2007–08 NBA season

A picture is worth 1,000 words It’s just the second meeting between these two elite teams in the NBA. The offensive juggernauts that are the Cleveland Cavaliers, and a team with one of the best records in the west, the Houston Rockets. One team destine for playoff greatness, and the other hungry for a NBA title. The crowd roars as the starting line ups are announced. Some hear boos as the name “LeBron James” is announced. The crowd stands up and cheers as the name “James Harden” is announced.…

the Brooklyn Nets Mikhail Prokhorov. Sitting at over 8.9 billion dollars in net worth, in 2010 the NBA approved Prokhorov to purchase 80% of the then New Jersey Nets. Since then he has ran for President in Russia and claimed that the he would get married had the Nets not won a championship in the first five years of his ownership. Currently he is the owner of a team with the worst record in the NBA (18-59) and is still not married. How did we end up here? When Prokhorov purchased the Nets, he…

off-season and on paper look to be an improvement but is that enough to say that they’re a playoff team? Kobe Bryant apparently thinks they are. In a recent interview done with Marc Spears of Yahoo Sports, Kobe was asked if he believed the Lakers could…

Bucks got back into the game was because of the myriad of Sixers' turnovers. Philadelphia compiled 26 turnovers, (13 coming from Joel Embiid and Simmons) which led to 36 points for Milwaukee. The Bucks, however, only had 15 turnovers as a team. This season, the Sixers are averaging 17.3 turnovers per game, which is good for dead last in the…

levels of sports. Another popular approach Nike likes to use to promote its business is by having celebrities or famous athletes endorse their products. A good example of this is LeBron James, a three-time NBA championship winner, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and four-time recipient of the NBA Most Valuable Player award. LeBron James’s contract with Nike is worth at least one billion dollars. The most influential way he endorses Nike’s products is through appearing in advertisements -- two of…

guards for the 2015-16 NBA season, so now it’s time to look at the shooting guard position. Shooting guards are the most difficult players for me to project in fantasy basketball. It’s so hard during the preseason to get a firm grasp on who will be starting and who’s minutes may see a decrease this season. I do in fact have some great sleeper options, though. From Monta Ellis to Zach LaVine, there are are plethora of talented guys to anchor your fantasy rosters this season. So, here are my…

This season, it is no secret that the Cleveland Cavaliers desperately need help at the backup point guard spot. With no solid backup option behind All-Star Kyrie Irving, he has had to log a lot of minutes. Right now, he is averaging 35.2 minutes per game. The Cavaliers know that if they want to make it back to the NBA Finals and defeat the Golden State Warriors, they need another option behind Irving. On Saturday, Marc Stein of ESPN reported that the Cavs could target either Utah Jazz point…

Kawhi Leonard matchup in the second round, I’d gladly accept it. Two of the top five MVP candidates will go head to head, in what should be a great and entertaining series. If the regular season is any indication, then this series will be extremely close and go down to the wire. All four of their regular season games were decided by a combined 12 points with no team winning by more than six points. The playoffs are different animal, but we should have a great series nonetheless. Key Matchups…

The NBA 2015/2016 season preview The NBA season is almost here and Golden State Warriors will face a tough task to defend a title they won last year, the first in the franchise history. We will present you every division separately and season expectations. EASTERN CONFERENCE ATLANTIC DIVISON Toronto Raptors are the main favorites to claim the division title again. The Raptors secured a first spot last time with 49 wins and were the only team in the division with a record over .500. Boston…

to start Holiday and Rondo together going into next season. Holiday would obviously shift to shooting guard in that arrangement, and then be the primary ball handler most of the time when Rondo is not in the game. For fantasy basketball owners, it’s going to be worth watching how Rondo and Holiday function together. This would not be the first time Gentry has deployed Holiday this fashion. Tim Frazier started 12 of the final 13 games last season in the same backcourt, and Holiday scored at…
