Pace: 2
Motion: 4

All else same

The JNR: If the opportunity presents itself, absolutely I will try to improve the bench.

The JNR: I won't speak to the obvious trolling second part of the question, but to answer the first: I was impressed with their scoring. I'd like to see it translate in the regular season.

GWR: If you don't value your fellow GMs enough to ask them real questions in their pressers, instead relying on inside jokes, do you expect them to give you the same courtesy?

GWR: Are you worried at all about how much stronger the western conference got?

GWR: Offense looked good in preseason. Do you think that's something that can hold up going into the season?

GWR: The two towers lineup seems to work well only about half the time. What about Jack and Buck's skillsets do you believe complement each other?

The JNR wakes up to find that the press has gathered for another press conference. He rubs his eyes and yawns.

The JNR: Oh man, I swear I just finished one of these. Maybe I did and went back to sleep and that was the problem. I have been paying a lot of attention in the offseason since we got to ...

GWR: Do you think Terry Cummings is a lock for Rookie of the Year?

WESTERN CONFERENCE TIME!

Dallas Mavericks
Last Year's Record: 33-49
Highest EWA Last Year: George Gervin (24.1)
Biggest EWA Added: Bernard King (28.2)
Biggest EWA Lost: Truck Robinson (6.5)
MATH!: 33 + 28.2 - 6.5 = 54.7. 55-27
Conclusion: This is one of those things where math proves the eye ...

EWA! What a rating. It stands for Estimated Wins Added, and it's pretty much flawless. There are no holes in this logic. If you have a high EWA, you are clearly an amazing player who is responsible for your team's success. While stats like PER and TS% have natural limitations, EWA is about one thing ...

The JNR: He's our centerpiece. I want him to be the face of the Clippers going forward.

What kind of aspirations do you hold for this team build? Do you anticipate any major changes, or are you going to ride this team through their prime?


The JNR: I'm sure things will change. I have a few ideas, but I want to see how it works this year. As far as aspirations, I mean, I want to win ...

The JNR: I think he will be very important offensively. My initial plan is to have him play the 2 and 3 off the bench as a supersub.

GWR: What do you make of last years' finals pitting two teams that did not have as many lauded talents as other teams? Do you think your experience was the difference?

The JNR is too tired to do a big presentation. So instead he stands at a podium, rubbing his temples as if he has a migraine, which he probably does.

The JNR : All right, all right. Let's recap. We started off the season hot. We cooled down severely. James Edwards got hurt. We didn't get any ...
