NBA Preview 2009-10: Southwest Divsion

by 4 Comments

Last year, the Southwest Division was, by far, the deepest division in the NBA, with four of the five teams winning at least 49 games.  This year, the division should still be deep but not quite so.  Moreover, all four playoff teams are at some key points.  Dallas and San Antonio are trying to squeeze another run out of veteran cores, Houston is hoping to overcome injuries to stay competitive, and New Orleans has the best player in the division and is teetering on the edge of playoff participant … [Read more...] about NBA Preview 2009-10: Southwest Divsion

NBA Preview 2009-10: Southeast Division

by 3 Comments

The Southeast is an interesting new fangled division.  Since the NBA switched to a three-division format, the Southeast has been the shallowest in terms of talent.  While they have had some nice teams (2004-06 Heat and the 2008-09 Magic), the rest of the teams in the division have varied from middling to bad.  2008-09, however, was the first year that the division managed to have three teams over .500.  The division should be even a little better this year as Washington will be improved and … [Read more...] about NBA Preview 2009-10: Southeast Division

NBA Preview 2009-10: Central Division

by 10 Comments

Turning to the Central, we see the same pattern we saw in the Atlantic.  One title contender (Cleveland) and a whole bunch of maybes.  While the Central doesn't look like it will have any truly horrible teams it also has plenty of also-rans.  The also-rans are varying degrees of interesting from very (Chicago) to not so much (Milwaukee).  Let's see how it all shakes out:  1.    Cleveland Cavaliers:    By most accounts, the Cavs seemed to be the best team in 2008-09.  They had the most wins, … [Read more...] about NBA Preview 2009-10: Central Division

NBA Preview 2009-10: Atlantic Division

We're only weeks away from another exciting NBA season.  We thought this would be a good time to get going with a division-by-division preview and see what we have to expect.  Sure, predictions are fraught with issues.  Facts (and rosters) will change between now and April 2010, which will render some of what we see moot (think Billups, Chauncey and Detroit Pistons last year) but doesn't mean it isn't fun to chew up what we have so far.  As a fun bonus, we'll give you our All-Decade starting … [Read more...] about NBA Preview 2009-10: Atlantic Division

Quick Thoughts

by 8 Comments

I know it's exciting that training camps are open and players are playing actual basketball but actual news is quite hard to come by.  We'll have full NBA previews coming in the next few weeks but we thought we'd tide you over with a little bit of basketball talk.  We often associate a particular position with a particular player (i.e. Magic Johnson at the point in the 1980s or Michael Jordan at shooting guard forever).  We were wondering whether our mental associations comport with the stats.  … [Read more...] about Quick Thoughts
