The Denver Nuggets won their first game with both Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson on the court together. Anthony and SG J.R. Smith both took more shots than the traditionally shoot-first Iverson. If those three can keep that up, the interior players can take advantage of all the attention on AI, Melo and J.R. and get easy buckets and put backs. The biggest issue might be Marcus Camby's desire to prove he's the best 18-foot shooting shot blocker in the league.
Why did Terrell Owens speak out about Bill Parcells leaving? More importantly, why is the media reporting what Owens says?
Does Lane Kiffin think he'll be able to succeed with the Oakland Raiders? It's one thing to run up the score on college defenses with top 5 recruiting class talent every year. Does he understand what the Raiders have on offense? Andrew Walter at QB. Fargas and Jordan at RB. A talented pair of receivers who aren't exactly the easiest guys to get production out of on a consistent basis. And, an OL that allowed 72 sacks this season. That's 4.5 per game! The defense only accumulated 34 sacks. That's less than half as many as the offense allowed. They averaged just 10.5 ppg on offense ... that's more than 20 ppg less than the San Diego Chargers. The Raiders scored just more than 1/3 the points the Chargers scored. Unless there is a major shift in the franchise, Kiffin has no chance of getting to the playoffs in a loaded division where he is competing with San Diego, Denver and KC. Why didn't he bide his time in LA with USC and hope Pete Carroll would leave and he could slide in as head coach of the Trojans? It's more likely than moving up in the coaching ranks using the Raiders job as a stepping stone.
