    sitting healthy players in jan. is fraudulent. i'd be pissed if i bought bulls tickets and D rose was on teh bench with a fake injury.... :x

    i agree ... but it's a fine line ... it's not so much of a fake injury as in ... he's a little banged up - let's not take any chances ...

    Yeah, there's going to be a lot that this season with this compressed schedule. Playoff seeding won't mean much...teams just need to get in.

    so remember Nate Robinson, he has 22 tonight for the Warriors.

    Best news of the day was Kobe getting more than 15 in the first half to extend my streak to 10 in ESPN's Streak for the Cash.

    i think you'll see a lot of that ... with back to back to back's and the condensed schedule ... factor in travel and injuries - what you end up getting is a lot more variables determining who will win a game ...

    from what i've seen, the back to back stuff is over rated. every body is doing it. and the teams playing the 3rd game in a 3 games in 3 nights stretch have been dominating the win column

    yeah ... all i'm saying is that there are a lot more variables now ... in the case of GS ... they played chicago on the second of end of a back to back (as was chicago) but they didn't have to travel ... plus, they had curry playing that game ... they also beat miami at home where maybe the cross country flight plus reintegrating wade was a bit of an issue ... all i know is that looking at the team and their records isn't going to predict who wins ... i knew last nite the raps would throw a stinker up and lose to the only winless team ... 2nd of a back to back to back where the guys that are gonna get you wins played big mins the night before and then had to travel going against a young team rested at home desperate for a win ... no brainer there ...

    And in fine fashion too. Always nice to see Lebron brick a go ahead freeby. The Heat are just a really douchey team to watch.


    I've always like Magic as a personality but I think he's been on ESPN too long. In the pregame when he was saying everybody needs to get off Lebron's back about the night before. I can remember a few instances where they showed BREAKING NEWS along the bottom line and it's been Magic callin Lebron out about one thing or another.

    My colleague at work told me you can by NBA live internet access for one teams games only?
    Is this true?
    If so I want to know the price of this, I was told it is cheaper.
    I just want to watch Bulls games.
