(A Look at Past NBA Champions)
(Fishing report for Sept. 9)

This article was inspired by Doug Thonus's recent article . It's certainly an interesting read, and it has an optimistic look at the  future. As anyone that has read my comments or articles in the past can attest to, I am more optimistic than some, but I still don't really believe the Bulls have a great chance at a championship this year. I'd like to address a few issues I have with Doug's article, and then suggest an alternative way of looking at these championship rosters.

Lakes CLEAR (Pierce) : Folks looking for a change from trolling, can try anchoring in water about 45 feet deep. Look for fish 25-30 feet down. Use a small orange still-fishing spinner tipped with a maggot and a red egg. HARTS: A few crappie are being caught. Try using a red- or yellow-and-white crappie jig. People are catching <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Louboutin-Neiman>Christian Louboutin Neiman</a>  yellow perch using a worm fished under a bobber. The catfish action has been slowed by warm water, but should pick up soon. LEECH: The trout action has been good to very good. Brook and rainbow trout are hitting scud, Carey Special, mayfly emerger, bloodworm and caddis patterns. The best surface action has been midday. MINERAL: The trout action has improved. Most people are still fishing off the bottom. Use a combination of a worm, marshmallow and a Power Egg on a 4-foot leader. RATTLESNAKE: The fishing has improved as the cool nights have lowered the water temperature. Try fishing black or maroon leeches in the deep portions of the lake. WASHINGTON: The fishing has been good in the waters of Magnuson Park in Seattle. People are catching lots of yellow perch and rock bass, and the smallmouth bass action has been very good as well.Rivers COWLITZ: The action has been fair, based on state creel sampling. Anglers are landing a mix of chinook, coho and steelhead, but the numbers of fish have not been great. GREEN: This has been one of the best rivers right now for consistent catches of nice, bright coho. Anglers are having success fishing in the morning with eggs. PUYALLUP: Some fish are being caught, but the action is far from red hot. SNOHOMISH: People making the drive north had some success over the weekend. Most people are drifting jigs under a bobber, while others are using spoons. <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Cheap-True-Religion-Jeans-From-China>Cheap True Religion Jeans From China</a>  YAKIMA: The fly action has been very good in recent days. Look for the trout holding in seams and pools in the middle of the river, now that flows are low. There have been hatches of caddis, yellow mayflies and crane flies. Terrestrial patterns like grasshoppers, ants and beetles also are effective.Salt water FLY FISHING: The beach action is starting to pick up as the coho are returning, especially along the eastside of Puget Sound at spots like Browns Point and Dash Point. Some fish also are being caught in the Tacoma Narrows. Try using bright, sparse flies 3-4 inches long, such as a stinger Clouser. SEKIU: The coho fishing has been good since the weekend.  NORTH SOUND: Daniel Lejnieks won the Edmonds Coho Derby s $5,000 first prize with an 11.15-pound fish. There were 331 fish weighed in during Saturday s derby. SOUTH SOUND: People are catching far more coho than chinook in the Tacoma area, just not in great numbers according to state creel sampling. The salmon fishing in the Olympia <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Discounted-Michael-Kors-Purses>Discounted Michael Kors Purses</a>  area has been slow. WESTPORT: The action since the weekend has been mostly for coho. Charter boats are running north about 15 miles from the harbor mouth, then heading west about 8 miles in water about 150 feet deep. The tuna action has slowed as the fish have moved south and far offshore for now.

First, I have a problem with Doug's argument for the  not having a star.

If you pro-rated out the way they played this year to a whole career and removed past accomplishments, they'd have zero hall of fame players. The fact Duncan used to be a superstar and Ginobili used to be an all-star caliber player is irrelevant.
+
−
I have a problem with this because the reason they would not be high caliber players is mostly due to lack of playing time in <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Tory-Burch-Rabbit-Fur-Boots>Tory Burch Rabbit Fur Boots</a>  the regular season. is one year removed from averaging 21.3 pts, 11.3 reb, and 3.2 blks per 36 minutes. While he didn't quite get there this year, unless you think his ability level dropped drastically in one offseason, Duncan still has a ton of inherent talent. He simply needs to be rested more in the regular season. Furthermore, Duncan put up a 21.1 PER on 56.8 TS% while playing 32+MPG in the playoffs this season. If he did that throughout the regular season, he would have been one of only  to do so. The bottom line is that Duncan still had the ability to play like a top 20 player, and he did it when it counted. This overlooks  as well. He put up 20pts, 7ast, on 55.5% TS% per 36 minutes. Those are great numbers for a PG and would easily make him an all star (which he was by the way). Manu's PER 36 numbers were great too. 19.5pts and 6.8 ast per 36 minutes. That means the Spurs had two guys that were capable of putting up 20 pt 7 ast games when given the minutes. Just because the Spurs were underused, doesn't mean they shouldn't be valued.
+

I liked how Doug looked at how many superstar, star, and fringe all star type players each team had. However, when you start comparing the Bulls to the <a href=http://www.radiorcs.com/page.php?sale=Kate-Spade-Designs>Kate Spade Bag</a>  2011 Mavs or the current Spurs team, I think it's important to know what kind of depth/role players/borderline stars each team has.
+
−
The league average in the 2013 season (couldn't find current) for percentage of field goals assisted was 60.6% and the average TS% was 53.6%. What I want to find is how many players among each teams top 8 rotation players that were able to effectively get their own shot. I looked to find players who were assisted on less than 55% of their FGs while maintaining a league average (I went with 54%) TS%. I could have been more advanced with this, but this seemed simple enough. Here is what I found:
+
−
+
−
13/14 Spurs
+
−
Ginobli - 54% assisted, 59.0 TS%
+
−
Parker - 36% assisted, 55.5 TS%
+
−
Leonard - 59% assisted, 60.2 TS%
+
−
Diaw - 65% asisted, 57.8 TS%
+
−
Duncan - 67% assisted, 53.5 TS%
+
−
Green - 83% assisted, 58.0 TS%
+
−
Mills - 57% assisted, 58.8 TS%
+
−
Marco - 80% assisted,60.5 TS%
+
−
Splitter - 67% assisted, 57.2 TS%
+
−
I used 9 here because the personnel varied a bit in the regular season as opposed to the playoffs. As you can see, Ginobli and Parker seem adept at creating for themselves <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Online-Sale>Gucci Online Sale</a>  and while Leonard doesn't quite make the cutoff, my suspicion is that if he were a bit more aggressive offensively, his TS% would drop a bit, but he would be assisted a bit less. Mills barely misses the cutoff as well. From my perspective, it seems the Spurs have two players that can get their own shot, two in Leonard and Mills that are borderline, and Duncan and Splitter have decent numbers for post players whose assisted % is usually a bit higher.

10-11 Mavs
