MVP Ladder Newcomers: LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Kevin Durant and Brandon Jennings. 1) Andre Miller Game one stats: 27 minutes, 28 points, 11-16 FG, 5 assists, 3 rebounds. Not only did Miller score a game-high 28 points in 27 minutes off the bench, but he also blew by a 23-year old rookie in Draymond Green for the game-winning [...]
I’ve always been a big believer that there should be an MVP of the Playoffs. Of course it’s a tough award to give out because: (1) there’s a guy called LeBron James and (2) it’s common sense to give the MVP to someone who takes their team to the Finals, but luckily I have the 2006-2007 Baron Davis to thank for helping [...]
It’s been a rough few months but I can now say that I am a proud fantasy owner of Deron Williams. In fact, I can even stomach watching him play now. So on Monday night, I set time aside to watch a new rejuvinated Deron go to work against the 76ers, and to my surprise, he flirted with a triple double.

Now that Rondo will miss the rest of the regular season, David Stern will have to pick someone to replace him for the All-Star game on February 17th. Originally, that had me thinking that Stern would have to pick a guard, but according to league rules, that’s not the case. Anyone can replace Rondo. So [...]
Since the new year rolled around, Deron Williams has been a new player. He’s taking more shots. He isn’t passing up wide open three’s. He’s crossing folks up again. He’s…back? Maybe it’s too early to say that he’s officially back, but there is a reason to believe that he’s about to turn the corner. And if this is the start of something, well, not only has it [...]
When Deron Williams played for the Utah Jazz, his numbers were just crazy. Take the 2010-2011 season as an example: before being traded to the Nets, Williams was putting up 21.3 points and 9.7 assists per game on 46/35/85 shooting. Whilst he has averaged those numbers since joining the Nets [...]
