Quote of the day
"Derrick's not only a great player, he's a great teammate, he's a great person, but it's not a death sentence. It's not a death sentence for him, it's not a death sentence for our team." -- Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, after Derrick Rose tore his ACL and will miss the NBA PlayoffsDaily blurb
Two ACL tears in the opening NBA Playoff games on Saturday afternoon. The Knicks weren’t likely to challenge the Heat anyway, so Shumpert’s injury isn’t so impactful (other than to Shumpert himself!) But Derrick Rose going down certainly changes the outlook for the NBA East. Chicago could certainly still prevail in their first two rounds. But if it comes down to a Chicago-Miami matchup in the Eastern finals, advantage Miami. It also puts even more “heat” on the Heat to advance to the NBA finals – if that’s possible. Calvin Johnson will be on the cover of the Madden ’13 video game, edging out Cam Newton for the “honor.” If you are Detroit fan, be afraid – be very afraid. Three teams tied for the top best ball score (-51) in GuruGolf this weekend. Waddups took the worst ball honors alone with a +39. |
