... criticism of Aldridge thus far has been that he is soft. It may be true to an extent, but I don't think he is any more "soft" than other finesse players in the league. He just plays a finesse game, not a power game. He could stand to improve as a rebounder, and let's all hope he doesn't keep drifting more and more to the outside, like Rasheed Wallace started doing throughout his career.

I honestly and truly thought the Suns had a chance to be better than good this season. I honestly felt like all the pieces fit, the defense would be better and the offense would be devastating. But never did I consider the possibility that the Suns would be 7-1 after the first chunk of their schedule, which is reality after a 119-115 victory in Philadelphia. Never did I think Nash would play at an MVP level, Jason Richardson would play like he did in Golden State, Grant Hill would rebound like it was the ’90s, Amare would care about defense and rebounding and the bench would be this rock solid. I thought a 3-2 road trip would be a pipe ...

John Hollinger has come out with Future Power Rankings where he basically has a formula to predict the heirarchy of power in the league in 2011, 2012 and 2013. The Thunder are sitting fourth (Insider): “One area in which they didn’t fare as well, however, was in the market category. Oklahoma City is the smallest NBA market and plagued by some wild weather, two factors that combine to put it well off the radar for most prospective free agents. But there’s hope: The Thunder have an excited fan base, and Oklahoma City might look like a pretty good destination if the ...
