2010-2011 NBA Season

I like the list too, except kay Tony Parker...

Why man di ka nahan T. Parker sis? Coz he got Eva?

[FAQ]

Why Jameer Nelson got the 10th place and why not Brandon Jennings who even played all 82 games?

Jameer Nelson's 2009-10 stats: 12.6 ppg, 3.0 rpg, 5.4 apg, .449 FG%
Brandon Jennings': 15.5 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 5.7 apg, .371 FG%

Clearly, Jameer got beat out on stats. Don't mind the FG% obviously Jameer don't take so much shots compared to Jennings. If not on stats, where did the writer based the list from? That's why I don't really pay attention to these offseason news articles on top 10s and team predictions crap.

Why man di ka nahan T. Parker sis? Coz he got Eva?

hahahhahahahha...brad, dili pud oi.. .Actually dili man ko familiar aning Eva, ang ako nabasa artista sa TV. Dili biya ko tag lantawan ug TV shows na mga drama, hilasan ko ug kapoy pud. Naka ila lang ko niya tungod ni Parker,pero wala pako kita ug salida niya.

Brad, sexist man na imo question, ug laki ni ingun dili ka mag ask sa ila asawa...hahhahahhaha Protesta ko ana.

Mao ko nako ingun na except kay Tony Parker, kay mahag last year injured man siya then si Hill man ako mahag sige nabantayan. Naa pa gani rumored na mo balhin daw siya (Parker) sa laing Team. Okay man si Tony pero para nako wala unta siya sa Top 10. Mao lang na.About ni Beasley, yah mahag high siya pag interview. Maayo unta na player may tupak lang..

About anang Jameer Nelson mao ni ila explanation:

"Nelson gets the No. 10 spot in a tough call over Devin Harris (Nets), Jason Kidd (Mavs), Stephen Curry (Warriors) and John Wall (Wizards) because we're expecting a bounceback season from Orlando's mighty mite. He has struggled ever since injuring his shoulder in February 2009, but before that Nelson had emerged as a deadeye shooter, a sturdy defender and Orlando's emotional leader. For the Magic to be a true contender again, he needs to re-assert his leadership and take control of the offense from Vince Carter."

About sa Criteria, Here:

It's time for our annual lists of the top 10 players at each position. Let's start with the point guards, a position that has added great depth with the influx of talented young playmakers in recent years, though a few 30-somethings still crack the list. The ratings, of course, are entirely subjective. We're not even going to pretend to have arrived at some pseudo-scientific conclusions based on empirical data, like some websites. Really, it's just the opinion of one guy who watches a lot of basketball-- this from the writer's own word. FOXSports NBA editorJohn Galinsky

I like Jennings over Jameer too.. Apparently, the criteria was based on the writer's opinion.

Brian Scalabrine headed to Bulls

Free-agent forward Brian Scalabrine has agreed to a non-guaranteed contract with the Chicago Bulls, according to a Yahoo Sports report citing a league source.

The source told Yahoo Sports that new Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, formerly a Boston Celtics assistant, wanted Scalabrine and pushed hard for him with Bulls general manager Gar Forman and vice president John Paxson.

Scalabrine, 32, spent five years with the Celtics and had limited playing time last season. He averaged 3.3 points and 2.1 rebounds per game in nine seasons with the Celtics and New Jersey Nets and made four trips to the NBA Finals, including a title-winning campaign with Boston in 2008.

Looks like Beasley and Stuckey are delightfully sharing dope.


Michael Beasley: "We are the team to beat"

Since moving to Minnesota, according to his general manager, Michael Beasley has supposedly given up his old habits. And by "old habits," I think you know what I mean.

But then he goes and says something like this which makes you think maybe he hasn't.

"Honestly, and I know a lot of people are not going to like that fact that I'm going to say this but I think we are the team to beat," Beasley told Timberwolves.com in an interview. "You know, that's just me and my ego speaking. I think the Lakers are the defending champs two years in a row, I think the Lakers still hold that title. It's nice to see somebody try to fight back but as of now, the Lakers are still the team to beat."

So you are the team to beat, but then you're not? You have to admire Beasley's confidence though. And as a player, why shouldn't you think your team will be good? It's not very fun to go into a season admitting you're going to stink. But even despite egos and confidence, most people still have some sense of reality, something Beasley evidently does not.

But on one hand, you have the Timberwolves writing open letters admitting they aren't going to be winning anything important any time soon, then on the other, a player is saying they're the best team out there. One of those left hand doesn't know what the right is doing sort of things, huh?

Say it again with me just for fun - Minnesota Timberwolves: the team to beat in 2010-11.

Rodney Stuckey: "On paper, we are the best team"

Ah, mid-September. It's the wonderful time where not only are fanbases hopelessly optimistic, but even the players get a little sense of unbridled bias that leads to a lapse in reality.

Take Michael Beasley for example, who mentioned that the Wolves are the team to beat last week. Or Rodney Stuckey, who told Dime Magazine in an interview that "On paper, we are the best team in the league."

As Kurt Helin of Pro Basketball Talk wisely put it, "What paper? Rolling?"

Now again, this isn't something new. Brash players tend to talk... brashly in September. And why not? You're already in first place, your front office (supposedly, theoretically) made you better and if you just play like you're supposed to, everything will be alright.

But it doesn't make it any less fun to point out these comments from players. The Pistons should be better. Last year was tough but "on paper," they improved. Who knows, in the East, anybody could realistically be a low-seed playoff team. Especially on paper.

Still, do names like Stuckey, Charlie Villanueva, Ben Gordon, Tracy McGrady and Ben Wallace really look that good on paper? As good as Chris Bosh, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and whoever else is on that one team? Or even as good as Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Rajon Rondo? Or as good as Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Ron Artest and Andrew Bynum? I think I've made my point here.

It's a curious thing as to why players make bold statements like these. Is it to try and fire up fanbases? Is it to try and develop and us versus the world mentality when everyone tells you you're crazy? Is it just a confidence thing? Or could they possibily, actually believe it?

Whatever the answer is on that, the lesson here is, professional athletes don't always speak with the head, but more often with the heart. And really, there's nothing wrong with that.
