    Atkinson Turns Things Around for the Nets

    When Kennedy Atkinson signed up to be the coach for the Nets, many were convinced that his career as a coach was headed for the worst. You see, Atkinson had a fulfilling and formidable career as an assistant coach for eight years. The Nets on the other hand were not the choice team for many of those who were eyeing jobs as head coaches, despite an existing belief among NBA coaches that any job as head coach is a good job. Atkinson has however proved his basketball predictions

    Landon's Top 8 in the West

    The 2014-15 Western Conference was dominated by the eventual NBA champion, Golden State Warriors. With the Dubs in control of the number one spot from the tip, other squads battled for the other seven spots. One game separated the second seed from the sixth seed and SEVEN teams ended the season with 50+ wins. So yeah, the West is damn good, but that was last year…what happens now? 1.

    Three Coaches on the Hot Seat

    Coaches have it the hardest in sports, especially in basketball. When things are going well, the players get all the credit, when things are going wrong the blame falls mostly on the coach’s shoulder. It is at times a thankless job, but if the coach can keep the outside noise from distracting himself and the team there’s a chance for success. Some of the coaches on this list have enjoyed success already, but will undoubtedly have to keep the outside noise from being a distrac

Breakout Player: Jordan Adams, Memphis Grizzlies *Photo via Fox Sports It’s well known that coach Dave Joerger doesn’t like playing rookies, but fortunately for Jordan Adams, he’s made it to his second season in Memphis and ready for his closeup. Why didn’t Memphis go out and get a sharpshooter when shooting is clearly their biggest weakness? The answer may just be sitting on the

    What to Expect from Kristaps Porzingis’ Rookie Campaign

    *Photo via NYPost Latvian native Kristaps Porzingis was the New York Knicks 4th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. Before he even laced up his sneakers for his first NBA experience in the Summer League, naysayers immediately spewed their displeasure with the Knicks choice. “Boo’s” rained down on the then 19-year old on draft night, but in-time, those same boo’s became “ahhhhhhhhhh’s” once ‘The Zinger’ displayed his basketball abilities here, in America. Porzi averaged 10.5 p

    The Bargnani Effect: How Andrea Bargnani Can Help the Nets this Season

    *Photo via Getty Images The Brooklyn Nets have had a somewhat quiet offseason this summer. The Nets weren’t short of headlines the past couple of seasons, with big acquisitions that were supposed to take the team to the next step. This time around, the tables have turned with headlines about who has left Brooklyn. The organization made small moves in the offseason, bringing in a couple of cheap young veterans that can help the team in supporting roles. Out of those vets, I t

    Ty Lawson: James Harden’s New ‘Robin’?

    *Photo via NY Post Now that the Ty Lawson to the Houston Rockets hype has settled, let’s examine his role on the Rockets and what can be expected from him this upcoming season. Lawson brings an offensive skillset to the Rockets that the team has severely lacked, outside of James Harden of course. His ability to push the tempo, shoot from deep and create for his teammates should take the Rockets offense to new heights down in ‘Clutch City’. There have been questions as to whet

    Can the Hawks Repeat Last Season?

    *Photo via NYPost Last season the Atlanta Hawks overachieved in every sense of the word and won a franchise high 60 games. Against the bloodbath known as the Western Conference, the Hawks went an impressive 21-8, which includes multiple wins over the Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Clippers and the Houston Rockets. Hot’Lanta put on a display of dominance unlike any other during their 2014-15 campaign, as they made a mockery of any and every opponent-from late December tow

    Will OKC Make the Playoffs?

    *Photo via Getty images Today was a tough loss for the Thunder , against the Houston Rockets. They never got a good lead in the game, and in the end a lack of clutch defense took away their chances to win the game when it got close. You can't blame Westbrook for the loss; he did miss crucial free-throws at the end of the game. But he also put up another triple-double, and it would be hard for me to blame a loss on a player who has to do almost everything for this team. The b

    Are the Cavs the Favorite in the East?

    *Photo via USA Today The Cleveland Cavaliers are in second place in the Eastern Conference, as of April 1, at 48-27. Many people expected the Cavs to be up there with the roster they assembled in the 2014 offseason. However, that was not the case as the season started. They spent the latter part of 2014 playing.500 basketball and questions started to arise about the Cavs. Was Kevin Love going to leave at the end of the season? Can Kyrie and LeBron coexist?

    Westbrook for MVP

    *Photo via USA Today If Russell Westbrook was on just about any other team in the NBA, he would be the clear-cut favorite for the MVP this year. Unfortunately, when many people think about the OKC Thunder, they think of it as “Kevin Durant's Team”. And since Durant is out for the season, many just write the Thunder off and any single player performance that is coming out of OKC. Lets look at the facts first: One of the main reasons Stephen Curry is the favorite to win the MVP

    Race for Coach of the Year

    *Photo via USA Today The NBA Coach of the Year Award is basically a two man race between first time head coach, Steve Kerr of the Golden State Warriors and Mike Budenholzer of the Atlanta Hawks. It’s no surprise these two are the front runners for the nomination, as both their teams have run away with the best record in their respected conference, and have the best two records in the league. However before I tell you which one will win the award and why, I would like to recog

Let's look at the various candidates for Rookie of The Year this season. First up, in no particular order, is Elfrid Payton of the Orlando Magic. Payton is having a pretty solid rookie year, as the 10th overall pick in last year’s draft. He's averaging 8.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game. Not

    March is Mirotic Madness in Chicago

    *Photo via USA Today It’s a classic storyline in the world of sports; a few important athletes suffer significant injuries, so their team must rely on the next man up to fill their shoes. Often times it doesn’t work out, but sometimes that next man up seizes his opportunity to shine and never looks back. Rookie power forward, Nikola Mirotic has done exactly that for the Chicago Bulls. In the month of March, Mirotic is averaging 21 points and 8 rebounds in 13 games, shooting 4

The Mavericks were 19-8 at the time and many believed this trade would make Dallas a favorite to come out of the Western Conference. However the Mavericks have gone 25-18 since that trade and currently sit in the seventh seed in the conference. Dallas has suffered many injuries this year including a variety of injuries to starting center Tyson Chandler. To pro

    *Photo via AP Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors and James Harden of the Houston Rockets are the top two MVP candidates in the league this season, at least for most people. But there is a man who is making a strong case to be MVP and he is none other than LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Now the Rockets and Warriors have a better record than the Cavs, and Curry and Harden are playing MVP caliber basketball, but there is no one that means more to their team tha
