The Golden State Warriors have established themselves as an NBA powerhouse—without Andrew Bogut. Now let that sink in. Especially the part about the Warriors being a powerhouse. Surprised? Shocked? Confused? So is the rest of the basketball world. Once that has set in, attempt to comprehend the latter. Golden State is 22-10, without Bogut. He [...]

The Washington Wizards need John Wall. Bad. Like really bad. Coming out of an off-season that saw the Wizards make a variety of moves geared at playoff contention, Wall’s knee injury changed everything. Washington currently sits at 4-26, the NBA’s worst record by far. Once again, a complete and utter sense of hopelessness has washed [...]

It’s officially time for Dirk Nowitzki to be inserted back into the starting lineup. And the Dallas Mavericks should take note. When I look at the 13-20 Mavericks, I, for some reason, still see a playoff team. Don’t ask me why, but I believe Nowitzki, O.J. Mayo and Darren Collison make for a dynamic offensive [...]

Serge Ibaka is one of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s several bright spots this year. OKC’s big man maintains the block figure (3 per game) that we’ve come to expect of him. But he’s become an even bigger factor on the offensive side of things this year. Ibaka sits on averages of 14.5 ppg and 8.5 [...]

Though Love has expressed his dissatisfaction with the franchise in the past, to go as far to say that he wants to be dealt would be a gross exaggeration. Or so one would think. According to [...]

James Harden must be the most conflicted player in the NBA. His former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder are a league-leading 24-6, while his current team, the Houston Rockets are 17-14 and headed in a different direction. While he watches his former teammates try to chase down a championship; Harden’s Rockets are trying to chase [...]

The Indiana Pacers are officially rolling without Danny Granger, yet that hardly means they don’t need him. After nothing short of a disappointing start that saw the Pacers begin the season 4-7, Indiana has gone 14-6 to improve to 18-13, the fourth-best record in the Eastern Conference. And, once again, the Pacers finally look like [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers’ prolific offense was muted by a staunch Denver Nuggets defense, capped by a 92-78 win. This was largely an ugly game, with both squads turning the ball over carelessly and missing manageable shots. To Denver’s credit, their defensive effort reduced the Clippers, if for just one contest, to a somewhat bumbling [...]

Amar’e Stoudemire has a long way to go, but that’s no reason for the New York Knicks to panic. The six-time All-Star returned to New York’s rotation on New Year’s Day, as the Knicks fell to the Portland Trail Blazers 105-100. He played just 17 minutes, was an unimpressive 3-of-8 from the field and finished [...]
