The return of James Wiseman was one of the more highly anticipated aspects of the Golden State Warriors’ 2021-22 season. But much like Zion Williamson in New Orleans, his debut has been pushed back far enough to the point that he has become a relative afterthought for the Dubs’ current plans. While the talent and […]

The Golden State Warriors really need Draymond Green to return. His back injury has left the team struggling to win in his absence. Every one of Golden State’s players has had a tougher time without Green’s defense, playmaking and leadership. No other player brings what Green can and the team has struggled to play well […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s stock in the card market has taken a backseat lately.

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Lakers had a comeback in mind against Tyronn Lue‘s Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night.

The veteran guard […]

Tristan Thompson wasn’t […]

Not a lot has gone right for the Los Angeles Lakers this season. The team sits at 27-35, on the verge of missing the Play-In game.

But with the different grading choices in the hobby, there seems […]

Even without winning a championship during his career, Allen Iverson remains one of the NBA’s best players.

The Russell Westbrook era for the Los Angeles Lakers continues to get worse and worse.

Russell Westbrook was asked a complex […]

This has been a disastrous season for the Los Angeles Lakers. There’s no other way around it. When you have LeBron James on your team, anything other than a Finals appearance is a failure.

When a team acquires a superstar-level talent, it can simplify the game for other players on the roster.

Now that another […]

Shabazz Muhammad is one of the many lottery picks Minnesota Timberwolves fans wouldn’t want to talk about.

Despite that, Shabazz Muhammad […]
