The Oklahoma City Thunder are doing just fine in their current campaign. Currently, they are at the 7th spot of the Western Conference standings holding a 21-14 win-loss record. But recent reports are suggesting that they should consider of boosting up their frontcourt as part of their push going to the playoffs and Greg Monroe could be the best available big man for them. Monroe has been a regular name of rumor mills the past few months. From being a starter for the Milwaukee Bucks last season…

The (5-23) Los Angeles Lakers play the (19-9) Oklahoma City Thunder for the second time in five days, in a back-to-back contest as well as in OKC’s second-straight game at the Staples Center. OKC beat the Los Angeles Clippers on a Kevin Durant game-winning shot at the buzzer. Just as sure as driving slightly more than seven miles south on the 110 Freeway and seven miles west on the 105 Freeway in L.A. you’ll reach the Los Angeles International Airport; the OKC Thunder will have something to…

Strengths: Brandon Ingram is a pretty darn good shooter, perhaps one of the best in the NCAA. Ingram can stretch the floor with his perimeter shooting. His offensive game as a whole is enough to help a team at this moment. He can take defenders off the dribble to get to the rim and with his length it makes him even more dangerous. Speaking of length, Ingram has a wingspan of 7’3 and standing reach of 9’ “1.5” which makes his ability to defend the perimeter look very well and has the potential…

If a Pitt team from the Big East days held an opponent to one offensive rebound, the end result of the game would of win a Panther’s blowout win. But in the ACC, crashing the glass won’t help you against a high-scoring team like North Carolina (21-4). The Panthers (17-7) were dominated start to finish in Chapel Hill 85-64. That is three straight losses for the Panthers who have dropped six of their last nine ACC games. Junior forward Michael Young came off the bench for the first time in…

Does Kevin Durant make the Warriors a better NBA team? There are a total of 30 basketball teams in the NBA. Sometimes players will switch teams. My main concern is a very talented player, Kevin Durant. He was originally drafted into the OKC Thunder in 2007. Durant signed with the Golden State Warriors in 2016. A player everyone might know already from GSW is Stephen Curry. He is an excellent three-point shooter. He has the highest points per game on the warriors team. He averages about 46 pts…

Bettina Cuce Rodriguez, a kind person who volunteers in animal rescue, heard that a pit bull mix was chained outside a home near Virginia Beach in an agricultural community in terrible weather and without food or water. The poor dog was said to be approaching death, and the country animal control wasn't responding to reports of the circumstances. So, Rodriguez and 2 others saved the dog and were charged with dog larceny, a crime, after the dog was announced stolen on Jan. 11, 2015.…

There is no flash to Kahwi Leonard. But the San Antonio Spurs forward is quietly knocking at the doors of the NBA Superstardom. Despite playing excellent basketball both in offense and in defense, Leonard’s public recognition remains out of line with his real ability. When the Spurs first considered bringing in Leonard, the objective was simply to add a bigger perimeter player. Now on his fifth season with the ballclub, Kahwi has silently turned into a MVP caliber player. He has become an…

The (9-35) Los Angeles Lakers host the white-hot (37-6) San Antonio Spurs tonight at the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. Today in the 10 year anniversary of Kobe Bryant giving the NBA; his magnum opus, his masterstroke, his piece de resistance one of his crowning achievements, his exemplar performance scoring 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors. We can all reminisce about Kobe Bryant dropping the second highest scoring game in NBA history, but a few things somehow end up being…
