2. Free Darko. The thrilling conclusion of the Every Game Preview.

3. New York Times.
Harvey Araton looks into the life of Isiah Thomas since his April demotion.

4. Deadspin. A spurned Sonics fan gets off a marvelous rant by letter.

5. 48minutes.net. Anthony Randolph spends practice getting revenge for previous practice dunks.

6. Boston Globe. Jermaine O'Neal on the latest incarnation of the Indiana Pacers: "As an organization, we went from thinking about actually putting together a team that is going to win to actually putting out a team for image purposes. It was hard."
