Arrived in Houston, Texas at 6:30PM Central time and once I dropped off my bags it was off to a sports establishment to catch the Bulls Wednesday night opponent, the New Orleans Hornets.

Chris Paul was incredible assisiting on the Hornets opening seven baskets and 9 of the first 11 buckets. He is so good, he is worth the price of admission. He left in the third quarter with an apparent groin issue. The Hornets had a major meltdown in the fourth quarter as Portland outscored the Hornets 38-15 in the fourth quarter.

Firt things first however as the Bulls will have to handle Yao Ming, Ron Artest and, in all probability, Tracy McGrady. The Rockets are 29-19 and like to score in the paint.

I saw Kobe drop 81 against the Raps three years ago. It was the most amazing feat I have ever personally seen. Last night he torched the Knicks for 61 at MSG. That's a Garden record. The Lakers lost Andrew Bynum for 8-12 weeks with a torn MCL… not good.

I feel badly for Jameer Nelson. He makes his first All-Star game and is scheduled to participate in the skills competition with Derrick Rose among others and goes down with a dislocated right shoulder during Orlando's loss to the Mavs.

Phoenix by 48 over thge Kings… where's Bill Wennington with a HELLO!!!

Utah turned back the Bobcats.

Memphis got 33 from O.J. Mayo and ripped the Wiz.

Clippers should just go straight to the lottery and take the rest of the season off. Miami with an easy win.

Do we really need Dick Vitale to campaign for Bobby Knight to get the Georgia job? Please, Dickie V. give me a break!

According to published reports the Dodgers have offered Manny a one year 25 million dollar deal. My advice… TAKE IT!!!

Got to run. E-mail me at cswirsky@bulls.com

Always a pleasure.
