Taylor Smith’s Week 20 NBA Power Rankings: Mavericks on Top, Lakers Falling
Apparently, nobody really wants that eighth seed in the Western Conference. Every team currently ninth or lower in the West has dropped their most recent game, and no team has gone better than 5-5 in their last 10. The eighth place Blazers are just 6-4 in that stretch, but appear to have a stranglehold on [...]
Taylor Smith’s Week 19 NBA Power Rankings
Out West, the Mavericks, Nuggets, Lakers, and Jazz appear to be separating themselves from the pack as we near the playoffs. In the East, the Cavs appear to have gotten things back in order, and the Celtics are struggling once again. Here’s the full NBA rundown as we head into the second-to-last month of the regular [...]
Taylor Smiths’ Week 18 NBA Power Rankings
With a flurry of deals having gone down prior to last week’s trade deadline, the NBA landscape is different from how it was at this time last week. Contenders have added what they hope to be the final pieces to a championship run, while some other teams positioned themselves to be big spenders come free [...]
NBA Fantasy Star Search (Feb. 11th): Stephen Curry Makes History
We’re back to checking out the league’s primo content deliverers, the guys who can dish out dimes like no other, swish three’s like they’re getting paid for it (even though they actually are), and block shots like they’re diseases. But really, this column is all about giving props to the stars, and tiny shout-outs to [...]
Taylor Smith’s Week 16 NBA Power Rankings: All-Star Break Edition
With the trade deadline looming about a week-and-a-half away, fringe teams are trying to decide between being buyers or sellers, while contenders are contemplating standing pat as opposed to making a move to beef up the roster for the playoff stretch. While the Cavaliers continue to roll at the top, each of last season’s Finals [...]
NBA Fantasy Waiver Wire (Feb. 8th): All-Star Edition
We’re in the final week before the NBA All-Star break, which means you could use a few options to lean on as certain guys sit out the week with injuries. On top of that, it may be time to re-visit what certain injuries mean to the players you pick-up, or the specific injured players, themselves. Stay [...]
Could Tracy McGrady return to the Eastern Conference?
It’s been officially declared: Tracy McGrady’s days in a Houston Rockets jersey are numbered. In fact, with him no longer participating in games, it’s safe to say they’re actually over. Both McGrady and the Rockets front office have agreed to work out a deal, one of which will likely come within the next week or [...]
The New Jersey Nets long wait for free agency
Lots of things in life suck. Crime, disease, poverty and yes… the New Jersey Nets. Not necessarily in that order. Twenty-one games into this NBA season, the Nets are a lowly 2-19. That is not a misprint. The basketball season started six weeks ago and the Nets have recorded only two wins to go with [...]
2009 NBA Draft Grades: Which teams passed with flying colors?
There was some exciting action during last Thursday’s NBA Draft. Ironically enough, more of the excitement was produced by trades outside of the actual draft. Several teams created some cap space, unloaded aging/pricey talent, or simply stood pat. Others went for gold, trading up for early picks, or trading down to package a few. Almost [...]
