- Bickel claims that Steph Curry would fit in well in D'Antoni's system. This is roughly the one hundredth top college player that Bickel has said would fit in well in his system - most notable predecessors have been Nate Robinson and Kevin Durant. The thing is, though, I think this is an insult, because it indicates that they have little ability breaking down opponents in the backcourt. Steph will be able to score on anyone.
- Toronto badly needs a new coach. Bosh, O'Neal, and Bargnani can't play together. Bargnani gets crushed by small forwards.
- Great analysis on Orlando, by the way. Turkoglu is the most impressive player to watch on TV, in that, you always forget about him until you watch him play. He has the full complement of offensive moves, and can score from anywhere on the court. I guess I would be willing to call him the most underrated player in the NBA.
- I guess this should be my blog. But, with the Spurs, this has to be said: Duncan has been the best big in the NBA this year. Better than Howard, Boozer, Amare, or anyone else. He's amazing.

Duncan has been the best player of his generation, hands down (from right after MJ to right before LeBron). And this includes Kobe. Duncan is a machine on both ends of the court and pretty much plays a perfect game. And in his prime, he was exceptionally athletic for a guy his size - just about the quickest big man I've ever seen. He had it all: the ball skills, the body, the intangibles, the mental makeup...you name it...
Another point about Duncan. . . He came up in that western conference with C-Webb, KG, Malone, McDyess, Shaq all patrolling the posts for their teams. And he has proven to be the best of all of them. A very underrated fact on Duncan is his stats guarding Shaq were always phenomenal. Just a beast on defense.
