Bummer. I was hoping he'd sound a little more optimistic about playing longer. Can't say that I blame him though.
If Rudy, Batum and Matthews could really kill three pointers, our offense would look soooo much better. These guys are getting Spurs-like wide open...
Aldridge had a horrible night, and still wound up with 23 and 9. Your star has really arrived when that happens. Batum was everywhere.
Just had to correct my math there. There were 276 NBA players in 1977. There are 382 this year. So the pool of players overall have expanded by 27%,...
Nice piece of research. Also works to look at guys 6'3 or shorter. There were 71 in 1977, there are 76 this year. Given that the league has 23%...
You may have a point there. I'll bet a stray boson particle somehow causes his neck to explode into a thousand little pieces right after the...
Well, the common theme in that list is that they are all guys who play pretty physical in-the-paint games. Maybe as the NBA gets more loaded with...
I'd also add that the Pareto Principle applies to practically everything. 20% of any activity generates 80% of the results. 20% of most companies'...
Spot on. Maybe part of that has been a consequence of our huge playoff streak. If you never fall deep into the lottery and you aren't the Lakers,...
You're only supposed to whisper it under your breath in the still of the night when your significant other or cat has fallen asleep and there's...
But surely you realize that if there were 100,000 golfers in the USA who were that good, there'd be around twice as many who'd have elite talent....
Start Przybilla or Dante? Jesus christ. It sucks. It sucks so much.
Steven J Gould had a great book about pro sports and the illusion that leagues were somehow less competitive than they used to be in "the good old...
In the 1985-86 season, there were 23 teams. The US population was 237 million people. In 2010, there are 30 teams. The US population is 308 million...
He's basically playing the Tim Duncan position. Back to basket post up player we run the offense through. Quality defender you aren't afraid to put...
It's definitely a new era for power forwards. The New Improved Aldridge, Griffin and Love are going to be dominating at those positions for the next...
I'd guess the odds are pretty good that we'd at least try. That's exactly what we did with Steve Blake. I'm guessing Portland could probably have...
Yeah, Zbo came to my mind too. He's pretty damned good. He's got the ability to draw fouls, the ability to score....but he's not really that much of...
Is Aldridge the best pure post up player in the NBA right now? I'm trying to think of a guy who you can throw the ball into in the post, no matter...
Obviously he needs some work, but he's looking a little better. The interesting thing to see is how badly his teammates are adjusting to him. They...
