Man, it's been a while since I've posted

Everything is good, just busy. Finally settled into Dallas after moving from Chicago. I sort of miss the old bachelor pad, but I'm happy with the way things are here in Dallas for me now.

Killer Thrid Quarter

This link below tells the tale of the how the 3rd quarter has looked for the Spurs in these first two games in this series against the Hornets. You can see how the game opens up and the Hornet shooters start to get open shots.

This trend needs to change if the Spurs want to pull themselves back into this series.

Bruce Bowen - a maniac, psycho

I love this video. It has a nice mix of all of Bruce Bowen's questionable plays. Is he dirty? I'm a life long Spurs fan and I even think so. To be a good defender for so long and play in 500 straight NBA games, you have to have a little nastiness in you. He never would have made it in the L without it. I just wish more players played with his passion. He's in there playing mind games with the best offensive players in the league. V. Carter and Ray Allen haven't had a good game against the Spurs ever since they got caught up in Bowen's mind games. Some of the best names in the game play mind games to get an advantage. If it works the game is already over before tip-off.

Why are the Bulls so bad????

I was wondering around NBA.com and found this shooting chart breakdown for every single team and player in the league. It's pretty interesting to the shooting characteristics of each player. Who shoots the most layups? Who has a favorite spot for draining 3's? I think the most interesting thing was see that the Chicago Bulls are the only team in the NBA shooting under 47% for layups/dunks. That's rediculous. Even teams like the Bucks, Sixers, Wolves, Griz, or Bobcats are all above 52% for layups. The Knicks are the second lowest at 51%. I knew things were bad, but I had no idea things were that bad.

Part of me wants to say that this is due to the Bulls being a smaller outside shooting team without any inside power offensive game to warrant a high percentage. But this team has been like that since 2004 and they have shot no worse than 52% for layups since then. Go figure
