#Pacers FVogel on Amare: "you close your eyes or blink on Amare'e Stoudemire and he's dunking on you"

"I feel like the time to do something was yesterday." Scary reality. nytimes.com/2013/05/11/sci…

Now it's Amare who returns before Derrick Rose.

Joey Crawford is on the crew for Game 3 tonight. Is it possible we'll see even more technical fouls tonight than the nine in Game 2?

Taj Gibson fined $25 grand but isn't suspended for Game 3 tonight.

2nd, Bogdanovic will probably be the one FA signing for more than the minimum this summer. Will likely sign for the mini mid level exception

First, don't expect him to play in Summer League. Because of the free agent moratorium, he won't sign until just before it ends.

Couple of additional things about Bogdanovic, some of which I mentioned in the blog posts I linked to:

Hat tip to @Josh Newman for reporting on this first.

And here's a corresponding post about how Bogdanovic signing would impact the Nets: bit.ly/134r0wO

Good morning. Rise and shine!!!! ☀

#Pacers George Hill on Game 3 Saturday: "The good thing is everyone (fans) is going to be off work."

#Pacers Paul George on Hibbert at rim: Gives me confidence I know I have the footspeed 2 stay in front of guys but I can come up & pressure,

Some leftover quotage: #Pacers David West on split: "We’re satisfied with what we did in New York."

Wanna thank the genius who thought 3 days between Gs 2 and 3 of #Knicks v #Pacers was good idea. Also love mumps, flat tires, airline delays

I have not 4got my people in Seattle, Denver, Philly, T-Dot, L.A, nothing but love 4 u. #IAintlyin!!!!!

People that think I am a Free agent I am not. #BrooklynNets All day.

What's good twitter.

Mike Baxter is pretty good at this game-winning hit thing huh #Mets

Larry plans to move to Dallas and his son will be attending SMU.

Larry Brown is in Philadelphia currently moving out of his mansion there, which he recently sold (it was listed at $7.85 million).

#Pacers FVogel on G2 v #Knicks:“If all I had 2 do was call a bad timeout 2 get this team some national attention I’d have done it 2 yrs ago”

Not sure what it says about me that I have no idea who Jodi Arias is. I think it's a good thing.

#Pacers Paul George on #Knicks CAnthony in G2 stretches: "I wasn't matched up with him I wasn't guarding him...I wish I stayed on him"

#Pacers DWest on amar'e returning for #Knicks: "We're not going to focus on that...what they do is not going to change what we do"

#Pacers pres of BB ops Donnie Walsh sez this Indy team tops his list of #Knicks v Pacers memories bit.ly/16iHRlV

I need a chill button

Noah: "We got punched in the mouth tonight, but we’ll be back … we’ll be back in 2 days. That game isn't going anywhere ... we'll be there."

Noah on all of those technicals for Bulls: "I would call that not keeping your cool ... not being very zen."

That 61-20 Heat run lasted 19:14 of game-time: from the 3:42 mark of the second quarter until there was 8:28 to go in the game. Amazing.

Apparently the #Heat weren't messing around tonight

By being so controlling in the first half, the referees set this powder keg up. That said, the Bulls did not handle the situation well.

And Taj Gibson could get suspended for his verbal tirade leaving the court. The last thing the Bulls need is another man down.

The Heat are currently on a 61-20 run.

If Thibodeau doesn't yank his starters at the end of the third, I'll be surprised. Bulls need to get as much rest as possible for Game 4.

And here's another technical foul, this time on Chalmers. Rodney Mott is getting his money's worth tonight.

Jeanne Cooper R.I.P. 40 years on the Y&R

Heck of a move by Jimmy Butler. Hangs in the air to drop in the and-one, goes to the line with a chance to cut Miami's lead to four.

LeBron talked before the game about changing his free throw stroke. Now that he's 4-for-8 tonight, might have to change it again.

Oh, my mistake. Tech was actually on Nate Robinson. Still not sure why. I think that makes five technical fouls in this game.

Marquis Teague just got tossed for a second technical during the break. No idea why.

Referees are all over this one. Already been several technical fouls and a double foul called tonight.

The Bulls aren't winning on the scoreboard but they've gotten into the Heat's heads Game is getting very physical – just what Chicago wants.

