a lesson from the playoffs

(I just can't stand having a MLB story at the top of the page.)

For all the talk of the NBA following the Suns' lead and switching to an up-tempo full-court style (hello Toronto!), just take a look at the playoffs so far. The two "best," most entertaining teams, GSW and PHX, are done. And why? Because they came up against two defensive teams. The Spurs defense is awe-inspiring. The way that they're able to shut down the Suns' 3-point attack made Nash's offense the focus of the scoring. That can only go so far.

Do I like watching San Antonio or Utah or Detroit play? No. I won't be watching many more games this post season. But they're proving that D wins it.

So okay, I guess the Bucks should pick Oden if the opportunity is there.

The Bucks should trade for Kirilenko. Bobby Simmons (salary, 3 pt. shooting) and Gadzuric for him.

Thank you trade machine...

He can be their defense beast in the post as an awesome undersized defensive 4.

AK 47 is a crybaby. He used to be my favorite fantasy player, and now he's a joke. He'll never be anything but a roleplayer now.
