NBA Trade Rumors: Rudy Gay Good as Gone from Grizzlies

NBA Trade Rumors: Rudy Gay Good as Gone from Grizzlies

From hereon out, every game Rudy Gay plays with the Memphis Grizzlies could be his last. We’ve talked about it since the Grizzlies went on that impressive playoff run in 2011 without him, but now, it’s never seemed more real. With a boatload of money committed to Mike Conley, Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph and Gay [...]

Serge Ibaka Discovering New Range

Serge Ibaka Discovering New Range

Serge Ibaka is one of the Oklahoma City Thunder’s several bright spots this year. OKC’s big man maintains the block figure (3 per game) that we’ve come to expect of him. But he’s become an even bigger factor on the offensive side of things this year. Ibaka sits on averages of 14.5 ppg and 8.5 [...]

Early Results for Most Improved Player: James Harden

Early Results for Most Improved Player: James Harden

James Harden must be the most conflicted player in the NBA. His former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder are a league-leading 24-6, while his current team, the Houston Rockets are 17-14 and headed in a different direction. While he watches his former teammates try to chase down a championship; Harden’s Rockets are trying to chase [...]

Russell Westbrook Would Save Slam Dunk Contest

Russell Westbrook Would Save Slam Dunk Contest

Let’s be honest—last year’s NBA Slam Dunk Competition was the embodiment of awful. Far be it from me to belittle players’ displays of athleticism, but not only did the dunk contest lack the big names were used to seeing, but the creativity and explosiveness of the dunks were clearly inferior to what we have become [...]

Kevin Durant Aiming For 50-40-90 Season

Oklahoma City’s most talented hoop artist is looking to join a very exclusive group: the 50-40-90 club. Larry Bird, Mark Price, Reggie Miller, Dirk Nowitzki, and Steve Nash make up this club of players who have achieved 50% from the field, 40% from three, and 90% at the freethrow line for a full season. That [...]

What Are the OKC Thunder to Do With Kevin Martin?

What Are the OKC Thunder to Do With Kevin Martin?

James Harden is off and running with the Houston Rockets, but there is a new elephant in the Oklahoma City Thunder’s locker room in the form of Kevin Martin. The high-scoring shooting guard came to the Thunder in what was, to say the least, a painstakingly difficult Harden trade. Oklahoma City was hard-pressed to relinquish [...]

Josh Smith and Atlanta Hawks Are Not NBA Title Contenders

Josh Smith and Atlanta Hawks Are Not NBA Title Contenders

A large part of me wants to believe in the Atlanta Hawks. Heck, looking at their 9-5 record, a large part of me is telling I should believe in them. But I don’t. Though Atlanta is fresh off a six game winning streak, it may have been one of the least indicative winning streaks in [...]

Chris Paul and LA Clippers Remain An NBA Wild Card

Chris Paul and LA Clippers Remain An NBA Wild Card

The Los Angeles Clippers are absolutely infuriating. Yes, infuriating. 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 [...]

Andre Iguodala and Nuggets Not Playing Like NBA Contenders

The Denver Nuggets have a problem. Strike that, the Nuggets have a bounty of problems, none more pressing, however, than their overall start to the season. After having what many deemed one of the most fruitful offseasons in the NBA, Denver currently sits at 4-6. To put that record into a more significant context, let’s [...]
