NBA Draft 2007: Centers

June 20, 2007 by Ed Weiland Leave a Comment

A few months ago, as the college season was just getting revved up, I pondered the idea of whether or not the 2007 draft had a chance to become the greatest center draft ever. At the time there were seven to eight centers looking like solid pros while destroying non-conference schedules. Then the conference season started and these monsters, except for Greg Oden and Roy Hibbert, suddenly looked more human and rather ordinary.  Then Hibbert decided to head back to Georgetown and that … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2007: Centers

1.    Finals Fallout: Not the most memorable Finals, to say the least, but let's see where the participants go from here: -Cleveland Cavaliers: Obviously, it was a nice year for the Cavs but what happens now?  Cleveland has made steady progress since LeBron James came to town but a Finals appearance at this point seemed decidedly ahead of schedule.  James still looks really raw and the talent around him is not great.  As for future improvements, the team is right up at the … [Read more...] about Playoffthoughts

1.    Bowen and LeBron: I thought the last play of Game 3 was called correctly.  With the Cavs down three, Bruce Bowen tried to intentionally foul LeBron James.  James broke free, however, and just missed an open three.  Some had felt that the foul should've been called and that the Cavs got somewhat screwed.  Bowen did foul James but the foul was before the shot and would've been worth two free throws and would've allowed the Spurs to effectively run out the clock.  Unless Bowen … [Read more...] about Playoffthoughts

1.    Finals Preview: On paper, Cavs-Spurs seems like a mismatch.  Yes, the Cavs are playing very well.  Yes, the Cavs are 2-0 against the Spurs.  But the Spurs are playing at a really high level and the Cavs are weaker at almost every position.  Can we really gleam the winning formula the Cavs two wins against the Spurs?  In fact, the first game was the second game of the season and the later meeting right after New Years (January 2nd).  Here is the recap of those two … [Read more...] about Playoffthoughts

1.    LeBron Pumps It Up: LeBron James 48-point outburst on Thursday was truly amazing to watch and included his scoring 29 of the teams last 30 points.  Throw in some ridiculous dunks and a couple of off-balance three-pointers and you get one of those legendary playoff performances and let's us all wax poetic about how LeBron has truly arrived.  While I'm certainly on the LeBron bandwagon, it is hard to truly put this accomplishment into context because this series is not over … [Read more...] about Playoffthoughts

NBA Draft 2007: Early Mock Draft

May 27, 2007 by Ed Weiland Leave a Comment

It’s still a question of Oden or Durant, though Oden seems to have taken the lead. For now I’m going to go with Durant as #1, because he’s a better fit in Portland the way the team is currently set up. It’s more than those 2 though. This looks like it will be the best draft since ’96 and has a chance to be the best ever. This draft is so good, it has the potential to turn the league upside down in a year or two. Considering the NBA’s current group of elite teams are either aging or … [Read more...] about NBA Draft 2007: Early Mock Draft
