CJ will be back in Utah this morning in order to get surgery on his thumb. When Kirk Hinrich (th @lockedonsports)had a similar issue, he was out for 31 games. I took a look at his stats, expecting a drop-off, but he was actually about the same when he came back. Of course Derrick Freakin' Rose had taken his spot, but he played about the same.
It still sucks to see someone that had apparently worked so hard in the off-season to miss the first 2-3 months of the season.
You've now doubt you've seen this pic by now (BDL and TBJ have it up as well). Thanks to Michael from Hill and Knowlton for the pic,
Could tonight's game turn into a Rocky IV type affair? Everyone will no doubt be rooting for the Bulls because of Deng (I always, always have to say that in a Napoleon Dynamite voice, at least in my head), but could we see the tide shift to Utah later in the game?
"Utah! Utah! Utah! Utah!"
We have Drago on our team, so the parallel isn't too far off. I guess he plays for the wrong team in this scenario. Okay, so scratch that.
So AK, D-Will, and Korver go out on the town and don't get hassled by anyone, but Boozer is signing 30 autographs and taking pictures? Did he and his sister eat at a Nike town restaurant? Was she wearing a sandwich board to tell people who he was? Weird.
I got nothing today. Game thread starts at 12:30 MDT. It will be available on NBA tv. Enjoy.

1. seriously, i feel so bad for cj. like you mentioned, he worked so hard over the summer, and he also wanted to see the sites in europe so bad. was hinrich’s injury also on his shooting hand?
4. yes that story is fishy. very fishy. it must’ve been his sister’s room and dormmates or something.

4. Boozer talking himself up again? Maybe running a clinic in London or looking to get traded to a local team maybe?
5. I actually get to watch this game live on tv for once, even though I have to wake up at 4-30am. Worth it?……….Hell Yes!!

It's on later tonight as well (7 pm Central I think)
And I think they’re rerunning it a couple of times over the next few days, too.
In honor of the dearly departed, I declare July PB&J month - everyone raise a sandwich to the memory of Ben!
