Duncan is their one irreplaceable player. As great as the other players are, they became better because they joined the Spurs. Duncan built the Spurs.
Small ball is here to stay in the NBA. Melo might not like banging at the PF spot, but to force him to play post defense an opposing team needs...
Rubio can't make layups, outside shots, or anything. On ESPN, he is ranked #399 in the NBA 2013-2014 in FG%. In 2pt FG% he was ranked #420. In 3pt...
People like stories. Story 1: Start with a core and watch it develop into a champion. Story 2: Take less $ to form an overpowered team...
You underestimate Clutchfans. For most of us it's a close call between Hakeem and first born child.
The one problem with the Dream/Duncan/James/Jordan lineups is lack of 3pt shooting, assuming a modern game. Might be heresy here, but the only...
Well, the questions about Jackson didn't resolve until he won with the Lakers, too. Those Lakers teams were not head and shoulders above the rest...
Talent is way more important to success than having a balanced lineup. The Heat simply have way more talent than anyone else. The best analogy is...

At some point, every great player comes up against a defense that gives him trouble, and he has to learn to beat it. Like Harden, a lot of the...
Good point. Also, why doesn't Joe Biden get criticized like Obama?
It pains me to say it but I feel a lot like you do. My wife thinks this is me developing old man syndrome.
Like any business, it only makes sense that the NBA would try to make as much money as possible. That doesn't mean favoring one team, but rather...
That is weird, as it's main use is as an anti-breast cancer agent. Masks other steroids though.
Bima is amazing. His salary cap deconstructions are probably more sophisticated than half the front offices in the league. I think Morey signed...
This is a good idea that wouldn't be too hard to implement. The biggest constraint on trades, though, is that all teams involved have to think...
