When examining the Cleveland Cavaliers’ preseason performance thus far, an often heard question comes to mind. How much should preseason play be factored into projecting the upcoming NBA regular season? The Cavs met the Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers and Memphis Grizzlies in their first three preseason games and lost each contest, albeit by an average of less than five points per game. Tuesday night, the Cavaliers (more like a deficient version of the team) met the Milwaukee Bucks at Quicken…

Arthur, your veterans can’t be role players or guys at the end of the bench who only see minutes during mop-up duty. In Millsap, the Nuggets have a player who is a four-time All-Star and has been in the playoffs on a number of occasions with the Atlanta Hawks. Millsap was voted to the NBA’s All-Defensive second team, proving to be a welcome bulwark addition to a Nuggets team who could score points with the best in the league but struggled to protect its own rim, allowing 111.2 points per game,…

MJ could dribble through two and three players like it was nothing. He could extend his reach over 7 foot tall players and dunk on them without sweating it. The only thing that I…

There is no player who exemplifies the current Nets roster more than Brook Lopez. Since he was drafted 10th overall in the 2008 NBA draft, Lopez witnessed the Nets moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn, firing an array of head coaches and slowly turning into the league's laughing stock.
