All Spencer Hawes Needs is a War, Boys
[This is one of StR's '07-08 Kings previews. Follow them here.] It's cliché as all hell, but Spencer Hawes really does need doubt and dissension to thrive. Like so many underachievers who have limped their way through protracted NBA careers, Hawes seems to be at his best when the jeers...
Southwest Division Preview
Cue Ennio Morricone. The start of 08-09 NBA season is here. And this year the wild, wild West promises to be more competitive and entertaining than the craziness that was last year. Yup, that's right. It's game time. Who am I? My name is Lee, and I'll be your host for @TH's Southwest Division...

Quincy, We Hardly Knew Ye
My continuing series of dedicating way too much space on fringe players (you should have seen what I was working on for Noel Felix)- I’ve come to praise Quincy Douby, not bury him. There will be no unibrow jokes here. JustaRealDude will not go nuts while reading this story. Quincy Douby...

Doubting Thomas
Kenny in the paint Yes, I lived a life BC (before Chris). And now I am apparently experiencing an existence AD (after Divac). Yes, the apocalypse is truly upon us, as we argue whether or not it is fair to mock one Kenneth Cornelius Thomas. It seems that there are those that want us to give...
Bear Ye John Salmons' Burdens
[This is one of StR's '07-08 Kings previews. Follow them here.] It is ... difficult to keep faith in John Salmons when faith is a) so hard to come by, and b) Salmons fails to regularly live up to expectations sealed by your faith. In few Kings matter do we trust. Why waste a share on a spotty...
Francisco Garcia's Book of Violent Weather
[This is one of StR's '07-08 Kings previews. Follow them here.] Francisco Garcia has no corners in his path, no forks in the proverbial road. Garcia and his horse rode a dusty trail to the NBA and expect to keep goin' til it ended on the other side of 2015. Personal growth wouldn't mean a lick...
