  • PUBLICATION: ESPN.Com DATE: 1/20/15
    PUBLICATION: ESPN.com DATE: 1/20/15 Best of 2014-15 season's first half By: ESPN.com We're halfway home in 2014-15. Who's been tearing it up thus far? Our esteemed panelists make their picks for the best of the NBA season's first half. 1. Which is the best team of the season's first half? J.A. Adande: Golden State Warriors . It's rare we can slap the label of "best" alongside "most entertaining," but the Warriors consistently play fun games -- and consistently win them. When Andrew Bogut joins Stephen Curry , Klay Thompson , Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes in the starting lineup, the Warriors are 22-1. Bogut brings the interior defense to go with the Warriors' stellar backcourt. Bring back the "We Believe" -- only this time it's time to believe the Warriors can win it all, not just a series. Kevin Arnovitz: Golden State Warriors. Versatility is golden. When you have four or five guys on the floor for 48 minutes who can move the ball, shoot from distance, defend multiple positions and make sound decisions, it's difficult to lose. That's increasingly true with or without a healthy Andrew Bogut, although they're a better team when he's on the floor. Tom Haberstroh: Golden State Warriors, with the NBA's nastiest defense by a mile and an offense that's even scarier as of late. They're 22-1 with Andrew Bogut and Klay Thompson in the starting lineup, and they're averaging 118.6 points over their past 10 games.

The setback came as the Pelicans, chasing a play-in game position in hopes of reaching the playoffs, began a five-game road trip at Philadelphia on Friday. The team said in a statement that Williamson under- went a series of diag- nostic tests Thursday and a CT scan revealed the broken finger, with more Zion Williamson evaluation needed to determine a treatment plan and return timetable.

  • The Allure of Professional Basketball
    1 Tribes and Goats: The Allure of Professional Basketball “RIP CITY!!!” Damian Lillard hands over the mic then saunters away, game ball clutched under his right arm, cameramen in pursuit, leaving behind loud cheers and a trail of confetti. The majority of the Moda Center is celebrating, both due to the unfamiliar taste of victory and the sweet taste of revenge—revenge for the playoff defeat five years before, which first introduced me to the world of professional basketball. Just like that night, I am watching from the convenience of my home. But rather than being confused and a little sad, I am jumping out of joy, all because of a single shot by Damian Lillard: a buzzer-beating three-pointer that won the game along with the entire series. Hero and villain, ally and enemy, avenger and assassin—Lillard embodies all of these; how one views him at this moment depends only on which tribe one belongs to. For fans of the Houston Rockets, Lillard is the sole reason for their misery. But for Portland Trail Blazers fans, he is exalted. One defining trait of professional basketball is an emphasis on the individual despite its being a team sport. Just like how Damian Lillard single-handedly dictated the outcome of the ​ game on May 2, 2014, individual players have the power to influence games by a ​ disproportionate amount. These players tend to be the ones with superior skill and athleticism amongst their peers, and they are recognized by being selected to All-Star games and All-NBA teams. Additionally, every year the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is presented to a single player.
