That being said, George […]

Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors is as lethal as it gets when it comes to his pump-fake game.

With that said, it’s time to continue our NBA odds series and make a Thunder – Warriors prediction and pick. The Warriors went 1-1 in their last two games, […]

The premise of this topic probably sounds absurd to the majority of readers. What could the 21-45, -9.9 net rating Oklahoma City Thunder possibly be revolutionizing? The immediate thought is probably the work of Sam Presti and the front office. They acquired absurd numbers of picks and became famous for their ability to flip assets […]

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was diagnosed with a “significant tear” in his plantar fascia, per Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman.

[…]

Getting into the hobby of collecting NBA cards can really be overwhelming, especially if you have no idea where to start.

Russell Westbrook is one of the most entertaining players in today’s NBA, although he has also become a polarizing figure in basketball.

In this article, we will take a […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder averted disaster on Tuesday night as they put up a tremendous effort in a road win against the Boston Celtic.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was in the news recently for his comments on which NBA stars are genuinely “untouchable.” Kerr just had three names on the list – LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. For the sake of argument, let us ask if Giannis is really untradeable? At 26-years-old, he is a two-time […]

Toronto Raptors big man Khem Birch believes that his fellow Canadian Lu Dort is the future of their country. However, Birch isn’t really in favor of Dort’s flopping antics on Sunday.

Chris Boucher had a different fire on Sunday night as he put not just his Toronto Raptors on his back, but the entire city of Montreal.

Move over Serge Ibaka, Aleksej Pokusevski just hopped over you in the Oklahoma City Thunder record books. The 19-year-old Serbian recorded a career-high six blocks in the Thunder’s 112-106 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. By doing so, he eclipsed Ibaka’s previous record of five blocked shots in his first year. Per NBA stats, […]

Curry […]

Kevin Durant may be the most potent offensive weapon that Oklahoma City Thunder fans have ever seen. There’s almost no point in getting into a debate about that. On Tuesday against the Utah Jazz, however, Lu Dort just forged himself beside Durant for a long-standing scoring record. Per Stat Muse, Dort’s 42-point explosion is right […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder are currently in a rebuilding stage. Given that, they’ve already handed over the keys in the offense to their budding young star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Not a lot of people can outmuscle Philadelphia 76ers center Dwight Howard in the paint. However, Lu Dort of the Oklahoma City Thunder belongs on that shortlist.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are waiving swingman […]

Austin Rivers is in the midst of a rocky 2020-21 NBA season. The combo guard took on a reserve role with the New York Knicks upon signing a three-year, $10 million deal. It began well with Rivers making an impact on both ends of the floor. Then New York acquired Derrick Rose from the Detroit […]

Even before entering college, Gonzaga Bulldogs star Jalen Suggs has already been ranked as one of the top prospects in the upcoming NBA draft class of 2021.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has become one of the preeminent rising stars of the NBA. He is one of the frontrunners for the Most Improved Player of the Year award this year. He plays incredibly under control and is a surgical operator of the pick and roll.  This is a stark contrast to the last great Thunder […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder featured a very unusual starting five in Wednesday night’s win against the Toronto Raptors. The Thunder started the game without a single first round pick, a far cry from the NBA’s usual trend. The team’s backcourt was commanded by second round picks Theo Maledon and Svi Mykhailiuk, accompanied by another second […]
