All-NBA Teams Announced
Without a doubt, there will be plenty of watercooler chatter about who belongs on the All-NBA first, second and third teams.

Both the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers have at least this much in common: both are injury-prone, Portland even more so. The Blazers have lost both of their centers, Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla, for the rest of the season, yet find ways to win. The Lakers, on the other hand, have put [...]
