You’ve read the title, you know what this is going to be about. Let me preface it by saying that I am a hater of James Harden. I’ll admit it, I’m not going to disguise my intentions here. I’ve heard everyone talking about how great he is for a few seasons now and how h...

Guess what? I’m back baby! Sure, I may have gone on a little hiatus there but it was totally intentional and had nothing to do with summer and then the start of college. My phone was kind enough to alert me the other day that the 2019-2020 NBA season is right around th...

Now that the dust has REALLY settled (couldn’t be so sure with only one deadline this year), we can finally take a look at what all went down on July 31st (and a few goings on in the preceding weeks). Basically what I’m trying to say is trades happened, and they happen...

So here we are, another Warriors Finals trip secured (but finally against a fresh face). The Toronto Raptors, just a few months after the organization was ripped to shreds for trading away star DeMar Derozan for superstar Kawhi Leonard, have clinched their first NBA Fi...

The Bucks are trampling through the East and the Warriors are cruising through the West; what’s new this season? On the Bucks’ side, nothing really. But for the Warriors, there is an unfamiliar hole in the starting lineup, one created by the strained right calf of supe...

He may not be better than Kobe (as one talk show host was quick to declare), but Kawhi Leonard is certainly one of the best players in the current NBA and his historic run in these Playoffs has only furthered that status. As of Wednesday morning, Kawhi is averaging 31....
