2022-23 Draft Guide Team Preview: Oklahoma City Thunder

By Mike Passador / August 31, 2022

How’d We Get Here? The Thunder are challenging the Sam Hinkie-Sixers for the longest rebuild in NBA history. They added Josh Giddey in 2021 and he proved them right as he had a very impressive rookie season. However, the team used a similar approach by resting their main guys down the stretch run of the […]

2022-23 Draft Guide Team Preview: Minnesota Timberwolves

By Mike Passador / August 31, 2022

How’d We Get Here? The first full season under head coach Chris Finch was a success for a franchise that has been mired in mediocrity since the Kevin Garnett era.

By Mike Passador / August 31, 2022

By Mike Passador / August 31, 2022

How’d We Get Here? We didn’t have to look very hard to determine that the Rockets were not going to try to compete in 2021-22. Their focus was clearly on developing for the future as they paid John Wall a lot of money to sit out of games. Jalen Green was the headliner of players […]

By Mike Passador / August 31, 2022

How’d We Get Here? The season didn’t get off to a great start with the miscommunication that occurred with Zion Williamson’s injury during the preseason.

2022-23 Draft Guide Team Preview: Portland Trail Blazers

By Mike Passador / August 31, 2022

How’d We Get Here? Damian Lillard dealt with abdominal issues while CJ McCollum had a collapsed lung that kept him out for 18 games before we even hit January 1. That combined with their lack of offseason moves over the summer of 2021 helped force the team to look in the mirror and realize that […]
