Quick Thoughts

July 10, 2011 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

1.    Labor Crap: One of the more entertaining seasons in recent memory is over and we are left with a nasty hangover in the form of a likely prolonged labor dispute.  There already has been a lot of great stuff written about the dispute and the issues seem to have been well identified. Still, we will take our shot and see if we break any new or different ground.  It is complicated negotiation but let's boil it down to its essence anyway:  the NBA states that most of its teams are … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

NBA Finals Recap

June 16, 2011 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

Well, the NBA Finals have come and gone.  In between, we were left with a lot of fun and lots to examine.  I thought we could conduct a Finals post-mortem to pick up on some of the issues that were discussed and give our two cents and to identify some things that no one else has really discussed.  So, here's goes: -2010-11 Miami Heat, Most Hated Team Ever?: Unlike any team in recent memory, the Heat really were fun to root against.  They didn't embrace the traditional gritty … [Read more...] about NBA Finals Recap

NBA Finals Preview

May 30, 2011 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

1.    Finals Preview: It's been a long road this year to the Finals and there have been quite a few twists and turns that were unexpected (notably the fact that the Lakers aren't here).  Still, after all the happenings, the Heat are in the Finals and are prohibitive favorites (as most expected last FAll) and we have a very fun Finals match up with the Mavs, who are far from pushovers.  Aside from the actual games, there are tons of questions being raised.  Let's take a look at the major … [Read more...] about NBA Finals Preview

Second Round Fallout

May 16, 2011 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

Round Two is over and this leaves four teams with time to assess what happened in the playoffs and what might happen next year.  The most notable elininations are last year's NBA finalists in Boston and L.A.  Meanwhile, in Memphis and Atlanta we have to decide how real these teams really are going forward.  Let's take a look: 1.  Boston Celtics: Assessing the Celtics' last few years really depends on whether you are an optimist of pessimist.  Here's how the KG Era has … [Read more...] about Second Round Fallout

First Round Fallout (Western Conference)

May 6, 2011 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

Continuing our first round fall out column, we turn today to the Western Conference... 1.    San Antonio Spurs: That definitely smarts.  The Spurs managed a last gasp heroic regular season only to be beaten soundly in the playoffs.  The loss to the Grizz wasn't just a random upset either.  It took about half of one game to realize that Memphis was at least the equal of the Spurs talent-wise.  The real pain though was watching Tim Duncan, who just isn't the player he was.  TD is still … [Read more...] about First Round Fallout (Western Conference)

We are now into the nitty gritty of the post season...Round Two.  Before we consider some pretty interesting battles , some of the fun is to look back at the teams that were left behind and we can look to see where their playoff losses leave them.  This our annual First Round Fallout column.  And there is quite a bit of fallout in a few places, particularly San Antonio and Orlando.  Let's take a look at the losers in the East... 1.    Indiana Pacers: The Pacers played a pretty … [Read more...] about First Round Fallout (Eastern Conference)
