Isaiah Thomas has played just two games this season without starting backcourt mate Avery Bradley. You could say Thomas becomes a different player without Bradley alongside him.

As Bradley tells it, during a practice one day he was running point for the second unit and missed a layup. Not that uncommon of a thing […]

Before Kevin Durant made his free agency decision, everyone knew who the front runners were. The Oklahoma City Thunder were the heavy favorites because it’s the franchise he built.
