NCAA tourney time is upon the world of hoops.  I won't use this time to talk about the NBA game versus the NCAA game (I like them both).  Nor am I going to give you my predictions for this year's brackets.  Instead, I thought we could look at the programs and the pros they have yielded.  With the help of Basketball-Reference.com we're going to go through the major programs and their best NBA starting five.  I did this several years ago but times have changed and this is always fun to … [Read more...] about Best of the Big East, NBA Style

Transactions: 1/15-2/25 Part II

by Leave a Comment

New Orleans Hornets 2/4      Signed Sasha Pavlovic to a 10-day contract 2/23    Traded Marcus Thornton and cash to Sacramento for Carl Landry On a talent basis, Thornton for Landry was a pretty fair exchange.  The issue here was not talent but money.  Mark Cuban criticized the trade because the Hornets, which are owned by the NBA and capitalized collectively by the NBA owners, made a trade that added a bit to the Hornets' payroll ($750,000) in the deal.  Cuban's stated his beef … [Read more...] about Transactions: 1/15-2/25 Part II

Atlanta Hawks 1/28    Signed Damien Wilkins for the remainder of the season 2/23    Traded Mike Bibby, Maurice Evans, Jordan Crawford, and a draft pick to Washington for Kirk Hinrich and Hilton Armstrong This can best be described as a modest upgrade.  Bibby is pretty much cooked as his game has declined in all facets the last two years.  Hinrich is a better player on every level now.  The caveat is that Hinrich hasn't been more than average for a while and he won't turn … [Read more...] about Transactions: 1/15-2/25 Part I

Hail The Three-Point King

Last week, Ray Allen surpassed Reggie Miller to become the the leader in most three-pointers made.  The record itself is hardly written in stone.  The three-point shot is a relatively new record and it took the NBA nearly a decade before team's routinely used it as normal part of the offensive game.  By way of a quick history, the shot came into being in the NBA in 1979-80 and was mostly a novelty.  In watching the old footage, one can see that the teams would only use the shot as a … [Read more...] about Hail The Three-Point King

Quick Thoughts

1.    The Cavs Make Me Want To Puke: Before the season, I thought that the Cavs looked like the clear worst team in the NBA.  I was pleasantly surprised to Cleveland get off to a respectable start at 7-9, only to go 1-34 run since and be in the throes of a 25-game losing streak.  Could the Cavs really be this bad?  In a word...yes.  This is the worst offensive and defensive team in the NBA  Their best player is Ramon Sessions, a decent guard, and the only other above-average player right … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts
