My friend Alan Warms pinged me when his Chicago Bulls trounced the Suns last night to see if I was at the game. I told him quite honestly that no Nash, no Lindzon.

We also are without Boris Diaw and Kurt Thomas. The regular season is a joke. It’s too long and it’s almost worth resting Nash for 10 games. We have a 10 game lead on the Lakers.

That said, I think last night’s game previewed the NBA finals. I made this prediction in the first week of the season and see no reason to change.
