The Milwaukee Bucks’ title defense campaign has been a rocky ride so far. While they haven’t been terrible like other teams on their title defense, they certainly haven’t been playing up to their potential. A big reason for that is Brook Lopez’ extended absence due to a back injury. Because of that, the Bucks are […]

Kevin Durant is a pretty good basketball player. You can probably tell after he single-handedly tormented the New York Knicks for 53 points on Sunday night.

For the first time this wild NBA season we’re expecting Kyrie Irving to be in attendance for a Brooklyn Nets home game. Just not while available to play. You know, kind of like like how Ben Simmons made his epic return to Philadelphia, but just on the team’s bench. A “sort of but not really” […]

Andrew Wiggins played at an All-Star level throughout the first half of the season, but since then it’s been a much harder grind for the Golden State Warriors swingman.
