NBA Southeast Division Predictions
Last year, the Southeast didn't give us the best competition in the league. Only two teams made the playoffs last year but they were ousted in the first round and the rest of the division gave us some of the worst records in the NBA. How are they gonna do this year, though?

Which NBA Team is Ready to Take Down the Reigning Champion Golden State Warriors?
With the ability of NBA teams to have more cap space and sign more upper-level talent to play on the same team, "super teams" have been created. The Warriors got lucky and drafted into Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Now that they have reached their primes, they have been able to add players like Kevin Durant and even Boogie Cousins in this last free agency period to add to their already stacked roster. (It's all fun and games, until you're left with a crummy bench, like they have.)

NBA Central Division Predictions. Top Story - September 2018.
Last year, a team from the Central Division were the Eastern Conference champions, but with LeBron gone, that seems very unlikely. However, some of these teams show a lot of promise. So, how far are the teams from the Central Division gonna go?

NBA Atlantic Division Predictions
The Atlantic Division will no doubt give us the Eastern Conference's best competition this next year. The three top teams of the East (Toronto, Philadelphia, and Boston) last year will arguably be even better than last year. But how good are these teams going to be coming into the 2018-19 season? Let's take a look

Best NBA Players of All Time
When considering the best NBA players to ever hit the court, many names come to mind. While today's game will likely prove to be a golden age of basketball, history has given us many legends on the shoulders of which the likes of Stephen Curry, Lebron James, and other future greats stand. But who are the best of all time? Is Lebron in thatconversation yet? What makes a GOAT? The only real way to tell is to determine who is definitely in it. Here is a list of some of the greatest players ever on the court, and some reasons why they ought to be considered so.

Predictions: New Orleans Pelicans
The Pelicans have already established themselves as a playoff contending team, but the question is, how far can they go? I think one of the biggest questions is how losing DeMarcus Cousins will affect them. The Pelicans were already a decent team before they added Boogie, but another all-star definitely elevates their game. The problem is that it didn’t. The Pelicans didn’t really seem to improve with Boogie on the team. In fact, it seemed like the Pelicans played better when he was out with injury than with him on the court. Facing two superstar big men is no fun to think about, but Boogie doesn’t help the team chemistry at all and that hurts. When Boogie got hurt and was ruled out for the rest of the year, the Pelicans made a move to get Nikola Mirotic. At the time, to me, it didn’t seem like the greatest move and that they were just desperate and traded away some valuable role players along with a draft pick, but in the end, the move ended up being great for the Pelicans. Mirotic showed that he played very well in the Pelicans system, and in the 30 games he played in NO, he averaged almost 15 PPG.

Why You Should Watch the NBA This Season
With the NBA preseason set to tip off in just a few short weeks and the regular season right around the corner, basketball fanatics around the world should be excited and pumped for the best time of year. A time when professional basketball one again becomes a part of our lives. A time where a boring Wednesday night can turn into a night of anticipation and delight, or the opposite depending on how your favorite team does, of course.

Should the NBA Swap to the Best 16 Team Playoff Format?
Lets be honest. The NBA is fun to watch, but ultimately, we already know who will win the NBA Finals before the season begins. This makes the season not as fun to watch and the playoffs incredibly boring, especially in the Western Conference. The Warriors have typically grabbed the top seed, unless the Rockets have a stellar regular season, and then come out on top. And the East, until this upcoming season, was dominated by LeBron James and whatever team he was playing for at the time. But now he's gone to the Western Conference, where it seems the majority of the talent has gone. I mean, for crying out loud, the majority of the teams who didn't make the playoffs in the West, had better records than half of the teams that did make the playoffs in the East.

All-Star Guards
It’s no question that the West is packed this year. The real question is though, who will make the All-Star team? The West is jammed pack full of talented guards and obviously, there are gonna be a few snubs when the teams are picked. So who is gonna make it?

Much Ado About Melo?
Pre-Script: I had actually written this article weeks ago, but didn't feel like releasing it because I didn't think it had enough substance. Then I saw Mike Korzemba's video on Melo, and I couldn't have said it any better than he did. Now enjoy!
