Kevin Durant wants you to know the Golden State Warriors aren’t NBA Finals locks. They aren’t locks for anything, period. Most had the Warriors ticketed for another championship at the start of this season. Even now, with the Houston Rockets having clinched the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference, it’s tough for some to [...]

The 2018 NBA Draft class should be one of the deeper and most talented in some time. There are a number of elite big men and some game-changing wing players who project to be able to develop into future all-stars.

Should the Oklahoma City Thunder be playing Carmelo Anthony late in games? Should they be allocating more time for him to work one-on-one? Should he see more time as the face of bench-heavy lineups? Should he maybe, possibly even come off the bench? All these months later, the Thunder are still trying to find a [...]

The 2017-18 season has not gone as Hassan Whiteside would have hoped. After averaging 17.0 points and an NBA-leading 14.1 rebounds per game in 2016-17 in 32.6 minutes per game, Whiteside’s health, productiveness, effort and ultimately minutes have all gone down this season and it has led to much frustration with Whiteside and the team.
