The Current State of The NBA: WSJ DISS posted on 03/04/2009

 I am a subscriber to the Wall Street Journal. It's funny I love to learn about business; I'm a business person. My passion for the NBA is second. Now the WSJ has a sports column. I forgot the cat's name, but he wrote a bad article pertaining to the NBA and the economy. He speaks of the NBA being diluted somewhat because there are only maybe five true title contending teams: Cleveland, Boston, Orlando, LA Lakers, and San Antonio. Some fans know that their teams aren't going to be competitive, and this is different from other years.

I am going to rudely disagree. First off, even going back to the Jordan era of the Association, There has always only been a couple of title contending teams and everyone else. The beauty of the NBA is that 16 teams get in and anything can happen. Hell, I remember some surprises over the years in past playoffs. in '94 the eighth seed Nuggets beating the one seed Lakers. The Houston Rockets whom never was an elite team before the playoffs winning back to back titles. Don't forget during the lock out season in '99, the Knicks as an eight seed making it all the way to the Finals against the Spurs.

The Chicago Bulls: The Brad Miller and John Salmons Effect posted on 03/01/2009

 I am sorry to see Andres Nocioni and Drew Gooden go, but hey, the Bulls needed a change. The Bulls need more of a consistent inside presence, and Brad Miller the new old Bull can give them that. John Salmons can also be what the Bulls needed. The one problem with the Bulls was their lack of size at the two guard spot. With Rose and Salmons you have a pretty big back-court. 

Salmons was putting up some decent numbers with the Kings this year, and he also plays good defense. The best two guards are in the East. Derek Rose penetrates to the basket all time, and he draws the defense to him. When he draws the defense to him, he will get Brad Miller easier shots. He will also be able to get John Salmons more open basket when he draws the defense to him. These two dudes should be able to get the Bulls the eight spot in the East.
