Welcome back to yet another exciting Race to the MVP presented to you by Beyond the Arc Basketball. I'd like to talk about the Milwaukee Bucks, and more importantly, the player everyone has their eyes on, Brandon Jennings. The kid is still rolling through the league with a head of steam, leading...
In this edition of Beyond the Arc's Race to MVP, I'd like to focus your attention on Steve Nash. Ever so often you have that savvy league veteran who never appears to be on the decline. Last year, it seemed pretty evident Nash was not that player, but he has certainly opened up some eyes this...
AboveLegit's NBA Mock Draft 2009
5/28/2009
1. Los Angeles Clippers: Blake Griffin, PF, Sophomore, Oklahoma
The Clippers will be taking Blake Griffin, there is no exceptions, you take this type of talent 10 out of 10 times. Even with a solid frontcourt, they will take Blake and build around...
Agreed, but if you think about it, Ray Ray was a huge part of their scoring, and one of the main reasons they won game 5 (remember his lay up on Sasha) and Rondo was a huge part of their defensive scheme, fastbreaks, and set up offense.
Rondo was the playmaker, the fastbreak runner, and the man that set up Ray Ray with all of those three's. It was his decision making that helped the C's win banner 17.

There has been many question marks on the Redskins team coming into the 08-09 season, but the biggest concern from a publicity standpoint is Jason Campbell. Will he prove that he can lead this team to the playoffs once again and not suffer from another injury? Will he adapt to a new offense and...
Which team do you guys think has the best starting backcourt?
Here is how I rank the Top 5:
1. Spurs - Parker/Ginobili (Healthy Manu this year...maybe title #5 for the Spurs?)
2. Pistons - Billups/Hamilton (ECF almost every year...)
3. Celtics - Rondo/Ray Allen (maybe I'm...
Well the Pistons were planning to rebuild their team, meaning they trade some of their starters, and the Magic, Cavs, and Wizards are improving their rosters while the Pistons have not.
Title basically says it all.
Wizards: B
Draft: JaVale McGee
Probably should have traded this pick for cash or another pick in another draft. This guy won't play at all this season. He'll most likely be playing in the D-league cause we got 2 centers in haywood and thomas (assuming he comes...
