Quick Thoughts

December 17, 2009 by Harlan Schreiber 1 Comment

1. Taking Stock in Boston: As the standings start to sort themselves out in the NBA, it is clear that Boston is, once again, a serious title contender. With their current winning streak, the Celts are 20-4 and have the best record in the NBA and the best SRS rating, though Atlanta and the Lakers are very close. (Surprisingly, the Magic and Cavs are far behind these three in SRS). Boston has been winning, as they usually do, with suffocating defense. The Celts have the top defense in … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts

Transactions: 11/18-12/8

Golden State Warriors 11/20 Signed center Chris Hunter Hunter is an NBDL call up for the Warriors. He was a decent role player in college at Michigan but has scored quite well in the NBDL (19 ppg last year). It's not clear how good he will be but an active and cheap big man in his mid-20s is always worth as look. The Don Nelson Warriors are not the ideal place for a big man to break in but it is definitely better than playing in Fort Wayne. New Jersey Nets 11/29 Fired … [Read more...] about Transactions: 11/18-12/8

The NBA and the Spirits

December 5, 2009 by Harlan Schreiber 4 Comments

I thought today we could review the best deal in NBA history and a deal that might never end. We're not talking about any sort of player transaction but the famed settlement agreement between the St. Louis Spirits and the NBA. Most basketball fans knows generally about this deal, namely that the owners of the Spirits were able to obtain a portion of NBA television revenue in perpetuity in exchange for Spirits' agreement to fold as a team. This agreement has enabled the Spirits to collect … [Read more...] about The NBA and the Spirits

Surprise Squads So Far

November 28, 2009 by Harlan Schreiber Leave a Comment

It's hard to say that the 2009-10 season has been full of surprises so far. We knew New Jersey would be bad and that the Cavs would be good, though we didn't expect the Nets to be quite so bad or the Cavs to be not as good but, like most of the NBA, these teams are playing somewhat in line with expectations. We do have a few outliers, teams that are playing much better than most expected: Atlanta, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, and Dallas (we can also throw in Miami but they are only 9-6 with a … [Read more...] about Surprise Squads So Far

Welcome to Loserville, Population New Jersey

November 23, 2009 by Harlan Schreiber 1 Comment

Going into the season, the Nets were expected to be a poor team. They traded away Vince Carter for Courtney Lee and made no real additions. We expected a bad team but 0-13 is even worse than was reasonably be expected. The Nets are probably not quite as bad as they have looked so far. They have had a rash of injuries (Devin Harris, Courtney Lee, Yi Jianlian, Jarvis Hayes), though only Devin Harris was a really significant loss, the cumulative loss is significant. The Nets have been above … [Read more...] about Welcome to Loserville, Population New Jersey
