Our Sleep Deprivation Hasn’t Been Traded Yet
Just saw this on the HoopsHype rumors page:
League sources report that The Basketball Jones spent the early part of Thursday trying to acquire some vitamin C and sleep for JD in a deal that would have left Team Rest with a computer keyboard, some Honey Nut Cheerios and the expiring contract of podcaster Tas Melas, whose $2.2 million comes off the books this summer.
Sorry, guys . . . no show today. We’ll be back tomorrow morning.

The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 105 (.mp3)
In today’s show, Skeets and I go through several trade possibilities that might go down before this Thursday’s deadline: will the Bulls finally ante up for up Pau Gasol?; anybody want a Hall-of-Famer in KG or Kidd?; how ’bout a Hall-of-Fame whiner in Vince Carter?; do the Cavs want to call Mike their Bibby?; and many, many, more…
We also ponder if the Knicks are overachieving, hand out our Whoa Boy fantasy line-of-the-night and find out opening night in the 2nd half usually goes to the home team.

Thank you for all the joy (Monta Ellis) and pain (Michael Cooper).
The Basketball Jones — Episode 104 (.mp3)
On today’s show, Tas and I are joined by Brett Edwards — live from Las Vegas! — to discuss the crowd’s reaction to Howard’s sticker-dunk; having a go at the Skills Competition… in jeans; his celebrity sightings, and much, much more…
We also pick our highlights and lowlights from the weekend festivities, breakdown the Bavetta-Barkley race/kiss, and scold the G.O.A.T. for that ‘8′.

Bonus: Our very own JD is vying for a spot on Mark Burnett’s new reality show “On the Lot”. You can help us get him on the show by watching his video submission and leaving him an honest review. Cheers.

Ep. 103: Bend Your Knees, And Stick Out Your Pelvis
I’m telling you, baby, this show’s better than Elvis!
The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 103 (.mp3)
In today’s show, Tas and I pose the hard-hitting questions surrounding this year’s All-Star Saturday Night festivities. You know, like, how bad will the Sophomores kill the Rookies; can Mike Miller keep his hair out of his face long enough to shoot the three; and why the fuck won’t the NBA allow Dwight Howard to raise the rim to 12-feet?
We also speculate some trade deadline moves, hand out our Whoa Boy fantasy line-of-the-night and watch as our Thursday night “system pick” goes up in flames.

Comments (3)Ep. 102: Tim Hardaway …
Would think this is some sort of European come on move.
The Basketball Jones ‘The Fix’ — Episode 102 (.mp3)
In today’s show, Skeets and I discuss: the blatant anti-homosexual remarks made by former NBA player Tim Hardaway; the surprisingly pleasant response to Hardaway’s comments by John Amaechi; all the B-listers who have joined this weekend’s All-Star game; and much, much, more…
We also mock Vince Carter’s mocking, hand out our Whoa Boy fantasy line-of-the-night and get our fingers back on the pulse of the NBA.
