That was one of Chuck Swirsky's catchphrases.

He wasn't very good to start with. He got drafted based mostly on potential and hasn't developed much skill-wise. Although he's been really good this year!

He never had point guard instincts or skills. His ceiling was pretty ok scoring combo guard off the bench. Milwaukee is bad enough that he can just do what he does, there's a reason they have like 5 mediocre point guards, someone has to pick up ballhandling slack.

Also he said it as Onions....baby, Onions! and I get really confused when that's supposed to be about balls.

A scrotum kind of hangs in a teardrop shape like an onion. Maybe he meant, this guy has two ball sacks and so is extra masculine?

Edit: Also, I'm pretty sure Gerald Green spent time in D-league and came out OK.

Amir Johnson spent an eternity in the d-league and probably would have washed out of the league without it as an option.

Rudy Gay is good at basketball again. I don't know if I'd pencil Sac in for the playoffs yet though, this just screams "Hot start, end with 42 wins" to me.

Above .500 is more than I could have wished for. Success!

I really wanted to watch the game yesterday afternoon and couldn't find it on TV or on stream or on illegal stream so I gave up. I do want to see this new Kings team though (which are words I don't ever think I've typed since the days of C-Webb and Peja).

Gerald Green played for a team named the Dralions in China.

The first week or two of the season is usually a complete crapshoot. The good thing is they have a good coach, DeMarcus Cousins is still really good at basketball, and they've got some nice athleticism on the wings.

It's good that the Kings are good because it means we get to hear Charles Barkley say "Durren Collison"

I see Carmelo joined the 20K point club.

Anyone have an opinion as to whether or not Ray Allen is going to stop playing?

Both feet leave the ground when players are running and dribbling (ie technically jumping), and that's not a travel, so taking little hops while dribbling is also not a travel. Stop nitpicking.

Every dunk thenceforward shalt now be a travel.

I think current rumors have Ray Allen not wanting to come back until later in the season.

I think he's going to join a contender sometime after the All-Star Break.

Probably beg Bosh to let him rejoin the Heat.

Rick: Feb 23, 2004; When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Local TV is a giant chunk of team's revenue and the more national games the less valuable (to local networks) the service is, theoretically, at least.

Good point. It's just more obvious at the start because you see things like Philly leading their division.

I just seen that interview on TV, he was asked a question about Kidd and he prefaced that with "I believe you Americans have a saying, an aphorism--"

He was using a lot of extremely american idioms in the interview actually it was kinda weird he did say "STRONG" a lot tho
