Random News Shit: NBA Back To Business Edition

Some news and notes around the Association last night.

1) McGrady Will Miss Remainder Of Season
T-Mac will have micro-fracture surgery on his knee and miss the rest of the season. I'm shocked! Welp, so much for those "McGracy to Nets for Vince Carter" trade talks. I wrote something in late '07 suggesting maybe it was time for Tracy to call it a career. I think he ought to at least be considering it.

2) Shaq's shoe makes big impression on President Obama
I wonder what Mr. Pres is gonna do with that big ass shoe?? lol.

3) Suns score 140 as in Gentry's debut
And that includes a season-high 81 in the first half. Just like that, are the old D'Antoni, run and gun Suns back?? It was against the Clippers, but still, 140 is quite impressive. I feel bad for Terry Porter, but I think this really just emphasizes how bad a job Steve Kerr has really done as GM seeing he is the one who canned D'Antoni. If the Suns wanna turn this thing around, they need to get rid of Kerr.

4) Howard scores career-high 45 in win over Bobcats
A man sized stat line for Dwight Howard last night! How does 45 points, 19 boards, and 8 blocks sound?? Grown man stats right there.

5) Hornets overcome Durant's career-high 47, nip Thunder
One last time, why wasn't he playing Sunday again??
