But Tuesday night, fans were in luck. There was every reason to believe that all three games would be good, hard-fought, […]

Posted on April 16, 2018, by Travis Pulver Day One of the 2018 NBA Playoffs didn’t produce any surprises or upsets. Everyone that was expected to win did win.

Posted on April 12, 2018, by Travis Pulver This one is a little different than last year’s, but the accomplishment is still noteworthy.

With last night’s stat line, Westbrook averaged 25.4 […]

Posted on April 12, 2018, by Travis Pulver The last time there was a winner-take-all game played in Minneapolis (1997) some of the current Timberwolves players couldn’t say “basketball” let alone dribble one.  The same could be said for their opponents Wednesday night, the Denver Nuggets. What fans got to see before the night was over […]

Posted on April 8, 2018, by Travis Pulver At this time of year, NBA fans are typically doing one of two things.

But things are certainly looking good […]

Posted on April 8, 2018, by Travis Pulver It has been a challenging season for the San Antonio Spurs.

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.

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 […]
