Trew 2 the Game #6: Summertime at Pelican High
It’s like a school teacher is looking forward to relaxing in the Summertime because class is no longer in session.

Trew 2 the Game #3: The Greg Omen
What if Greg Oden ended up better than Kevin Durant?

In our final first round battle, James Grayson and Chris Trew go head to head, as Cody Zeller is pitted against the option of Trading for a Young Veteran. The Case for Cody Zeller (Grayson) Cody Zeller is the most sure fire thing in this year’s NBA Draft. I can’t imagine that someone who was […]

Sixth Pick Tournament Round One: Michael Carter-Williams vs Trade Up
The Case for Michael Carter-Williams (Ryan Schwan) For this off-season, Dell Demps should have one overwhelming priority: improving on last year’s terrible perimeter defense. The team already can rebound on both ends of the floor. They can shoot. They were decent at holding on to the ball. They can pass. They can block shots. What […]
