Giovonny, hold on now! Stockton was 6'1, not 5'10! Let's not lionize him too much! But you are right, he couldn't have been getting those numbers if he were shyt.

Gio, I'll be in the Bay Area next week (tues-wed). I've got a good part of Tuesday to kill and would love nothing more than to play a little 1 on 1 and then go sarging later on.

Yes, they often list themselves shorter or taller then they actually are. People who have seen or met him will confirm this. He is not even 6 feet tall.
I listed myself at 6 feet but i'm not. It's very common. 6'10 guys list themselves as 7 footers.
Shaq used to weigh 320 pounds but he listed himself at 280. They are protecting their image and public persona. And, they know scouts, gm's and owners look at those numbers. If you list yourself at 5'10, everyone will say you are too small before they have ever seen you play. Garnett used to list himself at 6'11 because he didn't want to be seen as a 7 footer. He wanted to appear as more athletic and mobile and listing himself below 7 feet is what he did.
Its just like what we do in our online profiles right!

Bulls just did it again without Rose due to depth. Watson, Gibson, Asik were huge this game. Last time it was JL3. Someone always steps up for them. Depth will carry these guys for a deep playoff run.

A champion team will always beat a team of champions. Too many chiefs, not enough indians with the heat.

Bosh was making his mid range jumper. He didn't get many touches in the paint. He is a decent post up player if he can get low position on the block but they didn't really try to post him up. They gave it to him at 18 feet and let him face up. He is kind of like Pau Gasol in the sense that he is a finesse big man and not a power big man. He is definitely skilled and can make shots. They are gonna need him to play well if they are gonna make it back to the finals. He is the third best player on that team.
I was really impressed with the Bulls team play on both ends. Great coaching, great attitude, and great effort by everybody on that Chicago bench. Madison Street was rocking!
Chicago has a better team but Miami has the best player..
Playoffs are gonna be fun.
Spurs got a big revenge win over Memphis.

Rose definitely looked rusty. As I said before it will be good for him to get the first round in before facing some of the contenders in the east.

A first round series for the Bulls should go 5 games or less. They need as much rest as possible for the guys who are coming back from injury.

On another note, my Bulls playoff tickets just arrived in the mail. Can't wait for the playoffs to start.

Anyone catch the OKC/Lakers game today? Turned out to be a great game in which LA won in double overtime. The Lakers came back from a huge deficit in the fourth. Kobe was Kobe. Durant shot 11-34 while Westbrook was 3-22....THREE FOR TWENTY-TWO!!!!

unbelievable game though.
the thunder really missed james harden in the 2nd half and overtime. beyond him, they dont have many scoring options off the bench. collison is primarily there to defend and rebound. i think the same can be said for nazr. cook is a shooter, and a very streaky one at that. derek fisher can't create his own shot either. harden is the only guy on that team not named durant or westbrook that can create shots for himself.

Westbrook is a dynamite talent, but definitely selfish. It was evident they needed a third scorer that can create shots of his own, and with Harden out Westbrook had to take ill-advised shots. Durant struggled as well, and I'm surprised Devin Ebanks gave him that much trouble. I would think with someone as inexperienced as Ebanks in prime time that Durant would be able to take over.
I'm confident in the Thunder out of the west though. They and San Antonio are among the most complete teams.

Anyone wanna bet Artest watched the Jones/Evans fight? He must have been dreaming he was Jones when he went to sleep that night and it carried over into the game.

artest is a punk and always will be no matter what he changes his name to. i lost all respect for him after that fight in detroit.
the NBA should come down hard on him and suspend him from any post season games the lakers play. that could have seriously hurt harden more than it already did.
