Sports and especially writing about sports is an area where clichés are commonly (mis)-used. While a large part of this is a product of writers being lazy and lacking creativity, an equally significant reason is because they make sense. Anyone who has followed any sports, not just basketball, has witness the phenomenon of certain players whose fortunes seem to flip as soon as they change teams. To me this makes a lot of sense.

Brooklyn Nets Out With The Old: Lionel Hollins – 2nd Year: 48-71/ 262 - 272 Career In With The New: After a slow start, which one might expect from the collection of talent (or lack thereof) that took the floor in Brooklyn nightly. The Nets fired Hollins mid-

Romana Bholat – In a season where the Golden State Warriors have been reaching milestones, setting historic records, and making headlines on a nightly basis, it was more than refreshing to see their mortality exposed at the hand s of the gritty Boston Celtics. As OTG’s resident die-hard Celtic fan, I’m more than happy to choose my team breaking the Warrior’s 54-game home winning streak as my favorite moment of the year. Now this may seem like an obligated and biased choice, b

The Sacramento Kings *Photo via USA Today Tank-O-Meter – 5/5 - Blow this team up! While not at the exact bottom of the standings, the Sacramento Kings have one of the most fascinating situations for any other bad team in the league. They have a terrible foreign businessman who doesn’t much about basketball owner, a team of cast offs and failed draft picks, a coach whose coaching style may be irrelevant in today's game, a crazy man by the name of Rajon Rondo AND the best playe

The Brooklyn Nets *Photo via USA Today Tank-O-Meter -0/5 - No Pick No Mercy This season thousands upon thousands of words have been written about how bad a situation the Nets are in. If you are even a casual NBA fan you already know of their plight so I really do not need to expand on that much. This situation with very few assets and no 1st round pick gives the Nets all the motivation in the world to keep playing hard until game number 82. The opportunity to ruin conference

The Minnesota Timberwolves *Photo via USA Today Tank-O-Meter – 2/5 - Change is needed in Minny It's crazy to say that a team who had added major talents with back to back 1st overall picks is In a questionable spot for the future, but somehow the T-Wolves have gotten there. After the passing of coach Flip Saunders the team essentially punted on the 2015-2016 season with a roster of young players and no real chance to make the postseason. On the positive side Minny does have s

The Phoenix Suns *Photo via USA Today Tank- O-Meter – 3/5 – Let the Young Guns Shoot Two years removed from a surprise playoff berth, the post season sun has long set on basketball in Phoenix. A combination of questionable trades, like giving away Isiah Thomas and head scratching signings like Tyson Chandler and Mirza Teletovic have assembled one of the strangest rosters in the league. A combination of spare parts in the form of older players who could contribute to a playoff

One might think that the best action of the last few weeks of the NBA season is between top teams battling it out for seeding or others trying to make the playoffs all together. While they are probably right, a great battle is happening in the basement of each conference. Teams making the tough decision on how to make it look like they are still trying for their fans while simultaneously trying to lose as many games to better their chances of getting the Powerball tickets of
