Green Thoughts

• Just when I thought Andrei Kirilenko's hair couldn't be worse than the spiked oddity he's had for the good part of his NBA career. He shows up tonight looking like a blonde cross between Adrian from Rocky and Tony Danza in his Who's The Boss hayday.
• Glen Davis leads the NBA in charges taken and has really elevated his game to a higher level. It's to the point now I think he could start at the 4 for most NBA teams.
• Deron had a rough night. He was the victim of a few rough calls early on and struggled to find a rhythm. I've been a big Deron fan since he came in the league and this was the worst game I remember him having.
• Why did Gordon Haywood leave school early? He played two years at Butler and was one of the great stories in college basketball in the past 20 years.  He could have been a superstar this year in college but instead he's riding the pine for the Jazz. Good Choice!
• Are the Jazz the whitest team in the NBA and is that by design?
• Paul Pierce is 4th on the Celtics all-time games played list and is rapidly approaching Robert Parrish at #3. Not bad this day in age where guys switch teams like I change underwear..... once every two years.
• Does Marques Daniels ever smile? But I guess I'm asking a lot for a guy with this tattoo.
• Great meaningless dunk at the end of the game tonight by Von Wafer. Guy has ups....
• Did KG look gimpy in his lateral movement tonight or am I just paranoid? He had a good game so I'm paranoid....I hope 
• Tommy I know Al Jefferson has all the low post moves blah-blah-blah. He's also out of shape, plays terrible defense, and admittedly has struggled to pick up Jerry Sloans offense.
• Speaking of Jerry Sloan there have been 430 or so coaching changes since he began coaching the Jazz. He's a very good coach don't get me wrong but is that a product of the city he coaches in or his ability?
• Celtics went 5-1 on the homestand.....Impressive
• Al Jefferson was 1-11 from the floor...yuck
• Is it me or does Kyrylo Fesenko remind anyone of the Lurch from Celtic Pride....give me the rock coach I got the Bad Crap....BTW Shooter Mcgavin from Happy Gilmore was the Jazz coach in that movie.
• Semih Erden has been the biggest surprise thus far this year. He's  also helping prove my theory that the 2008 draft was a very very good one. The big Turk was the last pick!
• Let's hope Shaq is OK and Perk gets back soon. Funny how those silly "where does Perk fit when he comes back" questions work themselves out.
• and in closing does Rondo look strange to you without a headband? Just saying....BTW he had another great game.
• I wasn't very funny today so here's a weird Finnish guy eating licorice
