From Scoop Jackson's ESPN Sports Nation chat this afternoon:

Yup, the playoffs.

I just wanted to give a special shout out to Scoop for all the great work he's done over the years covering the hoops world. He always brings that cool, down-to-earth perspective coupled with some sharp insights. There's a lot of haters, but that's bound to happen when you speak up and say some pretty counter-hegemonic things. Keep doing your thing Scoop.

In case you were wondering Sole Provider is the Encyclopedia Britannica for Nike Basketball Shoes. Definitely check it out. It's almost as hot as the newly launched GSoM Fashion segment.

Also, I wanted to point out that ESPN just loves Golden State of Mind (formerly Golden State Warriors BLOG). No really!
