Polllin': Men 12th/14th, Women 1st/0th
I really wanted to call this Smokin' Pole, but I try not to steal directly from the Colbert Report when I can. The men's AP Top 25 was revealed today, meaning that the games are ever so close away. The Huskies are 14th in the coaches' poll (third in the Big East behind Nova and WVU); just moments...
Pollin': UConn falls to No. 3 (AP), No. 4 (Coaches')
Polls in general are pretty useless. And discussing ones that come out six days before Selection Sunday and hours before most of the major conference tourneys start is particularly inane. But considering the events of last weekend, I guess it's somewhat newsworthy. I'm pretty satisfied with...
Pollin': Will Captain Quirk be a Captain?
In the wake of Gilbert Arenas' comments about Eddie Jordan (amongst other things), there's been a lot of talk regarding Gilbert and leadership. The fault for Gilbert Arenas never truly asserting himself as a leader probably falls on the shoulders of him and Eddie Jordan, but with a new coach in...
Pollin': Contract Renewal
In last week's poll, 31% of you voted that DeShawn Stevenson would be hurt the most by the loss of Eddie Jordan and leaving the Princeton offense. This week, we shift our attention from one defensive wing to another. Dominic McGuire is entering a pivotal time in his NBA career. His contract runs...
Pollin': The Jordan Effect
Back in July, 80% of you voted that Flip Saunders would be an upgrade over the departed Eddie Jordan. While there are several areas that most of you feel that Flip will improve upon, I think most of us would agree that Eddie Jordan has the upper hand when it comes to offensive scheming, thanks to...
Pollin': Will Antawn Jamison's Rebounding Numbers...Rebound?
Last week, half of you said that Brendan Haywood's summer media blitz won't impact his contract negotiations next summer. Of the remaining half, 40% of you thought that it would help him at the negotiating table next season. This week, we're going to take a look at Antawn Jamison and his work on...
Pollin': More Media Exposure = More Money?
Typically during the long months of summer most NBA players fade to the background. Most spend their time focusing on some R&R and/or working on their game to get better for next season. One exception to the rule this off-season has been Brendan Haywood. As you all know, we've carried the...
Pollin': Coach of the Year?
In any league, a great way to earn coach of the year honors is to take a woebegone team and turn them into a playoff-calibur team, if not a contender. Flip Saunders finds himself with a great opportunity to make a drastic turnaround from last year and thrust himself into Coach of the Year...
Pollin': Digging Into the Past
Last week, Dominic McGuire won the vote for who needed a jump shot more by 3 votes. There was a lot of great discussion from both sides, both on the site and through the Twitter, and I'd like to thank everyone for their insights. I still think Crittenton could use a jump shot more than McGuire,...
Pollin': Who Needs a Jump Shot More?
Last week, a whopping 79% of you said that the Wizards will trade the 5th pick for cap relief/veteran help. I guess this means I'll be spending more time playing with the trade checker than reading scoting reports. -Jake The jump shot is the most identifiable move in the game of basketball. With...
