Posted on 27 Oct 2012 by Warren Shaw.
Four teams from California and the Phoenix Suns comprise the Pacific Division of the NBA. Most see this as a battle for L.A. with the Lakers and Clippers head and shoulders above anybody else in the division. But how far are the Lakers and Clippers away from each other? How far are they away from the Oklahoma City Thunder? We pontificate and articulate our thoughts in our final division preview...

Lakers / Heat Stoke NBA ’12-13
Posted on 16 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
Consider this the year of LeBron. Not because he and his Heat team are a lock to repeat as champs in 2013. Au contraire, the new & improved Lakers will have a thing or two to say about who dons that crown come next June. Rather, it’s because this’ll be the first time in his 10-year NBA tenure that Mr. James can actually enjoy himself on a basketball court. Having garnered that elusive c...

Suns Slowly Flaming Out
Posted on 26 Aug 2012 by Thomas Mitchell.
Hello fellow Suns fans. What a hot and miserable summer it has been, in so many senses. Not only did we lose the best Canadian athlete since Wayne Gretzky, we lost him to those entitled chumps in Los Angeles. What's even more disappointing is that any rational fan couldn't blame Nash for leaving, he was getting diminishing returns from the team every year despite his stellar play. He voiced his...

After months of speculation, rumors, and false reports Dwight Howard was finally traded to the Lakers in a 4-team blockbuster deal reported by ESPN Thursday night.

Thunder Blow Lakers Out of OKC
Posted on 22 May 2012 by Steven Jones.
Oklahoma City Thunder General Manager Sam Presti famously learned his craft as an underling for the San Antonio Spurs. R.C. Buford and Gregg Popovich, among others, taught Presti how to thoughtfully construct a team. When given his own team, Presti ingrained the Spurs Code, got lucky with a few ping-pong balls, and set about building his house from the foundation up. Now, he gets to test his te...

A real fan needs answers to all of these questions. * Hereafter, “GCD” The Western Conference Semifinals have ...

Thunder Run Too Wild For Own Good
Posted on 19 May 2012 by Steven Jones.
For two games, the Oklahoma City Thunder have chosen the path of greater resistance. In 48 hours, they have won one playoff game by 2 and lost another by 3, each time expending far more energy than strictly necessary against a game opponent who no longer seems overmatched. The Thunder had been running between raindrops for at least the past two contests of the Western Conference Semifinals, and...

Game 2 Slips Through Lakeshow Fingers
Posted on 17 May 2012 by Arthur Kai.
The Los Angeles Lakers squandered a huge opportunity to steal Game 2 on the road, losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder 77-75. Up by seven points with 2 minutes left in a gritty matchup, the Lakers allowed the Thunder to go on an 8-0, thanks to turnovers, a Black Mamba disappearing act to end the ball game, and Steve Blake's Derek Fisher impersonation gone wrong (missing a 3-point attempt that wo...

OKC Escapes With 2-0 Lead
Posted on 17 May 2012 by Steven Jones.
Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals saw the Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers engage in their best Boston-Philly impression, with the Thunder escaping for a 77-75 victory. The game abounded with subplots and wrinkles, aside from the obvious heroes: James Harden struggled all game before racking up 4 critical points in the last two minutes to help OKC back from a 7-point defi...
