Bradley Beal is close to a return

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal is on the up and up after suffering a fractured left wrist in an October preseason game. Coach Randy Wittman did not give an exact date on a return for the prolific shooter, but is hoping that the game against the Cavaliers on Friday is a realistic return date.

Checking in on the defending NBA champs

The defending NBA champs, San Antonio Spurs, have started off a bit slow, so what gives? I mean these are the Spurs!

To break the Spurs’ lackluster start, Bloguin’s own Project Spurs’ Jeff Garcia and Aaron Preine broke down the Spurs slow start to the season.

Are there any chemistry issues? Who have the Spurs been missing more Patty Mills or Tiago Splitter? What about the up-and-down start?

Also on the show, the duo discusses Kawhi Leonard’s future with the team? He says he wants to be a Spur for life but will the team open the vault?

All this and much more including Tim Duncan vs. Kobe Bryant – who has had the better career?

DeAndre Jordan has excelled for Clippers even as Blake Griffin has struggled

While 5-3 would be a pretty good record for most NBA teams through eight games it is actually a little disappointing for the Los Angeles Clippers. Last season was also disappointing for the Clippers, as they lost in the Western Conference Semifinals to the Oklahoma City Thunder in six games. That has carried over to this […]

The Rockets play defense?

While Kevin Durant was yelling obscenities at Dwight Howard, the Thunder and the Rockets were engaged in an intriguing and ugly game of basketball. A 69-65 win for the Rockets does not quite fit the Rockets’ storyline. This is a team with tons of offensive potential and little in the way of defense. The story […]

Knicks problems more personnel than system

Carmelo Anthony can do only so much. His 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter of Friday’s loss to the Jazz was essential Carmelo Anthony. It was him just taking the ball, lifting up and draining the shot. Nothing more, nothing less. That might be the ideal Anthony offense. He is the ultimate one-on-one player and […]

Rockets visit the most expensive Thunder ticket in November

Aside from the first season when the Thunder arrived from Seattle making the move to Oklahoma City Thunder fans have been spoiled to a degree.

Point guard battle on Monday between Rose and Paul
