Funk is a good play-by-play guy, I guess, but is irritating when he screws up three names per game, and tends to spout incorrect opinions about fouls. But in general he's a pretty good foil for King.
Gimme the hot sauce baby!
My son met him - went up after a game to get a picture. He was a little nervous because he was worried that if he was a dick in real life it would ruin the listening experience. Stacey took the time to get a picture, and my son actually had to wait because he was just talking to some random guy about Omar Asik for a few minutes. Nice guy he said.

Any word on how his ankle is holding up? I was in Chicago this weekend and my family up there are big Bulls fans, so I watched the game with them. That was a pretty nasty ankle roll.
He's day-to-day which means he'll play, but on a team with one option and that option relies on making crazy cuts and lightning quick explosive jumps and accelerations in the lane to score and draw fouls, it's potentially devastating.
I don't know the extent of his injury, but reports were he was in a walking boot. MRI was negative - whatever that means. Hopefully he really has a Grade I sprain (no tearing).
I would be very tempted with a 3-1 lead to consider holding him out of the game Tuesday. Give the ankle more rest. Worst case is he boogers it up again in the 1st qtr really badly, and then you don't have him for the rest of the playoffs.

I'm fully on board with at the very least letting him dress but keeping him on the bench if possible. CJ Watson should be able to lead them to a win at home against the Pacers.
