I think any person on the street would have done the same thing, ... I just learned that if somebody from the stands throws something at you, don't do anything back or you'll get suspended.

Has Bruce been playing good defense? I haven't really checked him out. Of course, he's a good defender, but I don't really know who's stopping this year.

I'm out of shape right now. I've been working out at my gym at home, but it's not the same as playing in an NBA game. It's going to take me about a month after I get traded for me to get back into basketball shape.

crunch fall figure shy
I figure I have to do something else now. Rebound, play defense, get some assists. I'm going to take shots, but they are going to fall in crunch time. They may not fall as much as they used to, but they are going to fall, so I'm not going to be shy about shooting.
