But they proceeded to lose three straight games and ultimately the series with Tatum coming up short […]

The Boston Celtics drafted Aaron Nesmith with 14th overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, impressed by his potential as a versatile, 3 and D wing.

Understandably, Magic fans and some Orlando players showed their disgust over House’s sharp comment. Cole Anthony, Terrence Ross, and Mo Bamba all […]

For more than 10 years now, the Orlando Magic franchise has been one of uninspired, languid basketball defined by lack of ambition. Since trading Dwight Howard before the 2012-13 season, the Magic have only made the playoffs twice, suffering two first-round exits at the hands of the Kawhi Leonard-led Toronto Raptors and the Giannis Antetokounmpo-led […]

Jaylen Brown is pissed at the refereeing this season. League officials have cracked down hard on the blatant travelling and dribbling violations during NBA games.

The Boston Celtics have been so good this season that it’s almost easy to overlook the fact that they’ve been doing what they’ve been doing without starting center Robert Williams in the mix. Well, that all changed on Friday as the 25-year-old made his much-awaited season debut after finally recovering from offseason surgery. Williams took […]

Al Horford will be available for the Boston Celtics’ Friday matchup with the Orlando Magic, per the Celtics Twitter account.

The Brooklyn Nets are on a tear, posting the NBA’s best record (11-3) over their last 14 games.

It has understandably caused quite a stir with various fans vocal about their thoughts on the sweeping changes. Add NBA veterans Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford to that […]

A rush of adrenaline makes a human capable of something they never thought was within their capacity. People don’t feel as much pain whenever they’re in the heat of the moment. (Kobe Bryant and Klay Thompson’s free-throw feats post-injury immediately come to mind.) But in this instance, it’s Jaylen Brown who had no idea what […]

Clipper Darrell is one of the most popular and longest-tenured Los Angeles Clippers fans around, so this latest incident at Crypto.com Arena was definitely shocking, to say the least.

Jayson Tatum was as hot as the sun Tuesday night, as he played like an MVP to lead the Boston Celtics to a 122-118 overtime victory over LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in Hollywood. The Celtics started the game on the heels of a two-game losing skid, and there was no way Tatum […]

It appears as if the Boston Celtics were faltering late in the second game of a back-to-back. After leading the Los Angeles Lakers by double digits for most of the game, the Celtics let their foot off the gas. In the span of around 10 game minutes, the Lakers, led by their big three of […]

LeBron James is no stranger to pulling off dunks that would have ended someone else’s career had they actually gone through the net.
