What’s Wrong Phoenix? 2008-01-04 09:08:55 Phoenix keeps winning games, but something is different this year. Nash and Amare look great, and Grant Hill looks better than he has in 10 years, but something is still wrong. They’re not the team they were last year.
Part of the problem might be the “been there, done that” feel the regular season must have [...] Read more:Wrong

The Nuggets Don’t Deserve To Make Playoffs 2008-04-06 14:47:11 I’m a baaaad Nuggets fan. I don’t focus on the things they do well - transition offense, creating turnovers, their ever-improving inside-out game, their ability to play through injuries, or the fact that on any given night they can beat any team in the NBA. Instead, I focus on the fact the Nuggets are lazy [...] Read more:Playoffs
Mike Bibby Is Right - Most NBA Fans Suck (Except in NY and LA) 2008-04-23 14:00:51 Mike Bibby recently said that Boston’s fans are “bandwagon jumpers…I played here [in Boston] last year and I didn’t see most of them.” Talk about honest - most of Boston’s current fans weren’t planning on attending games, cheering their team on, or wearing any jerseys until KG and Ray Allen came to town. But Mike [...] Read more:Right

Nuggets First 50 Win Team To Be Swept In First Round 2008-04-29 01:13:58 The Denver Nuggets have the honor of being the only 50 win team in the history of the NBA to be swept in the first round of the playoffs. Here’s what went wrong:
> Bad defensive habits.
The much-maligned Nuggets defense improved in the last year, but not enough to overcome their chronic lack of focus. [...] Read more:First
7 Keys To Understanding The Celtics Championship Hopes 2008-05-05 11:24:30 Boston closed out the Hawks yesterday in a game heralded by the media as “potentially the biggest upset in history.” While the Hawks definitely gave Boston a scare, the series was never that close. Boston outplayed Atlanta in every game - except for a few fourth quarters. Based on that experience, here’s what we now [...] Read more:Understanding
Potential Iverson Sign and Trade Destinations 2008-05-22 09:52:45 Now that we know Denver must trade Allen Iverson
, here’s a list of potential ’sign-and-trade’ opportunities:
Cleveland - My personal favorite, A.I. and Lebron could play together in a way that Melo and A.I. never will. Lebron is a much better 3pt shooter and passer than Melo, opening up a lot more scoring opportunities for A.I. [...] Read more:Potential

7 Reasons The Nuggets Must Trade Allen Iverson 2008-05-22 09:36:28 It’s a shame that Iverson
- one of the greatest small guards to ever play the game (if not THE greatest) - has to leave Denver. The, however, writing is on the wall - the Melo - A.I. experiment has failed. Here’s why Denver’s got to trade A.I.:
1) Denver risks losing Iverson for nothing if [...] Read more:Trade

Listen Up Chicago - NBA Coaches Don’t Matter Very Much 2008-06-12 11:11:08 Say what you will about Chicago
Bulls GM John Paxson and his recent coaching hire, but I think ol’ Johnny got it right. Why pay top dollar when coaches don’t matter very much anyways?
While one could argue there are a few top notch coaches that could make ANY NBA
team good, like Red Auerbach, Phil [...] Read more:Listen

Grizzlies.
In a move that added a lot of salary, the Memphis Grizzlies shipped Kevin Love, Mike Miller, Jason Collins, and Brian Cardinal to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Bucks Make Out Like Bandits 2008-06-26 16:23:57 The Milwaukee Bucks pulled off the 2nd biggest trade heist of 2008 (after Pau Gasol).
Talk about your lop-sided trades. According to ESPN, the Milwaukee Bucks have shipped Yi Jianlin and Bobby Simmons to the New Jersey Nets in exchange for Richard Jefferson.
Let me put it another way - the Bucks traded a soft PF (Yi) [...]
Denver Might Be Better Without Camby 2008-07-28 01:28:22 It’s tantamount to heresy to say this in the Mile High city, but the Nuggets might actually be a better basketball team without Marcus Camby. Here’s why:
1) Camby’s shot selection. As much as I loved watching Camby put the ball over his shoulder and taking a 25 footer, I can say that many of his [...] Read more:Denver
San Antonio - Chicago - Let’s Make a Trade 2008-09-08 20:55:49 With the western conference stronger than ever, it seems that San Antonio
isn’t going to get many more chances at competing for a championship. This year might be it, and Ginobili’s recent injury has substantially endangered their chances. While the safe move for the Spurs is to stick with what’s been working so well for [...] Read more:Chicago
