Oklahoma City Thunder

Kevin Martin’s tenure with the Oklahoma City Thunders stands to live on. We think. With the volume-scoring guard set to explore unrestricted free agency upon season’s end, much has been made of his future, or lack thereof, in Oklahoma City. Not because of his performance, though. He’s averaging 14.3 points on 44.9 percent shooting (42.6 [...]

James Harden and Stephen Curry? What now seems like a completely out-of-the-blue pairing was once, in fact, was a possibility. According to Bill Simmons of ESPN’s Grantland, when the Oklahoma City Thunder were shopping James Harden, the Golden State Warriors were one of the teams they engaged heavily in talks: But here’s the real killer. [...]

Serge Ibaka received an early (late?) Christmas gift from the NBA. Following an incident where Ibaka maliciously (yes, maliciously) struck Blake Griffin in the groin, the Oklahoma City Thunder’s power forward was fined $25,000 for his actions and his Flagrant 1 was upgraded to a Flagrant 2. Serge Ibaka has been fined $25,000 for his [...]

The NBA has a big issue on their hands. A huge one. Gigantic even. They have a sportsmanship problem. Almost a year ago, I penned a piece about sportsmanship, one that involved Serge Ibaka and Dwyane Wade. In that particular situation Ibaka and Wade became entangled. Okay, Ibaka essentially fell on Wade’s neck. The way [...]

Steve Nash knows the Los Angeles Lakers still have a lot of work to do. Los Angeles has won 12 of the last 17 games and is now just two games back of the final Western Conference playoff spot, but all still isn’t well. Why? Because, according to Nash, the Lakers still don’t have an [...]

Marcin Gortat and Russell Westbrook together at last? It’s a possibility. According to Paul Coro of the Arizona Republic, the Oklahoma City Thunder are talking to the Phoenix Suns about a potential Kendrick Perkings and Gortat swap: Much of the Suns’ trade talk seems to have simmered down as the Thursday 1 p.m. deadline nears, [...]

With a little over 20 games left in the season, the Los Angeles Lakers may have to do something they never do. Lose. The Lakers optimistically like to remind themselves that they are only 13 games out of first place in their division, but they are now 17 games behind the first place team in [...]

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. [...]

Kevin Martin was essentially considered a one-year rental upon joining the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he may now be here to stay. Most scoffed at the notion of him replacing James Harden as the end-all for Oklahoma City’s bench, yet he’s thrived off the pine and the Thunder are just as dominant (if not more) [...]

In a season that started with the promise of four All-Stars joining together on a championship quest, the Los Angeles Lakers stumbled through their first big test of the season. Despite their troubles, the Lakers problems are fixable. Losses are just that, but the Lakers going 0-4 against some of the best teams in the [...]
