Blogging with the Enemy: Project Spurs

By Red Coleman On December 26, 2011 · Add Comment · In Dec.2011

The season is upon us! I’m sure everyone had their fill of family, food, and NBA action yesterday. Ok…maybe not that last one just yet. Even though I enjoyed seeing real NBA games on my television, it still wasn’t my team, so I think I can handle seeing more.

The Grizzlies tip-off their season tonight in San Antonio against the Spurs. In order to get some insight into the team we last saw in the playoffs last year, we turned [...]

Vasquez Out, Pondexter In

By Lee Eric Smith On December 22, 2011 · 13 Comments · In Dec.2011

My heart sunk a bit when Chuck Hayes, who played for Houston last season, signed a deal with the Sacramento Kings. Here’s some screwy NBA math that shouldn’t add up but does:

Chuck Hayes is 6’6″.

Chuck Hayes plays CENTER.

Granted, Center is not an ideal position for a 6’6″ guy, but look at his numbers: Last season, he started 63 games, played in 74. Averaged 8 ppg/8 rpg in 27 minutes a night. The year before (09-10), he [...]
