How long before Dwyane Wade snaps? Flash had a monster line against Orlando last night: 48 points, 11 dimes, 7 boards, 3 blocks and 3 steals, and the Heat still lost. Granted, Shaq (hip) wasn’t available to help with the Dwight Howard (29 pts, 21 rebs) project, but Miami can’t waste a D-Wade career […]

J-Dud Does It

Back when J-Dud didn’t have a number.
Jared Dudley’s story is like the inverse of Josh Howard’s. Four years ago, Howard won the ACC Player of the Year but surprisingly fell to 29th in the NBA Draft. For Dudley — who won the same ACC honor this past season — his draft position was only surprising […]
