Don’t Read Too Much Into Washington’s Win Over Atlanta… But Give the Wizards Credit

0 comments by on 5/4/2015

Not every outcome of a game has to have some everlasting, mythic, and truly meaningful story to come out of it. Sometimes it is what it is, and what that can be is what exactly it was — one result of one specific game. People are going to ask the question, though: What does Washington’s […]

The Golden State Warriors got out of the gates with a 101-86 game one win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Steph Curry had 22 games and a game high 7 assists. Here’s a look at one of those assists as Curry goes behind the back to set up his teammate for a three pointer…

0 comments by

Bull Durham brought us “the church of baseball,” but if you worship at the church of basketball, there’s no more fascinating second-round NBA playoff series than the one which is about to commence in Atlanta on Sunday.

Despite A Laughable Playoff Exit, The Milwaukee Bucks Have a Bright Future

0 comments by

The Milwaukee Bucks failing, while making a complete spectacle of themselves in the process, might seem like a big deal. It isn’t. Trust me. Sure, no team in any sport would like to be nearly doubled up (120-66) in a season-ending Game 6 loss, but sometimes the story of a series isn’t the singular embarrassment […]

Mid-Range and Center Stage: The Maligned Mid-Range Jumper Makes A Difference

0 comments by

The worst shot in basketball is the shot just inside the three-point arc. Everyone knows this. Everyone agrees upon this. A few feet closer to the basket still makes for a relatively long jumper without the additional point. Therefore, a 19-foot jumper at the professional level and a 17-foot jumper at the collegiate level represent […]

Watch: Giannis Antetokounmpo tackled Mike Dunleavy

0 comments by

This is one of those plays that harkens back to playground basketball. On one end of the court you feel you’ve been wrong by another player (Dunleavy pushes Giannis to the ground) and then you get up and sprint down to the other end of the court ready to block the other guys shot off […]
