Posted on April 8, 2018, by Travis Pulver It has been a challenging season for the San Antonio Spurs. After making it to the Conference Finals last season where they got swept by the eventual champions, the Golden State Warriors, they looked forward to a rematch this season. Yes, the Warriors swept the Spurs. But the […]
Posted on April 5, 2018, by Travis Pulver Fans of the Golden State Warriors were probably hoping for a revenge win Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers. When they faced the Pacers a week ago without four of their key players, it was an ugly game that resulted in a win for Indiana. But with three […]
Posted on April 5, 2018, by Travis Pulver When the Boston Celtics lost Gordon Hayward for the season during Opening Night, expectations were low for the team going forward. Then Kyrie Irving ended up being as good as advertised and the Celtics still looked like a championship caliber team. But now it is looking like it will […]
Posted on April 5, 2018, by Travis Pulver The Boston Celtics went into Wednesday night’s game against the Toronto Raptors with a unique opportunity in front of them. Win and they could still have a reasonable shot at overtaking the Raptors for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Lose, and while they’d still have […]
Posted on April 3, 2018, by Travis Pulver It hasn’t been the prettiest of seasons for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They’ve had injury issues, personnel issues, and have simply played poor basketball on occasion. But they overhauled the roster and with people starting to get healthy. With the playoffs right around the corner, the timing couldn’t be […]
Posted on April 2, 2018, by Travis Pulver Heading into Sunday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs, the Houston Rockets knew they had nothing to gain from winning. Thanks to the Milwaukee Bucks and their win over Golden State the other night, they already had the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. They already set […]
Posted on March 30, 2018, by Travis Pulver When the Golden State Warriors lost their all-star roster to various injuries, it became only a matter of time before the Houston Rockets would lock up home-court advantage in the playoffs. But then the Warriors got Draymond Green back and Thursday night saw Kevin Durant return. It would still […]
Posted on March 30, 2018, by Travis Pulver A recent six-game winning streak gave fans of the San Antonio Spurs hope that the team may still reach the 50-win mark for the season. But when LaMarcus Aldridge limped off the court the other night against the Wizards they knew the streak would likely end soon. Maybe even […]
Posted on March 27, 2018, by Travis Pulver The Philadelphia 76ers locked up a playoff spot for the first time, since 2012, Sunday night. But with the No. 3 through No. 8 seeds separated by only a handful of games, every win still means a lot. However, the 20,000-plus fans in attendance at the Wells Fargo […]
Posted on March 26, 2018, by Travis Pulver You would think that securing a playoff spot shouldn’t be a big deal for the Pacers. After all, this will be the seventh time in eight seasons for Indiana. But this time, making the playoffs comes with an additional sense of satisfaction and joy. How come? After they […]
Posted on March 25, 2018, by Travis Pulver The San Antonio Spurs entered Sunday afternoon’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks on a roll having won their last six.

Posted on March 23, 2018, by Travis Pulver For fair weather NBA fans, it may be hard to believe it, but the Los Angeles Lakers are not a bad team. Yes, they are not going to make the playoffs. Yes, they are going to finish the year with a sub-.500 record once again. No, they are […]
Posted on March 21, 2018, by Travis Pulver The odds were certainly against the Boston Celtics heading into Tuesday night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Once again, they would be short-handed and would be taking on a red-hot Thunder team riding a six-game winning streak. Winning seemed like an unlikely outcome. However, while the Thunder […]
Posted on March 20, 2018, by Travis Pulver The San Antonio Spurs have not looked great this season. The Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, have been one of the best teams in the NBA. However, the dominant Warriors were not the ones the Spurs had to face Monday night. No, they faced a group that […]
Posted on March 18, 2018, by Travis Pulver Toronto entered the game having won their last 11 games. Oklahoma City as riding a five-game streak of its own. Obviously, the Raptors have been playing exceptional basketball of late as have the Thunder. To beat the Raptors, the Thunder would need to do like they usually do […]
