Speed up the offense. Please. It’s painful to watch the Charlotte Bobcats execute on offense. Really. I’d rather watch the WNBA Draft. The halfcourt offense is anemic. I don’t understand why Larry Brown can’t speed it up a bit. They have a bunch of players who have been successful in more up-tempo systems.

I know I missed last week’s power rankings but stupid life got in the way as I had to take my CPA exam. I think I passed but we’ll see I guess. Anyway, nobody wants to hear about that. Let’s get right into it. 1. LOS ANGELES LAKERS (8), 13-3 – The Lakers currently hold the [...]

Let me be real clear before I go any further. Quite frankly, it’s getting harder and harder to vouch for Allen Iverson. I’ve defended him throughout his career. He rejuvenated basketball in Philadelphia but throughout his time in the “City of Brotherly Love” the fans didn’t show him enough of it. They ragged on him [...]

1. ATLANTA HAWKS (7), 8-2 – After defeating the Celtics on the road, the Hawks take over the top spot this week. They have a difficult slate of games this week, however, as they face the Blazers, Heat, and Rockets. Fortunately for them, they’re all home games.

1. PHOENIX SUNS (9), 6-1 – Despite getting smoked by the Magic in Orlando, the Suns made up for it by beating the Celtics on the road. Steve Nash is playing like an MVP and is shooting better from 3-point land than 2-point distance. Are the Suns for real? This week will be a good [...]

The 2009-2010 NBA season tips off tonight with quite possibly the best quartet of games you’ll find on any given day throughout the year. The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers cut the ribbon on the season as they renew their rivalry after a year off last year. Then, a refurbished Gilbert Arenas leads the revamped [...]
