It’s been hard to find the right moment to genuinely evaluate the Los Angeles Lakers in the Post-Russ-Trade Era.

The Colts are an enigma […]

A quarter of the way through their quest for back-to-back titles, the Golden State Warriors are stuck in the same place they were when the regular season tipped off with ring night.
