If there is one thing to be said about Raptors alumni, they have no qualms speaking on the whole Donaghy affair. First Doug Christie and now Charles Oakley has come out and said his piece, even pulling the “favourable” calls his buddy Jordan used to get into the argument. Personally I think that is a [...]

Well, thank God THAT is over.
I can appreciate that the NBA (cough) wanted (cough) this matchup, but, in my opinion, the 2008 NBA Playoffs provided little zip. Unless you count a new-found hatred not seen in these parts since Reggie Miller. Has there been such a pompous ass built overnight as quickly as Paul Pierce? [...]
