Cody Zeller Out Indefinitely With Torn Meniscus in Left Knee

It has been a rough few days for the Charlotte Hornets. After learning that their head coach and leader Steve Clifford will be taking a leave of absence for personal health reasons and being manhandled at home by a very lethal Kevin Durant at his most dangerous, they will now be without their highly underrated [...]

Spurs Expect Kawhi Leonard to Return Saturday

Spurs Expect Kawhi Leonard to Return Saturday

The San Antonio Spurs prove on an annual basis that they are one of the most indestructible forces in life. In spite of boasting one of the least talented rosters in the league at the moment with their superstar forward Kawhi Leonard sidelined, they have still managed to start 17-8, good for 3rd in the [...]

Knicks Owner, Bucks Co-Owner Named in Harvey Weinstein Lawsuit

The Q rating for New York Knicks Owner James Dolan is already pretty low in New York and around the country, as he is seen as a trust fund kid that is unprepared for his role and unfit to run a major and historic corporation like the Knicks (reminds me of some other situation happening [...]

Mike James Becomes 1st Two-Way Player to Earn NBA Contract

Mike James Becomes 1st Two-Way Player to Earn NBA Contract

Mike James has had an interesting journey to make the NBA to say the least. From high school basketball in Portland, to junior college basketball at Eastern Arizona Junior College (I played against him in junior college by the way), to smaller Lamar University in Texas, with stops in Croatia, Italy, Spain and Greece before [...]

Cousins Becomes 1st Player in Almost 30 Years to Drop 40-20 Twice

Cousins Becomes 1st Player in Almost 30 Years to Drop 40-20 Twice

DeMarcus Cousins can be one of the more frustrating players in the NBA with his general ornery-ness and propensity for flopping to get calls and then complaining to the referees non-stop.

Cavaliers Tie Franchise Record With 13th Straight Win

Cavaliers Tie Franchise Record With 13th Straight Win

It just seemed like yesterday that the Cleveland Cavaliers were in a state of panic (at least to the outside world, maybe internally too though) as they were stuck at 5-7 with the worst defensive team in the NBA by far. They were old, slow, couldn’t [...]

Fans in Phoenix can breath a sigh of relief.

Beal Drops 51 in Wizards Upset Win in Portland

Beal Drops 51 in Wizards Upset Win in Portland

The Washington Wizards are surprising many with their solid play with star point guard John Wall sidelined. They have gone 3-3 without Wall, including a 106-92 win in Portland on Tuesday night. So what was the biggest reason they pulled off the upset on Tuesday night you say? Two words: Bradley Beal. Beal set a [...]

They are currently 8-14 and are without Blake Griffin, Danilo Gallinari and Patrick Beverley, three of their starters.
