What in the hell is going on with the Golden State Warriors? Somehow, essentially without the likes of Andrew Bogut and Brandon Rush, Golden State finds itself atop the NBA’s Pacific Division. In case you’re wondering, that’s the same Pacific Division that houses both the Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers. So, I repeat, [...]

Even though the Detroit Pistons had to wait a year for former NCAA Champion at Duke, Kyle Singler, to officially suit up for the team after playing a season in Europe, it’s been well worth the wait as the former All ACC performer has averaged 10 points, 3 rebounds, and is shooting nearly 50% from [...]

Marcin Gortat is a smart man. Like a really smart man. Smarter than the Phoenix Suns could have ever known him to be. Which doesn’t bode well for them. According to Paul Coro of azcenteral.com, the Suns offered Gortat a contract extension back in October, one in which he ultimately declined: Suns center Marcin Gortat [...]

When watching the Los Angeles Lakers, it doesn’t take long to see that they’re missing something or rather, someone. That someone is Steve Nash. It seems fairly obvious. After all, Nash is a perennial All-Star who can give you 15 points and 10 assists per game. Yet his value to Los Angeles doesn’t stop there. [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers franchise must be snake-bitten when it comes to talented yet often injured big men. In year’s past, it’s been injuries that have prematurely shortened the careers of former Sixers bigs Jeff Ruland, Matt Geiger, Chris Webber, Elton Brand, and now Andrew Bynum. In the less than spectacular Eastern Conference currently dominated by [...]

After breaking his hand earlier in the season, Kevin Love was finally back in action for the Timberwolves. He’s first game back was on the road against Portland. Though the Wolves lost 103-95, Love had a pretty good game (decent by his standards) with 24 points and 13 rebounds. His percentages weren’t very high at [...]

I’m worried about the New York Knicks. More specifically, I’m worried about Carmelo Anthony and the effects his leadership will have on these Knicks. Anthony is having a sensational season. He’s averaging 25.3 points and seven rebounds per game, posting a 22.49 PER in the process–the highest of his career. To say he’s one of [...]

The Philadelphia 76ers may have made a mistake. That mistake may have been Andrew Bynum. After shipping out a franchise cornerstone in Andre Iguodala in exchange for Bynum’s services, the towering big man has yet to set foot on the floor as he continues to wage a losing battle with both of his knees. And [...]

Record-breaking scoring performances always catch my interest, so when I heard about 5’10 Grinnell College’s Jack Taylor’s 138-point performance breaking the NCAA record, I thought it was amazing, until I watched the video. It was incredible, but something was missing. Highlights: Taylor is quick and maintains a good dribble under pressure. When Taylor rises up [...]

The New York Knicks are having an exceptional start to the season. The backcourt presence of Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton’s break out performances have been a steadying force for the Knicks offensively. But what has surprised almost everyone, maybe even the Knicks themselves is their defensive presence so far this year. Everything stops with [...]
