Swift out
Robert Swift is back on the injured list. Swift did not return to the game in the third quarter because of tendinitis in his repaired right knee. Swift appeared to be laboring in the first half, finishing 0-of-4 from the field with two rebounds and two fouls in 12 minutes. This is how it's going…

I'll keep saying it's early until it's too late
Saturday night's debacle against the Raptor was a perfect game to not watch, and I obliged for the most part. After seeing the first sub-20-point quarter you get a good idea of how the game's going to go. It would've been nice to see some of what happened in the season's only win carry over,…

GSoF: Week 9 Recap and Week 10 Picks
And so it was decided. The Patriots-Colts game last week was by far the best game of the season so far, and further proved that Brady, Moss, Welker, and the rest of the Pats have that magic touch that's going to keep this team winning. Its hard to say that they'll have a perfect season, but…

Okay okay okay.... Before you hang your head too low, let's acknowledge a few things about tonight. 1) We looked electric tonight. There was passion and heart bleeding from so many of our players that I won't even bother listing them in this intro. 2) Missing a key element like Jax affects…

Pistons launch five-game road trip in Seattle
I’m not entirely sure what’s going on in that video either, either, but the Pistons are in Seattle tonight so this is at least tangentially related. The Sonics are 0-6 but that doesn’t necessarily bode well for Detroit — these guys are pros and don’t appreciate…

Amir Johnson has bad luck on and off the court
First, on the court: as Chris McCosky notes in his blog, Flip Murray didn’t exactly do Johnson any favors running the point on Friday night: But finally, Amir Johnson got a chance to play 12 straight minutes. Finally, a chance for the kid to get some work. So what happens? Flip Murray decides…

Win for the Godfather
Sunday's night game is definitely one I would have loved to have been at. While the Suns play was uneven, the halftime festivities were special as Jerry Colangelo was added to the Ring of Honor. The Suns responded by making a run and put away the Cavaliers in the second half 103-92I was happy the…

Time to get in shape
Here's ten things I thought about during last night's loss.1. Even people who don't watch basketball want to know if Kobe is getting traded. Some dude at the gas station asked me about it. I think he was a terrorist.2. Tons of people complimented me on my KJ jersey yesterday. One Spurs fan at work…

Carousel of the Sun
The Suns have had a long history of being a team that will "make the deal". This theoretical deal, of course, is the deal where they will make a big trade in order to get better, or to fix the team. From the deal sending Jeff Hornacek, Tim Perry and Andrew Lang to Philly for the off beat yet…
