News that Kevin Durant is done for the remainder of the Western Conference Semifinals has to sting for the Boston
Just weeks after being linked to the Lakers vacant front-office position, Pat Riley is back in the news again. This time, according to ESPN’s Stephen A Smith, for giving the Warriors advice. Smith says Riley, among others, advised the Warriors front office executives to re-sign Klay Thompson.
Kawhi Leonard and Kevin Durant are proving why they are top tier players in the NBA during these playoffs.
The Golden State Warriors have made it to the finals for four straight seasons, looking to extend that to five straight, this season.
Last year, the Golden State Warriors needed a Chris Paul injury in order to eke out a Western Conference Finals victory against Houston in seven games. This year, they showed weakness in a first-round series for the first time in recent memory – needing six games to advance past their first-round opponent for the first time in the Steve Kerr era. Meanwhile, James Harden is heavily involved in the MVP conversation for the fourth time in the last five years after putting up historic numbers and his team finished their first-round series against Utah in a convincing five games. Yet none of that seems to matter.
The heart and soul of the Los Angeles Clippers, bringing grit and grind for 48 minutes of play.
The Golden State Warriors are 1st place in the Western Conference, as many of us expected them to be. The Los Angeles Clippers are 8th place, which many people did not expect.
We made it. After a dramatic regular season that has included saliva-induced fights, stand-offs at team practices and half of the league included in possible trade packages for Anthony Davis, the real fun can begin. The playoffs are finally here, and the stakes are as high as ever.
The Boston Celtics are coming off a great winning week, in which they went 3-0. Gordon Hayward showed some great signs so far on the team’s West coast trip.
The Boston Celtics are coming off a very disappointing week. They went 1-3, they defeated the struggling Washington Wizards and lost to the Houston Rockets, Toronto Raptors and Portland Trailblazers. They are all high-level teams, but they were very disappointing performances from the C’s end.
The final stretch of the season has begun! There is still a lot of basketball to be played this season and the Rookie of the Year race is far from over. Luka Doncic has been at the forefront of that conversation for most of the season but over the last couple of weeks we have seen Marvin Bagley III, and others, come to life.
This edition of the rookie report will be a two-part series to account for the few games just after the All-Star break and leading into the first full week of NBA action. Let’s dive into Part 1…
Here are my four takeaways from the Miami Heat’s 126-125 win over the Golden State Warriors.
