Does Dallas lack a killer instinct? Dirk says kinda sorta. Why was Jason Terry all stopped up? PLUS, which Bulls player shot Derek the devil eyes?
Check out my latest video blog for the answers to all those questions and more!
One Addendum:
Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said after the game that Jason Kidd asked to sit out at the start of the fourth quarter because his knees were sore. Kidd after the game that it wasn't an issue, the game was in hand and that he wanted to "let the other guys play". The Bulls did get to within seven, so the game wasn't quite that in control.
Ok, there's a disconnect.
Simple miscommunication? Perhaps. The real story might lie somewhere in between. Right now, I'm not losing sleep over it.
OH! One more from the RANDOM department:
Former Nets coach Lawrence Frank was at the game. He came up to Harp after the game to say hello. Remember New Jersey fired him in November? He said life is great right now. He's being paid to hang. Nice.
I happened to see him sit down in the stands during the pregame show and I was like "is that Lawrence Frank?!?!?". He's all of 5'7 so he's kind of hard to pick out of a crowd.
Why in the hell I kind of know him is because he was an assistant coach at the University of Tennessee under Kevin O'Neill when I covered the Vols. MAN, could I tell you some stories (about O'Neill, not Frank). They would all involved some serious curse words and questionable behavior.
Anyway, Frank doesn't remember me at all and has no clue who I am because I was as low-level and spare as they come. That being said I never, ever felt comfortable around that Tennessee coaching staff. Just saying.
And To End on a Positive Note:
Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro couldn't have been nicer. He came up to say hello to Derek (which almost everyone does - players & coaches LOVE him). Del Negro has had a tough few months and admitted as much. He was so nice to introduce himself to me and say hello. Just saying.
