Wade plays more defense than I ever remember Chuck playing, though.

Draw your own conclusions about what Sir Charles said which was "Any team whose toughest player is a kicker ain't going to win a NBA championship"

I was joking about Wade.

Jackson also talked openly about Parker, who flamed out in his second season with the Lakers and signed a two-year, $4.7-million contract with Miami before this season. He played only nine games before being suspended indefinitely in November after an alleged altercation with a valet-parking attendant.

"I had hopes for Smush in my exit meeting with him last year, talked to him about trying to get himself motivated in a way that might be different than what he'd done in the past," Jackson said. "I just don't know what went wrong. I haven't stayed close enough to that situation.

"But Smush can get on the backside of an issue and make it worse, unfortunately. He was the kind of kid that if he got a bad call in a game, he might let it affect him for two minutes and then get a technical two minutes later because it would kind of burn, ignite and the ember wouldn't go away."

Oh Smush...

I never understood the big deal about this kid anyway. We knew when he came to Detroit that he had a screw loose. He should be happy he got that Miami contract.

Darko's damn lucky he has another two years on that contract. If it were up this summer he might very well be out of the league.

He is looking mighty sucky indeed. Total mental collapse.

It is crazy to think that he is still young enough to be right out of college.

Primo just scored 11 on 5-for-5 shooting against the Knicks.

How's it gonna be when the Celtics pick up Flip Murray?

If they do that, he'll probably get playing time with them as the backup point guard. Also, there is the possibility that he could win the starting spot (?) or maybe get there through injury of Rondo.

I know he didn't fit with us, but he's dangerous and it would suck if he improved Bos.

Flip's got a career playoff average of 32%. If Boston wants to play him over Eddie House or Rondo, more power to them.

He can drive though. With KG, Pierce, and Allen out there, I think he could be effective.

There must be some reason Boston is interested.

He can get to the rim against very small guards and ones who didn't pay enough attention to the line in the scouting report that says PLAY TEN FEET OFF OF HIM AT ALL TIMES.

He could be effective in Boston if he's willing to move without the ball, which he wasn't when he was here. But even if he does, I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
