An MRI on D Rose's back has shown no structural damage. Thank **** for that. I am not sure what I would do if Rose had a serious injury.

Hopefully he will be back before the All Star game.

at least you still got all star deng to cover. expect his production to soar

Are the Bobcats a chance to have the lowest win % in a season? Currently 3 and 25 and with the fifth worst record through 28 games in league history.

The obvious benchmark is the 72-73 76ers at 9-73, with the Cats on pace to finish around the 7-59 mark.

Nice win by Dallas tho Blake 2/9 from the stripe is contrasted by Dirks 11/15

Definitely a chance, certainly one of the worst offensive teams of all time as it stands right now.

At least next year is supposed to be a strong draft, though I'm beginning to question how solid the young core of this team really is.

That was only because we were looking to get more Hedo fall away 3 point leaners into our offense.

Don't underestimate the need for extra Big Baby mega fall-away shots to fit into the offense either.

From the little I have seen of you guys, Kemba is definitely a talent. Henderson and Augustin can play, as can Diaw, when he puts his mind to it, although he's pushing 30 this year.

Purely based on stats, I've not seen enough to really comment, but it would appear that Derrick Brown could be a useful role player in the future.

The rest of the squad is pretty thin, I'd hope they are looking at loading up in draft picks in the next few seasons to really build a solid core. Currently you have Portlands first rounder in 2013 (top 12 protected) and lose a (protected) first rounder to Chitown. It's going to take some good draft choices, something that Charlotte doesn't have a record in, unless you can trade for some more early picks, which isn't likely as there's not much in the way of tradeable talent.

Here's a fun one for Knicks fans:

The Knicks and Raptors discussed a trade of Anthony Carter for Jeremy Lin.

New York was interested in bringing back Carter to bring stability to the point guard position.

“We knew one thing about him after bringing (Lin) in,” said Bryan Colangelo. “We knew he was one tough kid.

“He took one of the hardest hits I’ve ever seen on a court and one of the toughest falls. He got hit from behind, crashed to the floor, eventually got up. We didn’t think he’d get up, to be honest. And he shook it off and continued the workout.

“We were extremely impressed by that."

I've never seen a guy get blocked so much when fading in the post.

Fat man who can't jump shouldn't fade. Bullock in you dick!
