You can make all the Eastern Conference and David Blatt jokes you want, but if you stop laughing for a second, you can appreciate just how much LeBron James has grown as a leader. This growth — as a person and as a player — is responsible for bringing the Cleveland Cavaliers to the doorstep […]

As Dan Aykroyd’s Bob Dole character said on Saturday Night Live decades ago, “You know it, I know it, and the American people know it.” The Cleveland Cavaliers are going to sweep the Atlanta Hawks out of the Eastern Conference finals, barring a piano falling on LeBron James before Game 3. After a Game 2 […]

It is easy to be merciless toward millionaire athletes and coaches who preside over a train wreck in a decisive moment of a late-stage playoff game. “THESE GUYS GET PAID SO MUCH! THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HIGHLY-TRAINED! THEY’VE SPENT THEIR LIVES DREAMING ABOUT PLAYING FOR A SPOT IN THE NBA FINALS! HOW COULD THEY […]

The Golden State Warriors did something over the last three days that I didn’t think was possible: They won the first two games of their Western Conference Final series against Houston without giving their fans any confidence whatsoever that they will win the series. Okay, maybe that’s a little strong, but if the 19,000 maniacs […]

A bad in-bounds pass left Dwight Howard in no mans land on this play and Andre Iguodala just threw it down with authority!

This was just a great all around play. Steph Curry snapped off the pass in one quick motion and it was right on the money. On his end, Bogut timed it perfectly and went up and got the ball at it’s highest point…

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 […]

Need an easy reason why the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Atlanta Hawks in game one of the Eastern Conference Championship series? JR Smith hit 8 (yes 8) of 12 three pointers and poured in 28 points. He was the only player to score off the Cavs bench. The eight three pointers set a Cavs post-season […]

Kent Bazemore came out of nowhere with this vicious dunk on Tristan Thompson. Thompson has played a heck of a game, he just found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and that’s what happens when you are an active defender.

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 […]

Just when you thought you couldn’t like Steph Curry any more than you do….his daughter steals the show at his post-game press conference after the Golden State Warriors game one victory over the Houston Rockets….
