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

Twitter reacts to Joey Crawford’s wild interference of Durant’s potential game-tying free throw, Jay Williams rips Durant’s final shot attempt

by

Joey Crawford is one of the most – if not the most – animated referees in the game. On Tuesday, his antics in overtime may have helped cost the Oklahoma City Thunder Game 5 against the Memphis Grizzlies: With 27.5 seconds remaining in the game and about to take his second free throw to tie the game, Kevin Durant was abruptly interrupted by Crawford as seen above. The reason for Crawford’s sudden course of action to prevent Durant from shooting his

Tweet of the Night: Jay Williams questions no technical call against Warriors in final seconds against Dallas

by

It was one of those nights for Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night against the Dallas Mavericks: turnovers, turnovers, and turnovers.

Despite holding a combined record of 8-26 heading into Thursday’s game on TNT, a crosstown “rivals” matchup between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets was a must-watch. No one expected these two teams to be as bad as they have been over the first month of the season, but various factors – primarily injuries and adjusting to some new faces – have turned them into the laughingstocks of the league. Someone still had to win the game, and the Knicks took

Tweet of the Night: Jay Williams says Kobe would leave Lakers as a free agent if they aren’t contenders

by

Kobe Bryant has never known any team other than the Los Angeles Lakers. He started his career in Los Angeles as a teenager, and only once did he flirt with the idea of switching jerseys during his 17-year career. The guard has said throughout the latter part of his career that he would remain a Laker for life, but you never know how things can turn out in the NBA. This is the final year of Bryant’s current contract, where he

Tweet of the Night: Jay Williams has a positive message for Lamar Odom

by

At this point, most are aware of the fact that former NBA forward Lamar Odom has been dealing with drug issues and is likely in need of help and support from those that know and are around him. Those on the outside may judge him in a negative light – how can someone so successful take the things he has for granted to this extent and jeopardize everything over drugs? The truth about Odom’s situation appears to be more than trivial
