A lot of it has been brought up on this board, but the facts to support it and the succinctness of the column shows why he's the one of the best.

Good read, i think someone dropped this knawledge in another thread also, i think Calinks.

The first person on that site to comment the blog is a very smart person, i wouldnt be surprised at all if it was a member of this site. He goes to breakdown every position and who should be starting and coming off the bench.

At the five you put in a big guy. No not Craig Smith. A big guy, a center. Really doesn't matter too much who it is. Mad Dogg, Doleac or Richard, although I'd have to say Richard would have to be the most logical choice. Chris Richard plays under the radar, but really does a decent job. What more could one ask out of their rookie? He also brings a certain advantage in relative quickness for his size. How nice it would be to see one of our bigs get back on D. Why doesn

Again, I understand I've said all of this before and am "beating a dead horse" as they say (unfortunately a very fitting analogy for this Wolves team right now). But Al Jefferson and the Minnesota Timberwovles play much much better with a legitimate center on the floor. Today, Richard and Madsen played center for a combined 21:08. During that time, Dallas outscored Minnesota by 2 points. In the 26:52 Madsen or Richard was not playing center, Dallas outscored Minnesota by 21 points.


good x and o concepts.

But what the coach needs to remember is that the hearts of players grow, like their confidence, when they are put in a position to succeed.


good writing skills

His piece on Shad was very good also
