Russell Westbrook’s first season with the Los Angeles Lakers has been bumpy, to say the least.

Green has been absent during a time the Warriors are struggling to win games, losing four of their last five matchups. In this post, though, we’re answering a question on all Dubs fans’ minds: […]

Stephen Curry did not have a good time against Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night.

Curry finished the contest with just 12 points, tied for his second-worst scoring […]

The Kings tormented Westbrook not just on the defensive end, but with their in-arena sound bites as they […]

Russell Westbrook has played 42 games with the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s gone about as expected.

Joel Embiid is playing arguably the best basketball of his life right now, and it would be a shame if Daryl Morey and the Philadelphia 76ers allow this season to go to waste. Morey needs to find “The Process” some help, and this likely comes in the form of a Ben Simmons trade. However, Morey […]

Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies have been the toast of the NBA throughout the midway point of the season. They’ve won 11 straight contests and show no signs of slowing down.

The Golden State Warriors have played uncharacteristically lackluster basketball in their last five games. Aside from their lone win over the Cleveland Cavaliers fueled by the return of Klay Thompson, the Warriors have been beaten handily by their other four opponents. Head coach Steve Kerr, however, remains unbothered by the slump that Stephen Curry and […]

The Milwaukee Bucks made a statement on Thursday night by hammering the Golden State Warriors, 118-99. The score does not even come close to indicate how one-sided the game was.
