SportsFilter: The Thursday Huddle:

A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.

I'm watching Pacers vs Nuggets from London right now. What a difference between the rather reserved British crowd and the usually raucous NBA experience. It almost sounds like they are playing in a high school gym. Players often say that they are energized by the crowd. I wonder if the lack of fan reaction will have any effect on the quality of play. So far it doesn't appear so.

Now I have a better understanding of Derrick Coleman. He played his entire pro career pretending he was in the UK.

Bill Simmons gets some unusual recognition from a barista.
