or: While the Carnival of Earl Boykins was more of an ironic kind of statement, this may be the most press that Webber gets for the rest of his career, so let’s document it here…
No better place to start than with Need4Sheed.
Follow that up with a little Detriot Bad Boys analysis of the Webber-press-conference-gate scandal. Add in DBB also soliciting reactions to Webber’s standing ovation for simply sitting in the stands. Matt is pumped. I’m hesitant. True Hoop also seems skeptical. Or, at least realistic. YaySports is in the same camp. Or maybe the other. Who knows with that guy.
Next up is SLAM with the jersey-number-scandal-gate (he’s going to be number 84, by the way).
And finally, the Fantasy:
Fantasy Basketblog provides a detailed look at the entire Pistons roster. Excellent, I say. Excellent.
Here’s a partial quote (only a smidge of the Webber part, and none of the other guys… y’know, so you’ll be forced to click over there to read the rest):
There should be no illusions here – Chris Webber is here to help this team win a championship. Championships are not won in February. As long as the other four stay healthy, and Webber provides at least something, Detroit should run away with home court. Even if they don’t, Flip Saunders will have to keep a tight leash on Webber’s minutes. Why play the guy 35 mpg and wear him out by playoff time? To expect any more than 30 mpg out of Webber given his health and the situation he’s in is probably unreasonable, but that could change with concern number two: His drive. Webber was clearly unhappy in Philly, but you know what? He was unhappy last year and still put up almost 20/10. So I don’t think this is a Vince Carter situation here – I think Webber is legitimately hurt and legitimately old and is physically incapable of putting up 20/10 again or playing 35-40 mpg anymore. Then, there’s concern number three: his fit with the club. Webber showed in Philly that he can produce in multiple systems, and that should be the case here. His assist rate fell while playing next to AI but this year he’s been back to his typical per-minute passing numbers, and that should keep up in the free-flowing Detroit offense. Much like in Sacramento, he’ll be surrounded by four guys who can take and make 20-footers, so his assists will be there, though the points might not.
Dime Magazine has some attempted analysis and then goes on to talk about some other stuff that happened in the league. Really? Other things were allowed to happen while Chris Webber signed with a new team?
There you have it, my friends. There you have it.
