Well, OK it technically is about the Thunder on the surface, but really it's more about the pitfalls of using the 'slow and steady wins the race' approach to roster building and just how much luck factors into team success. I found it especially relevant given the composition of our own team and all of the hopes and dreams we've pinned on this group getting to the promised land and how those hopes and dreams can sometimes get a bucket of cold water thrown on them with injuries or other setbacks.

Adande http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playoffs/2010/columns/story?columnist=adande_ja&page=thunder-100501 All those 'ifs' and 'buts' we're all too familiar with ourselves ... maybe there's a lesson in there for KP and Paul Allen?
I'm not sure what the lesson is other than sometimes, even with the best of planning and the greatest of luck, things work out and sometimes they don't.
yup.....I think he wrote a similar story last year actually... ...The Hornets with Peja, Tyson, and West balling along with Paul is another good example Nuggets are on the verge of their window closing (if it already didnt, my god Kenyon Martin is a moron)
