we go live now to hour seven of the Rondo hostage crisis. Police have been airlifting in VHS copies of Police Academy and Ski Patrol that Hoiberg needs to live. The Big Three have been called in to negotiate with Rondo but KG has tried to break through the doors with headbutts. Rondo has been threatening Hoiberg with a basketball, but police SWAT teams are trying to get him to three point range, where Hoiberg will be completely safe from any Rondo shots.

"We're in Utah, and the [league's] drug test people are around, you know, to get our last drug test so we can smoke, right? Don Nelson, we talked about weed all the time. He was cool with talking about weed. We got our last test in Utah, right? So me and [teammate] Baron [Davis] are coming out the locker room just screaming, excited with our last pink slip saying we could smoke for the rest of the season, and Don Nelson hauls rear end down there giving us high-fives, like, 'Yeah, we can smoke now!'" Jackson recalled. "It was cool, the fact that he knows what's going on off the court with his players, which was great, man. We enjoyed it. That's why we were a great team."

I thought you were an expert in how black people view and interact with each other, since you've posted on these very forums about how having black friends makes it ok for you to say the n-word. It's cool that you're telling a black man how to feel about another black man's thoughts on race relations, since white men have always been such great friends to the black community.

I'm sort of a pizza snob but I actually like Bertucci's. Probably because I only travel to Boston a couple times a year.

I can tell you Minneapolis/Saint Paul is not nor should it be anywhere near the top of best Pizza in the US.

The most interesting thing about this Barkley thing is the whole "he's broke" thing. This is some widespread inside knowledge/rumour??

What was that championship game this year where Charles looked like his dog died after the game?

It's all making sense now, there's no way famously lazy fucker wanted extra projects like that race show without threats of leg breaking.

Sanders apparently had game circa the summer of 2015 still but he would only play with a Drew League friend. He was strongly considering the Lakers due to Nick Young but wanted to see if they were a playoff team, and, well, Nick Young was in the deep doghouse.

I cant get over how bad Demarre Carroll is. He literally does everything wrong on every play. If he was just missing shots I'd get why Casey would play him but he gets blown by on every assignment, doesn't rotate, chases bad offensive boards and is consistently out of position. I'd say he's like a rookie out there but rookies are at least athletic.

I'm kind of not getting how what Barkley said about LeBron was all that bad. Charles can say some dumb stuff about basketball (i.e. three-pointers) but in this case he is mostly right: Cleveland is the defending champs and they started off the year white-hot, so its not like they really need 2-3 new players to become championship contenders again. The Cavs are just in a funk right now.

Charles sure did get under his skin though, so it's clear LeBron is real frustrated right now.

A simple analysis of his instagram could lead an average child to the belief that he's narcissistic and doesn't really care about anything but looking cool but not like the other, because his earring is a golden skateboard. He's so corny. But when he was on, he was terrifyingly good.

That bucks buyout money won't last forever, but he keeps buying new sports cars. Something has to give.

Larry Sanders will make his return to pro basketball
