		<title>Playbook: Out of bounds baseline set 1A</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This set is designed to put real pressure on a defense on a baseline, out of bounds play, and should result in either a high quality shot, or free throws for the offensive team. It has many variations and options, including dribble penetration by [1] or [3]. If the defense denies execution of this scenario, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lebron is no Michael &#8212; Or Kobe for that matter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on record as strongly disapproving of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh taking advantage of Florida&#8217;s tax laws to stack a team. I know some guys are okay with it, but then again some guys are okay with baseball stars illegally using performance enhancing drugs as well. A lot of fans just don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jazz Fans did indeed boo John Stockton when drafted</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When the Utah Jazz used drafted Gordon Haywood at #9, Jazz fans booed. I personally think Haywood was a great pick, and wrote about it here. However, when I talked with the boo birds on comment boards throughout the Internet, not only do they insist Hayward was a bad pick, but &#8230; Virtually every Jazz [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shaq a Laker again?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's not just that Shaq wants another ring, he wants at least as many rings as Kobe, and obviously becoming a Laker again isn't going to do that for Shaq. Then again, what better way to retire than on top, and defeating your former teammates in the process: LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Zyndruna Ilgauskas?

Surely THAT has to be as good as matching Kobe in ring count!]]></description>

		<title>LeBron, Leaving, Loyalty and Treachery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Loyalty is an interesting topic. David Robinson assured the San Antonio Spurs that he&#8217;d be a Spur for life, and gave them the financial head room to keep Tim Duncan. And this year Manu Ginobli didn&#8217;t even test his worth in the free agent market, he just re-signed, and remains one of the NBA&#8217;s best [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lebron chooses the Rosie Ruiz shortcut to glory</title>
		<description><![CDATA[LeBron will certainly get his championships, but he won’t really EARN them.

Not like Michael Jordan earned his.

Or not like Magic Johnson and Larry Bird earned theirs, facing worthy nemesises in a battle that wrenched from both sides every bit of possible effort, heart, blood, sweat and tears to earn an NBA championship.]]></description>

		<title>Gordon Hayward: a great pick for the Utah Jazz</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jazz fans MISTAKENLY believe they lost to the Lakers in the 2010 playoffs because the Jazz lacked size.

That's not really the case.

Against the Jazz, Pau Gasol averaged 23.5 points, and Andrew Bynum averaged 7.8 points.

That's not exactly domination.

While Gordon Hayward obviously doesn't meet the Jazz's need for a top quality center, Hayward has a tremendous upside Jazz fans should be excited about.]]></description>

		<title>Defending Coach Jerry Sloan from so-called Utah Jazz fans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People need to quit bashing Sloan for their imaginary perception of him, and wake up to what he's done in reality. Seriously, if the Jazz were to let go of Jerry Sloan today, and if Phil Jackson and Doc Rivers were to retire this summer like they are both talking about doing...

You can bet both the Lakers and the Celtics would give serious thought to hiring Jerry Sloan as their new head coach.]]></description>

		<title>An open letter to disappointed Celtics fans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Internet has been inundated by bitter Celtics fans declaring an NBA conspiracy handed the Finals to the Lakers. One fan wrote that he is not going to ever spend his hard earned money on the NBA again.

Sigh.

I'm going to guess his "hard earned money" isn't earned by analyzing basketball.]]></description>

		<title>Understanding Game 7 (of the 2010 NBA Finals)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Question: which team lead all teams in the 2010 NBA playoffs in free throw attempts? Answer: the Boston Celtics. In fact, they had 40 more free throw attempts than the Lakers through the playoffs. Here are some other post game 7 observations. In the regular season, the Lakers committed the 3rd fewest fouls in the [...]]]></description>
