As many people begin to celebrate Memorial Day weekend let's remember why we're having this weekend...

Royce Young

Color me unbelievably bummed about @ESPNGoodman leaving CBS. But awesome for him, and well deserved. Best in the business.

Chuck Swirsky

Not sure what went down in Orlando but all of us in the NBA broadcasting fraternity respect Matt Guokas Hoping to see him somewhere in 13-14

Gary Lee

Kobe wasn't kidding about that new tattoo. He posted a picture of himself getting inked up this afternoon. bit.ly/Z5TjwO

Steve Bulpett

Word to Herald is Doc 90-10 to come back but may still choose to sit out. He won't coach elsewhere -- and C's wouldn't let him.

Steve Bulpett

Sources: Doc leaning toward return to Celts, but it's by no means a done deal. bit.ly/13QX5vN

Steve Popper

Got an email from "British Holding Company" with subject line, "Good news." Showed up in spam, which was disappointing.

Ira Winderman

In '06, the Heat collected 15-Strong cards Last year, check marks on a trophy. In this title run, the Heat clearly are collecting testicles.

The Hangover 3 was just awful. Brutal.

John Schuhmann

Kinda sucks when you write a column calling out biased announcers & then one of the best & unbiased doesn't get his contract renewed.

Doug Smith

That Matt Guokas is no longer an NBA broadcaster is an absolute travesty. Unbiased, a pro's pro and a non-homer.

Evan Dunlap

Not a League Pass devotee, but am p. sure that Matt Guokas was dropping points per possession on telecasts before most other analysts

Arash Markazi

No one profited (and continues to profit) off the "Bush Push" more than Charlie Weis. sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story…

Josh Robbins

One of the things I respect about Matt G. and David S. is that they're not homers. Too much of local NBA broadcasting is overtly biased.

Matt Goukas is one of the best analysts on League Pass. Unbiased, smart, funny, reads everything. Hard to understand why ORL would ditch him

It can be a flagrant and it can be a flop. The flop came after the flagrant, and was apparently a waste of $5,000.

Bottom line: IND needs to do a MUCH better job of containing P&Rs & must make some open shots. Stephenson has missed his last 10 threes.

Phil is engaged in a monumental, some might say epic, push and pull with his hoops public, teasing over coaching or not. #hisambivalence

Mark Heisler

#LeBronJames doesn't finish as well going to off-hand? Who ever did, including MJ? Book's always: Pulls up for J, or doesn't finish as well

Also: watching me use a Mac is like watching an 80 year old go through an airport security line.

Phil: "Stevie Kerr said he would love to see the effect you would have...seeing you coach big guys like Pau+Howard."

Roland Lazenby

Jeanie, Rambis, Jim Cleamons tell Phil "you should not stay away...your influence is needed...brings another element to the game."

Mike Prada

Shorter version of the Beal/McLemore comparison, to me: McLemore's the more efficient scorer, Beal's the better playmaker.

I lean Beal over McLemore because he was a year younger and a more complete player, but it's very close.

Really curious to see what people think of this question: who is a better prospect between Beal and McLemore?
