“Those who are victorious plan effectively and change decisively. They are like a great river that maintains its course but adjusts its flow.”
— Sun Tzu
A third of the way into this wild ride of a season, let’s take stock.
I am certain that the one constant for this NBA season will be change. The schedule, the teams, the timing, the rotations all have been deeply impacted by the cram that is the lockout shortened 2011-2012 season. Strange doings will abound. Up will become down, down will become up, Bargniani will play well and so will the Clippers. Portland will unfathomably remain injury free almost to the all star break. Granted some universal truths will hold out, the Knicks will still overpay scorers, the Nuggets and Jazz will kill people on back to backs and Michael will remain on the golf course.
