Some links this afternoon before I zone out on some Michael Jordan VHS’ before hitting the bars in Brooklyn with my lady tonight.
—Jimmer Fredette is getting married to his BYU beau. Tom Ziller of SacTown Royalty isn’t invited.
—Kelly Dwyer on the hypocrisy of Kendrick Perkins staring down the TNT announcing crew over their remarks about his pick & roll defense. It’s all good though, “For Perkins to focus his ire on the TNT crew as he celebrates? That’s how it goes when you have 18,000-strong cheering you on.”
—Beckley Mason for ESPN on the art of the adjustment and the case for leaving Rondo open in game 3 even after his 44 point performance in game 2.
—Metta W____ P____ as Metta Man (video)
—Because everyone should watch Gregg Popovich’s post game press conference.
—Dispelling the myths surrounding the Celtics-Heat free throw disparity in game 2.
—Great great great piece from Justin Verrier at ESPN on James Harden.
—Daily Thunder blogger Royce Young at CBS’ Eye on Basketball about the Thunder’s game 3 victory.
—Rob Mahoney on the Tony Parker Russell Westbrook battle that “sometimes isn’t”.

- My spirit Tumblrer, Baller Shots, with a great write-up after traveling to take in a Lakers-Thunder game, imaginative fiction and hilarity ensues.
Go read both those guys and support your favorite Tumblrs.
