[quote="Contract Season"][/quote]
I don't see how a hug is an interesting note unless it serves to shut all those up that think there's a rift between Jose and TJ.
Just the way the reporters asked TJ and Jose (at least twice each) about the hug, the headline was predictable, but so pointless on a night when there was so much more going on. A coach/GM of Riley's stature saying the Raps put on a basketball clinic is newsworthy. Dwayne Wade talking about the erosion of a positive attitude in the lockerroom is newsworthy. TJ Ford stepping onto the court for the first time since Dec.11 is newsworthy. But how Calderon greets him as he's subbed off? Again, hardly newsworthy as they're trying to emphasize an idea which is moot in the first place.
The reporters questioned TJ and Jose as if they've never seen two guys in game hug before, to which I respond by saying watch a soccer game.
