Yes, it probably deserves a rating on the Dull Negro Meter, but Vinny said something about Hinrich after the game that I was saying during…
“He’s a pro”.

Kirk did a terrific job last night. He played a lot of minutes and kept the turnovers to a minimum (in fact, I even mentally removed a turnover from his stats since one of them was at the end of the game when he looked dead-tired). We haven’t heard an ounce of complaining from his either.
Pro.

The one thing I have noticed with Charles and Kenny in the studio on TNT is that they love basketball, but many of their takes are more on what was happening two to three years ago, and they just keep those takes and freshen them up a little bit. It is one reason why I much prefer the NBA TV guys, as I think they are more commenting on what is happening on the floor today, than using their biases from the past in commenting on today.

Since I am recovering from a cold, I didn’t head out to the United Center last night for the game, so I had to watch it on TNT. Was it just me, or did it seem like Marv, Reggie, and the Czar just not want to be there? I think I remember at one point in the game the Czar telling Marv and Reggie to pay attention to the game on the court because it was a big game for the teams, and then Reggie made a comment like “you couldn’t tell based on how people trickled in during the first quarter”. I guess Reggie didn’t know that Bulls fans are used to a 7:30 start at home on weeknights.
