If I had to make the decision, I would think that it is better to start a good center (Al, as opposed to Elson) and a "subpar" SG (Bell) than to start a subpar C (Elson) and a better SG/SF (CJ).

Just to play devil's advocate for GVC, you need to realize that Ostertag was great at blocking/altering shots, but he was a bad player overall.

I want to reiterate the fact that Fesenko (realistically) could not play 30 minutes without getting 6 fouls. Also, Elson could not handle 30 mpg over the course of the whole season.

The difference is that - in reality - Fesenko could not play 30 mpg without fouling out and Elson couldn't handle 30 mpg over the course of a season. Granted, I think Al's "he's figuring out the offense" grace period is closing pretty quickly, but compared to the other options we have at the 5...

Boozer is gone Time to move on.

Deron is going to play with Blake Griffin in Dallas (once Blake can sign there in a few years).

If you are going to go as far as contraction, why not shorten the season as well? 82 games is too much, and it's horrible to see SportsCenter highlights in mid-February of a game between mediocre teams like Grizzles vs. Wizards. Crop the league to 25 teams, shorten the season to 50 or 60...

Gave my brother-in law a Giovine wrist watch:

1.) Portland - the whole "Jailblazers" thing rubbed me the wrong way. I detested Rasheed and Mighty Mouse matching up against Karl and John since I could count on them ('Sheed and Mouse) complaining nonstop to the refs. 2.) Sacramento - that 5 game series back in 1999 somehow solidified it for...

Great article. Thanks for sharing.

Statistically he is a juggernaut. The points, rebounds, assists...everything is impressive about him as a player (granted, this is a surface-level explanation that is not going to delve into discussing usage rate, etc.). That being said, I would have been thrilled to have seen him stay in...

Not of medicine. I know that doesn't make me an expert either. But what I do know of withdrawal symptoms is that in most cases they are far worse than sleepless nights.

I'd say no. Those don't sound like withdrawal symptoms (at least to me).

Are you chemically dependent on watching? And don't just say that "I feel sad when I don't watch" or something equivalent. Show me that you have a true, chemical dependency.

It's a question of forward and angular momentum (assuming the ball had any backspin on it whatsoever) vs. good ol' fashioned balance. Probably not a lot going on here - the ball likely landed on the rim perfectly aligned with one of the seams. Rare looking shot, but not improbably surely.

Exactly. Genetic predilection makes you more of a target to become addicted to alcohol - you develop a chemical dependency on it. Chemical dependence is, in many ways, excruciating to "get over." Why do you think millions of smokers fail in quitting smoking each day?

Enjoy it while it lasts, I say.

I bet Beantown could take you.

Well if you took the part, you surely wouldn't be allowed in the military AT ALL :rolleyes:

The game was a little tight, but a W is a W. Reset and get ready for Portland on Monday.
