Mo Williams is exactly the kind of guy you avoid if you want somebody with proven playoff success. In each season he reached the playoffs his PER...
In all the years I've watched the Blazers, I can't remember a stretch where we made so many lob attempts. It's really becoming a fixture in our...
Yeah, I hear you. I play some hoop down at the Y and I seem to be the only guy out there passing or setting screens. I think it throws people off,...
Maybe. Pau Gasol spent nearly his entire NBA career at around 19 ppg, when he clearly had the talent to score more. (He did 23 ppg last year.)...
I think he's a guy like Rasheed was who could be forced to take a lot of shots if the coach made him, but isn't naturally inclined to do so. Travis...
Batum is basically a 17 ppg scorer now if you throw out the two games where Nate inexplicably played him for 17 and 13 minutes. That's at 30 mpg. I...
Although Nate has never, ever run a fast-paced team, there's at least a chance it could finally happen. In the past, whether in Portland or...
Oh man, MM, I'm so glad you aren't the GM. Do you really think that's the problem with the team? Lack of motivation? Because to me it seems like...
It's just heartbreaking to visualize in my head that wicked crossover/step back shot of his, or his amazing and effortless drives at the rim, and...
That is just so awesome the transition from the first half to the second half of your post, and how "It's insane" is kind of the pivot for it all...
Wait, what? Give away the best player we've had so far this year, PLUS a draft pick, to pick up a Steve Blake-type? Are you nuts? I don't think...
I'd probably start shopping Camby around to see what he could net. A LOT of teams would really like to rent his services for a championship/deep...
Not really. His defense has been pretty good so far (except against Deng). His three pointer just isn't falling yet. When that starts going in for...
Yeah, that's true enough. I just wish there was something equivalent with a few rule changes. Maybe instead of zombies they're like the Flood from...
I hated having a 21 win team more than anything. Even just one season. They are called "cellar dwellers" because they are dark, dank holes, and...
You can pretty much guarantee Oden's PER will be above 15 too. And Joel was at 15 when he was last healthy for a full year. But yeah, I'd rather...
http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/POR/2011.html Jesus. I knew it was bad, Roy, but jesus. And his defense (which isn't really accountable...
California is suffering under a pernicious parasite, but it's actually the Federal Government: http://www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/266.html...
I think you trot him out there for warmups and see how he does. If he's moving well, play him. If not, sit him. I agree with NateBishop that he...
I don't know that the world doesn't appreciate our help. There are a lot of people in Africa who don't have malaria or aren't dead from AIDS right...
