We don’t know what is causing Al Horford to react as though he’s about to get hit by a train whenever a ball clangs off the rim towards him, but that’s exactly what happened in Monday’s contest between the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks. Al Horford flinched at the ball again 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/ZHXeEVBH2Y — […]

The Miami Heat are about to face their toughest challenge yet this season as they are scheduled to go toe to toe against the defending champions, Golden State Warriors.

Kyrie Irving may have changed teams over the offseason but his handles remain just as deadly. And on Monday night, Irving wowed everyone watching the Boston Celtics take on the Atlanta Hawks, as Uncle Drew executed a series of dribbling maneuvers that left four Atlanta defenders looking like helpless bystanders.

If it weren’t for Chris Paul and Paul George, Utah Jazz rookie hotshot Donovan Mitchell could be preparing to torch ACC defenders in the upcoming NCAA season as the top offensive weapon on the Louisville Cardinals’ roster. According to a story by Jonathan Feigen of The Houston Chronicle, Mitchell said that it was Paul and […]

With the eloquence of an angry sailor, Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook let reporters know just how frustrated he was with the officiating of Sunday’s game between his team and the Portland Trail Blazers. Speaking to reporters following their 103-99 loss to Portland, Westbrook zeroed in on the referees, accusing them of being one-sided […]

Last week, the GOP introduced a tax plan, and why in the world is that news appearing on this sports website is due to the inclusion of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry’s name in the 429-page bill. For whatever reason, congressmen thought that out of all the famous personalities in this age of 15-minute […]

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Carmelo Anthony was ejected in the third quarter of Sunday night’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers after committing a flagrant foul 2 on a driving play. According to NBA rules, when a player is assessed with a flagrant foul 2, he is automatically thrown out of the court. Anthony’s ejection […]

Frustration built up on the Miami Heat last Friday after taking a bitter 95-94 road loss against the Denver Nuggets. It spoiled whatever momentum Miami had after breaking a three-game skid with a home win over the Chicago Bulls last Wednesday. Moreover, it caused some Heat players to question their roles, including mercurial big man […]

San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich can walk away from the game right now and spend the rest of his life at a lakeside cabin and still has his place in history secured. He further solidified his Hall of Fame credentials Sunday when he guided the Spurs to a 112-95 win at home over […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have one of the stoutest defenses in the league right now. Entering Sunday’s matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Thunder are third in the NBA, surrendering just 96.3 points per game. The Trail Blazers sure have taken note of that and likely had planned their game around figuring out how […]

The locker room environment of the Chicago Bulls, as most of us would imagine, is a toxic one, especially after the altercation that happened between Nikola Mirotic and Bobby Portis two days before the team’s season opener. It resulted in an eight-game suspension for Portis for punching Mirotic, who was left to deal with some […]

Lamar Odom, former NBA player and the two-time champion is back in the headlines again after TMZ Sports released a video of Odom slumped on the floor in a Los Angeles nightclub named Bootsy Bellow which reportedly took place Sunday morning.

The Toronto Raptors are in the middle of a tough match against the Washington Wizards which has become tougher for them after point guard Kyle Lowry was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday’s contest. Lowry was shown the door by the game’s officials after getting consecutive technical fouls for incessantly complaining. Lowry was ticked […]

If you want to ask Houston Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni about forward Luc Mbah a Moute, well, don’t. Not because Mbah a Moute is a subject that brings up bad memories for D’’Antoni but rather because he’s someone the Rockets mentor would like the rest of the league continue to underestimate. Speaking to Jonathan […]

There are plenty centers out there trying to be point guards but there’s arguably no one who can do it better and more efficient than Denver Nuggets unicorn Nikola Jokic. Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant has taken notice of the seemingly endless potential of Jokic, elaborating to Adam Mares of Denverstiffs.com why he thinks […]

The Houston Rockets’ Chris Paul experience has lasted for just one game so far this season, but the point guard just dropped some clues signifying that he could be back directing traffic on the floor soon. According to Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle, Paul said that Houston head coach Mike D’Antoni is raring to […]

Zaza Pachulia is the gift that just keeps on giving for the Golden State Warriors. We’re not referring to his limited offensive skill set but rather to his unintentionally loony ways on and off the court. And we were again treated to a dose of Pachulia Saturday night when the usually flat-footed center turned on […]

Kristaps Porzingis is clearly the New York Knicks’ best player today despite the best efforts of Tim Hardaway Jr. to shoot the air out of the basketball every game. Porzingis isn’t only the team’s best offensive weapon. He’s also the Knicks’ most important piece on the other end of the floor. These are two facts […]

The Golden State Warriors had an easy time disposing of the Denver Nuggets on the road Saturday, eking out a comfortable 127-108 win for their third-straight victory. As usual, it was the pair of Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry, who did most of the damage on their opponents. Durant paced the team with 25 points, […]

LeBron James shoveling 57 points down the Washington Wizards’ throat wasn’t the only amazing feat that left NBA fans picking their jaws up from the floor on Friday night. There’s also the fact that Detroit Pistons big man and known incompetent free-throw shooter Andre Drummond went 14-of-16 from the foul line in a 105-96 home […]

