Brad, Bucks, Bron: The men who would stop the Warriors

0 comments by

Some will say — and have already said — that the Golden State Warriors are not the owners of a 27-game NBA regular season winning streak after disposing of the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night: That’s entirely fair.

How Paul George and the Pacers can beat the 22-0 Golden State Warriors

0 comments by on 12/8/2015

After losing its first trio of games, there hasn’t been a better team in the Eastern Conference than the Indiana Pacers. Larry Bird’s reengineered contender — once a behemoth bruiser trading blows with LeBron James in the conference finals, now a sleek, offensive powerhouse — has hit a groove. Indiana owns the league’s third-best net […]

How Mario Chalmers And An Uptick in Foul Shooting Have Revitalized The Grizzlies

0 comments by on 12/4/2015

The Spurs beat the Grizzlies down on Thursday, 103-83. For the umpteenth season in a row, San Antonio is very, very strong — its ever-ready offense now equipped with a bronzed defense that is holding opponents captive in a straight jacket as they sing for Brazil. It might be a three-team league this season. Golden State […]

0 comments by on 12/2/2015

When it comes to low-hanging fruit, it doesn’t get any riper than the Philadelphia 76ers and Los Angeles Lakers. Through a month-plus of action this season, the Sixers and Lakers have managed to reach seemingly impossible levels of ineptitude, but in very different ways. A certain level of suck was expected from the Sixers this […]

The Hornets have won 10 of their last 14 games, inserting themselves into the suddenly deep Eastern Conference playoff picture after a preseason injury to Michael Kidd-Gilchrist turned many critics against them.
