We’re a week into the NBA’s Preseason, which means every day we get a little bit closer to NBA basketball. As excited as you and I are for our favorite teams to get back onto the hardwood, the 2015 NBA rookie class has to be a thousand times more eager to prove that they belong, […]

Thabo Sefolosha Being Found “Not Guilty” Should Not End Discussion

0 comments by on 10/10/2015

When a person is acquitted, it’s easy to think that a given story is over. The drama has run its course. The matter has been solved. This is anything but the case for Thabo Sefolosha… and for us as well. Misdemeanor obstructing government administration, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest were the charges Thabo Sefolosha faced. […]

Matt Barnes, NBA Security, and a Race Witch Hunt

0 comments by

Deep breaths, everyone. It is well known by know that Matt Barnes went all Temecula on Derek Fisher, because the latter was apparently going with the former’s ex. Since this is the NBA and all, many people have reported that NBA Security was unaware of the situation, but that it was going to look into […]

NBA expansion to Europe, and a classic case of sports fatigue

0 comments by

On the second Thursday of October, the Boston Celtics play Real Madrid as part of the NBA’s Global Games Tour. This has naturally, inevitably, raised the topic of NBA expansion to Europe. It’s natural and inevitable, yes… and also quite tiring. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver had to shoot down notions of expansion to Europe on […]

Northwest Passage: The Northwest Division has been passed to a new set of coaches

0 comments by on 10/7/2015

It’s conspicuous, perhaps even a bit jarring, to look at a professional sports league with six divisions and notice that one division has as many new head coaches as the rest of the league combined. When opening night arrives in a few weeks, the NBA’s Northwest Division will have three head coaches who did not […]

Stung: The Hornets lose Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for at least six months

0 comments by on 10/6/2015

The news was shattering for Charlotte on Monday afternoon: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, newly signed to an extension, will miss at least six months, and quite possibly the whole NBA regular season.  History is replete with examples of careers that have been derailed or severely diminished by injuries, so in that obvious sense, there’s never a good […]

Everyone Making Fun of Nikoloz Tskitishvili Is Mean… Kind Of

0 comments by on 10/5/2015

I am not sure why we do this, but whenever an NBA player is drafted highly and fails, we calls him a bust. That has always seemed rather strange to me. Why is the player a bust and not the people who drafted him? Was the player supposed to tell the general manager, “No, boss. Don’t […]

Luke Walton Will Get to Make The Most Out of Dry Head Coaching Run

0 comments by on 10/4/2015

Most new NBA head coaches walk into situations that more closely resemble dumpster fires than resplendent city gardens. Then again, most new NBA head coaches don’t start their head coaching careers in an interim capacity with a defending championship team. Nevertheless, being an NBA head coach — no matter the how — is a big […]

John Henson and the need to be patient

0 comments by on 10/3/2015

As an NBA fan/analyst/consumer/observer, you almost certainly have an opinion on John Henson signing a four-year extension with the Milwaukee Bucks. News of the agreement broke on Friday morning. Having an opinion on Henson and his deal, in the neighborhood of $45 million, is perfectly fine. Our critical thinking and reasoning skills drive us to […]
