Jermaine O'Neal credits his knee brace for preventing a more serious injury. He might play tonight, but I'd personally prefer that he sit this one out.

Jason Kapono talks about how the Raptors need to improve defensively. Wait — they asked Kapono about defense? Isn't that like asking Lindsay Lohan about clean living?

An anonymous NBA scout had this to say about Will Solomon and Roko Ukic: "Neither of those guys have shown they deserve to be in the NBA."

Michael Grange talks about the Raptors' need for an upgrade at shooting guard. Big ups to Grange for dropping some PER knowledge in his blog.

Another scout reports that Larry Brown's always-changing playbook makes them the toughest team to scout in the NBA. Of course, they're still 4-9.

Antonio McDyess will return to the Pistons on Dec. 3. That's some bullshit. Stern needs to fix this rule so that players can't return to a team they've been traded from until after the season.

SLC Dunk has a preview of what looks to be a highly entertaining interview with Andrei Kirilenko that will appear on SI.com later today.

Kelly Dwyer reports that Steve Nash is sick of playing halfcourt basketball in Phoenix. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Catching up with Matt Bonner: "I'm a minor celebrity in three places on the planet: San Antonio, New Hampshire and Toronto. And by minor, I mean minor. Most people that recognize me don't care." How many of you are going to cop his signature New Balance kicks?

Ron Artest doesn't like to wear tight jeans. Note the smoke at the very beginning of this video.

Jamie Foxx sings the Brady Bunch theme song.
