Golden State Warriors

With the kind of roll Tony Parker is on (26 ppg, 7 apg, 4.5 rpg in his last five games), he’s become the Spurs’ most important player. As integral as Tim Duncan’s presence may be, it’s Parker’s play at point that makes San Antonio go. So far, they’re still going, sitting on a 45-13 record [...]

Stephen Curry should have been selected to the 2013 NBA All-Star…we think. Though the point guard is having a career-year en route to rendering the Golden State Warriors legitimate contenders, he was passed over for the All-Star game in favor of James Harden, Tony Parker and Russell Westbrook. But was such a snub justified? I [...]

These Danny Granger trade rumors just won’t go away for the Indiana Pacers and I, for the life of me, cannot figure out why. I understand the Pacers have the third-best record in the Eastern Conference. I understand that they’ve won a franchise record nine in a row at home and two straight over conference [...]

The plot continues to thicken for the Memphis Grizzlies. As soon as it became known that the Grizzlies were willing to deal star forward Rudy Gay in favor of some salary cap relief, all proverbial hell broke loose in Memphis. First, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reported that the Grizzlies and Phoenix Suns were attempting [...]

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 [...]

Perhaps even more surprising than the Golden State Warriors’ 17-8 record is their newly wrinkled defense. Mark Jackson was always going to put a particular stress on the defensive end of his basketball team. The question then became: how in the world are you supposed to do that with virtually no size or physical presence? [...]

In the interest of full disclosure, I believe in David Lee. From the time he set foot on the court with the New York Knicks to the day he was traded to the Golden State Warriors to now, when the Warriors are actually, well, competent, I’ve watched him. I’ve watched him put up double-doubles with [...]

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, [...]

Remember when Dion Waiters was considered a draft-day reach for the Cleveland Cavaliers? Of course you do. And remember when he made critics eat such a notion? Duh. Then remember when he started to look like a bust once again? Wait, what? That’s correct. After what was supposed to be a coming out party for [...]

The Memphis Grizzlies are good. Like really good. Like torch the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder good. After losing to the Los Angeles Clippers on opening night, the Grizzles have won six straight games, establishing themselves as one of the NBA’s most formidable powerhouses in the process. Four of those games were won by [...]
