DeMar DeRozan continues to elevate his game and improve every season and is playing the best basketball of his career right now for the Toronto Raptors. DeRozan had the best night of his career on Monday night, when he rode a hot hand and a 21 point first quarter to a new franchise-record, 52 point [...]

The Houston Rockets just became Chris Paul’s team for the next few weeks. The Rockets superstar shooting guard and potential MVP favorite at the moment, James Harden, will miss at least two weeks of action as he recovers from a grade 2 hamstring strain suffered in the Rockets-Lakers game on Sunday night. This is a [...]

The Blazers haven’t been able to really build on their breakout season in 2015-16 in which they won 45 games and made the second round of the NBA Playoffs. They are currently sitting at 17-16 and 8th in the western conference, apparently not where billionaire owner Paul Allen wants them to be. According to a [...]

I guess you could say Rajon Rondo is fully recovered from the sports hernia injury he suffered that caused him to miss the first month and a half of the season. Rondo did something that hadn’t been done in the NBA in over 20 years on Wednesday night: record 25 assists in a single game. [...]

If I were an NBA betting man I wouldn’t have thought [...]

There are certain proud organizations in the NBA that will not tank under any circumstances, partially because of a organizational mentality and partially out of necessity to sell tickets and keep fan loyalty in a smaller NBA market. This list includes teams like the Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz and the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have [...]

Any knowledgeable or logical fan of the game of basketball would likely tell you the two best players in the world right now are LeBron James and Kevin Durant. They also happen to be leading the two best teams in the league at the moment (Sorry Spurs and Rockets) and squared off once again on [...]

Things went from bad to worse for the Orlando Magic. After being the surprise team in the NBA the first few weeks of the season, the Magic are now 11-23. They will also now be without one of their two best players in Nikola Vucevic. Vucevic was diagnosed with a fractured first metacarpal on his [...]

The Suns are winners of three of their last four games, despite being without their best player, Devin Booker (seriously, look at their roster, it is not pretty). One of the major reasons for the recent burst of success has been the addition of Isaiah Canaan. Canaan was signed with the hardship exception for the [...]
