NBA Analysis
I'm going to start off by saying that I believe the Warriors will win the Championship again. I realize that this is not a large leap, but I just wanted to start there. Think you know better? You can always try and get to www.onlinecasinos.ca/bet365 and maybe even to make money from it. Now, down to the business at hand, is it possible? I believe it is possible. Obviously we don't know the seeds or for sure who will be in, but we have a pretty
Commentary: Why LeBron James May Return to the Cleveland Cavaliers
Earlier this week ESPN reported that the Cleveland Cavaliers are now the favorites to land LeBron James. Most people have assumed that James would end up back in Miami with a reloaded roster. But while Miami has been waiting for Wade, Bosh, and James to make their decisions they’ve missed out on a few key free agents in Kyle Lowry and Marcin Gortat, both of whom the Heat were very interested in.
NBA Free Agency: Possibilities for LeBron James
It's official, LeBron James has decided to opt out of his contract with the Miami Heat and test free agency. After watching the Heat get dismantled in the NBA finals by the San Antonio Spurs, this was pretty much universally expected. There are only a few teams that have a legitimate shot at landing James this summer, but I'm sure that all of the teams that I'm going to mention below are going to go all in for The King.
Miami Heat Explore Ways to Add Carmelo Anthony
It's been reported this week that the Miami Heat intend to pursue possible free agent Carmelo Anthony this summer if he chooses to opt out of his contract with the New York Knicks this summer. Anthony, who would make $23.3 million if he stays in New York for one more year, would have to take a significant pay cut if he were to join the east-coast powerhouse.
Long List of Teams Interested in Kevin Love
It's almost a sure thing that Minnesota Timberwolves all-star power forward Kevin Love will be playing somewhere else next season. Since Love was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies, then traded to the T-Wolves on draft night, the Timberwolves have failed to make it to the postseason. Love has finally voiced his frustration, and claims that he will not re-sign with the Timberwolves if he's not traded, which would cause the team to lose him and get absolutely nothing in return.
Eight NBA Fantasy Basketball Flops This Season
The NBA Playoffs are on right now, though for fantasy basketball players, yet another season has come to an end. Depending on where you finished, you're either celebrating a championship or podium finish, or telling your friends to "wait till next year" and hoping for a better 2014-15. If last week we touched on the 2013-14 season's biggest fantasy steals, here are the eight biggest disappointments, once again in no particular order. Take note that this list does not include players who missed most of the season due to injuries – that's 41 games or more.
How to Fix the NBA Playoffs
Many NBA fans over the years have complained about the playoff format as it is, and have wanted to see some change. During a recent Spurs game, new NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he'd be willing to take a look at a fresh, new playoff system that made sense.
Why the Los Angeles Lakers Should Fire Mike D'Antoni
When a team is winning, the coach usually doesn't get much credit, if at all. But when a team is losing, fans call for the coach's head. That's normally not the right way to go about things when a once-mighty team finds itself in the unfamiliar position of losing. But with the Los Angeles Lakers, it stands to reason that the best way they can kick off the rebuilding process is by getting rid of the coach.
No Bull, Chicago Could Go Far in the Eastern Conference
You look at the Chicago Bulls' numbers and they are anything but sexy. As of this writing, the Bulls are dead-last in the NBA in scoring, averaging just 93.0 ppg and bringing to mind memories of Mike Fratello's slow-breaking Cleveland Cavaliers from the mid-'90. However, the team is delivering where it counts the most – on the defensive end – and are holding opponents down to just 92 ppg and 43 percent shooting from the field, both second-best in the league. With that in mind, can the Bulls go far in the Playoffs with a lineup that, once again, features franchise point guard Derrick Rose on the sidelines?
Tale of a Top Prospect: Andrew Wiggins
If you look at most NBA mock draft boards, you'll see on almost every single one of them that Andrew Wiggins is expected to be a top 3 draft choice if he's not taken number one overall. After Kansas lost to Stanford on Sunday, Wiggins faced a lot of criticism based on his performance, and how he seemingly disappeared and was shut down. Wiggins only attempted 6 field goals, making just 1, and went 2 of 2 from the free throw line. He finished with just 4 points.
