The New Orleans Pelicans have been on a playoffs-or-bust mission since convening for an informal training camp around Labor Day 2023. Making noise in the postseason is the only way Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum would get league-wide respect as a trio. The Pelicans are currently fifth-place in the Western Conference, but Willie […]

When the Los Angeles Lakers won their 17th championship in team history to cap off the 2019-20 season, many wondered just how many titles the powerful duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis would bring back to Hollywood. So far, the answer has remained just one. Under 400 miles and roughly six hours up I-5 […]

The New Orleans Pelicans (37-25) offense has operated in fits and starts through 62 games, yet the team still sits alone in fifth place out West. They have the fourth-best net rating on the back of a near-elite defense led by Herb Jones. Third-year head coach Willie Green’s main job all season has been to […]

For a team that is already banged up, battered, and bruised, the Cleveland Cavaliers seemingly cannot catch a break.

The Athletic […]

The 2023-24 NBA season has been a topsy-turvy one for the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors have been the fourth-worst team in […]

Fun fact: In the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 105-104 win over the Boston Celtics, forward Dean Wade outscored Boston by himself in the fourth quarter.

Wade popped off for 20 points in the fourth […]

The San Antonio Spurs are just 13-48 on the season, the worst record in the Western Conference. However, they have Victor Wembanyama, who is a generational talent that will change the trajectory of this franchise for many years to come.

SAN FRANCISCO — Brandin Podziemski established himself as a present and long-term fixture with the Golden State Warriors barely halfway through his NBA debut.

Victor Wembanyama’s teammates are just as impressed as spectators, fans and journalists are. “It’s f*****g Vic,” is the phrase San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan used to describe part of the generational talent’s prowess.

There was considerable hype surrounding the 2023-24 San Antonio Spurs after they were blessed by the lottery gods and became the team that drafted generational prospect Victor Wembanyama. Wembanyama has been every good as bit as advertised, and he’s improving at an alarmingly (for other teams) rapid rate, but it hasn’t quite translated to team […]

The Detroit Pistons have been in the news for all the wrong reasons this year. Not only have they won just nine games to this point in the season, but they made headlines a few weeks ago when big man Isaiah Stewart punched Phoenix Suns center Drew Eubanks in the face prior to a game […]
