Checking In

I know it's been a while, and for that I apologize to my legions of fan who patiently waits for my next post. Unfortunately, I've been suffering a prolonged bout of laconism, as I am wont to do.

My last thoughtful post was about the all-star game, and who I thought should have played. I put some thought into it, and was a little annoyed that NBA coaches, who choose the reserves, are apparently retarded. So annoyed in fact, that I didn't even bother choosing all-stars for both conferences.

I've since decided to move in a different direction as far as content goes. Instead of being a poor man's SI.com, ESPN.com, or what have you, with league-wide, team-by-team content, I'm going to adopt a more freedarko-like model, in which I riff about whatever interests me. After all, I don't watch enough NBA games to have a well-rounded and informed opinion on every team, so why do I even write previews and reviews pretending I do?

When I first created David Basketball Thoughts, I intended to write about issues that weren't getting enough attention, or to question widely held assumptions about the NBA, or basketball in general. I think part of the reason I neglected my blog was because I stopped writing about the kind of stuff that interested me: how Lakers fans are annoying and delusional, how Bruce Bowen is an ass, who's over/underrated, how the Cavaliers were under the radar for a good part of this season.

Anyway, I hope to start writing more soon, starting with a review of some of the first round. Or something else. I haven't decided yet.
