Tweet of the Night: Draymond Green and his mother react to All-Star voting results

by

The NBA announced the 2015-2016 All-Star starters on Thursday, and some of the results were surprising to say the least. Final voting results for NBA All-Star East & West starters. Seven reserves from each conference named next Thursday. pic.twitter.com/HQpJzBh93h — Marc J. Spears (@SpearsNBAYahoo) January 22, 2016 The biggest surprise was the sudden rise of Zaza Pachulia, who nearly beat Kawhi Leonard for the starting forward position with 768,112 votes. Can you say travesty? Pachulia is having a career year to be fair,

Sprung: Mozgov’s Meager Minutes May Be Costing Him Millions

by

Where has Timofey Mozgov’s playing time gone?  Just over a year after being traded from Denver to Cleveland for two first-round picks, the 7-1 Russian has played at least 20 minutes in just 14 of his 37 games this season. Averaging just 17.8 minutes, Mozgov has reached double figures in points just seven times and has yet to record a double-double. He is playing strong defense when given the opportunity, but it just doesn’t seem like there’s enough court time for him. It’s all the more

PODCAST: The curious case of the Miami Heat

by

Dwyane Wade scored 2 points last night in a lopsided loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, only the third time that has happened to him in 973 career games. Tyler Johnson started at point guard and shot 0-for-6. The Heat shot a season-low 36.5 percent and failed to break 80 points for the second straight game. As a team, the Heat totaled 13 assists. Was this “rock bottom,” as Michael Wallace of ESPN.com asked? Is there any way Pat Riley can fix this

Hubbard: LeBron’s Frightening Reality

by

After the rather meek events of Monday’s showcase game, we can safely say the current NBA season has become sadly boring. All the elements of something monumental seemed in place with another matchup between the Cavaliers and Warriors, this time in Cleveland. Still aggravated that injuries left them shorthanded in their NBA Finals loss last season, the Cavs had even more motivation because of their loss on Christmas Day in Oakland. Also, the once-perfect Warriors had shockingly been defeated two times in their
