Damian Lillard led the Trail Blazers with a double-double game-high performance of 41 big points and 11 assists to go along with 5 rebounds and 1 steal in 43:38 minutes of playing time. "Coming off three losses in a row, this was a must-have," Lillard, who went 12 for 25 from the field and connected 6 of 13 from the three-point range, said. "We had to have this one."

    also shot a cool 82 percent from the charity stripe in 2014-15. The Nets fast-paced style of offense absolutely fits his gameplay and I’m expecting big things from him this year! Bogdanovic is a brilliant player but is sometimes inconsistent. He has been working hard this off-season, especially on the defensive side of the ball. With improved defensive skills and more minutes per game, Bogdanovic is going to be a much better option at two guard this year. The best part about this hidden gem is…

If you told me we would get a James Harden vs. 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…

    It’s official, Al Horford will be a Boston Celtic. That said, it’s now Dwight Howard’s time to shine in Atlanta. The chance that the Hawks signed the three-time Defensive Player of the Year from the mid-2000’s is slim, but it is what it is. He’s here and Al Horford is gone. With one year remaining on Paul Millsap’s contract with a player option for the 2017-18 season, Howard is now -like it or not- the face of the Atlanta Hawks franchise.

    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. None of it was his fault; throughout his eight seasons with the Nets, Lopez was often the brightest spot in an increasingly disappointing and doomed squad.
