One point of contention for the Los Angeles Clippers over the past few years is their point guard situation alongside Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

John Wall has only been with the Los Angeles Clippers since the offseason and it appears his time with the franchise could be short-lived.

The Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards squared off on Monday but the most compelling matchup of the night was between Draymond Green and a couple of unruly fans.

A playoff berth for the Los Angeles Lakers still seems out of reach. This means a quiet trade deadline seems more likely for them. They could also become sellers before the deadline actually arrives. Here we will look at the players the Lakers must move ahead of the 2023 NBA trade deadline, including Russell Westbrook. […]

The Boston Celtics are roaring with life right now. After losing in the Finals last season, the men in green have looked dominant this season. The star duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have taken turns in taking over games for them, winning in outstanding fashion. Despite all of their talent, though, there’s certainly […]

Halfway through the 2022-23 season and Charles Barkley still can’t believe the Minnesota Timberwolves traded the farm for Rudy Gobert. And well, who can blame him? On Monday after the Timberwolves lost to the Utah Jazz, Barkley couldn’t help but diss the franchise for giving up a ton just for Gobert. Not only has Minnesota […]

LeBron James is 38 years old and has been playing in the NBA for 20 years now. The Los Angeles Lakers star was reminded of that fact as he faced Jabari Smith Jr. and the Houston Rockets on Monday. James and Smith had a funny little exchange on the court where the Rockets rookie told […]

The New York Knicks, despite their Monday night loss against the Toronto Raptors, are currently in the middle of a solid, bounce back campaign built mostly off of their torrid stretch to begin December. The addition of Jalen Brunson has been immense, and Julius Randle is even posting comparable numbers to that of his All-Star […]

Add New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau and guard Jalen Brunson to the list of people roasting NBA officiating in the past few days. It’s no secret the referees, in any sport, have always been a soft target for fans, media, players and coaches. The difference is in the evolution of social media, the […]

The Toronto Raptors have always been capable of playing above expectations, as evidenced by their stellar 2019-20 performance following the departure of Kawhi Leonard and their surprising 48-win campaign last season after bottoming out in 2021. However, the Raptors just have not been able to rekindle the same magic they conjured last season, as they […]

One of the hardest teams to analyze in the current NBA season is the Golden State Warriors.

Still, they should qualify for the playoffs. By then anything can happen. That […]

NBA stars Trae Young and Donovan Mitchell couldn’t be more hyped up after watching Dak Prescott play a historic game for the Dallas Cowboys against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday. And why wouldn’t they be? Not only did Prescott lead the team to the 31-14 victory, but he also silenced his doubters in the […]

Charles Barkley is never one to mince words. During this season alone, Barkley has always been blunt in his assessment of the Los Angeles Lakers, especially as they continue to underperform relative to the usual expectations for a LeBron James-led team. And the Lakers weren’t able to escape Barkley’s scathing criticism once more on Monday […]

During his career with the Boston Celtics, Jayson Tatum has had a few 50-point games that are mentioned with some of the best in the team’s storied history.

Ja Morant led the Memphis Grizzlies to another lopsided win on Monday with a 136-106 blowout victory over a shorthanded Phoenix Suns side.

The Utah Jazz must make crucial moves with less than a month until the NBA trade deadline. Keep in mind that the Jazz started this season off well, going 10-3. Since then, however, they’ve only won 13 games. They currently hold a win-loss record now of 23-24. That’s good enough for eighth place in the […]

The NBA trade deadline is less than one month away. For the Brooklyn Nets, that means one last opportunity to solidify their roster ahead of a potential title run.

Ja Morant wasn’t even supposed to play on Monday against the Phoenix Suns. The Memphis Grizzlies superstar entered the matchup as questionable due to a left hip injury, but he was eventually cleared to play ahead of the opening tip.

To say that Bennedict Mathurin has been balling out for the Indiana Pacers this season would be an understatement at this point.

Draymond Green came up big in the second half for the Golden State Warriors in their game against the Washington Wizards on Monday, and fans might have a Wiz fan to thank for that.

The Los Angeles Lakers suffered another deflating loss on Monday night after losing a close one to the Philadelphia 76ers, 113-112.

Frustrating as another loss to an inferior foe would’ve […]

Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum put together one of his best performances of the season in Monday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets.
