June 2, 2025 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Being a basketball fan is truly exciting right now. The game is transitioning smoothly from one era to the next. LeBron James has had an incredible two-decade career, and it’s time for King James to relinquish the crown.

With Giannis leading the way, Bucks leaving Las Vegas a ‘better team’ after winning NBA Cup

December 18, 2024 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Giannis Antetokounmpo was determined to win the NBA Cup. He came close in 2023, losing in the semifinals. A year later, Giannis and Milwaukee Bucks had some unfinished business in Las Vegas.

You can take Paul George’s name off the NBA free-agent tracker list.

October 10, 2017 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

The 2017-18 NBA season can’t arrive soon enough, especially after a super-busy offseason that saw Kyrie Irving traded to Boston, Paul George and Carmelo Anthony joining forces with Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City, and Chris Paul teaming up with James Harden in Houston.

James Harden’s MVP-type season must be crushing OKC

January 28, 2015 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Back in 2012 the great Bill Simmons wrote a great piece on Grantland that rips Oklahoma City management for breaking up a three-headed monster in James Harden, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant. The last line of Simmons’ article read: Oklahoma City will rue the day it traded James Harden. Fast forward to 2015. The Thunder … [Read more…]

KD, Westbrook miss Harden vs. Spurs

June 1, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook have to be asking themselves, “Where would our team be now if we still had James Harden?” Durant and Westbrook won’t say it publicly but privately they have to be frustrated at Oklahoma City owner Clay Bennett and general manager Sam Presti for allowing their good friend to leave town. … [Read more…]

He’s Ibaka: Return of OKC’s Serge Protector

May 25, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Oklahoma City Thunder’s Serge Ibaka had a Willis Reed moment. For those who are too young to remember Willis Reed, he’s the guy who lifted the New York Knicks to a world championship in 1970 by sinking two baskets at the start of Game 7 despite a leg so badly hurt he could barely jog. … [Read more…]

Scott Brooks may be holding back Thunder

April 21, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

Finding fault in a coach who has won 50 games three times and 60 once in the last five years sounds a bit ridiculous. But if you’re Oklahoma City, the time is now to win a championship and Scott Brooks may not be the right guy to get the Thunder over the hump. As good … [Read more…]

OKC’s Reggie Jackson has Spurs’ number

January 22, 2014 by Joel Huerto Leave a Comment

While all eyes have been focused on Kevin Durant during his remarkable scoring binge this month, lost in the shuffle is the brilliant play of Reggie Jackson. The third-year pro out of Boston College has been more than just a backup plan for Oklahoma City while Russell Westbrook continues to recover from knee surgery. Jackson … [Read more…]

NBA Northwest Division Preview

October 16, 2013 by Joel Huerto 2 Comments

Anyone who watches ESPN’s “First Take” knows Skip Bayless’ daily diatribe on Russell Westbrook. Bayless slams Westbrook every chance he gets, pointing out Westbrook’s shortcomings as a point guard and how he is curbing Kevin Durant’s greatness. Bayless is right about one thing, and that is Westbrook is not a true point guard. What Bayless … [Read more…]
