Joel Anthony of the Heat got the poster treatment from Josh Smith. I wish I could know what was going through Anthony's head when he decided to contest one of the league's best dunkers going to his strong side, while he faced the opposite direction.
2. Boo!
Did you catch Al Davis at the Raiders press conference? Here's a slideshow, if you missed it. Good luck sleeping, ladies and gentlemen.

Christian Standhardinger has watched a little too much "He Got Game."

5. Booze news
A study at the University of Minnesota concludes that 8 percent of fans leaving professional sporting events are legally drunk. Call it yet another endorsement for public transportation.
