NBA 2005 - A Look In The Rear View Mirror

When you make the investment in the NBA League Pass, it means you are committed or perhaps should be. This NBA season is summed up in two words "quality" and "change." I cannot recall another season where player moves, player suspensions and player injuries so dramatically allowed teams to move from the soccer jerseys
bottom to the top, and visa versa. It was a year of controversy, where one game early in the season, played in the Detroit Palace, got very scary and created a tremendous power swing in the Eastern Conference. These are my notes and reflections of a season gone by.
The first month of the season, teams were scoring in very low numbers. As the players rounded into shape, the pace picked up. Shaq didn't need to wait, he had revenge on his mind, as he was out to show his former teammate Kobe and new little buddy Dwayne Wade his true value. He thinned down in South Beach (LA East) before the MTV awards, and shocked everyone by his "slim" appearance.

The soap opera continued from there. The team with the best 2004 record, the Minnesota Timberwolves didn't make the playoffs, and mid-way coach Flip Saunders got sent off. This was a good year for guards, as Eric Dampier summed it up saying he was the best center in the west as Shaq departed.
