    Amare Interview

    I think they ought to throw in a change-up every now and then just to keep them on their toes. “Great game. How did you do it?” “Well, we just came out and picked up the intensity, and stepped up on defense, and when you do that, good things happen.” “How important is this win for you...

    Are some coaches just lucky

    About the same time that Wilkens was hired, the Knicks did make one other minor change that just might have a little to do with the improvement.

    Are some coaches just lucky

    In 1993, Michael Jordan left basketball (for the first of at least three times). The Bulls signed Pete Myers, who replaced His Airness in the starting lineup. With Myers standing in for Jordan, the Bulls went 55-27, third-best record in the East and tied for sixth-best in the league. They...

    Are some coaches just lucky

    Jackson has won nine titles in thirteen seasons as a head coach. Even stipulating that he had championship-caliber talent for ten of those thirteen seasons, that’s a pretty incredible record.

    Would you pull the string on this trade?

    Re: Re: Would you pull the string on this trade? Zo got traded. Kareem got traded. Wilt got traded twice. Robert Parish got traded. Moses Malone got traded. Luc Longley got traded. That being said, I agree that Yao is not going to get traded any time soon.

    Here’s a lesson that I recently learned: When you’re applying for jobs, don’t state on your resume that you made Magna Cum Laude. At some places, any e-mail containing the word “Cum” automatically gets deleted, unread.

    Kobe wants to play for SPURS

    I don’t think he just went up to a cameraman, tapped him on the shoulder, and said, “Hey, guess what? I want to go play for San Antonio next year.” I would guess that the cameraman asked him about the possibility, and Kobe gave some kind of meaningless diplomatic answer like, “Duncan’s one...

    Cleveland Beats Celtics - Gets Closer to Playoffs

    You’re putting Amare and Zarko in the same category as Davis, Duncan, Shaq, and Kobe?

    Ahhhhhhh! Blazers trade Wallace/Person for Dickau/Ratliff/Rahim!!

    I’m getting a little tired of everybody wanting to give Charlotte two draft picks, cash, Al McCoy, the Gorilla, and their first born son for taking Howard Eisley off our hands. This obsession left “excessive” and “ridiculous” in the dust long ago and is now passing “absurd.” Sure, the guy is...

    Josh Smith - Videos

    The probability of the team with the fifth-worst record getting one of the top three picks is 29.5%. Details are here. [Note: The 2004 lottery has a very slight difference from the table in that 1999 post. Charlotte gets the fourth pick, no matter how the ping-pong balls turns out. So...

    Holy crumpets... a high school team beat CSKA Moscow and Real Madrid by 29 and 16 points, respectively? A high school team? I guess that answers any questions about the quality of European basketball.

    Will White Be a Bobcat Next Season?

    It’s an elementary idea, but after weighty consideration, I feel it would compound our problems. I suspect that George is a mole, trying to break up our nucleus.

    Look at this dunk

    He’s at Cincinnati now. Here are a couple more dunks from the 2001 McD’s All-American. You know what dunk contests really need to make them exciting again? Frederic Weis.

    Milos Vujanic salary

    No, it doesn’t work that way. Charlotte still would have to pay his salary. He would not count against their cap, which is supposedly the drawing point. However, the Bobcats’s don’t look like running into the salary cap is going to be much of a problem for them, so this is a fairly minor...

    Amare's Injury

    Has it really been that long since we knocked the Spurs out of the playoffs? It was exactly the same situation. He was “right on the cusp.” The doctors had cleared him, and said it was up to him to decide. His coach and GM said they weren’t going to push him, and it was up to him. And he...

    Milos Vujanic salary

    You could try to sell him on upward mobility. If he has to take a pay cut to come to the NBA, point out to him that, if he excels, he can ultimately make more money in the NBA than anybody makes in Europe.

    the computer picks 'em -- updated

    The Anti-Star team is players who aren’t doing so hot. Minutes played are taken into consideration, so the Anti-Star teams aren’t full of guys who never play, but rather it has people who are playing and getting bad results. JJ is among the league leaders in minutes played, which is one of...

    Hey, check this out, NugzFan: Andre has pushed ahead of Kobe and Manu, and is now identified by my computer as one of the top two guards in the West! Also, the East’s backup center has changed yet again: it was Foster, then Gadzuric, and now Ilgauskas. <pre> Western Conference...
