With the Bulls top two leading scorers—Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler—unable to play as they were both sidelined with injuries, someone needed to step up. One of their promising young guns—Tony Snell, was given the opportunity to start and hopefully gain more confidence from his head coach. As it turned out it was Moore who [...]

It’s definitely a sad Thursday night for Portland fans, as their beloved team just suffered a huge blow during their matchup against the visiting Mavericks.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if the Thunder finish anything better than 8th [...]
