Oklahoma City Thunder

Now I love Kevin Durant as much as the next person, but KD’s choice to sign with the defending Western Conference Champion Golden State Warriors and leave OKC got me wondering. When I open my internet browser, turn on the T.V., or listen to the radio, all I hear are journalists like Stephen A. Smith [...]

Here we come, NBA All-Star break. Which means here comes the NBA playoffs! More than half of the Association’s 2015-16 season is in the books, and save for a cluster of steady teams at the top of our power rankings, the league’s hierarchy knows no order. For every certainty like the Warriors, Spurs, Cavaliers and [...]

Get ready for a crazy NBA summer, folks. You already know commissioner Adam Silver is. The NBA’s salary cap is preparing to hit $89 million over the offseason, and it’s slated to jump above $105 million in 2017. Though player salaries will rise right along with the cap, this infusion of money has created at [...]

Kevin Durant signing with the New York Knicks in 2016 free agency is a pipe dream. Russell Westbrook joining New York as a free agent in 2017? Now that’s possible. Supposedly. Here’s Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports: The Knicks have a real chance to sell Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook in 2017 – New York and [...]

On the eve of Super Bowl 50, the Golden State Warriors and Oklahoma City Thunder will meet for the first time this season, because the NBA, as it turns out, loves you. This is a marquee matchup, between two marquee teams, with subtly enormous stakes. The Warriors have yet another opportunity to prove they’re head [...]

What time is it? NBA power rankings time. A lot has happened since we last met. All-Star rosters were finalized. The Warriors refused to lose. The Suns refused to let Jeff Hornacek keep his job. The Cavaliers found their mojo. The Bulls forgot how to score. The Spurs unleashed Kyle Anderson. The Knicks proved they’re [...]

The Oklahoma City Thunder are not the Golden State Warriors or San Antonio Spurs, but they’re trying like hell to keep pace with them. And they’re doing a pretty good job. Oklahoma City has spent most of the season vacillating between being the third- and fourth-best team in the league. If and when the Thunder [...]

Let’s ask the question that’s been burning a hole in our brains for months. Are the San Antonio Spurs as good, if not better, than the Golden State Warriors? No. No, they are not. Golden State proved as much during its 120-90 romping of San Antonio on Monday night, setting the stage for our power [...]

Kevin Durant has a high opinion of New York Knicks rookie Kristaps Porzingis. And Unicorns. Per the Washington Post‘s Tim Bontemps: KD on KP: "He's a 7-footer who can shoot all the way out to the 3-point line … And he can blocks shots. That's a unicorn in this league." — Tim Bontemps (@TimBontemps) January [...]

So it turns out Brook Lopez was really close to joining the Oklahoma City Thunder last season. Like, super close. Nets Daily rehashed our memory with some additional details: Maybe Brook remembers that Sam Presti decided against trading for him at 2:40 p.m. last February, after he had packed and overnight bag. — NetsDaily.com (@NetsDaily) [...]
