Isn't Smith one of the biggest NBA owner lap dog writers out there? When was the last time Sam was critical about the Bulls?

He gets endorsement contracts because he is so good? Why do we think he is so good? Because he plays well? What happens if he doesn't play well? Do we think he isn't good anymore? Does he have endorsement contracts anymore? So why would he play badly on purpose? Wait. He gets endorsement contracts because he is so good?

Why do we think he is so good? Because he plays well?

What happens if he doesn’t play well? Do we think he isn’t good anymore? Does he have endorsement contracts anymore?

So why would he play badly on purpose?

I wrote this at the end of a long day during an absurdly long week. I had no clue where it was going or what it would end up being. I still don't know what it's saying (as I stated before the actual article). It's mainly just me spewing thoughts about LeBron after he showed no effort in a key playoff game. I fully expect and hope he'll come back in the next two games of this series and prove this article to be worth nothing. But at the same time, we're fed this crap about how he just wants to win over everything and it's just not the truth in my opinion. If you think I'm wrong about anything or everything in here, that's cool with me. However, you just ripped this blog for being wannabe coaches or hayseed, credulous fans. THAT'S what I disagree with and have a problem accepting. Outside of myself, this site has some very smart and entertaining writers that know their basketball. I don't understand why people complain about the way a site is, rip it and then keep coming back to it to continue reading each post. There are plenty of ways to rip this post without generalizing this site as not worth anything. I have no problem with anybody disagreeing with the post.

F PER and its relatives and derivatives--points, rebounds, assists, blocks, steals, and a pair of open eyes are more than enough to understand this game. Stat geeks are baseball territory. Stuff like your obnoxious highlighted diagrams of failed play executions are the kind of naive shit some two bit coach lays on his juco squad. In short this blog alternates between the perspective of the wannabe coach and maven and--as exemplified in this post-- the most hayseed, credulous fan. Can anybody write well about the NBA? Is it even worth it? 'Cause that would be some dark shit, and not these portentous Willy Loman analogies. …By the way, an article like this makes me mistrust all of your obscure statistical analysis.
