Just recorded a 2-hour 2-part NBA mega-podcast with @Zach Lowe + @Brian Windhorst - so many fun topics to discuss right now.

Dwight Jaynes

Why is Aldridge not at least third-team all-NBA? csnnw.com/blog/dwight/al…

Howard Chen

Harden's All-NBA honor really hits home when u realize he's only the 7th Rocket EVER to make All-NBA. First since Yao, 2009. #RedNation

Gary Lee

ICYMI: Dwight Howard reportedly added another team to his list of destinations. DB bit.ly/1302Ipg

Niki Bakouli

Eurohoops spoke with @MiskoRaznatovic who denies any negotiation with any team about Spanoulis until the end of the season.

Chris Herring

... he eventually said, "Our defense is designed to keep him [at the rim] as much as possible." Basically, if NYK wasnt gonna move him, cool

Joseph Goodman

FRANK VOGEL on Heat's late-game offensive strategy: “They had a more intelligent plan against Roy Hibbert than New York did."

Ryan Wolstat

Past 3 drafts, Raps stayed put twice, moved from 3-5 (still got JV); Cavs jumped from 8-1 in Kyrie year, from 3-1 this yr; Wiz went from 8-3

Chris Herring

I asked Vogel abt whether he was surprised NYK wasnt using Copeland to bring Hibbert out of the paint. Took him awhile to answer, but...

Chris Forsberg

No inside info from Sully on KG/Pierce: "I'm not the GM... so I don’t know anything that’s happening." Said supports them whatever happens.

Joseph Goodman

FRANK VOGEL before practice: “We’re very encouraged. Our belief in our ability to beat this team is strengthened after Game 1."

Mike Wells

Vogel on Miami's offense: "They had a more intelligent plan against Roy Hibbert than New York did and we've got to adjust to it." So true

Ben Golliver

Phil Jackson would take Bill Russell, not Michael Jordan, as first player to start team bit.ly/12QmK6N

Chris Broussard

DWade did not foul George on 3-pt attempt, so George should not have gotten 3 FTs and hence, taken the lead for Indy.

Chris Forsberg

Sullinger, who resumed light workouts about two weeks ago, is now on a 10-week program aimed to ramp him up. Hopes to be 100% by camp.

Jody Genessy

Jazz play on July 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12 at the Orlando Pro Summer League. As was previously rumored, it will be a tournament format this year.

Chris Broussard

Plus, Indy was lucky to have shot to win. George's 3pt was great shot but lucky; Ray Allen's missed FT was severe aberration and......

Chris Forsberg

More Sullinger: "Because I had surgery, I’m taking my time and getting back right. It won’t be a recurring injury."

Chris Forsberg

Jared Sullinger on surgery: "Everybody says back with a question mark, you might as well put an X through that."

Chris Broussard

Remember, the Pacers were 17-27 when he took over for Jim O'Brien. Vogel's turned them into contenders.

Chris Broussard

Frank Vogel is a terrific coach. He's taking way too much heat today (no pun intended). I would've had Roy in,but Vogel rationale was sound

Mike Prada

. @BulletsForever draft poll update: 58% want Porter, 26% want Bennett. sbn.to/Z0m0eo

Tom Haberstroh

Paul George on overplaying LBJ: "I'm used to having Roy back there. I gotta know who's going out on the floor with me."

Howard Chen

Makin any of 3 All-NBA teams not easy (Harden made 3rd team). Some who didnt make any All-NBA team: ZBO, Steph Curry, LAldridge.#RedNation

Jody Genessy

All-NBA first team: LeBron, Durant, The Big Fundamental, Kobe and Li'l Coach Killer (CP3, not D-Will).

Jared Zwerling

As D-Wade said the other day, "No one's 100 percent this time of year." Many procedures don't get reported on -- how teams manage injuries.

Jared Zwerling

Regarding Smith, many NBA players (& pro athletes in general) get some kind of knee treatment/procedure in the offseason. Keep that in mind.

Sam Amico

Anyway, NBA mock draft coming out today. One of toughest I've ever done, especially since I think half of first round will be traded.

Jody Genessy

All-NBA voting was just released. Surprisingly, Jazz C Al Jefferson got one first-place vote and would be on the fifth team if that existed.

Eric Koreen

When does Mark Towhey's book come out? Because I'm buying it.

