The Houston Rockets are really good at offense and the Phoenix Suns are really bad at defense. The Rockets clearly received a huge boost with the return of superstar point guard Chris Paul in Phoenix Thursday night as they scored 45 points in each of the first two quarters in their 142-116 spanking of the [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t exactly lighting up the nets from downtown this season. They are last in the NBA in three-pointers made through 15 games and are shooting a league worst, 28.8% from three-point range for the season. That is almost four percent worse than the next worse team, the Chicago Bulls at 32.2%. [...]

Clint Capela, once a very raw player that wasn’t counted upon for many minutes on an NBA level, is now one of the better true centers in the NBA. He is averaging 13.1 points, 11.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game this season in 25.8 minutes while shooting 68% with an out of this world [...]

LeBron James is soon to be 33 years old and is currently in the 15th season of his NBA career, a career which has included 12 playoff appearances and seven NBA Finals appearances. That is a lot of miles on that metaphorical odometer. In spite of this, he is currently leading the NBA in minutes [...]

After the Knicks comeback victory at home against the Utah Jazz Wednesday night, they are now 8-6 on the season and have been 8-3 since an 0-3 start. They seem much more in tune with one another, quicker, more athletic and better on both ends by revolving their offense around their resident unicorn Kristaps Porzingis. [...]

While in all fairness, this time around he was asked specifically about the Cavaliers and their 7-7 start to the season [...]

The style of NBA basketball has changed dramatically over the past five years as virtually every team in the NBA shoots a lot higher percentage of three-pointers per game and other than the teams with incredibly skilled traditional big men like DeMarcus Cousins, Anthony Davis and Kristaps Porzingis who can do it all, most teams [...]

There has been a shift (an enlightened shift) on the use of marijuana for professional sports players in recent years as more and more research shows that the use of marijuana in a medical sense is far less harmful and more natural than prescription pain killers for athletes who are dealing with chronic pain (no [...]

The Cavaliers have struggled mightily this season and at times have frankly looked disinterested. They were in the midst of another malaise on Monday in Madison Square Garden against the Knicks as they had a paltry and frankly embarrassing 50 points with 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter and were trailing the Knicks 73-50.

Having confidence is a good thing, and it is absolutely essential when attempting to succeed as a professional athlete when you are playing against the very best competition in the world. Willie Cauley-Stein, the No. 8 pick of the Sacramento Kings in the 2015 NBA Draft and their starting center, has confidence, apparently to the [...]
