The Cleveland Cavaliers had their backs against the wall in game 5 and clawed their way to a 112-96 victory. Klay Thompson led the Golden State Warriors with 37 points, but it wasn't enough to counteract the 82 points from Kyrie Irving and LeBron James. The Cavs forced a game 6 in Cleveland. If the Cavaliers want to keep the momentum going, they should focus on these three keys. Kyrie Irving has been on fire recently scoring 30 plus in three straight games. No other teammate of LeBron has…

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.

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…

In Chicago Bulls, Pau averages 16.9 points per game, 10.8 rebounds per game, and 3.6 assists per game. While in the Lakers Pau was only scoring about 4 points. Pau Gasol started playing basketball 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…

Most recently, I was honored as an inductee to the National Honor Society at Roosevelt High School. I do not accomplish these feats without hard work. It is through my actions that I can achieve my goals, much more than just words.…

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…
