Great. Or not.

The timing may work in our favor. I think we can handle a team like Philly without one of our core rotations guys.

Let’s hope Thomas is back tomorrow with a level head.

Currently researching for a way to trade rosterbation threads to another team's blog site while receiving maximum value in return.

I felt bad watching Okafor go down like that.

That looked like it would’ve broke my jaw. I always like Oak though and hope he can avoid anything else like that. As for Tyrus, it was good to see him be at least somewhat apologetic after it happened. He’s got to keep his head on straight though. That play probably costs us the game.

It cost us the game and will impact tonight's game as well.

I agree we may be able to handle Philly without him, but we shouldn’t play ANY game – especially on the road – minus one of our regulars because of foolishness.

Okafor took a bit of a dive imo but that doesn’t matter. If he’d been a half-inch closer to Tyrus it would have likely resulted in a serious injury to the jaw or nose. I had a feeling this was going to result in a suspension and he and the team are fortunate it was only for one game. We’re notice his absence in Philly, but the impact would have been far greater if we had to roll into the Windy City tomorrow to face a revenge-minded Bulls team.

P.S. - Is it an interim fling or a permanent bromance?
