It has been a rough past few days for Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.

On Friday evening, Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks hit the road to take on the Atlanta Hawks in a bit of interconference action.

Fresh off his 46-point outing against the Dallas Mavericks just days ago, Devin Booker once again put on a scoring clinic, going for 62 points against the Indiana Pacers on Friday. Unfortunately for him, Obi Toppin’s heroics played spoiler. The game was tied at 131 apiece during the closing moments of regulation. With 11 seconds […]

Chris Paul was the latest guest on The Draymond Green Show podcast and no topic in his career was off-limits.

On Friday evening, Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic issued a reminder to the world of just how dominant of a force he is with the basketball in his hands. The Mavs were in town to take on the Atlanta Hawks, and Doncic scored a career high of 73 points in what ultimately became a narrow […]

The Dallas Mavericks are currently playing the Atlanta Hawks while the Phoenix Suns are dueling with the Indiana Pacers. […]

SAN FRANCISCO — The Sacramento Kings didn’t draft Keegan Murray as a defensive answer. Coming out of Iowa after a dominant sophomore season, the No. 4 overall pick of the 2022 NBA Draft was billed as a ready-made multi-level scorer, with feathery touch on his jumper, underrated finishing craft and a developing off-dribble game. The […]

On Friday evening, rookie sensation Brandon Miller and the Charlotte Hornets hosted the Houston Rockets in a bit of NBA interconference play from Charlotte. Miller has had a mostly impressive rookie season up to date, giving fans something to cheer about as the Hornets flounder in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. On Friday against the […]

The Detroit Pistons currently own the NBA’s worst record at 5-39. Fortunately for them, they appear motivated to do something about it.

On Friday evening, Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns hit the road to take on the Indiana Pacers in a bit of NBA interconference action.

Earlier this week, the Milwaukee Bucks sent shockwaves throughout the NBA landscape when it was announced that they would be firing head coach Adrian Griffin after just a few months with the organization.

Recently, Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards raised eyebrows with postgame comments regarding the number of free throws awarded to Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander after their game. The great irony of course was that Edwards himself had missed three free throws that would have tied the game for the Timberwolves; instead, the Thunder emerged […]

Small forward Jonathan Kuminga has been playing some of the best basketball in recent weeks for the Golden State Warriors, including going 11-11 from the field in a recent win over the Atlanta Hawks. Unfortunately for his team, that stellar play has not amounted to many wins, as the Warriors continue to freefall down the […]

Jamal Crawford is known by many for his crossovers and highlight plays. After all, that’s where he garnered his nickname, “J-Crossover”, from. However, even a flashy star such as Crawford at one point was in awe of the great Kobe Bryant. In an episode of Run It Back, the three-time Sixth Man of the Year […]

Combine their standing at the bottom of the Western Conference with the generational superstar at the top of their roster and the San Antonio Spurs find themselves involved in trade chatter. Essentially, everyone outside of Victor Wembanyama is touchable. Therein lies the question. What players do the Spurs have that could help other teams – […]

Veteran sports commentator Bill Simmons didn’t hold back in his harsh assessment of Golden State Warriors star Klay Thompson in a recent conversation with Rob Mahoney in his podcast. Klay Thompson has largely struggled this 2023-24 season. And while his numbers have improved over the last few weeks compared to his first 20 games with […]

The NBA has released the Golden State Warriors’ updated schedule for 2023-24 after two previous games were postponed due to the sudden, tragic passing of assistant coach Dejan Milojevic. Golden State’s originally scheduled road game against the Utah Jazz for January 17th has been moved to February 15th at 6:00 p.m. (PT). The Warriors also […]

The Golden State Warriors are aging, wounded and falling behind in a young, star-heavy Western Conference. The dynasty is fading. That appeared to be the case a few years ago, and then the Dubs won another championship in 2022. It was considered indisputable during last year’s adversity-ridden season, but they rallied to upend the Sacramento […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are rolling with the punches and climbing the standings over the last month. They have good reason to confidently chirp at the opponents most nights as Willie Green’s group usually has a lead. The locker room even took a vote to determine the team’s biggest, loudest trash-talker on the team. Unsurprisingly, […]

It’s been a hectic week for the Miami Heat as they traded for star Terry Rozier in exchange for Kyle Lowry and a 2027 first-round pick that was announced Tuesday.

