Anthony Tolliver just inadvertently elbowed Ricky, who needs stitches.

Aaaaannnnd now Tolliver has broken Kevin Love's hand.

Tolliver is becoming a sorta stretched tight Bruce Bowen.
Love it (no Kevin pun intended).

Isn't this like the third or fourth time Love has broken his hand?! I've never heard of that happening to any other athlete.

Broke his right hand twice with the knuckle pushups thing. Ruined what could have been a great season with a cool roster.

Man, a lot of Bulls fans are unfairly ripping in to Lavine. I think he's been as good as you could hope for given he just returned from an ACL tear. I guess it's harder for some fans because it's the first they've really had to analyze their game.

Look, Lavine is a nice kid and deserves the best but let's face it, Lavine is good in the right role (probably as 6th man). Making him the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd option in your team means that team is tanking hard.

And this opinion is the same of now like it was before he got injured, he's a scorer, period, you're not getting anything more than that from him.

He's Kevin Martin 2.0, a good scorer thay has very little impact in the game. And i don't see that changing much. I hope i'm wrong.

No way, Zach is a super stud. He was already a starting caliber player at age 21. When Jimmy was the age Zach was last year he was still at Marquette. He has tons of time to grow.

You could say the same thing about someone like Devin Booker as well. They're scorers, but they're elite ones. And what I like about Lavine is his game is really streamlined - you don't see many guys with his volume that score with so few dribbles. He's not a ball stopping iso type guy so much.

He's also rebounding the heck out of the ball and making some nice passes. His on-ball defense is good, his off-ball defense is really, really bad.

LaVine is a scorer yes, but the kind of scorer who has lead the league in scoring type talent.

Ricky with a career high 34 in a win over the Spurs, which means we win too since we're closer to the 3rd seed

Ricky might be the Western Conference Player of the Week. 24 points 9.6 assists 4.7 rebounds 64% FG 70% 3 pt % with wins over Golden State and @San Antonio. His game winner @Toronto was technically last week.

Either Rubio plays well or Rubio struggles it hurts me so much.

These are the games that make me feel sad for what Ricky could have been in Minnesota. THAT Ricky is a superstar.
