Note from Patrick: If I occasionally indulge myself in a little Kahn-bashing, I have to let Dre get after Karl a little. What I find remarkable about Karl is how terrible he is in the playoffs. He gets away with a lot of awful rotations in the regular season and wins a lot of games because a) his opponents are playing deep rotations with plenty of crappy players too, because it is, after all, the regular season, and b) by definition half of your regular season games are against crappy teams.
Yesterday, the Warriors agreed to trade Monta Ellis, Kwame Brown and Ekpe Udoh to the Bucks for Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson. Today, I'll try to break down how that affects both teams.
Last night against the Golden State Warriors, Dwight Howard shattered Wilt Chamberlain's 50-year old free throw record, shooting 39 free throws and making 21. The "hack-a-howard" strategy was quite deliberate, as Marc Jackson reportedly had players foul Howard even before he passed mid-court on many occasions. What caught my eye was the following bit:
The NBA Season is ready to start on Christmas Day, the last couple of preseason games are being played as I write this up, and it's time for me to cater to every serious NBA fans love of season previews! The 2011 Geektastic Preview is going to be way too large for one article, so I'm dividing it up into divisions (and even so, it's going to be long, so get a cup of coffee!). I'm continuing the preview here with the Southwest Division, from worst to first.
I'm calling them guesses, not predictions, because this way if I'm completely wrong, I won't look as stupid.
