After marching through the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers were sent to what seemed like an entirely new dimension Thursday night in Game One of the NBA Finals at ORACLE Arena. The scary part was — and as it has been for the most of the playoffs — it didn’t even seem like the […]

As LeBron James gets set to play in his sixth NBA Finals I figured it would be fun time to rank his opponents in the championship round. James has battled three different incarnations of the San Antonio Spurs, the Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder and is getting ready for the Golden State Warriors. * 6. […]

There is more than one specific way to win in the NBA. The Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Golden State Warriors all have distinctive, unique styles. Despite those differences they all have something in common – they base the way they play around their talent. Houston puts James Harden in position to maximize […]

It’s never good when injuries happen, but sometimes underwhelming circumstances can lead to an unexpected positive outcome. We might have had one of those moments in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals that saw the Golden State Warriors beat the Houston Rockets 110-106 at ORACLE Arena. In the first quarter Dwight Howard hurt his […]

What makes watching sports fun is getting to see something unique. If the expected always happened there would be no reason to waste time viewing. Whether it be a singular miraculous play, an amazing sequence of events, or a contextually historic moment, that’s why you spend so much time endeared to what’s nothing more than […]

This will be a compilation of information, tweets, thoughts and opinion from day one of the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago. It’s basically just some notes from the show in case you didn’t have four hours during a weekday afternoon to watch the proceedings. I’m assuming that’s most people, so be grateful I did it […]

The NBA Draft Combine went into full swing Wednesday in Chicago. Each player in attendance had his physical measurements done. This might sound dull to some, but this is part of the process of gathering information which informs NBA organizations and enables us to get a better sense of how the draft board will shape […]

Efficiency is a word that has inundated the lexicon of the modern NBA. Offensive efficiency, defensive efficiency, this player is awesome because he’s so efficient – it’s everywhere. Efficiency is also part of what separated LeBron James from everyone else. It is was one of his vast skills, but it always stuck out. He finished […]
Can this man catch a break for once? Chicago basketball fans certainly hope so.

This was a special, iconic moment for Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls: While the incredible Rose shot is what will be remembered from Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the reasoning that put the Chicago Bulls in position for that to happen is what interests me most. In any aspect of life, leaving […]

The second round of the NBA playoffs is giving us quite a bit of symmetry. All four series are tied at one as we head into today’s rare day off. Since the 1979-’80 season, all four conference semifinal series have been tied at one on only two occasions (2012-’13 was the other). It seems like […]

Trying to figure out the future of the San Antonio Spurs is currently an impossible process. It needs to be done in the manner of when you get the DVD of a movie and have multiple alternate endings. San Antonio’s 2014-2015 season came to a heartbreaking end, losing Game Seven of its first-round series to […]
