Just Because: The Official Steve Novak Watch
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Props, Site Features, Southwest Division, Houston Rockets, Talent
The Dropping Dimes crew has been a big fan of Shootin’ Steve Novak since his days at Marquette. We had some lofty expectations for the gunner coming into last season, but for some reason or another (cough, defense), things never seemed to unfold.
Well, with last night’s season high of 10 (ten!) points, I have officially decided to start the Steve Novak Watch for the remainder of this season. Check back early and often for updates. Okay, maybe not often as he seems to only play about once a month. Maybe this is the start of a new era, but only time will tell…
Games Played: 5 (9:41 mpg)
Field Goals: 9-15
3-Pt Field Goals: 7-11
Free Throws: 2-2
Points: 27

Just Because: Seperated At Birth?
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Central Division, Cleveland Cavaliers, Editorial, Props, Site Features, Street Ball
I was fortunate enough to be about five rows back at last night’s Cavaliers game as they took on the Wizards. While the game was a blowout, this meant we were handed a lot of Damon Jones.
If you do one thing today, make sure it is a search for pictures from last night’s game as you’ll get to see Damon Jones’ new haircut. While he can be seen here giving Nick Young the business, I’ll try to find a better angle. It’s a sight to be seen.
With that said, someone tell me that Damon’s day job doesn’t involve playing the character Beetlejuice on the Howard Stern show…
Photographic proof after le jump…

Big thanks to The Cavalier over at YAYsports! for hosting the most recent edition of the NBA Carnival. Even bigger thank you for including Dropping Dimes in the mix. Go check it out here.
And while I’m here, I may as well let you all know of a pet project of mine called The Cleveland Sports Minute. Obviously, you’ll only be really interested if you’re in or around the Cleveland area. But you can at least humor me by clicking on this link and telling me what you think in the comments below.
Thanks, all.
Just Because: Bossing Up
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Central Division, Cleveland Cavaliers, Editorial, Props, Street Ball
To send us to the weekend, I have to show you guys this video of Drew Gooden found over on ESPN.
Thanks to this clip, I know now the meaning of “Boss Up,” and that Drew rocks to Tears for Fears. Have a good one, all.
Just Because: Not-So-Block Party
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Atlantic Division, New York Knicks, Editorial, Roto, Talent
Happy Monday, all.
I just wanted to draw your attention to our man Kelly Dwyer’s post over at Yahoo! that breaks down a list of players with more blocks this season than the Newest Knick, Zach Randolph.
His post breaks down just a few players from the Western Conference. And no, we’re not talking Tim Duncan and Yao Ming here…One name on the list? Dan Dickau. Seriously. Dan Dickau…of 10 minutes per night fame. Click Here for the rest, and a big thanks to whichever commenter pointed out that Daniel Gibson (six), all of 6’2” has three times the blocks that Randolph (two) has thus far.
Big thanks to Henry over at TrueHoop for the tip!
(Update: Here’s the link to the Eastern Conference)
Just Because: Minute Distribution
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Northwest Division, Seattle Supersonics
Nothing too huge to mention here, but I thought it was interesting to see the minutes that the Sonics have been giving Wally Szczerbiak as of late. Check out the box scores from the last several games.
It seems that Wally World is only safe starting every other game. What should be noted is that the Sonics have only won one of the past seven games - one of them that Szczerbiak received sub-20 minutes. He’s likely on the waiver wire in most leagues, so keep an eye on this development. That is, if anything even develops.
Just Because: Mr. Perfect!
Posted by Scott Sargent Categories: Editorial, Props, Talent, Milwaukee Bucks
While the Milwaukee Bucks dropped last night’s game to the Hawks - and you’ll do that when you only make 43 percent of your shots - I felt that one player needed to be recognized for his efforts: Mo Williams.
Unless the box score is playing games with my mind, Williams was a perfect 9-of-9 from the floor last night, sinking his only three-point attempt en route to 23 points. He was also a flawless 4-of-4 from the line. While he did also add nine assists, the shooting display for a point guard with a career percentage of just over 43 percent himself needed to some recognition.
I haven’t seen this talked about anywhere - including the AP report and even Rotoworld. Mo, your owners thank you.
