With the Cavaliers most recent drubbing in San Antonio Monday night, losing 103-74, they are now in 2nd place in the eastern conference. This is the first time they haven’t been at the top of the eastern conference since November 8th, 2015. The Celtics are currently in 1st place, a half game ahead of the [...]

The 2016-17 season has been somewhat of a lost season for Reggie Jackson. After having the best year and a half of his career after being dealt to the Pistons before the 2015 NBA trade deadline, Jackson missed the first 20 games of the 2016-17 season with chronic knee pain and has been unable to [...]

As we all know, the race for league MVP this season has been an epic two-horse race almost from the very beginning, as Russell Westbrook and James Harden have each been having all-time great seasons. That makes the decision for who should be honored as the league’s most valuable player extremely difficult, and former league [...]

The Rockets have already done more than enough to protect their playoff positioning and establish themselves as the surprise (at least in my opinion) team in the NBA this season, currently at 51-22 and 3rd in the western conference. While all of the attention has been on the incredible season by James Harden, one of [...]

At the tender age of 20, Devin Booker has already established himself as one of the most intriguing prospects in the NBA and after his historic 70 point performance in Boston Friday night, he even further solidified himself as a future superstar in the making and maybe even sooner than originally thought. Interestingly enough, Booker’s [...]

All is not well in title town, the Cleveland Cavaliers are barely playing .500 basketball, struggling against any team over .500 in either conference and LeBron James is tossing his goggles minutes into a game out of mere frustration. Seriously though the Cavaliers look vulnerable and now only have a half game lead for the [...]

There is no question that at this point of the season, the Phoenix Suns have one mission: securing as many ping pong balls as possible. Losers of nine of their last 10 and having already shut down Eric Bledsoe, Tyson Chandler and Brandon Knight for the season (Knight may be for other reasons) the Suns [...]

The 2016-17 season hasn’t transpired like the Timberwolves or many NBA fans or prognosticators had projected as many thought the T’Wolves were ready for a big leap forward into the postseason. As of March 23, they are 28-42 and 13th in the western conference, virtually guaranteed to miss the postseason for a 13th straight season, [...]

As I am sure most basketball fans have heard by now, Allen Iverson and Ice Cube have partnered to create the “Big 3” League, which is a competitive 3-on-3 basketball league to be played around the country over the summer and feature a number of retired NBA players as players and coaches. Some names involved [...]

For those of you (I’m included) who are nervous about Joel Embiid’s injury history and concerned about his ability to stay healthy enough to be able to develop into the generational force he showed he can be this season, this doesn’t provide any comfort. This will be Embiid’s 3rd surgery in 3 NBA seasons, not [...]
