The night the NBA began to worry

0 comments by on 11/11/2015

That’s an admittedly alarmist title, but it’s not exactly untrue. Tuesday night was the night the NBA began to worry… about the health of many of its best players. Bradley Beal did not play in what was one of the most anticipated early-season games on the schedule, the clash between Beal’s Washington Wizards and the […]

Same Old Warriors, Thank Goodness

0 comments by on 10/29/2015

It wasn’t a long offseason for Warriors fans, but it was interesting. A steady diet of photos of the NBA Finals trophy from various parts of the world was interspersed with disparaging comments about the team, and then it was announced that Steve Kerr was going to be only peripherally involved for an indeterminate amount […]

I’ve been picking NBA Over/Under win totals (actually every sport) for as long as I can remember. It’s a shtick I stole from Mike & the Mad Dog, which was the first place I ever heard of such a thing.  Here are my selections for the upcoming 2015-16 NBA season using sportsbook.ag’s lines. * Milwaukee […]

Which teams are most inclined to disappoint us in the coming regular season? We gave you the teams most likely to surprise, but now we have to turn around and consider a frown.

Weekend Back-To-Backs: Southwest Division

0 comments by on 8/21/2015

There’s no better or deeper division in the NBA than the Southwest, although the Central at least deserves a place in the conversation. (If the Pacers can join the Bulls, Cavs and Bucks in the playoff parade, that discussion will intensify next spring.) Our survey of weekend back-to-backs has revealed so many fascinating differences between […]

Way-too-early NBA Predictions: The Playoff Bubble In The West

0 comments by on 8/18/2015

Can’t wait for the 2015-’16 season to start? We neither. Now that most of the off-season’s major moves are complete, we’ll dive into some ludicrously premature predictions for next season. In the coming days and weeks we’ll attempt to project the standings in each conference, five teams at a time, before trying to lock down […]

The NBA Offseason Team Awards

0 comments by on 7/20/2015

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 […]

NBA Schedule In Focus: Why The New Orleans Pelicans Should Make The Playoffs Next Season

0 comments by on 7/17/2015

We conclude our NBA schedule series this week with a positive example of how a lack of division-heavy scheduling can influence a team’s season. Earlier in the week, we examined why the Boston Celtics face such a tough path in the Eastern Conference, despite residing in the comparatively soft Atlantic Division. Boston will play just […]

0 comments by on 7/2/2015

That was a lot to take in. The first full day of NBA free agency was a 24-hour festival of pure lunacy. Here’s a look back at some of the transactions. LOLakers  Ok, I’m not starting off with non moves, and as a New York Knicks fan, I shouldn’t laugh at other teams, but this […]

0 comments by on 7/1/2015

Night one of NBA free agency is in the books and it didn’t take long for it to start popping. Lets dig into all of the news. New Orleans Pelicans Sign Anthony Davis to a five-year, $145-million max extension.  People in New Orleans don’t need to hear this from me, but go right ahead and […]

Alvin Gentry must worry about his backcourt, not Anthony Davis

0 comments by on 6/1/2015

Some coaching hires are met with waves of acclaim and very little opposition. Some hires involve relative unknowns, or if not that, people who lived so far under the radar that it’s hard to even form an opinion. Such was the case with Erik Spoelstra in Miami after the high-profile Pat Riley years (interrupted by […]

New Orleans Pelicans Put Irrational Faith in Dell Demps, Fire Monty Williams

0 comments by on 5/14/2015

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, […]
