The latest version of the NBA Scoreboard 2010 addon for Firefox has been released as NBA.com undergoes a major site upgrade. If you have visited NBA.com in the past week, you will have noticed a few changes.
- The Scoreboard has been replaced by the GameLine. The GameLine incorporates both scores and schedules, as well as game leaders, broadcast information and video highlights.
- The GameInfo page now has the preview, the boxscore and the recap in the one page.
The underlying data exchange has also been upgraded from XML to JSON. I expect that these changes will eventually have major implications for the current data extractions techniques used by NBA Scoreboard 2010. However, I will not be deterred and will make every effort to ensure that NBA Scoreboard remains the most useful and comprehensive NBA addon for Firefox.

Hornets 110, Suns 103
As an upgrade-day post-script, my thoughts on the Suns loss to the Hornets on Friday, as broadcast on One HD. I found myself expecting the Suns to win this game. Having seen the same game unfold against the Rockets – get behind early, watch Frye shoot bricks, come back for a tight fourth quarter – I was expecting the same result. But the Hornets played basketball down the stretch and the Suns stood around watching. Peja woke from a slumber and the Suns earned an L. An off night for Phoenix or a sign of things to come?
