DR. J DOCUMENTARY
Last night, the Dr. J documentary aired on ESPN and NBA TV.  This morning one of my kids called and asked ” how come being Julius first coach  they did not  interview you?”  I said, “they did and chose not to use any of it.”  Also, I said, “relax, I was the […]

HURRY BACK DOUG COLLINS

Last night watching the finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat was painful to say the least.  Could someone tell me how on earth the NBA could put together such a group.  First, you have to listen to Mike Wilbon, Jalen Rose, and […]

COACHES

This week, the Suns hired Jeff Hornacek as their coach, who is also their best shooter.  Nowhere in any of the reports will you read about John MacLeod’s influence in the development of Jeff Hornacek.  If it wasn’t for John’s patience, it could have been a close call.  The year Jeff […]

BRIAN COLANGELO

Last week, Brian Colangelo was moved upstairs.  The only problem as my good friend, Johnny Kerr, used to say, “it was a one story building”.

Players and Coaches:
According to an article in the Daily News by Mitch Lawrence, http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/lawrence-brooklyn-patience-couuld-net-red-hot-hollins-article-1.1341359#ixzz2TyCLa3sC, Chris Paul’s  preference is to stay with the Clippers but he would like a black coach. How dumb is that?  Even if he was thinking that why in the heck would he come out and say it?  So he now […]

In my previous blogs, I listed four of Scotty McDonald’s Defensive Commandments.  I am going to list the remaining defensive commandments so you can look at some of the  similarities that we talked about in an earlier blog. We will start with rule 5;
Rule 5: “Don’t let your man establish offensive center position against […]

Credit to the Philly Sportswriters
The sports writers in Philly who have recently covered the analytics should be commended for letting the fans know who they are, where they came from and just exactly what they do.  Since they have infiltrated the NBA, they have been working undercover.  Now, the fans can scrutinize them like […]

I enjoyed reading your article of  May 13 and the references to the number guys (nerds).   I try to keep up with  my old team via email whenever I can.  If I may, let me give you some observations.  Replacing Collins is not his most urgent […]

Serge Ibaka —Blocking Shots 
Will someone tell Ibaka he does not need to block every shot.  Bill Russell always said that he only blocked one or two shots a game but you never knew when they were coming.  That means he changed a lot of shots.  Trust me I was there.  At that time, the […]
