Charlotte Edmonds | Wednesday, October 16, 2019

I’ve thought long and hard about this Sports Authority. The timing had to be perfect. I needed to allow myself enough time to process what happened but knew that I was facing an inevitable deadline. And now, with the NBA regular season a mere week away, I’m forced to face the facts — things are

Edmonds: Making early NBA observations

Charlotte Edmonds | Monday, November 5, 2018

Only 10 games into the 82-game NBA season and things are starting to shake out as teams work through injuries and new additions. Although no significant conclusions can be made until at least the All-Star break, these are my much-too-soon observations.

Edmonds: What makes Russell Westbrook great

Charlotte Edmonds | Thursday, August 23, 2018

Having begun my amateur journalism career in news, the thought of writing a sports opinion piece is my own personal eighth circle of hell.

Mazurek: Reflecting on the most ridiculed NBA trades

Marek Mazurek | Tuesday, January 30, 2018

Hoonhout: Who can challenge the Warriors in the West?

Tobias Hoonhout | Wednesday, October 11, 2017

­­­Although my colleague Mia Berry made some good points about the unbalance in the NBA in her column yesterday, the fact of the matter is that the Western Conference, with potentially 10 teams fighting for the final five playoff spots, remains a dogfight for who will be playing besides the Spurs, Rockets and Warriors come

Ivey: Look out for Thunder

Michael Ivey | Tuesday, September 26, 2017

  The Golden State Warriors remain the standard in the NBA. They have made the last three NBA Finals, won two of them, and are the favorite to repeat as champions this upcoming season.

Stempak: Durant changes the playing field

R.J. Stempak | Tuesday, August 30, 2016

One of the biggest free agency losses in NBA history happened this summer.
