Here are some words to describe the 2011-12 Washington Wizards, as they’re current state suggests: young, raw, inexperienced, talented, athletic, irregular. Where they stand right now is both frustrating and hopeful, with their best days ahead and some difficult times in the immediate future. Only one of those is a near guarantee, however; unfortunately, it’s the latter. Even though things look up with their franchise superstar in place and a growing assortment of suitable compliments around him, nothing is assured in the world of professional sports. But the Wizards have something most other teams in their position don’t, and that’s a tried and true blueprint for success. Mirroring it won’t be easy, but with the most difficult to find piece already in place, it’s certainly a possibility.

The team Washington should study and study hard happens to be a fine model. The Chicago Bulls.  … [visit site to read more]

Lets look at some numbers quick.

Celtics, Lakers = 10 games each

Heat = 9 games

Mavericks and Knicks = 8 games

Bulls = 7 games

Cavaliers + Rockets + Pacers + Bucks + Timberwolves + Nets + Sixers + Wizards = 0 games.

That’s just the TNT games. I’m sure the ESPN schedule is approximately the same. Good thing the lockout solved the parity problem, otherwise I’d take the time to say that lack of national exposure lowers team’s chances at free agents/fans/revenue.

Full TNT schedule after the jump.  … [visit site to read more]

Get ready, Andre Miller makes his first trip to the Rose Garden as the Nuggets' new PG in the season's first week. Photo courtesy of OregonLive.

The day has come. The NBA schedule was released today, which means that those last few fans who were holding their collective breath anticipating that somehow at the last second the season would vaporize in much the same way it seemed to materialize not two weeks ago can go ahead and exhale. The calendars have been aligned, the flights and hotel rooms have been booked, the season ticket sales have begun.

We knew we were going to have a season when the tentative agreement was reached, and we knew when it was going to start only a short time later. Now we know who Portland gets to play. Joe Freeman of the Oregonian and Ben at Blazersedge have very nice breakdowns (here and here respectively), so I won’t get in to that here.

Since I’m coming in a little late to the party this evening I thought I’d pick out a couple of games to look at specifically. These aren’t likely to be the most important games of the upcoming season, but they’re ones that I think might be worth keeping an eye on, and if you’re the type to do so, maybe marking your calendar  for.
