Combine drills, measurements, lottery results, rumors, speculation, media posturing … it must be draft season. With just four teams remaining in the 2015 NBA Playoffs, this mock draft is for the 26 other teams sitting at home. There are only so many opportunities to improve your roster in the offseason, and the draft is a […]

I did not see this coming. I have to confess that I did have a contrary thought Tuesday night as I watched Riley Curry take over America, but I didn’t think it would blow up like this. Mine was a fleeting, small thought, along the lines of, “Well, if you’re a radio producer trying to […]

The majority of humans are solid people. Well, at least I like to think so. This, however, is intended for the less enlightened people who roam our planet. * To Whom It May Concern, Hey. How you doing? Hope your morning is going swell. We need to talk. Relax. Everything will be okay. Well, okay […]

Stopping the Golden State Warriors is a little like putting a sweater on an octopus. You’re always going to have a couple of tentacles unaccounted for. Last night it was Shaun Livingston who refused to go where the Houston Rockets wanted him to. He scored 16 first-half points, more than he had ever scored in […]

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 are the ingredients that turn NBA players into superstars? They have to be really good at basketball, obviously. It doesn’t hurt to play in a market that provides a platform for them to regularly showcase their abilities to the nation. A little showmanship and being in some national commercials likely help as well. There […]

Hit us up on Twitter @CrossoverNBA If there were a list of the five most absurd sporting events, the NBA Draft Lottery would need to be up there. Players in suits, lately, people that have zero to do with the decision making process as representatives of teams, and no longer is it reserved for halftime […]

The Golden State Warriors will go as far as Steph Curry will carry them. That is inarguable. That being said and agreed to, how far that will be depends rather dramatically on how well his teammates play. If you don’t believe me, sit down for a chat with Curry’s predecessor, Rick Barry. The star of […]

They easily won more games than any other team in the Eastern Conference this season and had four All-Stars, but that hasn’t stopped basketball fans from questioning the Atlanta Hawks’ status as a serious championship contender. Despite having the second longest active streak of playoff appearances behind only the dynasty that is the San Antonio […]

Tuesday night’s NBA Draft Lottery could go a long way in terms of bringing normalcy back to the league. After a season that saw some of the most storied and revered franchises in the Association relegated to “why the hell is this team on a national broadcast?” status, 14 ping-pong balls could work to accelerate […]

The NBA playoffs are about to partake in their version of the Final Four. What is shocking about the four teams remaining, though, is that it is chalk. The top two seeds from each conference managed to make it this far, but they all have battle scars. Consequently, there are as many questions as answers […]

We have reached the portion of the NBA playoffs where there are (finally) only four teams remaining. With Cleveland, Atlanta, Golden State, and Houston being the sole survivors of an 82-game season and a grueling playoffs, fully expect hyperbole to be in maximum overdrive. Most of the talk going forward will be about each of the […]

Let the questions begin. Let the think pieces roll out. After the five-quarter collapse we just saw from the Los Angeles Clippers, they’ve invited every word of the negative press they’ll be getting from here on out. But let’s get one thing straight — L.A.’s no-show in Game 7 is not proof that Chris Paul was born without […]
