Charlotte Gets a D-League Team in Greensboro

3

Interesting to see them getting a team. This could be a blueprint to how the Wizards should handle having a D-League team.

Marcin Gortat will not play in next several games

In polish press there is info that Marcin is going to Poland for several days, because his mother is seriously ill and she is in hospital.

Here's some national love from the four letters giving Wall some serious props. I disagree with his take on Sessions though.

Trevor Booker is a MAN....

...and Roy Hibbert is a bitch. That's why he got bitch slapped!

R.I.P. Moses Malone

In honor of Moses Malone's time with the Bullets, here's a game from 1987 against the Chicago Bulls and a young Michael Jordan. Note that Malone gets doubled on virtually every possession.

Put a fork in them. Russia is 0-3.

Wow. Not sure anyone saw that coming. And how about Erik Murphy of Finland ? Maybe some NBA team gives him another look. He was a late 2nd round pick in the 2013 draft that went to Chicago but didn't stick. He was one of many late picks that year I was hoping the Wizards would look at along with Jeff Withey, Pierre Jackson, Mike Muscala, Erick Green, and Ryan Kelly. Sadly, we ended up with Glen Rice. In a league looking for S4s, someone should give him a chance. http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Erik-Murphy-5273/

Watch out Czech Republic, Belgium's the real deal!

The Belgian Lions are 51st in the world's men's team rankings while the Lithuanians are 4th. Head Coach Eddy Casteels openly said that they would only have "one chance in one hundred" to beat them. Now, they just beat the Group D favorites. They face Tomas Satoransky and the Czech Republic next on Wednesday.
