Peyton Manning can’t even get a hint of tendonitis, but Greg Oden can’t even get on the court. Combine this with Brandon Roy’s knee problems and what looked like at one-time to be a blooming dynasty could result in….nothing.

  Portland taking Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan will be the biggest NBA Draft blunder for the rest of eternity.  Or will it? Kevin Durant has now scored 25 or more points in 25 consecutive games.  At the age of 22, Durant is already one of the top three players in the league.  Outside of LeBron James there isn’t a human being on the planet with more talent.  I guess not being able to bench press 185 pounds coming out of college isn’t such a big deal after all.  Ah, what could have been for the Portland Trailblazers.  Instead of Jordan and Durant they ended up with Bowie [...]

Orlando Magic fans who think Dwight Howard is too nice a guy were probably encouraged to see him get feisty and throw an elbow at Samuel Dalembert during Game 5 of the team’s big playoff series with Philadelphia; however, they were probably not pleased to learn that Dwight will not be participating in Game 6 after being suspended for said intentional blow to the cranium.  Dear Dwight:  you can’t help your team win if you’re not on the floor.  Ask Tracy McGrady and Kevin Garnett. Actually, sometimes you can’t help your team even when you are on the floor.  Just [...]

Greg Oden shows a bunch of grade schoolers that, like his peers LeBron James and Dwight Howard, he also can make a full-court heave.  Fantastic.  Now let’s see Greg go a whole season without some part of his body failing catastrophically.  That would be impressive.
