Danny Granger can be the answer for an Indiana Pacers team without a whole lot of questions. I’ve penned a number of thoughts on the star forward since he was shut down before the start of the season with a knee injury. Most have been responses to trade rumors that I simply don’t agree with. [...]

The Boston Celtics are undefeated since losing Rajon Rondo, which does anything but speak volumes about the point guard’s value to the team. Without Rondo, the Celtics are 4-0 and have snagged victories over the Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers, two authentic contenders. Naturally, after such immense, albeit brief, success, the narrative in Boston [...]

If it’s not broke, the Los Angeles Clippers shouldn’t try to fix it. But should they try to make it even better? Currently, the Chris Paul-led Clippers have the second-best record in the NBA, trailing only the seemingly unbeatable Oklahoma City Thunder. But while such success would normally dictate that a team not do a [...]

The Los Angeles Clippers’ prolific offense was muted by a staunch Denver Nuggets defense, capped by a 92-78 win. This was largely an ugly game, with both squads turning the ball over carelessly and missing manageable shots.

I personally spent a large chunk of the NBA offseason criticizing their roster and many of the moves they made; I simply didn’t believe they were a contender, or even a viable powerhouse for that matter. But then the season began. Los Angeles was 8-2, Chris [...]

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 [...]

Let’s get one thing straight: It’s still incredibly early in the NBA season. Now, let’s get another thing straight: J.R. Smith of the New York Knicks is already a legitimate candidate for the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award. No seriously, I’m not kidding. Smith has improved by leaps and bounds heading into this [...]
