M Gasol or B Lopez better than Kendrick Perkins? Offensively sure, but there’s more to a game than offense. PER doesn’t cover everything including team defense….

Love and Landry over Antwan Jamison? Silly.

The Jazz, ever since their appearance in the WCF a few years back, have struck me as a weird team… lots and lots of talent, Hall of Fame coach, but somehow they manage to not be an elite team each year. Either somebody’s getting overrated somewhere along the line, or there’s one glue guy missing that is going to push them over the top.

Interesting. I’ve been looking again at the ESPN site power rankings with all their statistical indicators–right now the Jazz are second, which . . . well, as you may know, I am a Jazz fan, but I’m a little worried about this ranking. But maybe. Maybe we’re second, and the Lakers are just that much better, so being second doesn’t matter. Maybe their awesome three players, with the Kobe factor added in (much as it pains me to say it), are just better than our awesome three.

Good post.

I like this, because it adds some credence to the idea that it’s not the strength twelve-deep on your roster that matter so much — it’s more about how strong your roster is, say, three-deep.

Obviously it helps to have capable backups, but in their heyday the San Antonio Spurs could have started me and my 11-month-old baby alongside Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili and probably still done okay.
