Byron Scott is an idiot....he let go one of my favorite Hornets and and future NBA superstar
One of the tiny little overlooked deals of the offseason was the shuttling of JR Smith from the Hornets to the Bulls, who immediately reshuttled him to the shooting guard starved Denver Nuggets for a second round pick or something.
The two teams met up to play a basketball game last night, and JR, who’s assumed the role of “starter” for DEN, let the Bulls know a thing or two about what happens when you rashly shuttle someone around like that.
Yep, he put up 36 points and served the Bulls their 5th straight loss.
Denver coach George Karl can’t help but be complimentary and insulting to the young player he got essentially for free.
‘’Sixty percent pretty happy, 40 percent drives me crazy,'’ Karl said. ‘’That’s pretty good for me. Usually, I’m 90-10. J.R.’s been very good for us. He’s shot the three well and has had some good defensive games. Then he’s had some nights where you don’t know he’s in the building.'’
Common knowledge says there was no spot in CHI’s rotation for JR, but he (or Ben Gordon) sure would be a nice piece of trade bait right now. Plenty of teams are on the lookout for inconsistantly explosive shooting guards.
Anyway, the thrust here is not that game - no, we must now turn to the Central Division as a whole. (Current NBA standing are here.)
Largely assumed to be the strongest in the NBA before the season started, thanks to the Bulls hot start, the Central now plays host to two separate 3-8 teams - CHI being one, the Milwaukee Bucks being the second.
In the meantime, the play-to-the-level-of-your-opponent Cavaliers have managed to come up 8-3, two games ahead of the Pistons and Pacers, who are one game above .500 each. We imagine they stay around there for the duration. Thus, we cannot call this the strongest division at this time.
No, that would be either the Pacific, where the Warriors sit at 7-4.
WAIT.
When the crap did that happen??? Shit ain’t right, yo. Seven and four? Five plus two and three plus one? Six times one plus one and negative seven plus eleven?
Impossible - either the NBA is messing with us just missed this behind the blinding glare of the 10-1 Jazz. At least the Atlantic still blows as bad as ever - all we ask for is a little consistency…and things being the same on a continual basis.
NOTE: At least the stats are straight this year so far. It’s not like Leandro Barbosa is leading the PHX Suns in scoring or something.
NOTE 2: Ben Wallace!
