    I was wrong and I guess the C's are tougher than I thought.

    And I guess you've been jerking it waiting to make that post. Putz.

    Oh calm yourself. I was originally going to go with #XanGeenius to show that I was just messing with you.

    Bledsoe is strong off the bench, but I'd take that deal.

    It depends on what the Celtics would plan to do with Bledsoe/Rondo going forward. Will they be able to convince Bledsoe to be happy coming off the bench when Rondo returns? Would they try to play them together? That would be a very small backcourt.

    That's such a get-the-hits contrarian piece. Sure, all teams improve when they subtract an All-Star point guard.

    Hey, they have won something like four or five straight games without him. Sometimes teams are able to up their game to make up for the loss of one player.

    Still digesting this guy's post, but it's interesting reading on why China can't develop world-class basketball:

    Jalen Rose -- Jordan was hung over, not flu-ridden, in his famous 1997 Game Five.

    He basically said as much in one of the quick videos of him on Grantland: http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/47767/video-jalen-rose-explains-the-nba-inner-circle.

    You know, I can totally see Jalen getting drunk with college kids and spouting off like that. Part of why I like the guy. He's kinda cut from the Barkley cloth in that respect.

    And, btw, that's hardly the first time I've heard the claim about Reggie Miller's crazy wife (now ex-wife) being the one who burned down his home, although I believe it is the first time I've seen it reported this publically. That investigation got dropped rather abruptly, with Reggie's consent, I suspect there's a reason for that.
