These are actually pretty decent games. Usually there are a few guaranteed blowouts but this lineup looks pretty good.

By the time the games roll around I'm confident there will be injuries and lowered expectations for some of the teams. It seems like a reality every year.

And even then nobody can predict the games. Those goofy announcer "keys to the games" explode often and they don't even know :wtf: they're talking about many times.

I mean most Bulls fans are probably happier not having to watch them and just using box scores. These days, anyway.

Butler had good box scores last year for the Bulls. He will be missed.

I agree on that guy being the model, but I think Jack doesn't go now due to health, at least that's the word.

Life, friends, is boring
Watching FIBA Asia Cup highlights, as one does in the morning, I saw the best player on the Lebanon squad drop 33 on New Zealand. So I checked out his Wiki page and I'm intrigued:

quote:

Fadi El Khatib ((Arabic: فادي الخطيب‎‎), born December 18, 1979)[1] is a Lebanese professional basketball player for [[Al Fawaz Mazboud vlub in the Lebanese Basketball League He was also a main member of the Lebanon national basketball team that participated in the 2002 FIBA World Championship in Indianapolis in the United States, in the 2006 FIBA World Championship which took place in Japan, and in the 2010 FIBA World Championship held in Turkey. In addition his personal coach and trainer King Taymour Bin Haitham Al Harb trained him to be a better player and reach al nujumiah.

I'll assume he's like Dirk's shooting coach, but with spiritual superpowers.

This is true. There used to be a radio station that called OKC Zoom City. Some Spiderman zoom poo poo would be cool. I can't believe the NBA is oblivious to the comic rage when the stars are basically comic superheros.

I like the new Suns jerseys, the trim makes them look like what they wore up until '93. Also very glad that the white jerseys have purple on them again. The numbers are ridiculously huge though.
