While there are NBA teams with fluid head-coaching situations (Indiana Pacers, Washington Wizards and potentially the Milwaukee Bucks), only three jobs are up for grabs at the moment. Those teams are the Boston Celtics, Portland Trail Blazers, and Orlando Magic who have vacancies and are on the head-coaching search. Here’s a ranking of the three […]

The incredible career of Tom Brady is one of pure dominance and determination. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback came over from New England after 20 years with the Patriots, winning six titles with the franchise. In his first year with the Buccaneers, Brady and Tampa Bay went on a heck of a roller coaster ride. […]

Carmelo Anthony has built himself quite the career on the court. But he’s also winning outside of basketball. In this post, we’re taking a look at Carmelo Anthony’s wife, La La Anthony, and how they ended up together. Carmelo Anthony’s wife: La La Anthony Melo and La La are both natives of New York City […]

The Sacramento Kings have long been craving some sort of stability within their franchise. One year after another has passed with the Kings fading out of postseason contention and the same beat goes on. It’s a franchise that hasn’t made the playoffs since the 2005-06 season. That’s almost unfathomable to imagine but it’s the reality […]

Based on NBA history, the Brooklyn Nets have no chance to win the NBA championship. Every single title-winning team throughout the past four decades of NBA history has fit a certain mold – one that isn’t shaped like this 2020-21 Nets roster. If Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving want to raise the Larry […]

To really no one’s surprise, Aaron Rodgers is not expected to be in attendance for the beginning of the Green Bay Packers’ mandatory training camps, which start June 8th. While this decision certainly holds short-term financial repercussions for the 2020 NFL Most Valuable Player, there are much more important impacts (Jordan Love’s future) that can […]

The Tennessee Titans made some waves over the weekend. The defending AFC South champions officially acquired Pro Bowl wide receiver Julio Jones from the Atlanta Falcons.

The Dallas Mavericks and Portland Trail Blazers were each eliminated in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs for the second consecutive season. Both the Mavs and Portland are now asking themselves how they can best surround their star players this offseason (Luka Doncic and Damian Lillard). Here’s a thought: how about the two […]

After falling short against the Clippers for the second straight postseason, one thing has become abundantly clear: the Mavs need to find Luka Doncic help. They simply have needs to fill on their roster. With no secondary playmaking, and a lack of consistent scoring off the bench, no athleticism on the wings, or a traditional […]

Luka Doncic is arguably the best rising star in today’s NBA and is in line for a historic contract this offseason. In his young career, he has already racked up a good amount of triple-doubles, made two time All-Star appearances, and took the Mavericks to two straight postseason appearances. In every game, Luka is proving […]

The Los Angeles Clippers survived a seven-game series with the Dallas Mavericks. Their reward is a date with the Utah Jazz. The Jazz entered the playoffs as the best team in the NBA, though they had to withstand some early drama. Donovan Mitchell was held out of Game 1, prompting some frustration on his behalf […]

The Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks were both booted out in the first round. It immediately sent their respective fans to discuss among themselves what needs to be done to get off this playoff rut. As always, their attention drifts to Damian Lillard and Luka Doncic, both of whom were outstanding in their respective […]

The Dallas Mavericks can call the 2020-21 NBA season a success despite their first-round exit. After all, apart from their improved regular-season standing, they managed to stretch their first-round duel with the might LA Clippers to seven games. Luka Doncic proved once again why he’s the next face of the league. Other Mavs players, too […]

We’ve all seen the photoshops, right? Every single year dozens, if not hundreds of Los Angeles Lakers faithful put in some major effort to slip in their favorite NBA All-Stars into some Purple and Gold jerseys. Lakers fan or not, you have to admit, those edits usually look.. not terrible. Just a quick search on […]

The Philadelphia 76ers and Atlanta Hawks are set to meet in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, starting Sunday at the Wells Fargo Center.

[…]

Brooklyn Nets superstar James Harden looked forward to this highly-anticipated second round “showdown” as he called it, with the Giannis Antetokounmpo and Milwaukee Bucks. Unfortunately, The Beard was forced to leave Game 1 just 43 seconds into the first quarter after he reinjured his hamstring. Harden was unable to return to the game. However, it […]

Things did not look good for the Milwaukee Bucks in their 115-107 Game 1 loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night. The final score won’t suggest it, but the Nets looked like they were in cruise control the entire way. This doesn’t bode well for the Bucks, especially since Brooklyn essentially played without star […]

The Portland Trail Blazers have been bounced in the first round in four of the last five seasons. If you’re a Blazers fan, you’ve probably heard that factoid dozens of times already since Portland was eliminated by the Denver Nuggets in six games. Immediately after Game 6, NBA Twitter started flooding with potential Damian Lillard […]

Phoenix is riding the high of knocking off LeBron James […]

LOS ANGELES – Regardless of the outcome in Game 6 against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks, the LA Clippers had to fly back home on Friday night. It would either be home for the rest of the offseason or home to force a Game 7. Kawhi Leonard decided he wanted another game Sunday afternoon […]

It didn’t take long before the Portland Trail Blazers made their first big move of the offseason. Barely 24 hours after being eliminated by the Denver Nuggets in the first-round of the playoffs, Portland decided to part ways with long-time head coach Terry Stotts. After four first-round exits in the past five years, it was […]

The 2006-07 Dallas Mavericks should have gone down as one of the best teams in NBA history. After winning a franchise-record 67 games in the regular season and having the MVP in Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavs were primed to win it all in 2007 after blowing a 2-0 series lead to the Miami Heat in […]

The Lakers’ season finale was […]

Once again, Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers have been booted out in the first round of the playoffs. This marks their fifth first-round exit in eight seasons. Clearly, there’s something wrong with the team. They’ve been stuck in a mid-tier status for so long that it’s getting depressing. The thing about the Trail […]

If someone told you that LeBron James was centrally responsible for the Los Angeles Lakers failing to escape the first round of the NBA playoffs, you would probably view that person as crazy and unfair, a Skip Bayless wannabe with the dumbest and trashiest hot takes. On the surface, it seems completely foolish and reckless […]

Despite having zero championships in franchise history, the Phoenix Suns have given basketball fans some of the most exciting teams to watch since the organization was founded in 1968. After eliminating LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, is this iteration of the Suns—led by Devin Booker and Chris Paul—already the […]

This piece is about Trae Young. But let’s start this off with every Atlanta Hawks fan’s favorite topic – Luka Doncic. Imagine if we lived in a world where Luka Doncic never existed. No Luka Magic. No heir apparent to Dirk Nowitzki in Dallas. No Slovenian pretty boy charming referees. In this reality, the Atlanta […]

Fittingly, it may cause their repeat quest to end prematurely in Game 6 vs. the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center.

While it was a deflating end to the season for the New York Knicks after getting stomped out of the NBA playoffs by the Atlanta Hawks, what they accomplished throughout the year can not go unnoticed. It’d be a hard pressed task to find anyone who thought this Knicks team would win 41 games and […]
