The Pressure is on the Milwaukee Bucks to Find an Identity

There are two different lenses in which you can view the Milwaukee Bucks. On the one hand, they struck gold by drafting a superstar in a small market. That superstar is, of course, Giannis Antetokounmpo who has established himself as one of the best players in the game already and is still improving. Milwaukee has done what it can to surround him with as much as talent as possible. They made aggressive moves like trading for Eric Bledsoe and teaming him up with other young st

LeBron's Streak Comes to an End

March 12, 2018 - Source: Christian Petersen/Getty Images North America Last season the doubts got pretty loud about the Cleveland Cavaliers being able to reach the Finals. They were 10-14 over their final 24 games and were one of the worst defenses in the league over that stretch as well. I was one of the people thinking that it was over for the Cavaliers, but they showed up for the playoffs and absolutely dominated the competition going 12-1 in the East before losing in 5 ga

Can the San Antonio Spurs Contend With or Without Kawhi Leonard?

The 2017 NBA Playoffs ended on a sour note for the San Antonio Spurs. After making it to the Western Conference Finals, their superstar Kawhi Leonard injured his ankle in their first game against the Golden State Warriors. Before the injury, the Spurs were up 21 points and, for the first time, it looked like a team may have a chance to throw off the Warriors — but with Kawhi out, the Warriors came back and swept the series, ending San Antonio’s title hopes. Despite this, many

How Will the Western Conference Playoff Race Play Out?

Each team has about twenty games left, and the playoff races in each conference are ultra competitive. In the Western Conference, it is even tighter with seeds three through 10 separated by only four games. Each game matters, tiebreakers will be massive and these teams have several games left against each other. Teams are not only fighting to make the playoffs but to finish above the seven and eight seeds to avoid the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets in the first rou

The Toronto Raptors Are Built For A Deep Playoff Run

The Toronto Raptors have the best record in the Eastern Conference and in a few months they may have to change their team slogan from “We The North” to “We The Whole Package.” People put too much stock into regular season records going into the playoffs, but the Raptors seem constructed to compete with, and defeat, the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs. The NBA postseason is all about individual matchups and the Raptors matchup favorably with every team I

Could the Spurs' Playoff Streak Finally End?

Jan. 1, 2018 - Source: Getty Images North America The San Antonio Spurs have been in the playoffs for the past 20 years. Their current run is 10 years better than the next streak of 10 years belonging to the Atlanta Hawks. It seems like the Hawks’ streak will end, but is this the year that the Spurs’ streak will end too? Before you stop reading this article because you think I'm crazy, let me give you the reasons that I have a sneaking suspicion this could be it. The first is
