When it comes to small forwards, LeBron James is king, with Carmelo Anthony right behind him. He confirmed that he's 6'9 and 260 pounds, yet he's fast and athletic. He had an MVP caliber regular season with 30 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 7.2 APG 1.8 SPG and 1.1 BPG. Unguardable 1-on-1, LeBron is only 23 years   more...

It's kind of sad that the most compelling thing about the Cavs/Wizards series is all the drama surrounding the ongoing feud between LeBron James and DeShawn Stevenson, though I have to admit I love hearing clueless announcers describe the insult in LeBron's comparison of DeShawn to Soulja Boy. Then   more...

To be honest, I'm not completely sure what happened in Game 4. The Raptors looked like they were starting to pull away, were up by about 7 and then all of a sudden, the wheels fell off. Much in the same way that big time players come through in the 4th quarter, big time teams come through in the   more...

Well, going into Game 2 against the Magic, the Raptors can start with taking a positive out of Game 1. I know, you're thinking, "A POSITIVE? WHAAA?", but yes, there were a few positives to be taken out of that game that can be carried over to Game 2. Let's start with the fact that the Raptors could   more...

This year's awards are probably the absolute hardest to hand out. The Most Valuable Player (MVP) might be the toughest one, but the others are debatable as well.

All things considered, the Raptors really haven't played that bad basketball over their first two playoff games this year.

Second returns are in and Baron Davis is moving up with 93,626 votes since the last returns, putting Jerry Stackhouse in last place in the West guard standings. Melo's still on top of the west forwards. Looks like the Yardbarker campaign is paying off. It's starting to narrow down a little. So   more...

The way the Raptors came out to start their first playoff game of 2008, you would almost think they were playing a preseason game. This looked like an All-Star game (minus the All-Stars) with no defense being played and nobody wanting to lay a hand on anybody. Sam Mitchell acted like he was in an   more...
