Outlook
- Tony Parker is out, according to Timothy Varner of 48 Minutes of Hell.
- Of course, Antonio McDyess is returning to The Palace. I hope he gets a nice ovation when he checks in.
- I’m looking forward to the Jonas Jerebko-Richard Jefferson matchup.
- If Tim Duncan doesn’t destroy the Pistons inside, they’ll have a chance, but probably lose. If he’s a beast inside, they have no chance.
- Varner is at The Palace and participating in Daily Dime Live, so check it out.
