Andy Greder of the St. Paul Pioneer […]

Jacque Vaughn and the Orlando Magic are at a crossroads

0 comments by on 1/31/2015

We should be better than this. This assertion is one of the last things an NBA head coach probably wants to hear from the front office and ownership. Sometimes this assertion is fair, perhaps in the case of the Orlando Magic, but other times it’s an unreasonable one, such as the Sacramento Kings’ current head coaching […]

What to make of the Dion Waiters trade

0 comments by on 1/6/2015

Over the summer, LeBron James reportedly called Dion Waiters days before he made the decision to return home to Cleveland advising the former Syracuse star to “be ready”. In James’ SI letter, he cited Waiters as someone he thought he could help “elevate”.  All of this to say that James clearly thought he could turn Waiters’ career trajectory around […]

Who should coach the Cleveland Cavaliers?

0 comments by on 12/31/2014

In a NBA landscape where Flip Saunders has more job titles than wins this season is LeBron James replacing David Blatt as head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers really that crazy? It probably is, at least on the surface, but with reports now coming out that the Cavs have “completely abandoned Blatt’s offensive system” and […]

The Portland Trail Blazers (19-6) sit atop the Northwest Division in the Western Conference with the surging Oklahoma City Thunder (12-13) still seven games back in the race for homecourt advantage come playoff time, but why don’t the Blazers feel like serious contenders?

What exactly is going on in Sacramento?

0 comments by on 12/15/2014

With the 2014-15 NBA season a fourth of the way completed, time is running out for head coaches leading underachieving squads, like, Monty Williams of the New Orleans Pelicans for instance, but essentially nobody expected the proverbial hourglass to be empty for Sacramento Kings head coach Mike Malone.
