-------------------- December 30, 2001 End of 2001 NBA resolutions There are more pressing matters than the NBA requiring attention, that we should resolve to tend to. Yet as we all know, it's the little things that make a difference. So desiring for seemingly favorable changes in basketball should go ways to improving other things in life. Since the NBA is what we know best here, the following are resolutions for each of its teams we'd like to see happen. Kings - Chris Webber resolving to make the paint his personal fort. Raptors - Vince Carter will resolve to keep driving to the basket even when being slaughtered. Torontonians will resolve to just be happy for Tracy McGrady. Sixers - Allen Iverson will resolve to do a better job of gauging his shots. Lakers - Shaquille O'neal will resolve to make peace with David Robinson, and just turn the other cheek to all his critics. Clippers - Lamar Odom will leave the green hash alone. Hawks - Kukoc will resolve to play defense like there was no tomorrow. Warriors - Antawn Jamison will resolve to not offer excuses and start playing like the player the team tought they were signing to an 8 figure deal. Celtics - Antoine Walker will resolve to become more of a paint warrior. Nets - Players will decide to forgive Marbury for writing "All alone 33" on his kicks. Wizards - They will make a resolution to give Kwame Brown a chance at the Rookie of the year crown. Magic - They should resolve to "examine a gift horse in the mouth" from now on. Heat - Pat riley resolving to adopt a new school attitude. Hornets - Hoops fans in the state of North Carolina will make the resolution to give some loyalty, and dues to the best players in the state.

Mavericks - Tim Hardaway will resolve to dissipate into thin air, all those bitter feelings of Miami and Pat Riley. It was there that he became a Prince. Timberwolves - Loren Woods will make the resolution to commit himself to the NBA until he's actually not wanted any more. Wonders can happen with enough determination. Rockets - Eddie Griffin will shed some light on his attitude, if he carried it to the pros with him. Nuggets - Antonio McDyess will resolve to practice loyalty - even when Jason Kidd drills his ear from New Jersey. Grizzlies - They will resolve to focus on playing games on the court not in the front office. All those lottery picks and no rookie of the year, or something to brag about?

Bucks - George Karl will hire an exorcist to chase away the defense shortening demons, and work on a piece accord with Glen Robinson. Fans will resolve to vote for all-stars players who are really gutting it out, not players they're fond of.
