Very long-time readers of Silver Screen & Roll might remember The Credits. If you don’t, you’d be forgiven, considering it’s been over 10 years since the last one was posted.

Back then, The Credits was a daily post with lots of links to postgame coverage of Lakers games to box scores of other games around the league to articles from various different sites with stories around the league.

Times have changed a bit, but we wanted to bring back a version of The Credits this season. It won’t be daily, but each Friday, we’ll share some of the best articles for various teams, some of our favorite stories around the league and perhaps some news that you may have missed.
