If every NBA player were awarded a mulligan season in their career, this would be the one Jordan Poole would choose to erase and make sure no one ever spoke of again. Entering the 2023-24 campaign, Poole’s first in Washington, there were high hopes of what could be alongside Kyle Kuzma. We’re just about two-thirds through this season and Washington has nine wins. It’s been such a disappointing few months for Poole with the Wizards that if there was an award for Most Exposed Player, he’d already have it in the bag. – Criss Partee Read More
Kyle Kuzma has been seduced by the power of being the No. 1 option on an NBA team. As the leading scorer for the Washington Wizards, he’s the closest thing to a star in the market. In the NBA, merely averaging 20 points per game makes you a star in the eyes of many. Ultimately, the goal is to win games, though, right? And that’s something the Wizards have done at a lower clip than any other team aside from Detroit. So, when presented with the opportunity to join the Dallas Mavericks, of course, Kuz turned that down to stay in the nation’s capital. – Criss Partee Read More
Next to the OKC Thunder, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been one of the biggest surprises of the NBA campaign. They’ve been in control of or hovering near first place in the Western Conference for much of the season. But we may have seen a little bit of foreshadowing brought to us by Clippers star Paul George recently when he crossed up Anthony Edwards, ultimately sending the young man to the canvas in a hurry. Let’s just keep it real, that’s very likely to be the entire squad come playoff time when they’re bounced unceremoniously early from postseason contention. – Criss Partee Read More
Steph Curry’s high-arcing game-winner to sink the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night only strengthened his runaway case as The Association’s Most Clutch Player of the Year. An ensuing win over Utah on Monday positioned the Warriors back above the .500 mantle for the first time since Dec. 23. – DJ Dunson Read More
Now that the world knows LeBron James was presented with the opportunity to become a Golden State Warrior, it’s time to take a deeper dive into the situation. What this came down to was the Warriors front office calling James’ bluff. LeBron is on record saying he’d love to play next to Stephen Curry one day, but once presented with the opportunity, he took a step back. James doesn’t want to play second fiddle to anyone, especially a peer with the same number of titles. All that talk was just that, talk. – Criss Partee Read More
Former NBA player Bryn Forbes was arrested on a family violence charge on Tuesday after allegedly assaulting the mother of his two children.
According to court documents, Forbes allegedly knocked on the woman’s apartment window on Monday, and when she let him in, he punched her in the head, then choked her with his forearms, the collar of her shirt, and then his hands. – Mackenzie Meaney Read More
Closed mouths don’t get fed, and Draymond Green took that philosophy to heart. This time around, Green took it upon himself to take the type of clumsy desperation heave he usually takes in games and wedges between the rim and backboard. – DJ Dunson Read More
The Golden State Warriors may not look like their usual, dominant selves, but Steph Curry’s still got it.
The star point guard usually closes out pregame attempting outlandish, no-angle shots from the tunnel during pregame warmups. This shot was a whole other level of impressive. Curry drilled a shot from behind the opposite baseline, well over 100 feet in distance. – Cale Clinton Read More
