NBA Loser Wish List

As 94% or so of the NBA teams are at home, or the beach, and not playing in the NBA Finals.  So the teams that we close, but yet so far away – everyone sing it -  must start to think about what the playoff loser needs to make the leap to the Finals.

Cleveland Cavs

• Scottie Pippen – or someone to take that role.
• A mid range jumper and a post game for LeBron James.
• Someone over 6’5″ who can play perimeter defense.
• Charles Oakley – see Scottie Pippen.

Denver Nuggets

• JR Smith to pull his head from his butt.
• Chauney Billups to stop jacking ill-advised three and get the ball to Carmelo.
• To stop making stupid plays and fouls.

Boston Celtics

• Two new knees for KG.
• Brain Scalabrine in street clothes.
• For everyone named KG, Paul Pierce and Jesus Shuttlesworth to become younger.
• Doc Rivers to learn how to coach.

Houston Rockets

• A really talent doctor.
• Trade Tracy McGrady.
• Ron Artest to stop jacking ill-advised three and get the ball to Yao.
• Good medical insurance.

Atlanta Hawks

• Decide what kind of team they want to be.
• A trade for a real post player – get rid of Marvin Williams.
• Mike Bibby to take less money.
• Another All-Star level player.
  

Dallas Mavericks

• Depth in the post with better rebounding – there is another German in Chris Kaman who is pretty good and may need a new home.
• Jason Kidd to continue shooting well.
• Josh Howard to play like Jason Terry.

Miami Heat

• Say good-bye to Jermaine O’Neal.
• Find experienced player through in free agency or the draft.
• Another Dwayne Wade – just 6’11″.

Portland Trailblazers

• A better point guard or Jerryd Bayless to get sometime.
• Travis Outlaw to continue evolving.
• Rudy, Rudy, Rudy!
• To go back a couple years a pick Kevin Durant instead of Greg Oden.

Philadelphia 76ers

• Sign Andre Iquodala!  SERIOUSLY!
• Elton to play some basketball!
• A consistent shooting guard.

San Antonio Spurs

• Tim Duncan to reverse his aging.
• Manu.  More Manu!
• Another scoring option as unless Duncan can take care of his issue.
• Gregg Papovich to shave that damned beard!

Chicago Bulls

• Make a decision on Kirk Hinrich and Ben Gordan.  Please!
• A shooter guard over 6’4″.

New Orleans Hornets

• Bring back Jeremy Pargo!
• Some other than Chris Paul to score 20 points a game.
• Low post toughness.

Detroit Pistons

• Get younger, quick.
• Let Allen Iverson and Rasheed Wallace go.  It’s time boys.
• Athletic, slashing shooter guard who can get to the rim.

Utah Jazz

• Sign Carlos Boozer for less money.
• See last point for the Pistons!
• A legit 6’11″ low post player who only blocks and grab rebounds – Dwight Howard?
