The Washington Wizards didn’t make an adjustment in the first round of the NBA playoffs; they created an entirely new identity. During the regular season, all four of their lineups that saw over 100 minutes featured two big men in the group of Nene Hilario, Marcin Gortat, Kris Humphries, and Kevin Seraphin. Washington’s starting unit […]

The Los Angeles Clippers are supposedly a team riddled with personality issues. Chris Paul is apparently a jerk. Austin Rivers is daddy’s little boy. Blake Griffin hates Chris Paul because Chris Paul is a jerk. Fun stuff like that. Los Angeles struggling in the first few games of its series against the San Antonio Spurs […]

If you were to ask 100 people in a room about the length of the NBA’s first-round playoff series, you’d get a reasonable number of responses advocating a return to the best-of-five format: Yes, it’s hard to deny that there’s something about the Kevin Love injury in a 3-0 series which makes it easy to […]

Every life is different. Some lives acquire a linear quality — they steadily march forward, not necessarily without blemishes or problems, but in ways that enable individuals to move from one place or challenge to the next. For others, life takes on a circular nature — specific details might change, but larger patterns remain the […]

Sooooo Darko is having fun post-NBA! Darko Milicic was filmed having himself a blast. And by “having himself a blast,” I mean going shirtless at what appears to be a family function, chugging brew with no hands, singing out loud and making sure his tattoos are also guzzling beer. I’ll just leave this here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VKIY5fNqNc

Well this was a cheap hit. During the Cavs-Celtics game, things were getting heated when JR Smith decided Jae Crowder didn’t need his teeth anymore and cracked his jaw in with a cheap shot. Aside from getting tossed, needless to say, Smith will definitely be receiving a hefty fine and possible suspension for this stupid […]

The Los Angeles Clippers tied up their series against the San Antonio Spurs 2-2 today and this Chris Paul shot might have been the best of the day….

Louis Armstrong might have sung, “Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans,” but I don’t think the Golden State Warriors will spend any time longing for the days when Anthony Davis was between them and moving forward in the NBA playoffs. Still, after three games that seemed to be going in the […]

Words are great things. We used them to tell stories, describe events or people, and everything else under the sun. It helps us and others to understand and appreciate the events which unfold around us. However, there are times when the proper words are not yet in existence to correctly describe specific things. This is […]

One can certainly look at the New Orleans Pelicans’ “sweeping” exit from the 2015 NBA Playoffs and conclude that head coach Monty Williams is not likely to lead this franchise to greater riches. However, there’s a difference between “not likely” and “certain,” and it’s this fundamental point which sits at the heart of the matter […]

The Milwaukee Bucks got their first win of the series against the Chicago Bulls on a fantastic in-bounds play that saw Jarryd Bayless just beat the buzzer. Take a look…

The Atlanta Hawks stand at the center of several recognizable paths after three games in the 2015 NBA Playoffs. Whether that’s a good or bad thing for them? We don’t know… but we’ll soon begin to collect much more valuable and revealing information. The final two rounds of the NBA playoffs represent showcase events in which […]

A neat and tidy way to view the showcase first-round playoff series between the Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs is that the Spurs enjoyed the benefit of the doubt. Tony Parker nowhere close to his best? Eh, big deal — the Spurs are still the Spurs. They’ll figure out a way. Tiago Splitter […]

Paul Pierce averaged the least amount of points in his career with the Washington Wizards but without him they would likely not have the lead they have in this series against the Raptors and almost certainly would not have the momentum. Pierce averaged 11.9 ppg during the season and has increased that to 16.0 ppg […]

You snooze, you lose… unless you’re the Golden State Warriors against the New Orleans Pelicans in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The team with the NBA’s best record is about to reach the second round after a remarkable Game 3 escape. However, a clear pattern of regression coexists with the Warriors’ impending advancement […]
