#NBA2015: Players to Watch - Part One

With the 2014-2015 NBA season beginning in fewer than 10 days, I found it just right to look at some players we should all keep tabs on. There are no-brainers like LeBron, KD, CP3, and James Harden, of course, but there are also many other characters on whom we should put the spotlight. In this first of five parts, we’ll take a look at some key guys for the Hawks, Celtics, Nets, Hornets, Bulls, and Cavs.

A few guys hoping to make the jump, a couple who might get traded, and a
former MVP trying to return to form.

The NBA Roundup: December 27, 2013

Two days after Christmas (in Manila, at least), hoop nuts everywhere were treated to an entertaining set of games in the NBA. And, thank God, those insane sleeved jerseys weren’t anywhere on the hardwood. Let’s keep it that way, shall we?

Today, Jeff Teague outdueled Kyrie Irving in Cleveland, LaMarcus Aldridge and the Blazers continued to roll, Danny Green hit all five of his threes as SAS beat Dallas, and James Harden booked a place in the history books after scoring 27 points on the strength of… 2 field goals.

Jeff Teague stepped up big time as ATL escaped Cleveland.
