Site- and network-related announcements:

• The tech wizards who created SBN 2.0 just installed a new search feature on all the sites. You can find the search field in the right sidebar. Here's a sample query. As you can see, the improved program searches posts as well as comments. You can expand your search to include every SBN basketball blog or the entire SBN brand of sites. Also check out the spiffy "Power Search" tool, which lets you get super-specific with your requests. So, in case you're curious, here's every post I wrote between January 1st and February 1st which contains the word "Redick"
• I'm pleased to welcome the two newest members to SB Nation's basketball network of sites: SLC Dunk (a Utah Jazz blog; formerly Basketball John and At the Hive (a New Orleans Hornets blog; formerly hosted by Wordpress.)

Tipoff's in just a half hour. Enjoy the game.
