The 10-man rotation, starring another J-Howard 'huh' moment

By J.E. Skeets


A look around the league and the web that covers it. It's also important to note that the rotation order and starting nods aren't always listed in order of importance. That's for you, dear reader, to figure out.

C: You Been Blinded. PG-13 video of Josh Howard's, um, interesting thoughts on "The Star-Spangled Banner."
PF: HP. OK, so J-Ho doesn't salute The National Anthem because, as he justifies it, he's "black." Who cares?
SF: NJNets.com. Yi Jianlian likes comedy and science fiction movies, and has never heard of fantasy sports.
SG: Totally Looks Like .... Apparently, Latrell Sprewell totally looks like actor Samuel L. Jackson.
PG: Brew Hoop and The Plain Dealer. Remembering the Mo Williams Show. Long live the Mo Williams Show!
6th: LA Times, via TrueHoop. New '3 Points' documentary shows Tracy McGrady's African aid journey.
7th: FIBA.com. Iran wheelchair basketball booted out after quarter-final no-show with USA.
8th: Peachtree Hoops. Hoopinion builds a detailed case against Hawks coach Mike Woodson.
9th: The Sporting Blog. Lots of opting-out talk revolving around Jazz star Carlos Boozer.
10th: NBA Insider/Newsday, via Das Haus. How the ailing stock market could affect the NBA landscape.

    Josh Howard you say whatever you want. If it pisses off people that you could care less about a stupid patriotic song that makes people look as if they are attending a hitler youth rally then so be it. I don't understand why people act so silly when paying tribute to a flag. Rememebr people - nationalism is destructive!

    Josh signed three pictures for my kids a few years ago... Guess what's going to happen to them.... Burn Baby Burn!
    What an idiot. I told my 13 year old son that Josh has the brain size of a pea and he says I'm giving Josh too much credit! I love my Mavericks -1

    This punk a$$ needs to be kicked out of this country for being so un american. Come to think of the millions of money he is making and living in the best country in the world, he still can't see how good he got it made. This mofo need a reality check. Try living in the middle east or some asian communist countries. Disrespect their flag and their tradition and you get your balls chopped off. Seriously Josh, you must be the dumbest unappreciated person i've ever heard of. I hope one day you will lose everything that you have and live the hard way like the rest of us. Come on man, is it too much to ask to just keep your mouth shut and pay a little respect for a few minutes. I guess you must be high again since its the off season. Josh Howard is a joke. I don't care how much money you have, I don't care how big your house is, I don't care what kind of cars you have. You sir is a disrespecting, dumb person and you are a big time joke.

    To Daniel M. please reread your history before you talk about slavery . Every counrty and every people have been slaves at one time or another. As for mr. howard, born IGNORANT AND HAS BEEN LOSING GROUND EVER SINCE. Just another reason I do not watch basketball.

    And another thing to these people stuck in the past. Its 2008, slavery was in the past, i don't think there are any black slaves going on in the USA. Let it go, its in the past. My ancestors where slaves too but you don't see me crying about it. I don't see why blacks are so complaining about slavery in the past, you guys should be happy your race are what you are now. You guys are considered in sports, singing, rapping, acting, anything. Just because you are black you have more opportunities to be successful in this country than any other race so don't freakin complain. Let slavery go, it's in the past. stop living in the past. you guys act like you were the one being slaves.

    Shame on any athlete who shows no respect for their country, where does he think his money comes from? I guess he is saying he is not an American then. When will his plane be leaving to take him back to his own country.

    Perhaps Josh Howard would like to let the rest of us know where he thinks his BLACK self would be better served. Also, where else in the world does he think that people would put up with his mouth, on or off court. He should be sidelined for the rest of the playing season. If he doesn't consider himself an American then why doesn't he just return to wherever it was he came from and stay there!!!!
