“Back to back like I’m Jordan, 96-97” – Drake’s lyrics embody the positive vibe around the Warriors camp at the moment. It goes without saying that these Warriors are good. They’re damn good. In a conversation with a mate of mine recently, I did say that it’s not a big call anymore to predict a [...]

Through the first four games of his MVP defense campaign Steph Curry is averaging 37 points, 6.3 assists, 5 rebounds and 2.5 steals. That is in only 31.8 minutes per game, his numbers per 36 minutes are almost 42-7-6-3. Those are video game numbers. He is also shooting 96% from the free throw line, 60% [...]

Dion Waiters isn’t about to do the Oklahoma City Thunder any favors. Financial favors, that is. The deadline for NBA teams to sign first-round picks from 2012 to contract extensions has come to pass, and Dion Waiters, like many others, did not reach an agreement with his incumbent team. That doesn’t mean he’ll leave Oklahoma [...]

Meyers Leonard opted not to sign an extension with the Portland Trail Blazers. And that makes up to 29 other teams really happy. The sweet-shooting 7-footer, who is also a pretty damn good rim protector, has elected to pass on whatever the Blazers were offering and become a restricted free agent next summer.

The world knew this was eventually bound to happen. Last night, LeBron James added yet another accolade into his much-decorated career during their come-from-behind win against the Sixers.

Manu Ginboili has veto power over San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich. Well, not really. But he has the ability to change Coach Pop’s mind. Popovich apparently had plans to sit Manu Ginobili against the New York Knicks on Monday night, a move he thought that Ginobili agreed to. As it turns out, Coach [...]

Kristaps Porzingis is hurt. Again. But his injury isn’t believed to be serious. Again. Late in the fourth quarter of the New York Knicks’ 94-84 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony were involved in a chaotic scrum for an offensive rebound; Anthony came up with it and either fell or stepped [...]

The Washington Wizards would be smart to offer a contract extension to starting shooting guard Bradley Beal, but they made an ever wiser decision to delay the negotiations. Although Beal deserves a new deal and the Wizards are almost certainly going to pay the Florida product whatever he wants, the front office properly exploited the [...]

The Charlotte Hornets are really buying into that Jeremy Lamb hype that existed in 2012 and has since petered out. After a relatively unsuccessful three years with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Lamb now finds himself in a situation with the Hornets where, at some point, he should be able to make real contributions. And Charlotte [...]
