How is Shabazz/Dieng any worse than Shved/Cunningham? :why:

I thought Dieng and Shabazz were the biggest steals at their position, particularly Dieng. Looked like a big presence on the block inside.

Haven't watched them this year. How are they?

My guess - Adelman doesn't let them play/

1st Round Playoff Exits

3 reasons.

1. the bench or lack thereof

2. Rick's coaching is more erratic by the game.

3. Have you seen the schedule we've had so far? Probably the toughest in the league given back to backs, travel, opponents. They flew all the way to Mexico City for a "home game" against the Spurs that they didn't even play.

1.Yall have Shabazz, Brewer, and Chase; is dante cunningham supposed to be a back-up center?

2. I need too see a few more games before I rule on this, but I liked the offensive plays yall ran as well disciplined the players were on fastbreaks
3. I'll take a look at it in a bit, but Portland's schedule is no breeze either. Heck coming up it's NO(can be hard contested team) then LAC, MIA,
NO(again) and the Thunder(back to back, away games)

Arrested fugitive married to Jalen Rose's brother

A woman who eluded Texas authorities for nearly four decades and who was arrested this week in Michigan is former basketball star Jalen Rose's sister-in-law.

The former Indiana Pacers and Michigan Wolverines star confirmed that Kathlyn Regina Huff is married to his brother, Kevin Rose, The Detroit News reported. Authorities say she evaded capture by leaving San Antonio, getting married and changing her name to Kathlyn Regenia Rose.

U.S. Marshals arrested the 58-year-old Huff on Wednesday outside her suburban Detroit home in Farmington Hills. Authorities say she was indicted in 1977 by a grand jury in Bexar County, Texas, on attempted murder charges. She's accused of shooting her common-law husband, who survived.

Huff is jailed in Oakland County and faces extradition. Jalen Rose told the newspaper that he will pay for her lawyer. The Associated Press left a message for Rose.

Chris Bozeman, U.S. Marshals spokesman in San Antonio, said the case was referred to the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force Cold Case Squad by both San Antonio police and the Bexar County Sheriff's Office. Marshals first tracked Huff to Seattle and then to Farmington Hills, where they found her parking her car in her driveway.

Bozeman said the marshals have no information to suggest any of her immediate family knew about the San Antonio warrant or tried to hide her. He also said that Jalen Rose's name did not come up during the investigation.

Marshals did interview her ex-husband, the alleged victim in this case. Bozeman declined to identify the ex-husband.

Woman Caught After 36 Years On The Run, Feds Say
A Texas woman on the run since 1977 from attempted murder allegations was arrested this week nearly 1,500 miles away in Michigan.

Kathlyn Regina Huff, 58, was arrested on Tuesday in Farmington Hills, Mich., a Detroit suburb, more than 36 years after she was indicted in San Antonio, Texas, for allegedly shooting her common-law husband in the head, according to authorities.

Authorities took Huff into custody without incident, they said, in what one neighbor called a sleepy, country neighborhood.

"It's a shocker because if it's been that long, if she's been around that long, I'm quite surprised," Patricia Kaye, who lives about a block and a half away from Huff's home, told ABC News. "It's a very quiet neighborhood. We don't have any odd happenings that go on around here."

Huff, who changed her name to Kathlyn Regenia Rose after marrying, most likely fled San Antonio between when she allegedly attempted murder in 1976 and the time of her indictment in 1977, Bozeman said. U.S. Marshals in Texas determined that she made her way to Seattle before settling in southeastern Michigan, he said.

"The Lone Star Fugitive Task Force out of Texas requested that we apprehend her," U.S. Marshals Deputy Robert Watson, of the Eastern District of Michigan, Detroit, told ABC News. "They developed information that she was in the Farmington Hills area."

The U.S. Marshals are not investigating any of Huff's relatives or friends, Bozeman said. "No information has been brought to our attention that anyone had any knowledge that she was a fugitive on the run," he said.

Her arrest came just months after U.S. Marshals in Texas established a task force to turn up the heat on cold cases, Deputy U.S. Marshal Chris Bozeman told ABC News today. It was the oldest case the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force's cold case unit had taken on so far, and contained particularly serious allegations, according to Bozeman.

"When you tack on the number of years that this person has been on the run, that of course adds more to it," Bozeman said.

Members of the Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team, which consists of members the U.S. Marshals and a host of other local, state and federal authorities, took Huff into custody after watching her arrive home, approaching her and identifying themselves, according to the U.S. Marshals.

Huff was indicted by a grand jury in Bexar County, Texas, in September 1977, for allegedly shooting her common-law husband in the head during a heated argument the year before, according to the U.S. Marshals.

She is being held at the Oakland County Jail, in Pontiac, Mich., and according to U.S. Marshals, is awaiting extradition to Texas. She has yet to have a hearing and does not have an attorney, according to staff at the Oakland County Circuit Court and the Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds' office. A date for a hearing has not been set, according to the court.

A message left at a number listed for Huff was not returned.

Richard Dumas charged with theft
Updated: December 20, 2013, 4:29 PM ET
Associated Press
PHOENIX -- Former Phoenix Suns player Richard Dumas was among 151 people arrested in a pre-holiday roundup of theft suspects sought in multiple cases in Arizona.

The U.S. Marshals Service says Dumas was arrested Thursday in Litchfield Park on a warrant charging him with eight counts of organized retail theft.

Marshals Service spokesman Frederick Freeman said Dumas was charged in a Maricopa County indictment stemming from a Glendale Police Department investigation.

Dumas, 44, was arrested on suspicion of eight counts of organized retail theft, totaling just under $800, from the Luke Air Force Base's exchange store while working with a janitorial service, according to authorities.

Glendale police said Dumas was seen on surveillance cameras in the exchange store in September and October 2012 taking items, including cigarettes, alcohol, food items, DVDs and shoes.

They turned the case over to the county attorney's office in February 2013.

Dumas was booked into a county jail late Thursday but was out Friday after posting $7,500 bond. He has a Dec. 26 arraignment and it wasn't immediately known if he has a lawyer.

Dumas played for the Suns from 1992 to 1995 and helped Phoenix reach the NBA Finals in 1993. He was waived by the Suns in 1995 after he missed drug testing.

The Marshals Service said the roundup was conducted Tuesday through Thursday by multiple agencies in the Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma and Flagstaff areas.
