For whatever reason, there have been a record number of blowouts in the 2016 playoffs. Typically, when a team gets off to a hot start, that’s the tone for the game and the opposition does not mount a serious comeback. That was the case for Golden State last night. But in the first half of [...]

The only person affiliated with the Cleveland Cavs that was probably scratching his head after game 3 had to be Kevin Love. I mean, how could he not be? Touted as one of the big 3, the Cavs easily cruised by the Warriors by 30 points in game 3, all while Love was inactive while [...]

When you play alongside a superstar and are considered the second best player on your team, that has to be an uncomfortable situation to be in. While you love the success of your team, you’re constantly feeling like you need to be recognized. You got that sense from Russell Westbrook for a while, and you [...]

All of the pieces of the Warriors roster fits nicely, and that goes for unsung heroes as well. Harrison Barnes plays his role for the team very well despite not being one of the most talked-about players. On July 1, Barnes becomes a restricted free agent. The Warriors have made it no secret that they’d [...]

With his ability to spread the floor with his outside shot, Steph Curry can wreak havoc on any court, regardless of the rules and style of play. That goes for international ball in the Olympics. If he were to play for Team USA in August in Rio, he’d likely put on a show. But it [...]

The Mike D’Antoni experiment in Houston will be an interesting one.

Initially, and understandably, George didn’t commit to playing in 2016. But [...]

It’s not quite the 2010-11 Miami Heat, but this Golden State Warriors team receives their fare share of hate. Not as much from other players and fans, but largely from former players. Charles Barkley prefaces every critique of the team with “I’m not hating, but…” before he states his opinion. In fairness to Chuck, he [...]

Jeff Hornacek and the Knicks have officially agreed to terms on a 3-year contract. Hornacek led the pool of candidates that also included David Blatt and Frank Vogel. But Phil Jackson decided on Hornacek. A guy who was run out of Phoenix after his team allegedly quit on him. That’s what makes this hire so [...]

Now that they actually know who they’ll be playing in the Finals, the Cavs can gameplan. Coach Tyronn Lue thinks he has a strategy of how he can beat the Warriors at their own game. Lue wants to push the pace. Sure, the Warriors are the defending champs, but you have to be able to [...]
