Minor Alan Dean Foster character from the "Flinx" series. If the inhabitants of UlruUjurr were an anomaly among intelligent races, then Maybeso was the anomaly of anomalies. Flinx In Flux Like Maybeso, who could teleport when and wherever he wanted to but would not do anything on request...

if it is true (I haven't done the research) that the first team to 100 usually wins, then that is the long-term expectation if you look at enough games. Like heads/tails at 50%. Any three game sequence that doesn't match the long-term expectation doesn't invalidate the expectation. It is...

The long-term probability of getting heads (or tails) on a coin flip is 50%. Flip your favorite quarter three times and report back the results :).

If Seattle gets a team then all you Washington-based Blazers fans will be able to get Blazers games on League Pass, right? !!

I would guess the insurance underwriter might insist on a physical before taking on the risk?

These are by any objective criteria the best-performing and therefore elite teams of this season are they not? I agree with you that they may not qualify as some of the best teams of all time, but those are subjective determinations unless you count playoff wins or some such. Other NBA...

I guess I should have used the word "fantasy" instead of "myth". If a genetic freak appears on the scene, then whatever team (Orlando, LA) gets him is going to be unstoppable. But I believe we need to get over those rare occurrences and stop letting them dominate our thinking with respect to...

Then why is there so much agony over rolling the dice on Oden? We should all be content our team is sitting at home because we made the correct risky play. I seem to remember a Lakers team that used Magic as a center (albeit only one game, small sample size etc) and winning an NBA...

Thanks in advance for teeing up my conclusion! If one can make the conference finals in the NBA without a so-called dominant center, why can we not pair a couple of really good complementary PFs and not worry so much about taking a risky center prospect like Drummond (or Oden)?

I believe that Perkins was a key addition to OKC for toughness and defense, but is he what we think of when talk about "dominant" centers?

The eastern conference championship pitted Garnett against a backup until Bosh returned. The western conference championship paired Duncan (who wants to be called a PF) against Perkins (who played less than 30 MPG). Is this not counter evidence to the myth of the dominant center being...

A long time ago I took an entire quarter's class on multivariate regression. The visiting professor had a bunch of data on athletes who had competed for football scholarships at Clemson University IIRC. We spent a bit of time proving that the single best physical indicator of future...

The past has absolutely NOTHING to do with the draw today. Every year the draw is a memoryless event based on the mathematical probabilities. Unless, of course, you are into conspiracies or karma or some other criminal or metaphysical interpretations :).

If you had leverage like that would you not use it? I suspect that is what will happen if the Blazers believe they need the cap room.

I think it is pretty clear that he doesn't believe he can get that much in free agency and it gives him another year to rehab.

It would appear that the Blazers will pick up his 3rd year... http://www.hoopsrumors.com/2012/03/blazers-expect-to-pick-up-babbits-option.html
