If you spent your weekend watching football, that is understandable. Lots of great games, great finishes, etc.
If that caused you to turn a blind eye toward the NBA, we’ve got you covered.
Hubbard: The ‘long-running’ Lakers Tragicomedy
Leave a comment
Does it seem to anyone else like we’ve had about five years of Lakers seasons in the first, well, a little over two months of this season?
What was it? About four years ago when we were all enthralled by the slick maneuver that brought Dwight Howard to Los Angeles? And how about that sign-and-trade for Steve Nash? Three years ago?
Sixth Man Rankings: Week 10
1 Comment
When the season began, most people expected to see the Heat, Thunder, and (oops!) Lakers compete for a title. They expected to see the Bobcats struggle.
This season, most people expected to see Kevin Durant and LeBron James in the MVP race. They expected to see Anthony Davis, Bradley Beal and Damian Lillard compete for Rookie of the Year. They expected to see guys like Manu Ginobili, Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford compete for the Sixth Man Award.
People are smart.
Some of these expectations and predictions that come from players, fans and media can be looked at as common sense as well. In the case of the Sheridan Hoops Sixth Man Award Rankings, one might argue that outside of perhaps J.R. Smith, the names on this week’s installment are ones that many would have expected to see stuffing the statsheets when the season began.

There is an unlikely NBA rivalry developing in California. And it doesn’t include the Lakers. 
The Lakers are too busy battling the unrealistic expectations of their spoiled fans to immerse themselves in a full-fledged rivalry such as one with their neighbors down the hall at Staples Center.
No, the developing rivalry is between the Clippers and the Warriors, which went to a new level Saturday night.

Our focus today is on California, with barely a mention of the Lakers or DeMarcus Cousins. Yep, that is how thoroughly the Clippers and Warriors have taken over the basketball landscape.
