Basketball from a fan’s perspective
“Don’t let the sum total of your existence be eight to 10 pounds of air”-John Thompson the late Georgetown coach.
The Lakers could just as easily be the 2nd seed and the Suns resting at 7. Unfortunately, no matter the sport injuries are part of the game, they can certainly impact a team’s performance. It is difficult to measure the impact of a hobbled Chris Paul or a less than healthy LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Athletes of this caliber cannot be simply replaced in the lineup and a team moves forward. Those named and others are the Heart and Soul of their respective teams. If Barkley and others wish to provide me information, it would be nice if they considered the BIG PICTURE.
The sale of the Wolves franchise was to include a provision the team would remain in Minnesota. According to this shareholder that is not the case, he claims there is no stipulation written specifying the information just provided you. I can only speculate which certainly might cause me to draw an inaccurate conclusion. Are the partners pulling a Greg Lukenbill on Wolves fans, that’s okay if you don’t remember Lukenbill? He purchased the Kansas City Kings, claimed there was no intention to move the franchise. Within two years Lukenbill applied to the NBA for permission to move the team to his home Sacramento.
We’ve read several complaints about aspects of his game but are they valid? If we just look at the numbers his FG percentage and scoring is slightly down from last season. This could be the result of playing starter minutes for the Lakers versus a reserve role with the Thunder. In closing allow me to display my bias, Schroeder is one of those athletes I’ve always admired. First with the Hawks and later with the Thunder he provided proof he could play at the NBA level. His biggest asset to me is his speed, end line to end line in a foot race I would match him against Russell Westbrook, John Wall and anyone out there. In closing this brief account remember the headline, I certainly will.
