Ever since Kevin Durant went down with a sprained MCL on February 28 (thanks a lot Marcin Gortat) the Warriors have experienced something they haven’t in a long time save for the final three games of the 2016 NBA Finals (sorry couldn’t help myself), a stretch of losing basketball. They have gone 2-4 in their [...]

Although the Cavaliers suffered another disappointing loss, this time 106-101 in Detroit Thursday night, vintage LeBron was on display. Dunking on everything in site and flying around like a 25-year-old earning yet another triple-double. This triple-double was a little more special though as it was the 50th of his historic career.

Lou Williams, now a member of the Houston Rockets, was almost traded to the Utah Jazz. Or, rather, he could have been traded to the Jazz, in exchange for a first-round pick, but wasn’t, because the Los Angeles Lakers waited too long.

‘ We’ve talked about it. We’ve thought about it. We’ve assumed it was true. But we’ve never really received confirmation on it.

If you thought it was hard for Jeanie Buss to fire brother Jim Buss and longtime general manager Mitch Kupchak, you’re right.
