Steph Curry. What else can we say about this guy? This shot was essentially from beyond the other teams three point line

The end of the Hawks game almost made Jeff Teague’s offensive plays in the final minute an after-thought. But, Teague made some incredible passes to set up his teammates for easy lay-ups in crunch time and that is impressive. With the score tied at 89, check out this dime from Teague to DeMarre Carroll. Great […]

Wow! What a finish to the Atlanta Hawks/Washington Wizards series. It came down to one play. Paul Pierce had to hurry to get off a defended three pointer and it looked like he nailed a three pointer to tie the game and send it to overtime…. Paul Pierce.

Injured, banged up, with rumors of an impending firing of Tom Thibodeau whenever the season was to be over, the Chicago Bulls are no longer in the NBA playoffs. Sad face, right? Well, maybe not if you are management, which has reportedly been wanting to fire Thibodeau when the season was over. That time is now […]

What makes watching sports fun is getting to see something unique. If the expected always happened there would be no reason to waste time viewing. Whether it be a singular miraculous play, an amazing sequence of events, or a contextually historic moment, that’s why you spend so much time endeared to what’s nothing more than […]

This will be a compilation of information, tweets, thoughts and opinion from day one of the NBA Draft Combine in Chicago. It’s basically just some notes from the show in case you didn’t have four hours during a weekday afternoon to watch the proceedings. I’m assuming that’s most people, so be grateful I did it […]

Well, it seems that plans are underway again for the coronation of the Golden State Warriors, an event that seemed inevitable two weeks ago, then looked impossible a week ago. Two consecutive wins and the return of the 3-pointer have calmed the faithful, to the point where again, it seems inconceivable that they could lose […]

The New Orleans Pelicans fired head coach Monty Williams on Tuesday afternoon. Williams had been with the Pelicans since 2010, guiding the team towards incremental improvements every year before finally breaking through the playoff barrier this season. The reasoning behind Williams’ firing is admittedly understandable, but the timing is suspect. Pelicans general manager Dell Demps, […]

The NBA Draft Combine went into full swing Wednesday in Chicago. Each player in attendance had his physical measurements done. This might sound dull to some, but this is part of the process of gathering information which informs NBA organizations and enables us to get a better sense of how the draft board will shape […]

Vince Carter used to be one of the most exciting players to watch in the entire NBA. That point aside, the larger truth about the former dunk contest champion is that he’s been a really solid-to-good player for most of his 16 years in the league. However, like every high-flyer and star before him, it […]

Let’s get something straight at the outset: The Atlanta Hawks and the Washington Wizards are good basketball teams. The Hawks won 60 regular-season contests. That takes talent. The Wizards have fought well in the playoffs with John Wall either out or battling injuries. Randy Wittman has coached far better than he did in the regular […]

It wasn’t a pretty game but it was filled with drama down the stretch. Paul Pierce hit another big shot as he drained an open three pointer with ten seconds left. Then, Dennis Schröder drove the ball and missed but Al Horford stole the rebound from NeNe and put it in for the Atlanta Hawks…

In the opening half of the NBA season, we got a glimpse of something rare in a league typically ruled by transcendent stars and teams. As preseason favorites such as the Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, Bulls, and Cavaliers battled early issues with injuries and unbalanced chemistry, a handful of unusual suspects brought a scarcely-observed air of […]

Taj Gibson mixed it up with Matthew Dellavedova and the result was Gibson getting assessed a flagrant two foul and being ejected from the game. The play started near the three point line with a hard screen where Gibson layed his shoulder in Dellavedova. Gibson then went over the top of Dellavedova on a rebound […]

Here in the Bay Area, we have had the opportunity to watch the San Francisco Giants win three World Series championships in the last five years. Entire books are being written about those teams and the reasons for their success, and they are numerous. One consistent thing, however, trumps everything else when considering how the […]
