COWBOYS: Best and Worst of 2020 By BigDavey on Jan 1, 2021, 12:01pm CST + It applies to the Dallas Cowboys as well. Going into our last regular season game against the Giants, the Cowboys have not beat a team with a winning record. The combined record of the teams they have played is 29-59-1. The good news is that our new head coach will be tested against the Giants in which the game has critical playoff ramifications for both teams. Lets hope that the cards play out so that the Co...

Brandon Ingram is accustomed to a routine on road trips that goes something like this: Land in a city, check in to his hotel room, then almost immediately head to a nearby gym with Pelicans teammate Lonzo Ball to work on his shot and his game. Of course, in a year where almost nothing is normal, that routine is virtually impossible due to lack of gym access, so Ingram has traded some of that extra on-court time for visualization exercises. It appears to be working, because last season’s NBA M...

Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images I know the NBA season just started but that somehow makes it the perfect time to take a look at the NBA’s regular season awards. On this week’s Bleav in Wizards podcast, Larry Hughes and I discussed which Wizards have the potential to at least be in consideration when it comes time to give out the NBA’s regular season awards. The episode provides a more detailed breakdown on the likelihood of these things happening but the high-level case is laid out below ...

Body There are many NBA awards that could be handed out these days. Like the James Harden Ego award to represent someone like Harden who is making $41 million this basketball season and who feels the most unappreciated. Theres the Kyrie Irving award for those spending time in their alternative universe. And the Russell Westbrook award for someone landing in Washington, D.C. who prefers not to speak.

Share: Its funny that every year at the NBA Draft, once the end of the guaranteed money and live appearances arrives at the end of the first round, everybody tunes out and refers to the 60th pick as "Mr.Irrelevant". Thats not very accurate though, is it? Speaking historically, the title of "Mr.Irrelevant" could just as easily be applied to each pick in the draft, as organizations differ greatly in their evaluation of talent and their own needs, particularly in a year without the NCAA tournament...

© Troy Wayrynen-USA TODAY Sports This fourth spot came down to Damian Lillard or Steph Curry. If Curry is a 98 out of 100, then Lillard is a 95 or 96. However, Lillard has a better chance at making the playoffs this season as Portlands roster improved and got healthier this offseason whereas Currys teams roster got worse with the loss of Klay Thompson. Currys team will be fighting for a playoff spot, so itll be difficult for him to garner much MVP buzz no matter how impressive his numb...
