Za Denver bi mnogo pametnije bilo da završe četvrti na Zapadu, nego treći. -Ako završe treći, moraće prvo preko Minesote koja nije slučajno dvije godine u nizu u finalu konferencije, a onda i preko San Antonija bez prednosti domaćeg terena. Ako bi uopšte prošli kroz te dvije serije, odigrali bi vjerovatno 12-14 utakmica i poprilično potrošeni bi išli na Oklahomu koja bi vrv. izgubila plafon dva meča u prve dvije serije. I u tom scenariju bi Oklahoma bila ozbiljan favorit protiv Denvera. -Ako završe četvrti, imaće zicer protiv Hjustona u prvoj rundi. Roketsi izgledaju užasno i ovaj skor ne pokazuju koliko su zapravo neuvjerljivi. Sumnjam da bi oni ovakvi uzeli i dva meča Denveru u seriji. I onda potpuno svjež dočekuješ seriju sa Oklahomom koju si prošle godine odveo u sedam mečeva sa povređenim Gordonom i bez ikakve pomoći sa klupe što ove sezone nije slučaj. I ako bi prošao, u finalu konferencije bi nakon toga bio favorit ko god ti dođe, plus napunjen samopouzdanjem do vrha. Obrni okreni, ti ako hoćeš u NBA finale, moraćeš da preskočiš Oklahomu na ovaj ili onaj način. A mislim da bi šanse Denvera za izbacivanje Oklahome bile bar 10-15% veće u polufinalu konferencije, nego u finalu. Plus kao što rekoh, mislim da je Minesota mnogo veća prijetnja nego Hjuston u svakom pogledu.








Andrea Agnelli in a documentary 12 years ago warning of decline in Italian football: “Every cycle, if it is not renewed, ends and what we had was the inability to develop a real vision for future football in the years of maximum splendor”. In short, during Italy’s best years there was no plan to build for the future. The system was content with success, with no plans towards adapting for the future. Today we are paying for his ignorance. Agnelli back then compared Serie A to the Premier league: “In Premier League is a League to which the development task is delegated by the League itself, but it is also given all the authority and authority to be able to carry out that task". A clear and centralized structure, which has allowed constant growth. On the contrary, the Italian system appears fragmented and not very incisive: "In our country the League is the total sum of many ideas where for some it is enough to improve the distribution of the previous year by a couple of million instead of thinking about how to create 500 million of surplus value from the Serie A League". A limited vision, which favors the short term. This approach prevents the development of ambitious projects. Without a strong guide, any reform remains unfinished. And the gap with the top championships continues to widen. The theme is that of internationalization, fundamental to increase revenues and visibility. Serie A, however, has also lost ground on this front. He was unable to anticipate emerging markets. This has reduced its overall weight. Investing today would mean building tomorrow. But a coordinated strategy is needed. Without a strong presence abroad, the system risks remaining marginal. Later he spoke on governance & structural reforms: "The Serie A League must regain its leadership role, managing to propose a revision of the governance of all Italian football, to clean up a level of contentiousness and lack of transparency that is no longer acceptable today". The issue of governance is central as Agnelli had pointed out. Internal divisions have blocked any attempt at change: “There is the utmost urgency" of "some structural system reforms". Among the priorities indicated, also the reduction in the number of professional clubs and a revision of the roses. The goal is to improve the overall quality and promote the growth of Italian players. Without deep interventions, the system will remain fragile. We need an organic reform. And above all, you need the political will to implement it. (@tuttosport )
