The San Antonio Spurs have been a very good team for about 15 straight years. They’ve been legit title contenders in each of those years, winning in 1999, 2003, 2005 and 2007. But because they’ve never won back-to-back, many do not consider them a dynasty. In fact, Phil Jackson falls into that category. Phil was [...]

There’s no shortage of reasons (good reasons or bad) why people dislike LeBron James. One may be that people are fed up with the fact that he occassionally flops even though he’s so big and strong.

Apparently, Lance Stephenson and Evan Turner got into a physical altercation before game 1.

This is so Mark Jackson. During his time as head coach of the Golden State Warriors, Jackson has rarely hesitated to speak his mind or talk in hyperbole. That’s what we love about him, because it’s so entertaining. That’s what Warriors management may hate about him, because it’s too damn entertaining. Of all the things [...]
