We’re taking the holiday off to open presents, over eat, and obviously, drink heavily. We’ll be back in limited action Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Just a couple of links in case the parents drive you away from the NBA games and to the computer: print media is always about six months behind on the trend pieces, but if you’ve been reading this site, you’re well aware that ESPN poached newspapers incessantly in 2007. But hey, the Wall Street Journal and New York Times are on top of things!

Also, happy holidays, Scott Skiles! Surely, now that the Bulls coach has been fired, Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich will shoot better than 38 percent from the field!

Lastly, this is absolutely hysterical. We were not all that impressed with our score.
