Former UW (and Seattle high school) stars Brandon Roy and Nate Robinson combined for 55 points last night as the Blazers beat the Knicks 92-86. Where were you guys two years ago this week--we could've used 55 points in the Louisville game!

Nate Robinson, Brandon Roy, Jamal Crawford and Spencer Hawes on one squad. Our fantasy basketball team circa 2008?

Who opens against the Sonics at the Key? Why it's the only locally-owned NBA franchise! Also the only one that:

A quick rundown on where our beloved Husky basketball types are now.

ESPN's Page Two calls the Sonics' 1987 pick of Scottie Pippen #34 on their list of the 100 worst draft picks of all-time...sort of.

Former Rainier Beach and UW basketball star Nate Robinson scored 34 points last week against Philadelphia. Pretty good, huh? Robinson's coach, the legendary Larry Brown, didn't think so.

Phillyist notes a fistfight between local pols that leaves one man down for the count. Jehovah's Witnesses get a Philly contributor out of bed, things get a little geeky with a film festival and geeky gets taken to a whole new galaxy when they talk with the Dragon Queen of the Dark Kingdom.
