James Harden and Jeremy Lin have transformed the Houston Rockets into a playoff contender. A couple years from now. Despite an impressive three game stretch that has seen the Rockets go 2-1, Harden average 35.3 points and Lin dish out 7.3 helpers, Houston is not playoff-bound. Not this year.

The Golden State Warriors are all about taking risks. They took a risk when they paid David Lee an arm and a leg to join the team. They took a risk when they shipped out Monta Ellis last season and they took an even bigger risk bringing Andrew Bogut back in return. And now they [...]

The Milwaukee Bucks are fools. There, I said it.

July 31, 2012 – Griffin Gotta When the Golden State Warriors sent Monta Ellis to Milwaukee last season in exchange for Andrew Bogut, the injury-bug-bitten defensive anchor of Bucks’ units strong on that end, it was an all-too-blatant tipping of their cards.

July 27, 2012 – Dan Favale Nate Robinson may be severely undersized at 5’9″, but it’s an absolute atrocity that an NBA team has yet to sign the 28-year-old free agent. While Robinson is a loose cannon and an oft-defensive liability, he is one of the best scorers in the league. Period. Last season, Robison [...]
