When the season began, this looked like a match made in heaven. Dwight Howard, the best center in the NBA, and the Los Angeles Lakers, a team always thinking about title rings, with a long line of great big men. A few months later, and it wouldn’t be too surprising if this isn’t a match made for life. More
Best player? No, not yet. Not until he takes the Oklahoma City Thunder all the way, possibly again vs the anointed and three time MVP winner, LeBron James. But the best team in the NBA? Probably, if you go by the records. Kevin Durant was too much for their biggest rivals in the West this season, playing without their number one player. More
It looks like closing out games in the fourth quarters is turning into the Brandon Jennings job, while Monta Ellis takes a side seat to the younger and better guard in the duo, while Ersan Ilyasova is suddenly making up for all of his bad games earlier this season for the Milwaukee Bucks. More
Amid all the talks of needing a trade or not, the Boston Celtics had to go through the Kyrie Irving experience. Not fun, not good. Irving exploded with 40 points, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to their second win in three games, something that hasn’t happened in over a month. More

It’s been official for days – Seattle is getting its basketball team back, while the Sacramento Kings are soon to be a thing of the past. The questions are how will the new/old Sonics/Kings look, who should be their head coach, and what to do with DeMarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans. More
Some might say that regardless of their injuries, the Minnesota Timberwolves weren’t supposed to make the playoffs this season. That’s debatable, but what isn’t is their incredible line of injured players now and earlier, including Kevin Love, Ricky Rubio, Chase Budinger and Brandon Roy. More
For the sixth straight time, the Lakers lost on the road. Old, slow, out-coached outplayed, call it whatever you like. The next to torture the bunch that is Kobe Bryant and other superstars like Pau Gasol, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash were the Chicago Bulls, who aren’t that even good at home on most nights. More
There’s somewhat of a pattern forming in the short-term rivalry between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors, and one of the aspects in it is Stephen Curry going absolutely wild from everywhere on the floor when he faces the team with the best record in the division. More
