Dropping the Second Shoe
Now that the first Shaq shoe has dropped (as predicted here first by yours truly) we have to wait for that second shoe. Who wants nearly 6 million in expiring (retiring) money? Why – half the NBA! What could our options be? Danny will probably surprise us as usual, but here are (in my humble [...]
Positional Rankings: PG
Most of the NBA’s top scoring options come in the form of a wing or big man.

Player of the Month
Celtics captain Paul Pierce has been named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the second time this season. Pierce guided injury-depleted Boston to four wins last week, averaging 21.8 points on 58.7 percent shooting (27 for 46) from the floor. Pierce also won the Player of the Week honor back on Dec. 20.

Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook earned this week's nod for the Western Conference. Celtics guard Ray Allen was also nominated for the East honor.
