Let's Hope Karma Has Our Back Tonight

Just to recap, Rajon "Bitchmove" Rondo slugs Brad Miller in the mouth, knocks him so silly he can't hit his game tying free throws, and doesn't get a flagrant called. Meanwhile, in Orlando, Dwight Howard swings a dainty elbow that barely brushes Samuel Dalembert and gets suspended a game. I better see Aaron Gray take a tire iron to Rondo in the top of the second.

The Swapping Of The Weird Beards

With the Suns smartly deciding to hold on to Amare Stoudemire, the Chicago Bulls have settled for one of the other big men on the trade market and re-acquired Brad "Corn Rows" Miller from the Sacremento Kings along with breakout scoring machine John Salmons. The Bulls had to part with the never-living-up-to-his-potential Drew Gooden and his expiring contract as well as firey fan favorite Andres Nocioni. The move should be an upgrade if Miller can stay healthy and Salmons can get close to the playing time he now expects. Today's trade of Larry Hughes to the Knicks should help in that department. Chicago will also get to enjoy the services / cutting of Jerome "Garbage Man" James and old friend Tim Thomas who played about six minutes for the Bulls last time he was on the team. Most importantly, Chicago should have plenty of money for the 2010 free agent extravaganza and may land Amare or Chris Bosh after all.
