Case Study: Death, Taxes, And Los Angeles Clippers

Before the start of the game there is always a pre game show with the two hosts for the T.V. broadcast on court somewhere talking about the game. However the first thing I noticed when we took our seats was there was another game being played on court amidst the chaos of all the cameras and people on court for the pre-game show. To further involve the community and the fans in Clipper basketball, before the game there was a YMCA basketball game between two local

According to Blasting News, even if the Warriors are off to a good start, there's a notion that they will make a shakeup of their roster before the February trade deadline and a possible trade deal with Heat might happen soon.

The Ohio State men's basketball team has had back-to-back disappointing seasons and most people believe that head Coach Thad Matta should be fired from his job. Ohio State is a program that over the last ten years has been accustomed to winning games and being at the top of the Big Ten standings, and the last two years under coach Matta were not up to most fans standards. I believe that Thad Matta should not be fired and that he will turn the program around if given more time.

There was no better way to end the season. Next up is the playoffs. The Thunder are facing off against the Rockets in the first round. Both teams superstars are MVP candidates this year and have been the center of attention. James Harden and Russell Westbrook are former teammates, and this series might just be the most interesting one of the playoffs. Although, his team isn’t very strong due to two of their most important players leaving, this young team is looking to rebuild behind the lead of Westbrook. This can be the star of something

But the question is how all of these strong personalities and undeniable talents will play out on the court together. It can either be a success for a franchise that hasn’t had many peaks since the days of Chris Webber, Jason “White Chocolate” Williams, and Mike Bibby, just to name a few. But this current roster holds the most talent that this team has seen in years and they can capitalize on that to finally make some noise in a tough Western

It does not come as a surprise to see the Sixers pick up both players’ fourth-year options. They both played an integral role in helping the team win basketball games over the years and ultimately making the NBA playoffs this season.

The Los Angeles Lakers look to avenge a 119-101 loss in Denver. The main thing stopping the purple and gold from winning is their defense. The Lakers have given up an

According to CBSSports, the Los Angeles Lakers could throw in a package of guard Jordan Clarkson, guard Lou Williams and forward Luol Deng as trade offers to the New York Knicks for Carmelo Anthony. This is not bad for a return for the Knicks acquiring one young and two veteran players that are solid contributors.

I preferred the Sixers come out of the draft with a guard with the potential of D'Angelo Russell or even Mario Hezonja

The Warriors will enter next season as defending champions after a historical run to the Larry O'Brien trophy. The Cavaliers made the finals and pushed Golden State to six games despite missing three opening-night starters, two of which are all-stars. Thus far this offseason they have resigned Kevin Love, LeBron James, and Iman Shumpert. They intend to do the same with Tristan Thompson and J.R. Smith. They also added Mo Williams and are showing interest in big time scoring wingmen such as Jamal Crawford and Joe Johnson. The San Antonio Spurs held their core intact while adding LaMarcus Aldridge, the biggest name free agent on the market this year. There front court only got better as they picked up former all-star David West on a discount. Boy have the Clippers been in the news this offseason. To make a very long story short, they resigned the leagues leading rebounder, DeAndre Jordan. Paul Pierce will be back home next year reuniting with Doc Rivers. They also added the talented but troubled Lance Stephenson.

Game familiarity might be the single biggest reason why7 McMillan is being promoted to be the team’s head coach. McMillan could be a good fit and has a deep relationship with team president Larry Bird.

Alright fantasy basketball fans it’s time to for my latest installment of my GF2 team previews. In my latest NBA preview we’re going to take a closer look at a very intriguing team, the New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans made waves last season and are expected to be even better this year. Star power forward Anthony Davis is by far my favorite guy this year for fantasy, so we’ll stray away from discussing his absolute greatness. We’re going to look at three guys who I have rostered over the last few years who all have tremendous upside.

As the summer winds down and the NBA season is upon us, the Golden State Warriors are planning for their fight to claim another championship ring. Last season, the Warriors won the most games in a single season in NBA history (73), but fell just short of winning back-to-back championships. Having recruited superstar Kevin Durant, who joined the team this summer, seems to have made Golden State even more frightening than it already was. However, past experiences have shown us that a cluster of superstars on one team doesn’t necessarily mean an automatic ring.

I firmly agree with you. If you look since 1980, twenty nine of those championships have been won by what I call the three pillars of the NBA, Phil Jackson, Gregg Popovich, and Pat Riley. It shows a combination of leadership and managing. To practically dominate the sport of basketball with their influence is quiet amazing. Pat Riley has won wherever he gone or at least made the teams competitive enough to compete for a championship. “Pop” has a deep run of twenty years adapting to change, having a philosophy of an inside outside game in 1999. to becoming a jump shooting team in their last championship in 2013. Phil has won everywhere he's been coaching too, from Chicago and Los Angeles. I do think he entered the Knicks job at a bad time with

Joe Johnson’s buzzer beater in Game 1 led the Jazz to an upset victory. Chris Paul led the Clippers to a Game 2 victory with 21 points and 10 assist. Before Ruby Gobert’s knee injury the Jazz posed a threat to the Clippers; however, he is expected to miss Game 3 and is uncertain for the series. This series could have gone the distance and be ranked number one but without the “Stifle Tower” the Jazz don’t possess enough firepower.
