The Bucks never had much talent outside of Ray

George Karl is similar to Flip Saunders though. They're great at taking teams up to a certain level, but can never get over the hump. But you have to cut Karl some slack. Aside from the choke job the Sonics had against the Nuggets in '94, I don't think his teams have ever really underperformed. The Sonics lost to the Bulls in the Finals just like all the other teams did in the '90s. The Bucks were never really a powerhouse team. And the Nuggets were always the lower seed with their first round exits and were in tough conference.
I think more often than not, George Karl does well with what he's got.

We lack that second player who can demand a double team. Look at the Final Four: LA ha Kobe/Pau, Denver has Chauncey/Carmelo/Earl, Orlando has Dwight/Hedo, while Cleveland only has Lebron.

What else can you do? It is the right strategy to double Kobe and Pau whenever they get the ball.teruterubozu said:That double-team strategy just killed them though and they kept doing it in the 4th. Even JVG was ripping the strategy. Pau was just freelancin'.

The problem was they were lazy in their doubles and their rotations were never on the same page.
21 million or so over the life of the contract, which runs until 2013.K.Jack said:I'm lazy. How much?

Orlando also has Lewis, so really they have several guys you can't leave open, and 3 guys you want to double when they have the ball. The Cavs have misspent their money, though. I mean they've given out a huge contract to Z, overpaid for Larry Hughes, have Ben Wallace's contract, and they still have to pay Lebron. I know people have already said "if Mo plays better he can be that second double team guy," but when you're saying that about your team, you need to pick up that second double team guy in free agency or the draft or something.K.Jack said:I've finally figured out what I've been trying to say about the Cavs offense.

A Curry-Lawson bake-off?
The way I hear it from someone who should know, New York's eighth pick might come down to a bake-off between Davidson's Stephen Curry and North Carolina's Ty Lawson.
I can't believe Lawson is the eighth pick in this draft, but let's play this out because it's an interesting exercise: Lawson is dramatically superior as an athlete. Curry is dramatically superior as a basketball player. Do you want the triple-jump champ or the kid from the movie "Hoosiers?'
My gut: Curry will be a better pro over the entire course of his career.

Cerrius said:Height doesn't mean anything if the wingspan and standing reach aren't there. Beasley's wingspan is 2 inches longer and his standing reach is 2 inches higher than Griffin.
Griffin's going to have a tough time trying to out muscle guys in the NBA like he did in college.
I think he'll peak at 15 ppg and 8 rpg.

Of course, I disagree with his assessment of the two, but I'm biased. Though I don't see how you can flat out say Curry is a "dramatically superior" basketball player.
Ty Lawson hasn't been drawing much positive interest at the NBA's combine in Chicago.
"Injury prone," one assistant general manager told DraftExpress.com of Lawson.
"A backup point guard ... he's 100% behind Jonny Flynn," another NBA representative told the site.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4217597Houston Rockets guard Tracy McGrady has had his second surgery of the year, undergoing shoulder arthroscopy three months after having a microfracture procedure on his knee.
According to the Houston Chronicle, the surgery Friday was "timed to allow McGrady to resume basketball-related work when his rehabilitation from the knee surgery will allow."
Raging Spaniard said:He might as well fix that weird lazy eye thing he has going on, also remove the barbwire tattoo, the fashion boat for that one sailed a long time ago.
