The Golden State Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies tonight to win their 73rd game this season. They broke a long held record by the 1996 Chicago Bulls that included the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan. Lots of people talk about these Warriors... "They won the title last year because the teams they played in the playoffs were all injury plagued..." or "Well if Curry played back in Jordan's day... blah blah blah..." The fact is that 73 wins in a season is amazing and the only ones that seem like they may be able to do it again in the not so distant future are.... the Warriors.

After having both of his knees blown up and repaired, after all of the rehabilitation, after all of the nay sayers saying he is done.... Derrick Rose is back! Rose is attacking the lane fearlessly, actually hitting three pointers and has supporting players around him! The Bulls may actually threaten the Hawks and Cavaliers for the Eastern Conference title. 34 points, 8 assists and 3 steals per game... Watch out LeBron.

It was another "cold" rainy "winter" day here in Tucson. I have to add the quotation marks when I use those words or I will hear it from all of the folks out there that are actually suffering through winter with real cold weather. The fact of the matter is that it was a beautiful day where we got much needed rain!
