D’Angelo Russell had a rough rookie season. In his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers, Russell wrestled with his coach and battled with the media.

There isn’t the survive-and-advance format of college hoops and college and pro football, or the “get hot at the right time” theme that takes over so many MLB and NHL postseasons.

After one of the most memorable last day of the season in recent history, the NBA heads into the “real season” with one dominating storyline to unfold over the next two months: Will the Golden State Warriors be able to continue their domination over the rest of the league and crown their record-setting regular season with another Larry O’Brien […]
