Occupational hazards
Just wanted to share a story from this morning's shootaround. As we were talking to Jerry Sloan in one corner of the floor, I got absolutely drilled in the back of a the head by a ball of the rim. With my back to the basket, I never saw it coming.
Of course, none of the players yelled, "Head's up." About a half second after it happened, Deron Williams started cackling. As I was trying to collect myself, I could hear Williams in the background saying, "That's what happens when Ronnie's shooting."
Serves me right for writing about how good Ronnie Brewer's shot looked at Saturday's scrimmage, when he hit 8 of 10 shots including two three-pointers and two other long jumpers. Two Excedrins later, I'm feeling a lot better this afternoon.
