The Golden State Warriors weren’t always elegant in their run to the 2015 NBA title, and goodness knows, Draymond Green frequently approached the line between “aggressive and dirty” on the court. He can be reckless at times. Yet, one would ultimately have to conclude that the Warriors had no knuckleheads on their roster. Championship teams […]

With the majority of the moves from the NBA offseason all wrapped up, I’ve decided to give some sort of award to all 30 teams. We will go in A-B-C order. Atlanta Hawks Best Sequel Award (or so they hope) The problem with going for sequels is the second movie typically isn’t as good as […]

Tuesday night’s NBA Draft Lottery could go a long way in terms of bringing normalcy back to the league. After a season that saw some of the most storied and revered franchises in the Association relegated to “why the hell is this team on a national broadcast?” status, 14 ping-pong balls could work to accelerate […]
