No Repect For Otto Porter's 3 Point Shooting

2

If you thought omitting the NBA's leading 3pt shooter was asinine, how about an article listing the NBA's 10 best 3 point shooters in which Porter's name doesn't appear once, not even in the honorable mentions? WTH?!?

Breakdown of Sato's game

This is a nice breakdown of Sato's game. I tend to agree with the conclusion the author came to.

Not that this will lead to anything, but we can at least embarrass Ted over his inaction and make thing uncomfortable for the Teflon Don.

Thomas Boswell on Wizards offseason (ooof)

I am still amazed that ANYBODY ever thought that Durant was coming to D.C. One of two things was going to happen with KD and OKC. 1) They won a title or came so close that KD would stay there to finish the job. Or 2) he would leave to go to a team that was very close to a title -- closer than OKC was to a ring. And the Wiz were NOT going to be the team in Category Two -- somewhere realistically close to a title -- until AFTER they got KD. Listen as I repeat myself: KD was either going to stay in OKC or go to a team that was INCHES from a title. He was NOT going to go to a team that needed to ADD him just so it could DREAM of contending for a title. Those who have responsibility for analyzing this crafty KDtoDC strategy -- and selling it to the public, or not discouraging it from being peddled to the public -- are Ernie and Ted. Here are their grades on the Conceptualization and Execution of the Kevin Durant Master Plan. F- F- I stuck with "F-" because I thought "F- - - - - - - -" might be confusing. (Remember, this was a MULTI-YEAR delusional fantasy that infected team building and drafting. Did they ever really believe in it? YES, they MUST have because Plan B is...Ian Mahinmi.)

Wizards offered a contract to Greek big man Giannis Bourousis

The link is in Greek and it basically says that the Wizards made an offer to Bourousis already and that it is very tempting but it does not specify if it is guaranteed or for how many years. Bourousis had an amazing year in Euroleague playing for the Spanish team Laboral
