Opinion: Warriors make NBA boring

With the Golden State Warriors completing their sweep of the Portland Trailblazers on Monday night, the NBA trophy is looking like it going to be coming back to the bay for the fourth time in five years. Exciting, right? Not really. The Warriors are fun to watch, don't get me wrong, and I have been raised since birth to love them as my team. But come on you guys, this is getting old. And they're going to win again. Even if Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins do not make a return to the court, the 2015 version of the Warriors that we are seeing right now is the hottest team in the NBA. Stephen Curry is playing his best basketball without Durant to pass the ball to. In the Warriors' last 32 games without Durant, Steph has averaged nearly 30 points, 6.6 assists, and has shot the three at 42%. Another man that seems to be on a tear right now is Draymond Green. Entering the finals, Green is coming off one of the best playoff series of his career. Green nearly averaged a triple-double against the Blazers, with 16.5 PPG, 11.8 RPG, and 8.8 APG. With the guaranteed return of Andre Iguodala (who missed game four against the Trailblazers due to a calf strain) to guard either Toronto's Kawhi Leonard or Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo, the r...

March 28, 2016
To say the Golden State Warriors are having a good season would be an understatement. For the second year in a row, the Warriors are the team to beat with a stellar record. This year their record is 64-7, with 11 games remaining in the season. However, it's not smooth sailing for the Dubs the...
The struggle of staying involved while injured

Going to see three different specialists, fracturing three bones, and the worst part, waiting. As the team continues with their season, all you can do is wait. Wait to get healthy and in shape to play again. Sports injuries, to put it blatantly, suck. No matter how much you would like to...

Even though Memphis Grizzlies' top defender Tony Allen was not playing, there was no excuse about how dominant the Warriors were. Not only was the team hitting their...

March 26, 2015
One thing I admire about college basketball is that there's never a game that doesn't make you jump out your seat. When March Madness comes around, all the teams have the opportunity to have a clean slate, and they just focus on playing the best basketball they can. Every year, there is an upset...
