The 2014-2015 NBA season was a tough one for the Oklahoma City Thunder as they succumbed to injuries. And in spite of not having the services of point guard Russell Westbrook or small forward Kevin Durant for lengthy periods of the season, the Thunder were still able to win 45 games. Typically 45 wins should [...]
This past summer at the 2015 NBA Draft, I like many people questioned the decision by the New York Knicks to draft power forward Kristaps Porzingis.

In Leonard's two years at San Diego State, he was a two-time, First-team, All-Mountain West Conference player and he [...]
Paul George has returned with a vengeance for the Indiana Pacers.
When the Nets left New Jersey in favor of Brooklyn, New York in 2012, they brought with them a ton of excitement. The Nets won 49 games in their first season in Brooklyn and the future appeared to be bright for them. And although the Nets have made the playoffs in each of the last [...]
The Sacramento Kings have been a professional basketball franchise for nearly 70 years and the majority of their existence has been spent in futility. In 1951, the Kings won their first and only NBA Championship as they were known as the Rochester Royals. But in those days, the NBA only consisted of 11 franchises as [...]
