Poor Chicago, my ass.

They had Jordan for 13 years, snagged 6 trophies - one at our own expense - and two #1 overall picks after him, so I don't ever want to hear anything like "poor Chicago" again.

Poor Rose, maybe. Poor Chicago? Fuck 'em.

The move to rest Rose is a precaution. And they have enough talent to compete without him for short stretches.
Well, so much for hopes and dreams ...

I obviously haven't been paying attention because prior to this season I had no idea who Perry Jones was until I tuned in to all of OKC's games, and he's the primary offensive threat on nearly every possession.

He was a highly ranked highschool player who had two up and down seasons at Baylor. Showed a lot of star potential but a lot of bust potential as well. He was once considered a high lottery pick, but fell on draft night to the end of the first where okc picked him up. This has really been his first chance to show what he can do. David Thorpe was talking about him and said he's an example of "cats who can play if you let them, but who can't when you don't." He's very talented, but doesn't fill a complimentary role very well.

Just watched Warriors improve to 3-0 with a go ahead shot by Thompson amid 3 straight defensive stops against Portland. Impressive.
Go Suns!

Norris Cole was definitely top 75 at his position today, INF.

Yeah, he really failed to maximize his 5 shot attempts.

Miami's PGs are trash. Maybe worst PG rotation in the league, though Dallas is close.

I'm pretty sure INF said he would trade any of our PGs for Norris Cole and then give Cole a max deal. Or something.
