I remember the NBA schedule for the 2007-2008 season being relased last year.  I looked immediately at the last week of the season because that is the one stretch of games when the Spurs probably will not play like four time champions.  The Suns will have cooled off.  The chip on the Mavs’ shoulder will be […]

My formula is simple. I took a look at the teams’ record, trends, figured in trades, schedules, threw most of that out, and relied mostly on pure speculation. At the All-Star break the playoff race is tight. Consider this – the ninth team in the West right now (Denver) would miss the playoffs in the […]

Karl Malone owns many vaunted distinctions. He’s second all-time in points scored, was named to the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History, was a two-time MVP, won an Olympic gold medal to name a few, and he really knows how to light up a room on draft […]

I like to think I’m a results-oriented person. I’m not overly concerned with the method; I just want to achieve the optimal result. You know, substance over form, essence rather than style. It’s a theory the Spurs understand better than any other organization in the NBA and the rafters in the AT&T […]
