Michael Grange talks to Chris Bosh about his off-court activities and business interests. Biggest revelation in this profile? He has a collector's edition Sex in the City DVD set. Jermaine O'Neal says he likes the Raptors' chances of "doing great things" this year. The money quote in this article is actually from Smitch: "The thing I love about him, not one time has he talked about 'Give me the ball.' All he's talked about is playing defence and rebounding." Speaking of Smitch, he's trying to give up cursing. I suppose that's admirable, but it does kind of ruin my image of his as the Samuel L. Jackson of NBA coaches. He just doesn't seem as fun without the imagined scenes of yelling at Bargnani to grab some em-effin' rebounds. On the topic of Smitch's penchant for foul language, Cuzoogle lists 10 things that will make him curse again. Doug Smith's mailbag continues to entertain and enlighten thanks to thoughful emails like this one from Mary L. in Ajax: "Is there any difference between a preseason and a regular game?" Am I the only one that imagines Doug banging his head on the desk when he reads some of these emails? Seriously, if that email made the cut, how inane are the ones that don't? Anyway, here's how I would have answered Mary's question: "Think of preseason games as masturbation while regular season games are like actual sex. They can both be a lot of fun, but only one of them counts." It looks like Ben Gordon is going to sign the one-year, $6.4 million qualifying offer from the Bulls so he can be an unrestricted free agent after this season. I'm not saying Gordon is making a mistake in turning down the Bulls' six-year, $59 million offer, but Latrell Sprewell would like to point out that you can feed a lot of families with that kind of cash. If you're wondering why I've got Spree on the brain, it's because of this transcript from the fantastic new gameshow, "Win Latrell Sprewell's Money". The Grizzlies have a ton of intriguing options at point guard, and 3 Shades of Blue breaks them down. Bonus points for the gratuitous Adriana Lima picture at the end. Let's close this out by paying tribute to Jason Williams' retirement with this dope White Chocolate mix. Late addition (thanks to commenter Asif): The T-Wolves have invited Hoffa to training camp. I'll say this about Babcock — he sticks to his guns.
