Tony Parker followed his lead Friday against Memphis, only three weeks after spraining his left ankle. The initial diagnosis had the French point guard missing at least four weeks.

Eastern Conference Insider: Flash is back

 

By Rob Peterson, NBA.com

Posted Dec 2 2008 3:59PM

 

It started in Beijing when he led the U.S. men's team to a gold medal by leading the team in scoring at 16.0 points per game. It has continued back in the States where he leads the NBA in scoring.

 

In case you hadn't noticed -- and it should be obvious to everyone by now: Flash is back.

 

Dwyane Wade's 37-point, 13-dime performance in Miami's exhilarating overtime win at Golden State on Monday was just another in a long line of stellar performances this season. But is he better than ever? You could make that case, as Wade has been getting it done for the 9-9 Heat on both ends of the floor. Why? One NBA general manager explains.

 

"Obviously his health is the primary difference," the GM said. "He took the time required to get his body right and it's paying off for the Heat."

 

Despite the padded undershirts and undershorts he wears under his uni, Wade's reckless abandon has taken a toll during his career. He has never played more than 77 games in a season and has missed 62 games in the last two seasons combined, including the Heat's final 21 games of the 2007-08 season, with left knee tendinitis.

 

But Wade, conscious that the philosophy of "fall down seven times, get up eight" may put his career down for the count, has added a new weapon to his arsenal: a jump shot.

 

"It keeps you off the floor, and it keeps you from getting banged up as much," Wade told Chris Perkins of the Palm Beach Post.

 

For Wade, practice made him comfortable outside of his usual comfort zone.

 

"I worked on my spots where I was going to get the ball," Wade told the Palm Beach Post. "And when the time came for me to shoot it I was already comfortable with it."

 

Wade's new-found love for the J hasn't stunted his much-heralded ability to get to the line. He can still get to the rack with the best of them. Wade's 177 free-throw attempts in 18 games (9.83 per game) puts him second in the NBA behind Orlando's Dwight Howard. Being able to score from anywhere on the court has no doubt helped Wade take over the NBA's scoring lead with 28.7 points per game, which would eclipse the 27.2 average in 2005-06 when he finished fifth in the NBA in scoring.

 

Wade's experience in Beijing also provided a springboard for this season.

 

"The Olympic experience was also a great way for him to get back his basketball feel and confidence in his body," said the GM.

 

In addition to leading the league in scoring, Wade has flipped the switch on defense as well. Wade is second in the league behind New Orleans' Chris Paul in steals with 2.47 per game and is an amazing seventh in the league with 31 blocks, tied with Charlotte's Emeka Okafor and ahead of centers Ben Wallace, Chris Kaman, Yao Ming and Andris Biedrins.

 

"He's as a good as anyone in anticipating when to gamble and when not to gamble," one NBA scout said. "And he's not only blocking shots on smalls [guards], but bigs as well.

 

"He's been blocking shots from double teams, from weakside help. His anticipation there has been unbelievable. He's as good as anybody in the league at understanding what teams are trying to do."

 

Wade has played in all of Miami's 18 games. Can he make it through another 64?

 

"I do think he can stay healthy for a whole 82," said the scout. "What [Erik] Spoelstra has done is made sure Wade's got his rest during games, and he's got a regular rotation going. Wade's not playing 42 minutes a game.

 

"So, I do think he can stay healthy and I hope he can."

The Toronto Raptors have fired coach Sam Mitchell one day after the team absorbed an embarrassing loss at Denver.

 

 

Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo says assistant Jay Triano has been promoted to interim coach. Triano's first game as coach is Friday night at Utah.

 

Colangelo calls Wednesday's move a difficult but necessary step.

 

Toronto is 8-9 after it lost 132-93 at Denver on Tuesday night -- the fifth-worst defeat in franchise history.

 

Mitchell was 156-189 in four-plus seasons as Raptors coach. He was honored as the NBA's coach of the year for the 2006-07 season.

 

Triano is in his seventh season on the Raptors' coaching staff. He becomes the seventh coach in franchise history

ainda em 06/07 foi o treinador do ano no Este.

[The Bad Blood]

Os fãs de Toronto diziam que o Frank era um génio ao pé do Sam Mitchell. Isso diz bem da precariedade da situação ... :lol:

O Hornets vai ser um dos quatro times da NBA a participar do “NBA Hardwood Classics Nights”.

 

No dia 10 de dezembro, na partida contra o Charlotte Bobcats, o Hornets vai homenagear o 40º aniversario do New Orleans Buccaneers, antigo time da ABA.

 

“O basquete tem um histórico forte em New Orleans”, disse o executivo do Hornets, Chad Shinn. “Celebrar o 40º aniversário do Bucs é uma ótima maneira de podermos prestar homenagem à história do esporte em nossa cidade.”

 

O Hornets também vai usar uniformes diferentes nos dias 28 de janeiro (contra o Denver Nuggets) e no dia 27 de fevereiro (contra o Milwaukee Bucks).

 

O uniforme do Bucs também será utilizado no dia 16 de janeiro, na partida contra o Cleveland Cavaliers.

Race to the MVP: Another point guard joins the mix

 

 

If you've followed me here at Race to the MVP or at my old column, Central Intelligence (and I know you did), you'll know that I have a thing for point guards like tweenage girls have a thing for the Jonas Brothers.

 

"Did you see that no-look pass?"

 

Swoon!

 

"Did you see how he broke his ankles?"

 

Oh my god, he's so dreamy!

 

"Does anyone control the flow of the game better than him?"

 

Sigh.

 

Another knock at the door ...

 

Vince Carter, New Jersey: Oh, um ... Hi. Yes, yes, I am surprised to see you. No, there is no problem, it's just that, well, it's been a while, Vince, and I didn't expect to see you in the Top 10 neighborhood again to be honest with you. I thought you had moved far away. And, yes, yes, it is good to see you. I mean, you definitely have the talent and ability to be here. I don't think anyone has ever denied it. I just thought ... well, lots of water under the bridge since you've made an impact. What? Oh, yeah, Devin's here. He's inside the Top 10. OK, I will tell him "Hi" for you. Maybe sometime soon, you can come on in and tell him yourself. It was good to see you too, Vince. Come around again, will you?

 

Hoops Line of the Week: Devin Harris at Phoenix, Sunday, Nov. 30: 47 points, 8 assists and 7 boards

 

More point guard love. Just a damn impressive line.
