We all know that the point guard position is by far the deepest in the NBA these days. I don't need to list the names. You're familiar. But maybe I should, for Brandon's sake. Roy, that is. He's a bad man and sometimes slips through the cracks in the, "Badass point guard" conversation. He hits a ton of game winning shots and if scientists examined his body they'd find ice running through his veins.
He won't have time to stop and smell the roses tonight, though. Well, actually, he'll be around one Rose, so I'm sure he'll catch a whiff if he's able to stay in front of him. Derrick, that is. We'll see. The two young facilitators should be going at it all night and I can't wait. Rose and Roy, a true joy. Did I just get poetic a little bit? Look for Rose to continue attacking the hoop and Roy to drain shots from distance all night long.
Not too, too much on the line as the Bulls look to get to 2-1 while the Trail Blazers aim for 4-0. I guess that's a big deal actually. 4-0? Is that a big deal? Yeah, I think so. Only five undefeated teams left...
One Game We Probably Won't Watch Tonight: Sacramento Kings Vs. Toronto Raptors
This is the second time that I've stated that I probably won't be watching the Kings. I'm not a King hater and last time I said I wasn't going to watch them, I regretted it. I might again, but I'll take that risk over forcing myself to endure watching this dismal and depressing Raptors team. A post-LeBron Cavs team is worth watching based on their being an underdog team we can get behind, but the post-Bosh Raptors? Sorry Bargnani, but you'll have to earn our trust first.
With their young talent, Sacramento will compete to represent the West in the finals in three years at the earliest*, so I have some time before they turn into a must-watch.
Why the picture of Omri Casspi? Big night from him, I think. At least a double-double.
*90% of this argument is based on the hope that Kobe will no longer be Kobe three years from now. Knowing Kobe, though, he just might be.
