Random Tidbits and Notes

If John Henson developed more consistency he could be Larry Sanders v2.0…Considering it’s the most important year of his basketball life, let’s hope Carmelo Anthony recovers quickly…They could do a Geico commercial about how happy Gerald Green must be jacking up threes…I appreciate Xavier Henry getting to the free-throw line 14 times, but if you’re a guard, you had better make more than 50 percent.
