The NBA Is Back

October 31, 2006

For all the talk about the authenticity of college sports, I can’t help it.  I’m an NBA junkie.  I have a lot of loyalties, too.  It’s not that I’m fickle, but my stints in Michigan and Texas, as well as years spent being a Barkley/KJ fan have given me an affinity for the Pistons, Mavs, and Suns.  And now, I’ll do what I can to support the Sonics as long as I can too.   Right now, we’re watching the first half of the Suns-Lakers game, but I’ll leave you with some glorious news about my new enemies, the Miami Heat.

Kirk Hinrich — who signed a five-year extension just hours before tip-off — scored 26 points, Chris Duhon added 20 and the Bulls delivered a huge stunner in beating the defending NBA champion Heat 108-66 in Tuesday night’s season opener.

This is great stuff for all of the forlorn Mavs fans out there

Still, the rancor surrounding the pivotal game five of the recent NBA Finals suggests a more detailed look at the calls (and non-calls) is warranted. Moreover one of the big problems with evaluating the refs is that no one is publishing detailed numbers on the calls — it’s either griping about one specific play, or general comments about “star treatment” or “bias for one team” without any factual evidence. I hope to change that today…
