The Golden State Warriors will always rely most on the long-ball as long as Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are wearing blue and gold. But they sacrificed the rim for the arc more than ever last season, the Dubs’ 26.9% share of attempts at the rim and 44.7% rate of three-point tries ranking at the […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are in for an interesting start to the season.

But while […]

As a result of their strong finish to the 2022-23 NBA season, the Orlando Magic look poised to take the next step into competing for a playoff spot.

A new era is dawning in Brooklyn, though the quality of that era is very much still an unknown.

That […]
