The Bucks stop it here — the Warriors’ winning streak ends in Milwaukee

Yes, the Golden State Warriors’ regular season winning streak — the second-longest in NBA history at 28 games — ended on Saturday night because of the accumulated attrition which is part of the 82-game NBA deathmarch. The streak ended because Harrison Barnes was injured, and because Klay Thompson’s injury created a domino effect which caught […]

Giannis Stretching, Bucks Stumbling Out Of The Gate

Giannis Antetokounmpo was called for stepping out of bounds twice in the first six minutes of his season. That’s right — guys, he can barely fit on the court anymore.

Stan Van Gundy isn’t building a Magic 2.0 team

The Detroit Pistons are 11-3 since waiving Josh Smith on December 22. We all knew Smith wasn’t a good fit in Mo-town, but seriously? Personally, I like to say I told you so to anyone and everyone who thought it was a good idea for the Pistons to sign Smith in the first place. He’s […]

The Pistons are really bad, and there’s no end in sight
