After years of turnover, the Denver Nuggets you saw in 2011-12 might closely resemble the ones you'll see in 2012-13. We'll determine whether or not this is a good thing in the fall, when it comes time to dissect the team's standing amongst the best of the West, but for now all signs point to a similarly stout roster in 2012-13, full of the depth and balance that pushed a...

I began writing about the Thunder two seasons ago in the fall of 2010. I wanted to give NBA blogging a try and so on a whim I chose the Thunder. In reflecting about this impending playoff series, I thought back to one of the very first posts I ever wrote on my own site , which was a few months before I joined WTLC. This is that post which, apart from my dedication to following the...

SBN: At the Hive (MrWayneKeller) —
It's the dawning of a new era in New Orleans basketball, and with so much attention paid to matters off the court this season, I believe it's time to evaluate how our franchise performed during its time on the court.

Let's start with what we know: The 2011-12 edition of the New York Knicks was the best team the franchise has put on the floor in 12 years. You can argue that a fact like that doesn't say a whole hell of a lot, given the dilapidated decade the Knicks turned in to kick off the 21st century, but that doesn't mean it ain't true.
