Savor it, Warrior fans, there's no telling when another Warrior will even get near Hall Of Fame induction. 'Specially Tim Hardaway after his homophobic outburst on the radio this week. Hardaway's opinions are as ugly as his shot trajectory used to be. Sigh; at least his shots had positive impact. The RUN TMC in-the-news trifecta is now in play...

--The Sharks got blanked by Columbus, 3-0 on Friday night. What's going on with the offense, guys? Holy crap, the Sharks haven't been shut out back-to-back in eight years.
