The Charlotte Bobcats have just finished the most embarrassing season in the history of the NBA. They won a measly seven games all season. Paul Silas blames most of it as being a young team with no time to practice. I will admit Charlotte had their share of injuries but to say they don't have practice time is absolutely appalling.
The average team has a shoot-a-round everyday before a game where they go to the arena that they are playing at that day and shoot and get accustomed to the arena. Why can't they practice then? I don't think the Bobcats have a practice problem but a evaluation problem.
Michael Jordan who is the greatest basketball player ever in the NBA just has no ability at all to evaluate others. When he was the General Manager of the Wizards he made them into a horrible team and they are bad now as a result of how far down he sank them. Now that he owns the Bobcats he has his buddies in charge and of course that says to me that they are yes men to him.
What Jordan needs to do is be the owner , hire a General Manager who knows the NBA basketball talent. Tell him how much money he can spend and get out of the way. Go sit in the luxury box and act like the owner. He is too much like Jerry Jones of the Cowboys and meddles because he's got money. Most good owners of any sport most of the time you only see them when they are there picking up the championship trophies. The ones that go stand on the side lines don't win diddly squat.
The NBA playoffs start today and my final four picks are out west San Antonia and Oklahoma City. In the east Miami and Chicago. Tim Duncan is going to win his last NBA title with the Spurs this year and call it a career.
