Greg Oden has had a bigger impact than I thought he was going to have with this being only the 3rd week of his NBA career. In order to make their team better, the Trail Blazers put a stick of dynamite under the Rose Garden and blew up the team. They shipped out 3 players […]

“Swa-wing batta”, “Yer Out”, and “SAFE” are words associated with the sound of summer. Baseball, hotdogs, and beautiful women are normally at the top of a guy’s list for the months of June thru August, but giants that stand 6’5” and can dunk a ball at a young age are the new headlines. I […]

The Portland Trail Blazers drafted everyone under the sun. I don’t think you stayed up for it but in the 3rd round, they selected me too. Well, not exactly but I would play for free if they asked me to.

The deal would involve sending KG to the Lakers and the Pacers would then get Odom and Andrew Bynum. The Celtics would get Pacers’ veteran Jermaine O’Neal […]

Did the NBA meet your viewing standards this season? I’ll never forget the new ball controversy. Remember when the old ball replaced the new one on January 1? If the league was looking to increase scoring, the new ball indeed brought scoring production. Teams like the Phoenix Suns were tearing up the nets by scoring […]

I don’t know about you but if I was a GM and I wanted to win a championship, I would draft a center in a heartbeat. In recent NBA championship history, name the only team that didn’t win a title without having a legit post player on the roster. Give up? Well as far as […]
