The Cleveland Cavaliers are facing the summer with uncertainty once again. LeBron James, the franchise leader in almost every category imaginable, is expected to forego his final year and become a free agent and there is a chance that he might not be back next season. With the NBA Draft looming next week, the Cavs […]

The most talked about news and rumors around the NBA these days is the free agent destination of LeBron James. Just like in 2010 when everyone’s guess was as good as anyone else’s, it is difficult to weed out truth from rumor, or theory from reality, when it comes to what James plans to do […]

The Finals ended last week with the Golden State Warriors once again at the mountaintop.

It left Kevin Durant holding not only the championship trophy, but […]

The Golden State Warriors are now officially a dynasty after winning the 2018 NBA Finals, their third championship in four years. The rest of the league is trying to catch up to the Warriors, who have formed a team that is not only comprised of some of the best players in the game, they also […]

The 2018 NBA Finals have been a lopsided affair so far with the superstar-laden Golden State Warriors lording it over the hapless Cleveland Cavaliers. Though the Cavs are the best that the Eastern Conference can offer after topping the Boston Celtics more than a week ago, it’s clear that LeBron James is lacking in support […]

LeBron James has been single-handedly carrying his teammates in the 2018 NBA Finals. Actually, he’s been doing that throughout the playoffs. Come to think of it, James really has been carrying the Cleveland Cavaliers the entire season. The pressure to do so again, four more times, that lead to winning the championship has weighed heavily […]

Game 3 of the Finals showed just how valuable Kevin Durant is to the Golden State Warriors. With two-time MVP Stephen Curry and All-Star Klay Thompson struggling to make shots, it was up to the MVP by way of Oklahoma City to save the day. Durant saved the Warriors Wednesday night from horrendous shooting by […]

For the second straight year, the Cleveland Cavaliers find themselves down 0-3 to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals. Kevin Durant played a spectacular game with a championship performance that trumps any of his previous playoff games. Durant’s 43 points,13 rebounds and seven assists easily bested LeBron James and his triple-double game of […]

Different game. Same result. The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t know what hit them Sunday night, going down 0-2 against the Golden State Warriors in the first two games of the 2018 NBA Finals at Oracle Arena.

Nearly two years ago, Kevin Durant took his talents to the Bay Area, leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder, his former team becoming downtrodden and in search of an identity.

In the midst of the 2018 NBA Finals between the Golden State and the Cleveland Cavaliers, the free-agency of LeBron James looms large over the outcome of this series.

The Philadelphia 76ers are the talk of the NBA after entering the playoffs after a long drought, but the biggest and most damaging news about the team currently came from an exposé involving Bryan Colangelo, president of basketball operations.

The Western Conference championship celebration by the Golden State Warriors is a familiar refrain for the Bay Area squad, having accomplished the feat four straight times — but not for Nick Young.

The Cleveland Cavaliers may have taken away the opportunity to play in the NBA Finals from the Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum, but he had a signature moment in Sunday’s game that no one can take away from him. With less than seven minutes in the fourth quarter, Tatum drove down the lane and delivered a […]

LeBron James turned in another masterful performance in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. With his season in jeopardy of ending before June, James delivered 46 points on 17-of-33 shooting including a sizzling 5-of-7 from beyond the arc. Two of those three-pointers came in the final two and a half minutes of the fourth […]

The Phoenix Suns were the big winners of last week’s 2018 NBA Draft Lottery when they were announced to have won the right to select the first overall pick. There’s no question that the Suns are the envy of just about every NBA team these days, as they have the luxury of picking the best […]

The Western Conference Finals is shaping up to be the kind of back-and-forth affair many have been expecting from the top two teams in the NBA. Game 1 resulted in a 119-106 victory for the Golden State Warriors and Game 2 ended with the Houston Rockets on top 127-105. In both games, there was only […]

Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant didn’t always see eye to eye on the court.

A few months from now, LeBron James will be entering free agency and NBA teams will be crunching the numbers and preparing elaborate presentations to lure him away from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The season wasn’t supposed to end in the first round of the playoffs for Paul George. He went to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the hopes of expanding his horizons other than going to the L.A.

The Air Canada Centre was deafeningly silent in the third quarter of Game 2 with the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers were manhandling the home team, the Toronto Raptors.

The Miami Heat just concluded their season on a low note with a 4-1 first-round playoffs series loss to the up-and-coming Philadelphia 76ers. The series was a revelation of sorts, as coach Erik Spoelstra hardly used center Hassan Whiteside to counter Philly’s Joel Embiid. That pretty much sums up how the Heat and Spoelstra have […]

One of the most coveted free agents this offseason is L.A. Clippers center DeAndre Jordan. He is one of the few old-school centers remaining in the league, one who can defend the interior with tenacity and control the boards with reckless abandon.

LeBron James will be facing his first winner-take-all game in a first-round series after a humiliating Game 6 loss by the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Indiana Pacers on Friday.
