San Antonio Spurs crafty forward Boris Diaw posted a photo on Thursday night of his viewing of the Canadian entertainment company. Canadian, yes, but still French to me. [Read more…]
What was considered a “feces show” early in January has now become a show of dominance by the Cleveland Cavaliers. With LeBron James looking renewed since taking a couple of weeks off to rest his sore knees, the Cavaliers have ripped 12 consecutive victories after dismantling the Los Angeles Clippers 105-94 at home on Thursday. The final score was not indicative of what happened, as the Cavaliers led by as many as 32 points in the third quarter to allow the

Not only did the playoffs create some unexpected matchups, the recently unveiled foreign MVP shortlist also raised a lot of eyebrows. With
The Golden State Warriors are one of the most intriguing teams to watch in the NBA, thanks in large part to having the most dynamic backcourt simply known as”The Splash Brothers”. Aside from that, the team has also made vast improvements in offensive execution compared to previous years, where the ball no longer sticks too long in one player’s hands.

The Golden State Warriors sometimes have a tendency to spot the other team a giant lead to start games before clawing their way back. Take the game against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, for instance, when the Warriors allowed the visiting team to get out to a 40-18 lead in the first quarter.
