    A lot of attention has been on Kevin Durant in the past couple of weeks. That’s nothing new though. The thing that is interesting is why the extra attention is there. Due to the injury of Russell Westbrook, all eyes on not only on Durant, but they are on his [...]

    In the last couple of year’s, we’ve seen many teams built by trades and through attempts to make a super team. Many big market teams have tried to take this approach but for a lot of smaller markets, they have to rely on the draft to build a strong contender. [...]

    Kobe Bryant, is one of the greatest players of all time. Cocky? Brash? Arrogant? Sure. Lethal? Mercurial? Game changer? Absolutely. However, in all reality Kobe Bryant will never be the same player again, and that is because injury has robbed him of his exceptional skills. That, and grey flecks of hair [...]

    I have never broken a bone. Well, once in the tip of my finger, but that was the type of minor break that you keep to yourself for fear of losing street cred. The most “hurt” I’ve ever played with was a migraine headache, at a practice, and there were [...]

    The Knicks-Pacers Eastern Conference semifinal is very clearly a matchup of strengths on one end of the court, and a battle of weaknesses on the other.

    The Chicago Bulls defeated the Miami Heat in game one of the Eastern Conference Finals, 93-86.  More impressive than the Bulls defeating the Heat in Miami, where they’ve only lost four times this season, is how they managed the win without Luol Deng, Kirk Hinrick, and of course, Derrick Rose.

    This season was supposed to be a rebuilding season for the Atlanta Hawks. They exceeded expectations.

    The NBA Playoffs have finally begun. Ten days ago I had my doubts. There was nothing to write about. The Miami Heat were playing a sub .500 team. The Lakers were bringing up guys from the D-League. The Celtics were old. The Bulls starting center had a dead foot. The [...]
