Posted on July 2, 2018, by Travis Pulver LeBron James said that he was not going to make us wait this time. Rumor had it that he would announce what team he would be going to by either July 4 or on July 6. But as it turns out, he didn’t want to wait that long. […]

Posted on June 29, 2018, by Travis Pulver Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, made is feelings clear the last time LeBron James left his team. He apologized for those words when James back a few years later. But with another departure pending, it appears Gilbert has made his feelings crystal clear this time […]

Posted on June 28, 2018, by Travis Pulver The free agency period this year was supposed to be focused on LeBron James with the world waiting to see where he would take his considerable talents to next. In a way, it still is, but James is not the most important person in play. That honor belongs […]

Posted on June 28, 2018, by Travis Pulver LeBron James will go down as one of the best players ever to pick up a basketball. Some would say that he is the GOAT while many more would just say he is one of the GOATs. The most common comment his detractors throw back at him is […]

Posted on June 26, 2018, by Travis Pulver On the surface, it may seem like whether to give Chris Paul a ma-deal or not is an easy decision. He was an integral part of the team’s run last season. Had he not been injured the Rockets may have made it to the NBA Finals (maybe). When […]

Posted on June 26, 2018, by Travis Pulver It was almost anti-climactic, but the NBA finally held its award show for the 2017-2018 season Tuesday night.  The season has been over for a couple weeks, but someone apparently thought it would be a good idea to give fans time to move on from the season before […]

Posted on June 25, 2018, by Travis Pulver There has been a lot of anticipation for the start of the NBA’s free agency period this year due to the number of superstars expected to be on the market. If the rumor mill is to be believed, we could see the creation of another LeBron James-super team […]

Posted on June 18, 2018, by Travis Pulver The Los Angeles Lakers showed a lot of promise last season with the young corps of players the team had on the roster then. That group was given decent odds to win the NBA Finals next season at 20/1. Odds like that mean seeing them win wouldn’t be […]

Posted on June 15, 2018, by Travis Pulver Life hasn’t just been good for fans of the San Antonio Spurs. It’s been great. They were lucky enough to have one great player (Tim Duncan) follow another great (David Robinson). It appeared that the luck was continuing with another great player, Kawhi Leonard. But it appears that […]

Posted on June 12, 2018, by Travis Pulver When a player reaches the final year of his contract, whether he’s in the NBA, NFL, or MLB, he typically wants a new one before his final season under contract starts. It gives him a little security and tells him he has a future beyond the upcoming season. […]

Posted on June 11, 2018, by Travis Pulver When the NBA Finals came to a merciful end last Friday night, the only thing ever in doubt had people on the edge of their seats. Who would be the MVP? Social media was in a minor uproar when Kevin Durant got the nod over Steph Curry, but […]

Posted on June 9, 2018, by Travis Pulver When the NBA Finals started, the expected outcome was almost universal. Much of the basketball-loving free world expected the Golden State Warriors to win the Championship for the second year in a row. The only question was whether it was going to be a clean sweep (4-0) or […]

Posted on June 7, 2018, by Travis Pulver For the Cleveland Cavaliers to win even a single game in the NBA Finals, they need a break to go their way. During Game Three Wednesday night they finally got one.  Steph Curry and Klay Thompson went 3-15 from behind the arc, and between the two, they scored […]

Posted on June 6, 2018, by Travis Pulver When the Houston Rockets acquired Chris Paul last year, they knew that they would have their work cut out for them to re-sign him following the 2017-18 season. It’s not that doing so would be hard to do. They’d just need to offer him a max contract. That’s […]

Posted on June 4, 2018, by Travis Pulver No one expected the Cleveland Cavaliers to put up as good a fight as they did in Game One of the NBA Finals last week. They still lost, so it was only a moral victory. But it gave NBA fans a reason to hope that the series would […]
