Via Give Me The Rock  |  January 09, 2012
There were worries coming into the season that LaMarcus Aldridge was a slightly risky pick as he underwent a procedure to treat a “heart issue”.  Admittedly, I was one of the few who were scared away by the news and during my first fantasy draft I totally missed out on an opportunity to pair him with my first-round picked Pau Gasol! I rectified that in the LAST snake draft I...

Double teams becoming a thing of the past?

Via Fox Sports Arizona  |  January 09, 2012

Any mistake or tardy bid to supply help creates an open shot or basket cut for NBA-level snipers...

Sorry, Crash

Via Oregon Sports News  |  January 10, 2012
Last year when the Trail Blazers traded for Gerald Wallace, I was not a happy camper.  The trade sent one of my all-time favorite blazers, Joel Przybilla, away from Rip City and I felt that the Blazers didn’t get nearly enough in return. I remember telling one of my friends that we gave up a solid center and some other pieces for a guy who could back up at three positions but...