Brian May

News10 is giving away these signs at tonight's rally so be sure to find me to get yours #LLTKRally http://t.co/CMqb9nChi9

Sam Amico

You guys are all jerks for not telling me Ke$ha is coming to Cleveland in August.

Tom Haberstroh

Paul George was up til 4 am: "I watched SportsCenter for so long that they continued to show the same highlights."

Dave McMenamin

An interesting graphic representation of how the Lakers make their draft picks (via @mattnorlander) cbssports.com/collegebasketb…

Mike Wells

Vogel said they will play zone defense next season. He has always been against it (the Jim O'Brien way) in the past.

Ken Berger

Vogel on Miami defense: "They had a more intelligent plan against Roy Hibbert than New York did and we've got to adjust to it."

Ken Berger

Frank Vogel quote on Miami's Game 1 defense coming in next tweet. Attention Knicks fans ...

Marcus Thompson

I'd expect to hear the Warriors linked to nearly every notable free agent. Who wouldn't want to play with what they saw in playoffs?

Al Iannazzone

As far as I can tell, this is the first time Tim Duncan was voted as a center. All other All-NBA teams he was a forward.

Zach Lowe

Heat ran Cole into a pick-and-roll w/ LBJ, a smart variation of Cole-LBJ pitch-back action they'd run several times earlier. Confused IND.

David Thorpe

One thing I'm sure will be changed if they are in the same spot-besides Hibbert staying in; George won't play James for the quick jumper.

Ben Golliver

LaMarcus Aldridge, and not Luke Babbitt, Stars on NBA/Taco Bell's new "Western Conference Big Box" twitpic.com/csofbe/full

Zach Lowe

To say things like "Hill shouldn't have switched onto LeBron" on the first LBJ layup gives no credit to Miami for enticing the switch.

You don't necessarily need great WRs to win a Super Bowl, you need WRs that are playing great... for a time. bit.ly/188T9dh

Brian Mahoney

Heat-Pacers Game 1 gets a 6.3 overnight rating for TNT, highest-rated playoff game of this postseason.

Sam Amico

Three other favorite NBA writers: @Michael Lee, @Jerry Zgoda and @Charles F. Gardner. As you can tell, I remain a huge fan of newspaper beat types.

Tom Haberstroh

Vogel also said he would've put Hibbert on the ball but only if there was <1 second left. 2.2 seconds too much time.

Marcus Thompson

FYI, the balloting for NBA awards is done prior to playoffs. I voted Curry third team.

Ben Golliver

2013 All-NBA Votes: Raymond Felton (Knicks) 3, Damian Lillard (Blazers) 0.

Tom Haberstroh

PG admitted today that he played D on LeBron at the end as if Hibbert was behind him. "That's why I was so aggressive."

Rick Bonnell

Steph Curry just outside the 3-team voting for All- NBA. Second-most votes (behind Brook Lopez) among others.

Tom Haberstroh

Vogel already has plans to play a ton of zone in next preseason so he can implement Hibbert zone on critical plays next season.

Ethan J. Skolnick

Blog: James unanimous, Wade hangs on and Bosh left off All-NBA teams. bit.ly/10nx1aK

Tim Chisholm

It’s not that there is zero chance tanking benefits a team, it’s that it guarantees you nothing and can set org back years.

Jorge Sierra

Update: Stan Van Gundy may never coach again? po.st/gOAydV

Tom Haberstroh

Vogel said he would've zoned up with Hibbert on the final play but he didn't feel comfortable doing it with no practice.

Eric Koreen

George Hill for Kawhi Leonard is the greatest trade in the history of the NBA.

Dan Gelston

So, my early goal for the US Open is to try and not say anything offensive about Tiger Woods. Seems like a hard thing to do this week.

Bill Oram

Jazz have announced summer league schedule. nba.com/jazz/news/2013…

Can't believe Noah didn't make one of the top 3 all nba teams..joke

Brian Mahoney

And the Warrior? RT ‏@Ethan J. Skolnick Full disclosure: I had a vote, and had LeBron first team, Wade and Bosh 3rd team.

Howard Chen

The other Houston Rocket other than Harden gettin All-NBA votes? Omer Asik. #respect #RedNation

Indiana Pacers assistant coach Brian Shaw is a candidate for the head coaching job in Brooklyn, I was told
