As we’ve discussed ad nauseam around these parts, things have all of a sudden gotten very real for your San Antonio Spurs. This is no longer a team with vague aspirations of jumping into the sixth seed and making a little noise. Instead, it’s a team that is not only making noise, but romping around […]
Shaedon Sharpe was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the seventh pick and a lot of mystery in 2022.

Kevin Durant’s social media platform is usually utilized for trolling. Or humorously engaging in banter with fans, in a rather non-serious manner. Every now and then, Durant will be in his bag, however. Lately, Durant has been cooking. Well, somewhat. On New Year’s Eve, Durant took to Twitter (I don’t think I’ll ever call it […]
