Where For Art Thou, Rasho?
 
Umm...where's Rasho? My apologies for bastardizing The Bard but I enjoy fiddling around with words and since Hicks raised the thought a few weeks ago, the question remains today: Where is Rasho Nesterovic? We've had tons of welcome-to-the-family features and events revolving around T.J. Ford, Jarrett Jack, Brandon Rush, Roy Hibbert and even included Maceo Baston and Josh ...

Ranking T.J. Ford Against His Peers
 
Tom Ziller is drilling through his Top 50 NBA players over at the Fanhouse and has slotted newly acquired Pacer, T.J. Ford at #45 . TZ paints a pretty picture to think about for the upcoming season and certainly isn't hung up on the injury questions that seem to always smother analyses of Ford's game. So, if under Mitchell Ford could be an excellent offensive player, how will things go in ...

Team USA Golden Again
 
Congratulations to Team USA Basketball for bringing home the gold medal after hanging on to beat Spain today, 118-107 . So much for cruising to the gold medal, though. Don't let the double-digit final deficit fool you, this game was tight for much of the second half. Huge head nods to Spain for laying it all on the line and executing a great game plan to push the USA team to the limit.  ...

I was either going to be the No. 1 or No. 2 pick [on their draft board]… They’ve had a lot of problems with things like that, like with Jamaal Tinsley and Jermaine ...

Team USA Making It Look Easy
 
Prior to the 2008 Olympics,I was looking forward to Team USA coming together as a talented basketball team, not talented individuals but a team, to put USA hoops back at the top of the heap in  the international hoop game. But I was also hoping for a little drama along the way. Sheesh. Today, the U.S. ballers destroyed Germany, 106-57 , to remain undefeated in anticipation of the ...
