Hey! Whatever Happened To Allan Houston?

In the annals of NBA playoff history, most remember the high profile matchups towards the month of June, more so than the early round, 4-games-to-one whoopings. Every once in a blue moon, you get something in the first round that gets you hype for the whole ride (i.e. this year’s Warriors, who should play in [...]

Poll: Where Will Oden Go?

A hot NBA topic lately is the Portland Trailblazers snagging the first overall pick of the 2007 draft, a.k.a. “The Greg Oden & Kevin Durant Draft.” While many fans and observers think that Portland taking (and keeping) Oden is a slam dunk, others don’t agree.
