      When you say Clyde, do you mean Drexler the 6 ft 7 shooting guard?

        I think its pretty funny that Tony Parker is a team leader and PG for one of the most successful squads in years....but you fella's don't count him as an all time great.

        wow.

        Anyhow my point..... 9 teams have won? So 21 have not.

        Can we please stop using the term "treadmill".

        Its fucking stupid

        What does one thing have to do with the other? Parker is not an all timer. He's a hall of famer but he isn't in the Magic/Robertson/Kidd/Thomas/Stockton conversation.

            None of the big moves were pro-active. If Milsap leaves DC is resigned by Atlanta and if LMA doesn't join the Spurs CoJo stays. Guys kinda fell into MU's lap. Trading GV made sense but Lou and Amir probably get resigned if the other two event dont happen.

            Pro teams like to talk about a plan.

            In most cases, the plan is “Talk about a plan for as long as it keeps us employed. Then go somewhere else and talk about a new plan. Some day, consider creating an actual plan.”

            The Raptors are the rare case of a team with a multilayered approach for tomorrow, for two years from now, and for the decade after that.

            Nobody talks about it – not on the record. It’s tampering and it’d be careless. Up in their suites at 50 Bay St., it’s all they talk about.

            In general manager Masai Ujiri’s office, there’s a large, colour-coded board that acts as a map of the NBA. It’s updated daily by interns – every guy on every team, where he stands on the depth chart, where he is in his current deal.

            Ujiri and his lieutenants will sometimes spend hours in there, staring at it and plotting.

                Strong defense is most important to winning in the playoffs more times than not. Things get rough, the refs put their whistles away on some matters that would be called in the regular season and so it's harder to score and easier to get away with rough stuff. Also the atmosphere is much more intense and so getting cold on offense is more likely especially for a young team. How do you hang in there and give yourself a chance to pull one out? By making life hell for the other team. Ujiri is assembling a roster that teams are going to hate to play.
                Good post. MU has indeed gone for defence . He still believes in DC which is worrisome.

                  MU has contradicted everything Casey said last season. Casey said the ugly offence and help happy defence would work in the playoffs
