Golden State wanted to lock up some young talent and they did.
“We’re extremely happy to have Andris under contract for many years to come,” said Chris Mullin, the Warriors’ top basketball executive. “He is clearly one …read more

All the after the fact analysts are now claiming the Jason Kidd deal was such a dumb move by Mark Cuban.
The facts? No victories against above .500 teams and the West is loaded with above .500 teams.
Now they have all this analysis about what Devin Harris brought to the team or even, oh yeah, get this, DeSagana Diop.
Excuuuuse me? What a bunch of baloney.
The Mavericks lost to the Warriors in the first round last year. The out of control Warriors took them down.
Was Devin Harris …read more

LeBron says – It is all about team (yeah, right)

1. LeBron – Last Week’s Rank – 1
The Cavs are six games below .500 without James in the lineup and 13 games above it when he plays. This past week I received a large amount of e-mails pointing out …read more

Tim Duncan says “You have to stop me to get to the finals
The Lakers picked up Pau Gasol, so they would not lose any momentum when Andrew Bynum was injured. When Bynum comes back, you have a front court of Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, and Lamar Odom to go with Kobe Bryant. Arguably a powerful lineup.
The Phoenix Suns dealt the Matrix for Shaquille O’Neal. The Suns needed a center to get past the Spurs and because the Gasol deal had moved the Lakers ahead of them. If Shaq …read more

And LeBron shall lead them…
Winning.
Every team that experiences winning can tell you how great it feels. After a while a team that wins begins to think of themselves as winners.
That is where the trouble begins. Teams forget all the hard work, the lucky breaks, the momentum, the close calls that went their way. They seem to claim a divine right that makes them better.
Cleveland started to really play as a team when they faced the Detroit Pistons in the playoffs last year.

Tayshaun Prince
The story was not in the victory over the Warriors on this wintry Detroit day.
No, the 109 – 87 victory was nice, but under the circumstances, expected.

Boston may be getting all the press clippings, but Detroit has quietly begun to play great defense and great offense. This had led …read more

The return of James, your basketball author. Now the good and the bad. The good is that my most excellent boss and coworkers filled in quite nicely and that is most appreciated.
The bad is that James is diagnosed with Cancer and undergoing chemotherapy. Fear not, they say the cancer is one that is curable, so let us move forward with our dreams of basketball!
Who you calling senile?
The Warriors are wild and crazy guys!
The thing about the Warriors is they make no sense. Basketball at the professional level isn’t …read more
