NBA Rumors – Golden State Warriors Have Draymond Green to Cover for Stephen Curry

The Golden State Warriors can win when Stephen Curry isn’t playing well. They’re very good besides they’re exceptional MVP, especially when Draymond Green (unlike in the previous game) is free to influence the game with his intelligence and aggressiveness, seasoned with a little bit of illegal screens.

Jeremy Lin Does Things Kemba Walker Can’t; Charlotte Hornets Should Pay Attention

The Charlotte Hornets did what seemed impossible against the San Antonio Spurs despite an awful start and terrible game from Kemba Walker. Jeremy Lin got the chance from Steve Clifford to show how good he can be. There shouldn’t be anything surprising that he pulled it off on such a momentous occasion.

NBA Rumors – Cleveland Cavaliers Trying to Figure Out What LeBron James Wants

It’s always interesting how sports media works. The Cleveland Cavaliers beat up the Denver Nuggets and LeBron James had a triple double, but the most important thing seems to be yet another one of his weird social media moves, like unfollowing the team on Twitter.

NBA Scores & Standings

The San Antonio Spurs couldn’t hold on to a big lead or contain Jeremy Lin in a surprising loss to the Charlotte Hornets, while the Golden State Warriors overcame another bad shooting performance by Stephen Curry thanks to Draymond Green, his skills and his ability to do some illegal things referees ignore, and the Eastern conference playoff race is at a status quo with all four teams at 7-8-9-10 spots winning their games.

Jeremy Lin Upcoming Free Agency Hurt by Charlotte Hornets Treatment & Poor Shooting

In a perfect world, the NBA is a place where players do their best all the time with the team as their first priority, and teams play their best players without other interests affecting the decision making process.

For someone hitting free agency at the end of this season, that’s not good.

NBA Rumors – Warriors & Spurs Not Changed by One Regular Season Game

The San Antonio Spurs needed that win over the Golden State Warriors a lot more than the NBA champions needed it. Sure, it showed what Kawhi Leonard can do when he’s not chasing around Stephen Curry, and maybe the best player in the league can be stopped with the right kind of defense. But once the dust settles, one thing needs to be made clear: It was one regular season game.

NBA Rumors – Chicago Bulls Comfortable With Derrick Rose Leading

The Chicago Bulls seem to be waking up at the right time while possibly finding an answer to some of their offensive problems. And no, it isn’t giving the ball to Derrick Rose and/or Jimmy Butler and getting out of the way.

San Antonio Spurs Give Teams Hope by Stopping Stephen Curry & the Golden State Warriors

There wasn’t just one thing the San Antonio Spurs did that worked as they beat the Golden State Warriors 87-79 to not just keep their hopes alive of finishing first in the West, but to possibly provide a mini blueprint in how to stop Stephen Curry and the NBA champions offense.

Jeremy Lin Finally Find Rhythm, Steve Clifford Prefers Charlotte Hornets Stick to What’s Not Working

The Charlotte Hornets losing at home isn’t a disaster, but it happening against the Denver Nuggets should be an alarming sign. What else is there to worry about? Steve Clifford blindly worshipping Kemba Walker, which obviously results in Jeremy Lin being yanked out of a game while he’s doing the best he has in a very long time.

NBA Rumors – Miami Heat Offense With Joe Johnson is Scorching

The Miami Heat have the best offense in the NBA since Joe Johnson came over via trade. Dwyane Wade is often playing smartly and within the system instead of forcing things. Hassan Whiteside and Josh Richardson are one of the, if not the best, bench duos in the NBA. But this is the regular season, nothing more.
