Written by DanShanoff.com(noreply@blogger.com)
Everyone is so focused on the Shaq-Cavs deal -- for good reason: The Cavs have one year left to make a run at the title before LeBron bolts for New York. As a Wizards fan, I would like to see the team take three cracks at competing for a title over the next three years, then clear the cap room for 201...

Written by Fred Richani
Any fan who loves the game of basketball should hope Greg Oden can recover and at least be an above average contributor this season and beyond. Not just because it's good for Greg Oden, but for the NBA as well. Basketball needs more Greg Odens in terms of character than Stephon Marburys.

Opinion: Kevin Durant: A Progress Report

22 Feb 2008 02:29:00 PST

Written by David Friedman
I watched Durant play in the Summer League and evaluated his game objectively without resorting to baseless hype. I wrote several posts here describing exactly what I saw, including Durant Hardly Dominant as Summer League Concludes and Kevin Durant--Shooting Guard? I don't mean to pat myself on the back--well, maybe I do just a little bit--but if you read those posts you will discover that Durant's production as a rookie has been exactly what I predicted. Right now he is a one dimensional player and the only category that he performs well in is free throw percentage. Unfortunately, Durant cannot take advantage of that because he is not good at drawing fouls, which is something else that I correctly predicted despite the fact that he did dr...
