Since his arrival in in the Magic Kingdom, he averaged 14.3 points and 10.0 rebounds and has seemingly solidified himself as…

Steve Nash out in Brooklyn, but Ime Udoka likely in

Brandon King

The Brooklyn Nets have gently fired, aka, “mutually parted ways” with head coach Steve Nash, in a move that was abrupt, but not terribly astonishing. The Nets have stumbled out of the blocks with a 2-5 start, despite having the third-highest payroll in the Association, two All-NBA level talents in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, an enigmatic All-Star in Ben Simmons and loads of shooting. The confidence that the Nets claimed to have in Nash on the midst of the Kevin Durant trade request saga this summer took but seven…

Lebron could not take the heat for one day

Brandon King

Full-time scapegoat Russell Westbrook was absent the Lakers lineup with a hamstring injury. At for one night, free of their alleged anchor, did the Lakers rise to show the level of play that the Lesychophants in the media and delusional Lakers fans have been trying to convince the sport populace they have been held back from? In a word, no. The Lakers dropped to 0-4 on the season as the Denver Nuggets game them a 110-99 kick in the pants Wednesday night. Anthony Davis’ stat line looked good; had 22…
