-Apparently Dwight Howard is not the only player thinking of skipping the Slam Dunk Contest in February. Rudy Gay is thinking of skipping the fun in Phoenix now.
-Era of impatience continues. Eddie Jordan and Sam Mitchell were both coach of the year candidates last year. Now they are both jobless. Jordan's Wizards got off to a bad start. But Mitchell's Raptors were a respectable 8-9 when he was fired. I don't know what Toronto expected when they acquired Jermaine O'Neal, but he is far from the healthy all star he was in Indiana three or four years ago. This one is on Bryan Colangelo, not Mitchell. 82 games is a long time.
-Sad stories about injuries to some 1990s NBA players. Wayman Tisdale's is an inspirational story. And everyone remembers Rodney Rodgers from his days with the Nets.
-Power Rankings Check: the Magic's injuries have slowed down the party train. They are up to six in ESPN.com, No. 9 by John Hollinger's count (does not know injuries exist). And NBA.com thinks Orlando is No. 4. Of course that was before the loss to Boston.
