FanHouse: Tue AM 'Playoff Revelations' Edition

Our NBA guys have a series of posts on Playoff Revelations, honoring non-big name players who are having a big impact in the postseason. If you want to sound smart when talking personnel, this series is as rewarding as College Eye for the NFL Guy.

Also of interest:

• Not missing Big Ben: Cowher says he might never coach again
• Godspeed: David Halberstam dies at 73
• Putting the pastime on layaway: Braves introduce financing plan for tickets
• Adding insult to career-ending injury: Jason Whitlock declines offer for Don Imus Slot
• Tony Romo and Carrie Underwood seem very friendly, if you care about that sort of thing.
  

Plus below: The tearful fate of AK-47 and the second coming of wooden bats in New York baseball.
