The Golden State Warriors have been good for a few years, but now they’re finally great. The team wrapped up a five-game road trip Sunday and were victorious in each game. In fact, they’ve won nine straight. The trip ended with a 104-93 win over the Pistons in Detroit and one Warriors player is glad to see the trip come to an end. Great way to finish off the road trip with the win!!! So excited to get back to Cali
My annual Thanksgiving trip to Los Angeles did not hold the promise of trips past. A year ago, I arrived in time to watch the Lakers win a game and even their record at 8-8. Even though there was considerable hand-wringing going on (Kobe had agreed to his new contract and the common opinion of the Laker faithful was that he was greedy, which, makes him different in L.A. how?), there was the always-entertaining Lakers optimism.

How do you replace DeMar DeRozan? Toronto’s all-star and leading scorer will be out indefinitely with a groin injury that involves a torn tendon. His misfortune actually benefits daily fantasy players, because salaries have yet to adjust and at least three Raptors will share those 33 minutes per game. [Read more…]

In Friday night’s 105-78 home rout over the Knicks, Westbrook put up 32 points, eight assists and seven rebounds in 24 minutes — making him the first player in the shot-clock era to score at least 32 points and eight assists in a timeframe that short.

This was an exciting week for European hoops, as several of the top young European prospects had outstanding performances. Top 2015 draft candidate Mario Herzonja managed to break the 20 minute mark for the first time and left his mark in a win against Milano in Euroleague. Nikola Jokic and Dario Saric continued their fantastic play, and are continuing to show that they will be quality contributors when they make their debuts stateside. As my team, Bnei Herzliya prepares to play against
My advice here is always free, and last night it wasn’t worth it. Who can predict a scoreless game for DeMar DeRozan (groin) or a 27-point night from Marreese Speights without Marty McFly’s sports book from the future? [Read more…]
When Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are both struggling on the offensive end of the floor, it’s usually pretty tough for the Golden State Warriors to come away with a victory. Unless, of course, you have one Marreese Speights coming off your bench to save the day. [Read more…]
