    Thabo hears call, defends Wade

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">he tattoo on Thabo Sefolosha's left shoulder shows a basketball with a crown on top, along with the phrase: "The game chose me."

    The Chicago Bulls rookie answered its call Saturday, containing Dwyane Wade and helping the Chicago Bulls beat the Miami Heat 96-91 in Game 1 of their first-round series.

    Kirk Hinrich, who usually defends Wade well, was in foul trouble. So the Bulls turned to the 6-foot-7 Sefolosha.

    And on Sunday, he found himself answering a wide variety of questions, ranging from his performance against Wade to his background in Switzerland. And, of course, that tattoo.

    "I'm from Switzerland and basketball is so small there," said Sefolosha, whose father is South African and mother is French. "My parents didn't play basketball. Why basketball? I don't know. But the game chose me." </div>

    Good piece on the 'other' rookie.

    Thabo Sefolosha really made a name for himself in game one yesterday. His impact in that game reminded me of Tayshaun Prince a few years back. If he develops into the same type of player as Prince has these past few years, we will be in pretty good shape. I don't want to get too ahead of myself though, we still need to get three more wins.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Hinrich fired his mouthpiece into the stands after picking up his fourth foul early in the third quarter and got a technical, but the mood at the Bulls' practice facility was lighter a day later.

    As Hinrich stood near a basket on the far side of the gym, away from the media, Skiles grinned and barked out an order.

    "Kirk, you gotta face the music, man!" he yelled. "They ain't going anywhere!" </div>

    This was funny to me. great read
