Quick Thoughts

1. Team USA Is A-Coming:    With the Olympics has approaching, we find ourselves again watching another Team USA take a shot at the gold, that has eluded them to varying degrees since 2000.  When we examine this issue, we are quick to point out a few things.  The idea that the United States hasn't won the gold isn't some sort of silly national shame.  Rather, the world has improved, the rules of international basketball (shorter court, three point line, and length of game) encourage upsets, and … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

Boston Celtics  7/16    Sign Patrick O'Bryant  O'Bryant was predictably a washout for Don Nelson's small man offense.  In fact, he barely played in Golden State in two years but did block a lot of shots.  His 2007-08 NBDL stats are also pretty good (16.8 ppg, 10 rpg, 3.5 bpg, 21.0 PER).  Given the fact that he's still very young and not without talent, O'Bryant is still worth taking a flier on. … [Read more...] about Transactions 7/9-7/17

1.    Some Summer League Fun:  Here we are nearing the dead zone of the NBA year.  Most of the major NBA free agents are taken care and a few trades may pop up in August and September and the Olympics won't be coming until that time either.  The only games right now are those wacky summer league games.  I thought I'd go through and throw out some fun names that we haven't seen for a while: … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

Atlanta Hawks  5/28    Name Rick Sund general manager 6/17    Sign coach Mike Woodson to contract extension  Atlanta has been a weird a dysfunctional organization for a while now.  How does Mike Woodson survive but GM Billy Knight get the axe?  One would think that Knight and Woodson, having been together for so long, were tied to the same train.  Actually, Knight apparently made several appeals to ownership to can Woodson during the season.  Knight was ignored and Woodson led the Hawks … [Read more...] about Transactions 5/17-7/9

1.    Champs and D:    We've taken a step back from the season thanks to Ed Weiland's excellent draft coverage but now it's time to take a quick look back at the Celtics' run.  In the end, the Celtics excellent defense coupled with the inability of the Lakers to match up with Paul Pierce gave Boston another banner.  Indeed, the Celts' were the best defensive this year (number one in points allowed per minute), but this serves as a nice jumping off point to test the old adage that "defense wins … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

NBA Draft 2008: Grades

June 28, 2008 by Ed Weiland Leave a Comment

The 2008 draft is a tough one to grade. I had 3 players, Rose, Beasley and Love, head and shoulders above the rest. I felt after the top 3, there were 15-20 players who could have been shaken up and drawn in any order and it wouldn’t have surprised me much. Because the pool of talent from 4-25 was so deep and evenly matched, there were many varied opinions on this draft. I’m guessing there will be more busts than normal and more round 2 and free agent surprises than normal. … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2008: Grades
