2015-2016 NBA Schedule: The Worst Road Trip For Each Team

0 comments by

Documentation of a new NBA schedule isn’t complete without documenting road trips, their durations, and their opponents. I am personally more interested in the numbers of back-to-backs and 4-in-5s. I am also more concerned about the ways in which weekend back-to-backs are handled. Those three issues stand out because there is either an emphasis on […]

On Aug. 29, we gave you the five foremost losers in the 2015-2016 NBA schedule. We now give you the five teams which benefited the most from the complexion of the schedule — not so much in terms of the arrangement of teams (that’s in many ways a separate point of focus), but the logistical […]

The 2015-2016 NBA schedule produced some very clear winners, which we’ll get to soon enough, but today, let’s start with the equally clear losers.

The 5 Best NBA Finals Performances

0 comments by

Individual games are one thing, full series quite another. Matthew Dellavedova discovered this truth in the 2015 NBA Finals. He had a moment in Game 2. He enjoyed a magnificent Game 3. The full series, however, caught up with him and the rest of a shorthanded Cleveland Cavalier crew. Andre Iguodala, on the other hand, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are something, right? Not only from a historical perspective, but in the sense that we always expect them to bounce back from disastrous seasons and develop a roster with at least a few stars roaming the hardwood. Then again, all of those thoughts subconsciously placed into our craniums over the years […]

The 1980s Los Angeles Lakers represent the NBA’s ultimate creation story

0 comments by on 8/28/2015

The Book of Genesis, the first book of the Holy Bible, is the most famous creation story known to humankind, since human beings began to write letters on paper. Other cultures and civilizations have their own revered texts and shared origin stories. A lucky few are present at the creation of something vast, remarkable, formidable, […]

The 5 Greatest NBA Non-Title Teams

0 comments by on 8/26/2015

NBA immortality is typically measured in rings. There are non-title teams that leave such a permanent mark on the sport, however, that their significance transcends counting championships. As Matt Zemek and I have discussed throughout the month, most of the greatest teams are spearheaded by the sport’s greatest players — elite talent makes elite teams. There […]

The Utah Jazz almost toppled Michael Jordan… which offers no comfort

0 comments by

Almost. The word often speaks to excellence, but it ultimately weighs down the heart and the soul of any competitor. Spill your guts in a four-hour tennis match, gain match point, and almost win. Play the heavy favorite into overtime in an NFL playoff game… and almost pull off the upset. Take Michael Jordan to […]
