Last season for the Milwaukee Bucks was underwhelming to say the least. They finished with a record of 33-49, missed the playoffs after giving the Chicago Bulls a tough first round matchup the previous season, and the Greg Monroe experiment has not worked out thus far. However, there was one bright spot from last season […]

When you’re a kind on Halloween, you go out whenever dusk starts to set in and bang on doors using code words for free candy and go on your merry way with every house that has a porch light on. For the most part, you go around a neighborhood or a general area until at […]

NBA free agency is sort of like Christmas for kids. They get up, tear open presents at a clip that suggests they barely know what they’re getting, and then within a fairly short period of time, it’s over and you have the rest of the day where they sit around wondering where all the excitement […]

Tim Duncan probably got up at 6 a.m. with no alarm. Then, he went outside to get the newspaper, the kind you hold in your hand to read (darn kids and their Interwebs), poured himself a cup of coffee from beans he ground by himself, looked at the rotary phone he knew he’d use to […]

There will be plenty of time for Golden State Warriors fans to anticipate the future made possible by Kevin Durant’s announcement on the 4th of July, but let’s take a moment to acknowledge that this is not solely a continuation of what the Warriors have built to this point. It’s a new beginning, and also […]

Much has already been said and written about the 2016 NBA Finals, so it’s not easy to find ground not already staked out, but let’s try to do that here. Nobody choked. Nobody shrank from the moment. Nobody left anything in the tank. The way our sports society is wired these days (which, as always is a reflection […]

This is a column I’ve dreaded having to write for this whole season, especially since the Golden State Warriors went down 3-1 to the Oklahoma City Thunder. In case you’re just putting yourself together this Monday morning or you’re reading this in the year 2056, the Warriors just became the first team in NBA history […]

It took me a while to figure out when I’d had that feeling before. As I watched the Golden State Warriors stumble through the first quarter of Game 6 of the NBA Finals, it finally hit me: Game 7 of the 2002 World Series between the San Francisco Giants and the (then-) Anaheim Angels. I’ll get to the baseball parallel, but first, the Warriors seem […]

The key moment in Game 5 of the NBA Finals wasn’t even in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. It was the altercation between Draymond Green and LeBron James with 2:47 to go in Game 4. Neither team will admit this, but Draymond Green’s absence was without question the difference in Monday night’s game. With […]

Game 4 of the NBA Finals spent 45 minutes sucking all of the suspense and intrigue out of the series, but the last three wound up making a huge difference. Draymond Green will not play Game 5 for the Golden State Warriors, while serving a one-game suspension. If you’re reading this column, you know why, […]

The Golden State Warriors play good defense, they shoot 3-pointers at a historic clip, and they have possibly the best bench in the history of basketball. All of those things were reasons for them winning 67 games last year and 73 this year, which is pretty impressive. But when the story of this team is […]
