1995-96 Bulls v. 2015-16 Warriors, a brief look

November 27, 2015 by Harlan Schreiber 1 Comment

With the Warriors off to an incredible start the natural inclination is to compare the Warriors to some of the All-Time greats.  Could the Warriors beat the best of All-Time?  This kind of hypothetical question isn’t really answerable but hypotheticals are fun.  If we are going to go down that road, there are really two ways to assess the issue.  First, compare the teams’ dominance of their peers.  The second is to run through a lineup dream matchup and make educated guesses about the how the … [Read more...] about 1995-96 Bulls v. 2015-16 Warriors, a brief look

Quick Thoughts

November 18, 2015 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

1. Slow Pacers and Mahinmi’s Shooting: At the end of a ponderous 2014-15 season, Larry Bird and the Pacers decided there needed be changes in style of play. In the context of whether the Pacers wanted big man Roy Hibbert next year, coach Frank Vogel said that “there’s a possibility that Roy’s role will be diminished, if we’re trying to play faster and trying to play smaller.” The Pacers then just gave Hibbert away for a second-rounder after the season. The trade made sense. Hibbert’s offense had … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

Marcelo’s Bad Day

November 12, 2015 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

Basketball, like most sports, has a strong element of machismo. The winners are considered alpha dogs and any single bad play can give a player a stigma as goat or a loser for a lifetime. Lakers’ 32-year old rookie point guard Marcelo Huertas had a stigma moment the other day against the Heat. Huertas’ stat line wasn’t terrible. In 15 minutes, he shot 1 for 3, with two rebounds, four assists, (but three turnovers) and scored a +8 in a game where the Lakers lost 13. Of course, sports fans … [Read more...] about Marcelo’s Bad Day

NBA Preview 2015-16: Atlantic Division

October 15, 2015 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

We still have a few weeks left but the 2015-16 NBA season is upon us.  Usually, during season preview time, we like to harken back to the past as well to get a little historical perspective as where each franchise was years ago.  This season, we have a nice historical period to review, the 20th anniversary of my favorite NBA season, 1995-96 . It is possible that 1995-96 was not particularly legendary but it represented the height of my time as a pure fan in the pre-internet age.  I was young … [Read more...] about NBA Preview 2015-16: Atlantic Division

Moses Malone FAQ

September 26, 2015 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

The passing of Moses Malone last week marks the loss of one of the great legends of NBA history.  He is remembered as a relentless rebounding machine who didn’t say much.  In fact, when you think about Malone, there are not many memorable stories or highlight plays.  Rather, just a long career of rebounds, rebounds, and more rebounds.  But there are plenty of fun forgotten stories that tell us a bit more about Malone and the time he played in.  This is a good time to dwell on a few of those … [Read more...] about Moses Malone FAQ

Bismack’s Promise

September 13, 2015 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

The public rarely gets a glimpse into the inner workings of agent battles for players.  I have always assumed the battles involved seedy promises to young and potentially naïve players.  But what about the young players abroad?  How are they treated by the agent community?  This week, the details of litigation in New York revealed a bit these relationships and that the representation battles are not limited the United States. In 2014, a Barcelona based-sports manager name Igor Crespo sued NBA … [Read more...] about Bismack’s Promise
