I have been writing this blog for a few months and during that time I have had some amazing opportunities. I have had the chance to write about the sport that I love and the chance to be as creative as I wanted to be. However, I am going to be writing less on this blog. I will be writing more for the other blogs that I am not contributing to. If you enjoy my writing, please follow me on twitter @dennisdownba to stay up with the things that I am writing. This season has started off amazingly well and I look forward to writing more about the NBA season ..read more

Well, the first night of the season was crazy to say the least.  Gordon Hayward looks to be done for the season, the Celtics made a furious comeback and came up short.  Then the Warriors got up big and allowed the Rockets to come back and beat them by one point.  Those were the only two games last night.  Tonight has a full slate with 11 games that include some great match-ups.  Let's go over the games to watch. 1. Philadelphia 76ers vs. Washington Wizards The Washington Wizards bring back their starting five that led them to 49 wins last season and their first game is against the 76ers.  Joe ..read more

I wrote an article detailing why, in my humble opinion, Rajon Rondo is one of the 20 best point guards of all time and I realized that I needed to sit down and write out this list.  Here is 6-10: 10. Gary Payton Gary Payton was a one of a kind point guard.  He talked a ton of trash, was one of the best defensive players ever, and had an underrated offensive game.  Not to mention, one of the coolest nicknames in the history of the NBA, The Glove.  Gary Payton was awesome.  Check out the highlights.  His resume is pretty nice, he finished in the top 10 for MVP voting eight times, two time 1st ..read more

I wrote an article detailing why, in my humble opinion, Rajon Rondo is one of the 20 best point guards of all time and I realized that I needed to sit down and write out this list.  Here is 11-15: 15. Kevin Johnson Kevin Johnson was an explosive point guard during his time in the NBA.  He began his career in Cleveland, but he was traded midway through his second season and became the best point guard to ever play for Phoenix not named Steve Nash.  Johnson was a scoring point guard and was extremely efficient as a scorer.  He did not shoot many three pointers, but he had one season where he s ..read more

I wrote an article detailing why, in my humble opinion, Rajon Rondo is one of the 20 best point guards of all time and I realized that I needed to sit down and write out this list.  Here is 16-20: 20. Mark Price This video will give you a good idea of Mark Price.  Price was a great point guard for the Cavaliers in an era where everyone talks about the Bulls, Knicks, Pistons, and Celtics.  He was the best player on some really good Cavalier teams including the Eastern Conference Finals in 1992 and the 2nd round in 1993.  Mark Price was eliminated from the playoffs by Michael Jordan and the Bul ..read more

Sorry I missed yesterday, but I am back with the second to last players to watch.  This list includes the Jazz, Raptors, Clippers, and Cavaliers.  Let's get started. Utah Jazz Ricky Rubio has had an interesting NBA career.  He came to the NBA with a lot of hype after his showing in the 2008 Olympics going toe to toe with the Redeem Team as a 17 year old point guard for the Spanish national team.  He was drafted in 2009 and waited until the 2011-12 season to make his debut.  Since then he has dazzled with his passing and court vision, but the lack of shooting is something that many people have ..read more

I had originally intended to write about one player from each team, but after some of them have gotten injured and due to being busy writing for quality sites like otgbasketball.com and 94feetreport.com.  I am going to be writing a little bit less on this site, but I am going to continue trying to write at least five articles per week.  I love writing about the NBA and I will continue to do so.  If you have ready anything I have ever written on this site, I appreciate it greatly.  So, instead of writing an in-depth look at one player from each team I am going to write a short blurb about a pla ..read more

Thon Maker had an interesting rookie season for the Bucks to say the least.  He only appeared in 57 games although he was never injured and he only averaged 9.9 minutes per game.  However, when it was time for the playoffs he was Milwaukee's starting center in all 6 of their first round games against the Toronto Raptors.  The point I am trying to make is that Maker showed something to head coach Jason Kidd over the course of the season and he now appears to be a foundational piece for the Bucks moving forward.  Maker's rookie averages are not impressive and a great deal of that is due to the l ..read more
