A Look at the Hawk Before the Postseason

The Dwight Howard experiment hasn’t worked since Orlando. Korver is shooting wide-open threes thanks to amazing passes from LeBron and Kyrie. They were an oversight for most NBA fans. Why is that? The Hawks ended up being 43-38 and somehow stole the 5th seed in the playoffs… How? Right before the All-Star game, they were in “Tank mode”. They traded their sharp shooter Kyle Korver to the best team in the East the Cavaliers. Then, for some reason, they decided not to trade Paul

The Future Kings

Rapid summary of the Kings season! The Sacramento Kings traded DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay is out for the year, they have Tyreke Evans again, and there were rumors of Sam Hinkie joining up. Let’s talk about the Kings again! Over their last seven games they have gone 3-4 with their last game an impressive victory over the Timberwolves. Buddy Hield was the star of that game with a career-high 22 points and 4-6 from three. Then when I was looking at the Kings’ previous games, I n

A New Buddy

The Sacramento Kings are now 1-3 since the Demarcus Cousins trade. While they did show some signs of life, it looks like they are going to try their best to keep their pick this year. If they are outside of the top 10, they owe the pick to the Chicago Bulls. If they get a pick better than the Philadelphia 76ers, then the 76ers get to swap. Luckily for Kings fans, the Pelican’s pick they got for Cousins will probably be a lottery pick as well. Enough about the Kings’s poor man

The Race to One and Done

The Western Conference is interesting to say the least. The Jazz are the 4th seed, the Rockets are back to the 3rd seed, and the Grizzlies are still doing their best Spurs impression by staying relevant. Perhaps the most surprising thing is the fact that there are only 7.5 games between the 8th seed Nuggets and the 15th seed Suns. Right now every team is as follows: Nuggets, Blazers, Kings, Mavericks, Pelicans, Timberwolves, Lakers, and finally the Suns. I’m aware that this i

Round-Table: All-Star Starter Snubs

Our staffs tell you who was snubbed as an NBA All-Star starter. Jonathan Ebrahimi (@awrashoo) : For starters, I think we all agree that Westbrook was snubbed this year. He’s keeping a largely under-talented Thunder team in the thick of the playoff hunt and is putting up historically great numbers to do it. Out East, there are two players I feel have been overlooked. For starters, Isaiah Thomas has been having a wonderful season for Boston. His team is winning and he’s the mai

The Buzz about Buzz City

The Hornets are currently sitting at the 6th seed in the East at 14-13. They were the 3rd seed a week ago, but have slowed down a bit from their hot start. However, I still believe that the Hornets will be a top seed in the playoffs. They were predicted to 6th or 7th, but I can easily see them snagging the 3rd or 4th seed. Now we are only 27 games into the season, but they have been impressive so far. What’s changed from last season? Why are they so good so far? Well let me t

The New Era in Miami

Something about this season in Miami feels off to me. I know they lost Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.I know that almost every piece of the 2010-2014 Heat is gone except for Udonis Haslem. I know all of these things, but still something feels off about this team. Their record right now is 2-3 at the early stages of the season, and everyone who is getting paid on the team is performing. Goran Dragic has 20 ppg and 7 apg, Hassan Whiteside has 19.8 ppg and 13.8 rpg, and even Tyler J

Are the Kings Ready to Surprise Fans?

The Sacramento Kings had a… let’s call it an interesting off season. The Kings drafted a Center in the first round, again, and it made their All-Star Center/franchise player DeMarcus Cousins confused. That’s twice they used a high draft pick on a position where they already have an All-Star caliber player, and they have Kosta Koufos, a solid center playing the backup role. They also lost Rajon Rondo, and replaced him with Ty Lawson (who I still believe in as a player, but I w

Trouble in Sac

Rudy Gay has said that he plans on opting out of his contract after this upcoming season. He has also said that he doubts he re-signs with the Sacramento Kings. If this happens, the Kings will let their number two options walk without anything in return. Now I know that Vivek Ranadive loves DeMarcus Cousins and Gay, but recent reports have been that he doesn’t like playing with Cousins any more. Cousins is the number one, so he gets his pick on where he plays on the court. Wh

The San Antonio Spurs as Pokémon

Tony Parker- Kabuto Once, legend has it of a point guard from France who could cut down the lane and shoot a floater that no seven-footer could block. Fast as lightning and always made the right play, but sadly time made him extinct… But every now and then there is a spotting of this rare Kabuto. I just hope everyone enjoys it while they still get a chance. Manu Ginobili – Kadabra While it could be said that Tony, Manu, and Pau could all be Kadabra, but I chose Manu. Kadabra

The Last Straw

There are several self-help books at bookstores everywhere. A lot of them have advice on bad relationships. Most of them will tell you that when the relationship is too toxic, the only way to help both people in the relationship is to end it. A lot of the times the two involved will know that they need to end the relationship, but the little rewards they are getting from the relationship is good enough to make them want to stay together. The Kings and Demarcus Cousins relatio
