Calderon Finally Gets His Shot

Sat, 19 Jul 2008 13:27:53 +1900

There is no “I” in team. You’ve heard the cliché a thousand times. It’s right up there with “We gave it a 110% out there,” and “We’re taking it one game at a time.” It’s a warm and fuzzy sentiment but beginning to sound a bit outdated. How about, “I gave it my all out there today, mainly because I’m in a contract year and I’m trying to raise my price tag before I hit free agency next ...

That didn't end too well, did it?

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:35:47 +1900

And another Canada season ends. Badly. Not that anyone thought they had a legitimate chance against Croatia but that was rather dreadful nonetheless. At no point in the game did anyone, ever, think Canada could pull off an upset and give itself a chance at the Olympics. (Oh, and about that mailbag thing? I’m a tad under the weather and need the rest of the morning to finish it off; ...

Raptors’ Related Thoughts on the James Posey Deal

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 14:46:08 +1900

First of all, the New Orleans Hornets are supposedly now the favorites to win the 2009 NBA Championship. To justify this certain people have turned to voodoo math, making the point that the last two teams with James Posey as their 4th best player have won the Title*. But this argument is flawed**. Posey is the Hornets’ 5th Best player***. By the smallest [...]

Introduction to Advanced Stats 101

Sat, 12 Jul 2008 14:38:47 +1900

Fans love debating which is the best shooting team in the NBA. Do today’s modern statistics make it clearer or just complicate things more? The majority of basketball fans prefer to watch and debate the game subjectively. That is to say, they go with what their eyes and gut instincts tell them. One might watch a Detroit-Phoenix game and come away thinking Phoenix is a superior offensive ...

Smaller squad has taller task

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:05:00 +1900

The irony about Leo's decision to send Sam Dalembert home is that Croatia is one of the teams against which having a legit big man would have come in handy. Oh well. With Dalembert out and Juan Mendez already cut and Jesse Young injured what was a position of depth is now kind of thin. Joel Anthony - Follow link to read full post
