Manu Ginobli's "Battering-Ram" ends Bat Delay
There are a variety of occurrences for an NBA delay from issues with the clock to lighting problems and even the occasional hawk attack. However, this is a first for the NBA, "a bat delay" and right on cue during Halloween.
Nearing the end of the first quarter between the San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings, a actual bat flew onto the court and caused a "bat delay."
The game was delayed for a period of time until Manu Ginobili and his cat-like instincts smashed the bat. The bat eventually perished due to that hit but I have feeling that if the Spurs are ever in trouble, Bruce Wayne will be nowhere in sight.
UPDATE-Here is the clip of Ginobli knocking the bat out of the air in real-time with play by play.

The New Jersey Nets even lose at softball
With most of the nation under World Series fever, I figure that I would dig up this clip of the New Jersey Nets playing a softball game at the new Yankee Stadium.
The coaches faced off against the players and Nets head coach Lawrence Frank was more pumped for this game that any NBA game I have ever seen him coach.
To ruin the video for some, The Nets coaches beat the players. I wonder if that karma translated to opening day.
Suggested Halloween Costumes for the NBA
Ah, All Hallow's Eve. The one time of the year where you will not get snitched on for eating candy or staying up way past your bed time. If your a college kid, you get enjoy the spoils of the Halloween party where you can get wasted and every female costume can be considered slutty.
Even the NBA gets into the act and shows off for this once pagan time, but for the NBA players, coaches, general managers and owners, the real question is, who do I dress up as?
We here at TNLP had a suggestion box placed outside the office and here are some of the better ones.
Kobe Bryant -> Black Mamba
Stan Van Gundy -> Not Ron Jeremy
Danny Ferry -> R.C. Buford
Kevin Durant -> Durantula
Shaquille O'Neal -> Younger Shaquille O'Neal
Jerry Sloan -> Doc Rivers, Mike Dunleavy, Mike Brown, Sam Mitchell, Mike D'Antoni, Avery Johnson, Hubie Brown, Rick Carlisle, Pat Riley, Lenny Wilkens, Gregg Popovich, Phil Jackson, Larry Bird, Byron Scott, Cotton Fitzsimmons, Don Nelson, and Don Chaney.
Donald Sterling -> The Devil
Mark Cuban -> Scrooge McDuck
Brandon Roy -> Rick James, "I'm Brandon Roy, Bitch"
Chris Anderson -> Amy Winehouse
Chris Anderson's Back-Up-> Dr. Drew
Glen Davis -> Mike Tyson
Stephen Jackson -> Captain Hook
Blake Griffin -> 2010 NBA Draft First Overall Pick
The Memphis Grizzlies -> The Seattle Supersonics
The Sacramento Kings -> The Kansas City Kings
Lebron James -> Braylon Edwards
Lebron James backup -> The Larry O'Brien Trophy
Dwight Howard -> Superman
Mikael Pietrus -> Lois Lane
Happy Halloween, Everybody!
It's another edition of "Who He Play For?"
With the NBA season underway, that signals the triumphant return of our favorite NBA related cable show, "Inside the NBA."
During Ernie's Neat-O Stat of the Night, they decided to test Charles Barkley's NBA knowledge by asking him about five players and where they currently played. If Barkley is going to be an NBA GM, he'll have to brush you on these players eventually.
For those of you that care, I got 3 out of 5. To be honest, I agree with Charles on one thing, Jason Hart plays for a different team every damn year.
Your "Lazer-Light Shows" do not amuse Stan Van Gundy
(I posted this over at Outside the Boxscore but this needs to see the light of day here)
The one thing that I always find funny about the NBA is the pageantry of the introductions and the techno light mix that they bring.
The Orlando Magic raised their Eastern Conference championship banner and well, Stan Van Gundy was a little on the bored side.
I don't blame him, the economy sucks and that NBA Finals winner cut could have bought him a beach house.

Carmelo Anthony "Smushes" Paul Millsap
We had a full-slate of NBA games on the docket last night which included the Denver Nuggets taking on the Utah Jazz.
In this late game stuff, Jazz forward Paul Millsap makes a bad pass and surely pays for it as Carmelo goes up for the slam.
My question is "If Paul Millsap falls during an NBA game, did it happened?"

Chris Bosh's "First Ink" looks EPIC
One of my favorite players in the NBA is Toronto Raptors forward Chris Bosh and I will say that he is a man of the people in Canada.
Recently, he put a up a trailer for his documentary called "First Ink" which is a documentary following his off-season away from the NBA which he calls the "most important of his career." (For Now.....)
It looks like an entertaining documentary and will be different from a typical NBA produced documentary about a player. Hell, we might even get to delve into the pysche of Chris Bosh if we are lucky enough.
To order it from his website, check out this link.

Derrick Rose gets into Rainn Wilson's Cab
In the latest installment of the NBA on TNT promos, Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose gets into the cab driven by actor Rainn Wilson.
This one is pretty solid and it's nice to see that the Chicago Bulls are creeping back on the national radar.
How did they get there before? Some guy with the number 23 had something to do with that.

Charles Barkley "Quits" Golf on David Letterman
On Monday's edition of the "Late Show with David Letterman", Dave had Charles Barkley on as one of his guests.
One of the topics of conversation was Barkley's futility at the game of golf and his show on the Golf Channel.
Barkley is one of the few sports figure that I listen to when he speaks his mind and I respect his opinions. I will agree with him that he is terrible at the game of golf but to be honest, 90% of us, suck at the game as well.
Ron Artest wants a "Afghan Girl"
Recently on That NBA Lottery Pick, we presented a video by Ron Artest called "Georgetown Girl." Well, that's not the only music video that Ron Artest has been working on recently.
He has this new track called "Afghan Girl", and well, I think the video is pretty self-explanatory.
This has to be an SNL digital short. Right?

British crooner Michael Buble and his girlfriend of three years, British actress Emily Blunt have called it quits.
Michael Buble's publicist Liz Rosenberg tells exclusively to Perez Hilton, "Sadly, after three years, they have parted ways. They are both extraordinary people with huge talent. Let's wish them well."
We wish the all the best too. These two were really one of the most goodlooking and promising couples in Hollywood...

Michael Jordan's First NBA Game
Yesterday marked a milestone in NBA history, it was the anniversary of Michael Jordan's first NBA game against the Washington Bullets back on October 26th, 1984.
The game ended in a Bulls victory by the score of 109-93 and Jordan's stat-line was rather low but balanced.
I think many of us at that time could not conceive of how great Jordan could become but that is the greatness of the NBA's Opening Night, we get to see future Hall of Famers play in the present and NBA rookies begin to write their own NBA legacy.
The only difference for Mike is, he already wrote his.
