Friday Morning NBA Notes

First things first, congrats to Wade and the rest of the Wake nation, and to Lauren and the rest of the UConn faithful--Wake Forest (Duncan and Paul) and UConn (Butler and Hamilton) feature 2 "alums" each on this year's NBA all-star team (Duncan being the only "alum" in the "graduated from the school" sense of the word.

In other news: JJ Redick contemplates trade, is told to sit quietly and wait his turn. Or, you know, stop sucking so much at "defense" and "being atheletic". Makes you wonder...do we have another Trajan Langdon situation on our hands here, or will JJ be able to find a productive niche in the league? Time will tell...but hey, at least there's poetry to fall back on, right JJ?

And finally, this is a bit outdated--but I never got around to giving Schindler crap about Mighty, Mighty Mike Dunleavey going off against the Warriors a few weeks back. Sure, the Pacers and Warriors split their home and home (the home team winning both games). And sure, the Pacers kinda really suck. But Dun-Dun played well in both games against the Warriors--21 pts, 4.5 ast, 9.5 rbs--and there was some small satisfaction in that.