Trae Young is set for another battle with draft-night foil Luka Doncic. The Atlanta Hawks star sat out his team’s last two games while recovering from a concussion and was initially listed as questionable to play in Friday’s matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. Just a couple hours before tipoff at State Farm Arena, though, Atlanta […]

The Charlotte Hornets have already begun their plans for the NBA trade deadline, sending Terry Rozier to the Miami Heat earlier this week. Now, all the attention for this franchise is cast on Miles Bridges, who is being pursued by several teams ahead of the trade deadline. Currently in the final year of his contract […]

The Miami Heat finally get some good news amidst the team currently on a five-game losing streak heading into Saturday’s game against the New York Knicks. Their rookie sensation in Jaime Jaquez Jr. will be available for the contest after missing the last six games according to the team’s X (formerly known as Twitter) account. […]

Third-year head coach Willie Green is getting ‘artistic’ with the rotations a few weeks before the New Orleans Pelicans split for the NBA All-Star break. Switching up what is working for a team 26-18 squad sitting tied for fifth place could ruffle some feathers in some locker rooms. Not in the Smoothie King Center though. […]

Staying in shape is usually critical to succeed in the NBA. Although NBA players have a free pass to let loose for a bit during the offseason, as professional basketball players, they are also required to get in basketball shape once the training camp commences. Unfortunately, however, some NBA players just couldn’t help themselves let […]

The Los Angeles Clippers were well represented when USA Basketball announced its 2024 USA Men’s National Team player pool featuring 41 NBA players. Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and James Harden were all named to the player pool and selected by USA Basketball Men’s National Team managing director Grant Hill. For Paul George and James Harden, […]

If we know anything about the 2024 NBA trade deadline, it is that there is going to be plenty of movement. It is quite possible that there won’t be many All-Star talents on the move, like we saw last season with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving finding new homes. This is especially true after Pascal […]

While LeBron James is devoted to lifting the Los Angeles Lakers (23-23) out of the NBA Play-In Tournament conversation, he is also keeping an eye on the major news that hit Liverpool F.C. on Friday. Beloved manager Jurgen Klopp announced he is leaving the iconic club at the end of the season, eliciting strong responses […]

Next to Stephen Curry, Damian Lillard is one of the greatest long-range shooters in the NBA. The Milwaukee Bucks star is consistently among the league leaders in three-pointers made, something that has remained unchanged this season despite going through some growing pains with a new organization. Lillard, who was recently named an All-Star starter for […]

The NBA East and West All-Star starters were announced on TNT’s Inside The NBA Thursday night. Notable players such as LeBron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, and Joel Embiid were mentioned as part of the starting lineup. Next week, the NBA will announce it’s All-Star reserves. While it’s fair that Houston Rockets star Alperen Sengun […]

The New Orleans Pelicans under third-year head coach Willie Green are in the same spot as last season but have a far brighter outlook. This year’s 26-18 start matches the last but there are a few big differences. First, Zion Williamson and the rest of the Pelicans’ roster are relatively healthy. Secondly, after surviving two […]

With a 19-23 record, it’s safe to say it’s been an ugly season for the Golden State Warriors, and a guy playing a big part in those struggles is Andrew Wiggins. After becoming a crucial piece of their rotation over the past few seasons, Wiggins has regressed mightily this year, and it’s getting to the […]

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum formed a close bond with the late Kobe Bryant, but he still wishes he could’ve asked his legendary mentor more. Bryant tragically passed away four years ago, and Tatum shared how much the basketball great meant to him with Andscape writer Marc J. Spears. “I can’t believe that he’s not […]

The Golden State Warriors community is still mourning the abrupt passing of assistant coach Dejan Milojevic, making it understandably difficult to focus on the basketball product and other questions concerning the future of this team.