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell was considered a sleeper candidate to win Rookie of the Year honors prior to the season, but the more he plays, the fewer people think he’s just a dark horse to win it. Trophies aside, Mitchell is also getting quite plenty of attention not only with his solid play on […]

Where’s Juancho? If you’re wondering why we haven’t seen Denver Nuggets forward Juancho Hernangomez on the floor of late, it’s because he’s still dealing with mononucleosis. It’s the same condition that has kept him sidelined in all but two of the Nuggets’ games thus far this season. According to head coach Mike Malone, Hernangomez is […]

David Lee and Caroline Wozniacki’s ring ratio is now 1:1. That’s after the one-time NBA champion and the tennis superstar got engaged recently. Wozniacki even shared a photo of her engagement ring through her Twitter account.

Today, we learned that Washington Wizards forward Kelly Oubre Jr. isn’t a fan of subtlety. After his involvement in last week’s in-game skirmish with the Golden State Warriors, Oubre could find himself back in the headlines for the wrong reason. Again. This time, it’s because of a questionable choice of clothing he wore when he […]

On the same day the Indiana Pacers saw Myles Turner return after a long absence due to a concussion, the team seems to be dealing with another injury to another one of their power forwards. That’s rookie big man T.J. Leaf, who unfortunately sprained his ankle during Friday’s 121-110 road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. […]

Prior to engaging the Cleveland Cavaliers in a high-profile showdown Friday, Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal made a bold claim that should only light up a fire underneath LeBron James and company. Speaking to Rachel Nichols and Paul Pierce of ESPN’s The Jump, Beal didn’t hesitate to declare his team as the best in the […]

There isn’t much talent on the New York Knicks’ roster outside of Kristaps Porzingis, especially after Carmelo Anthony was traded to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the offseason for a pair of second-unit quality pieces in Enes Kanter and Doug McDermott, plus a future draft pick. That Tim Hardaway Jr. was the biggest free agent […]

It’s still early in the season but it has been abundantly clear that the Milwaukee Bucks will go as far as do-it-all unicorn Giannis Antetokounmpo takes them. Antetokounmpo has been so much of a force on the court that his teammates have developed a bad habit of letting the Greek Freak do most of the […]

Boston Celtics swingman Gordon Hayward is in the middle of what is a very long recovery process from a nasty leg injury he suffered right on the opening night of the NBA. Perhaps to pass some time and vent his emotions caused by the injury, Hayward decided to detail what he went through in the […]

When the Golden State Warriors got former Oregon Ducks big man Jordan Bell via a trade with the Chicago Bulls on draft day, it was instantly seen as a steal for the defending NBA champions. Not only that, many people familiar with Bell’s college career, thought that the Warriors just pilfered Chicago with essentially a […]

It’s always nice to have some optimism in life, but Enes Kanter’s positivism of his New York Knicks could be bordering on the quixotic. Speaking to Adam Zagoria of SNY.tv on Thursday, the Turkish big man bared his confidence about the Knickerbockers’ chances of reserving a spot in the playoffs this season. “Let me tell […]

The Washington Wizards are no pushovers, thanks in large part to its backcourt tandem of John Wall and Bradley Beal, arguably among the best in the NBA today. Powered by the two guards, the Wizards have become a title contender, worthy enough to be in the same discussion with the Golden State Warriors, Cleveland Cavaliers, […]

Constructing a baseball team and a basketball roster are apples and oranges. We just can’t juxtapose the two and compare them. Nevertheless, not a few people have noticed the similarities between the newly-minted World Series champions Houston Astros and the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers in terms of the philosophy both franchises have shared over the past […]

It was reported earlier that the Detroit Pistons and the Phoenix Suns were in talks for a trade that primarily involves Reggie Jackson and Eric Bledsoe. That discussion is now finished with both parties failing to come to terms. And according to Jake Fischer of Sports Illustrated, a third team in the form of the […]

Expect Golden State Warriors forward Kevin Durant to be on the highlights tonight, though it’s not for something he’d probably like. During today’s match between the Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs, Danny Green took Golden State’s defense to the woodshed at least on one play when he shook off Stephen Curry and attacked the […]

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott isn’t sweating the looming absence of teammate Ezekiel Elliott. Elliott’s latest attempt to block the six-game suspension from the NFL was denied on Tuesday, though he could still be allowed to play at least this coming Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs depending on the outcome of his latest appeal. […]

The Dallas Cowboys’ triumvirate of Ezekiel Elliott, Dak Prescott, and Dez Bryant is in danger of missing Elliott because of a suspension, but there could be some concern that Bryant could be joining the running back on the inactive list for Week 9’s matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. According to a report by Charean […]

The general presumption among football observers and fans after the San Francisco 49ers traded for Jimmy Garoppolo was that the quarterback would immediately take over the reins under center for head coach Kyle Shanahan. It turns out, that’s that is not what’s going to happen. During a press conference on Wednesday, Kyle Shanahan revealed that […]
