After losing his running mate Chris Paul, he had to carry even more of a load as his club’s sole source of offense and still nearly defeated a dominant Golden State team. The more intriguing selection is that of Jrue Ho

Imagine averaging 40 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 8.5 assists on 56/46/85 shooting splits in two Finals games and being down 2-0. Now, imagine not punching any of your teammates in the face. Congratulations, you’re LeBron James. I’m not going to say I completely know what the King is going through, but I have some idea. I used to manage a small, family-owned restaurant. A good portion of the staff was competent, but the others were just a waste of space. At some point, you just

To clarify, a call option is a financial security where the investor pays an upfront premium for the right to receive unlimited upside potential without any downside risk. For example, let’s say JR Smith purchases a call option on the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index for $5. If the price of the Index goes up, JR makes money. If

PHOTO CREDIT: Boston Herald Well, well, well! It looks like we got what we wished for as it all comes down to a deciding Game 7 between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets. This year’s Western Conference Finals are shaping up for a classic finish after Golden State’s 115-86 beat down of the Rockets in Game 6. The Tale of Two Halves Houston got off to an extremely hot start scoring 39 first quarter points, including 8 for 12 on 3-point shooting in the quarter alone.

Holy Mother of Houston Tex-Mex! Takeaways from Game 5? I think I need another shower after that Thursday night thriller in H-Town. The Toyota Center was bedlam and every Rockets player except James Harden laid their life on the line for this win. “I’ve Been Ready for this My Whole Life”: Chris Paul wants to beat the Warriors more than anyone has ever wanted anything. CP3 owned the 3rd quarter and single-handedly slayed the almighty Warriors with a barrage of uppercut three po

Well, this hasn’t exactly been an entertaining series to watch, yet it’s as tightly contested as ever. Every game in this series, to a varying degree, has been a blowout victory and Game 5 was no different. Both teams are playing significantly better at home which has led to a 3-2 series lead for Boston as they head back to Cleveland for Game 6. Believe it or not there are a few things to take away from this game, even with such an anti-climactic outcome. The Celtics finally

I’m not going to lie, as die-hard of a Rockets fan that I am, I did not expect the Rockets to pull this win out after the 1st quarter. I thought that this game and series was over 12 minutes into Game 4. The Rockets looked defeated as a team; and, other than the sole offensive contributions by James Harden, were almost completely out of the game. Something must have happened between the 1st and 2nd quarter because the Rockets came back with a newfound energy. Harden still car

Talk about home cooking. The Cleveland Cavaliers bounced back for wins in Games 3 & 4 after two crushing losses at the hands of the Boston Celtics in Games 1 & 2. The role players for Cleveland did what they were supposed to at home; coupled with LeBron’s usual dominance, Boston lost 116-86 and 111-102 in Games 3 and 4 respectively. Both Cleveland and Boston looked like completely different teams after the series shifted to Cleveland, so what follows are some numbers to expla