Jimmy Butler is sitting for the first time since Game 5 against the Nets. Pretty surprised he came out – was sure he'd be going 48 again.

Ridiculous move by LeBron to get to the rim for a layup to close the quarter. Now 6-for-6 – all at the rim – for 12 pts. Heat 25, Bulls 20

Joakim Noah and LeBron James each get technical fouls after getting tied up and jawing at each other about it.

The crowd in Miami is usually embarrassing. But this one today is even bad for a Miami crowd. This place is still maybe half full. Maybe.

Dwyane Wade is going around to each corner of the arena to fire up the crowd. Only problem? It's maybe half-full in here at tip off.

Of bigger concern is having to sit next to @Scott Cacciola tonight. Think I have an idea what he's going to want to talk about ...

I'm down in Miami for Game 2 of Heat-Bulls. In addition to following the Nets coaching search, will be with this series until it ends.

growing pains ;;

Happy national no sock day!!! #AshyAnkles #Toms toms tomsshoes #TomsAmbassador instagram.com/p/ZEDgNSC8Kp/

Up next on the #Nets' coaching search ... espn.go.com/blog/new-york/…

#Shoutout to @iLLESTration_ for painting this dope pic for my bday. go follow her now and check out… instagram.com/p/ZDaO3PC8Fq/

FWIW, P.J. got a first-place vote and one second-place vote. He actually finished ahead of Doc Rivers, Scott Brooks, Del Negro & Larry Drew

#Nets coaching search is underway, but according to league sources, Phil Jackson isn't interested: bit.ly/15G9GFa

I had a vote. My ballot: First -- Erik Spoelstra, Second -- Mike Woodon, Third -- George Karl.

#Nuggets coach George Karl wins @NBA coach of the year award. Erik Spoelstra came in 2nd, Mike Woodson 3rd.

Order: Karl, Spoelstra, Woodson, Popovich, Vogel, Hollins. Jackson, Thibodeau, McHale, Carlesimo, Del Negro, Drew, Rivers, Brooks.

The grind do not stop.

Goodmorning Twitter.

George Karl is a runaway winner for the NBA's Coach of the Year award. P.J. Carlesimo received one first-place and one second place vote.

My story in today's Post on Phil Jackson telling the Nets he isn't interested in returning to coaching: m.nypost.com/p/sports/nets/…

Latest ... Source: Jackson not interested in #Nets' job espn.go.com/new-york/nba/s…

"No looking back .. I don't even wanna see my prom pictures"

#Isles with a huge win; Harvey still the only reason to watch the #Mets

If Reggie came in for #Pacers and scored 8 points in :08.9, #Knicks would still be up 20

#Pacers missed 13 straight shots, committed 5 TO before Orlando Johnson 3-pointer

26 points off 18 #Pacers turnovers for #KNicks is sort of, you know, a telling stat after three quarters. Or four quarters, Or 19 overtimes

And the Jeff Pendergraph Era in Game 2 ends for #Pacers

Patrick is here, Reggie is here for #Knicks v #Pacers Why not play 4-on-4 plus one legend per side just for the hell of it

#Knicks over limit at 6:07 of third. Probably because, as fans note, "These refs suck" still

Sources: Phil Jackson doesn't want to coach Nets bit.ly/16VfOZP #brooklynnets

I could be wrong but I don't think the #Mets should let Matt Harvey throw like 134 pitches

#Pacers are within 5 vs #Knicks despite surrendering 20 points off 12 turnovers Finish 1/2 on 8-0 run Smith misses last 5 shots w/2TO 4 Knix

Be honest: you hear "Peter Rabbit" is your first thought, "Bucket Drummer"?

#Pacers have committed 10 turnovers already with #Knicks scoring 18 pts off TO

In a surprising development at #Knicks vs #Pacers Garden fans determine "These refs suck"

Also, @Chris Herring makes a prominent cameo in the photo atop that story: bit.ly/12ew7LS

It was always considered a long-shot that Jackson would be interested in returning to coaching. Blog post coming soon.

Phil Jackson is not interested in returning to coaching and, thus, will not be the next coach of the Nets, a league source told The Post.
