The Atlanta Hawks are in bad shape right now, going just 3-7 in their last 10 games. While the team is just frankly not playing well, injuries are taking their toll. Trae Young is dealing with back soreness, while John Collins and Dejounte Murray have both missed time due to ankle injuries. On Wednesday morning, […]

The Golden State Warriors will travel to take on the Indiana Pacers in a Wednesday night NBA matchup at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse. With that said, it’s a good time to check out our NBA odds series, which includes a Warriors-Pacers prediction and pick, laid out below. Golden State has lost three of their last four games, […]

It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Lakers’ Achilles heel is perimeter shooting. In the three-point driven meta of today’s NBA, the Lakers are lagging behind. On a nightly basis, the Lakers are making the least amount of triples at 9.7 per game, with the second-worst percentage in the entire association, behind only the New […]

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors are arguably the most confounding team in the West this season. They have games where they look the part of the defending champions, like when they dismantled the Boston Celtics early last week. Then they have stinkers like the one they had on Tuesday against the previous season’s […]

One thing that will never change for as long as LeBron James is around is that people will always expect his teams to contend, or, at the very least, fans will always be drawn to the gravity of his greatness. Alas, the reality of the situation is that the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t good at […]

Jayson Tatum got the better of LeBron James on Tuesday. The Boston Celtics came out victorious in an absolutely wild clash with the Los Angeles Lakers that saw both teams pull off improbably comebacks. But Tatum’s respect for James hasn’t diminished one bit. The Celtics star was asked about the matchup with LeBron that saw […]

For the second time in a week, Anthony Davis let the Los Angeles Lakers down at the free-throw line in the final seconds. Yet, LeBron James isn’t about to lose confidence in his teammate. Davis missed a free throw in the closing seconds of regulation in the Lakers’ overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on […]

Without a doubt, LeBron James is the greatest player of his generation. While the GOAT argument has been a divisive one amongst fans, his place in the history of the game is solidified after countless achievements in the NBA. Soon enough, there’ll be one more record the Los Angeles Lakers’ star will break – scoring […]

The Los Angeles Lakers didn’t exactly have a night to remember on Tuesday as they lost what looked like an upset in hand against the Boston Celtics. LeBron James can at least revel in the fact that he garnered another piece of NBA history as a consolation prize. With his 33-point outing against the Celtics, […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo is arguably the best player in today’s NBA, no small feat given the greatness of his contemporaries. Antetokounmpo possesses the rare blend of all-world athleticism, elite finishing, power dribbling, and stifling defense, making him one of the best ever to play the game of basketball. Alas, no one’s perfect, and Antetokounmpo, despite how great […]

One could make the case that the Los Angeles Lakers’ recent overtime losses to the Philadelphia 76ers (in Philly on Friday) and the Boston Celtics (at home on Tuesday) marked moral victories for Darvin Ham’s 11-16 squad. In fact, I have made the case. LeBron James vehemently disagrees. Both games had glaring similarities. Back in […]

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 […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, at one point, had a 99.3 percent probability to take the win over the visiting Boston Celtics. The monumental choke job left Celtics icon and former James rival Paul Pierce absolutely giddy. Pierce was in attendance at Crypto.com Arena and had a message for LeBron after watching his […]

If you’re a Golden State supporter, there was a lot to be upset about during the Warriors-Bucks clash on Tuesday. One particular instance stood above the rest for Stephen Curry. With the Bucks building an early lead, Curry stopped on a dime for his patented pull-up three-point shot. Unsurprisingly, it went it. That’s despite the […]

Charles Barkley slid one spot down the NBA’s all-time scoring list Tuesday night, with Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden passing him for the 27th spot. Harden entered the Sixers’ game against the Sacramento Kings at home needing just 14 more points to tie Barkley on the list and 15 to gain solo possession of the […]

It looked like the Los Angeles Lakers (11-16) were going to be predictably outclassed by the Boston Celtics (22-7) on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. Los Angeles was roasted in the first half and trailed the league’s best team by 20 points in the third quarter. Then the unimaginable happened — even by NBA regular-season […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are just getting started. Jaren Jackson Jr. returned after missing the start of the season, scoring 20 points in four consecutive games, the first time he has done that in his career. Ja Morant continues to play at an MVP-level, making jaw-dropping plays look routine, like this up-and-under layup in their recent […]

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics had quite a game Tuesday night. Both legendary franchises exchanged haymakers in the form of huge runs in the second half, with each team momentarily thinking they’ve got the game absolutely in the bag only to see the other side defy mathematical projections to alter the course […]

The Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers put their fans on a rollercoaster of a ride Tuesday night in what can be considered one of the wildest meetings between the two rivals, at least in recent memory. The Celtics eventually got the win, 122-118 in overtime, with Jayson Tatum boosting his MVP stock with […]

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. Back in the dying seconds of Game 7 of the 2016 NBA Finals, James went soaring through the air, almost sending Draymond Green to the shadow realm with a ferocious hammer that […]

Dallas Mavericks fans are well aware of Luka Doncic’s penchant for getting penalized by referees. The Slovenian wunderkind has been amongst the league leaders in technical fouls over the last three seasons and has been suspended because of it in the past. It’s one of the few items on his shortlist of weaknesses. But one […]

Houston Rockets head coach Stephen Silas showed his appreciation for Monty Williams after the Phoenix Suns tactician gave him a long hug following their latest battle. For those not in the know, Silas recently lost his father, NBA legend Paul Silas. It’s undoubtedly a difficult time for him–with the Rockets coach even taking a leave […]

There are few players in the NBA that make the blood boil more than Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul. Paul not only gets in the head of his opponents with his sneaky tactics, he is also constantly yapping at the ears of officials. Simply put, Paul has mastered the art of controlling the game. […]

Michael Jordan was just bestowed the honor of being the name tied to the NBA Most Valuable Player award. Unsurprisingly, this triggered some rather pointed reactions from LeBron James stans. Those same supporters won’t enjoy the recent comments from journeyman NBA veteran Evan Turner. With LeBron fans questioning what award the NBA could possibly honor […]

When Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green asked for a Milwaukee Bucks fan to be ejected from Tuesday’s game, a lot of people knew something bad or inappropriate was said during their heated exchange. And true enough, that is the case as Green revealed what triggered him to ask officials and security personnel to have […]

Death may be an inevitable part of life, but processing grief never gets easier at any point. Losing a loved one hurts, no matter the circumstances and no matter how prepared someone thinks they are. One can only imagine the heavy feeling in Houston Rockets head coach Stephen Silas’ heart after his father, the legendary […]

James Harden had his way against the Sacramento Kings Tuesday night, as he put up a scintillating stat line in a 123-103 home win by the Sixers. Harden finished with 21 points on 7-for-13 shooting from the field and also added 15 assists in 36 minutes on the floor. His impact on the game was […]

Jordan Clarkson may not be the most complete player in the league (even though he is pretty darn good). However, if there’s anything the Utah Jazz guard can do at a high level, it’s put the ball through the hoop in a variety of ways. He can slither his way into the hoop for easy […]

The officials definitely didn’t cost the Golden State Warriors a second straight win against a potential NBA Finals opponent. Steve Kerr, to be clear, wasn’t suggesting otherwise on the postgame podium. But in the aftermath of his team’s wholly dispiriting 128-111 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, the Warriors head coach—whistled for a first […]

It looks like Charles Barkley is tired of talking about the Los Angeles Lakers, and he even had some harsh words for LeBron James and co. as he compared them to the Los Angeles Clippers. During the latest episode of Inside the NBA on Tuesday, Barkley took issue on the cast incessantly discussing the Lakers. […]

Shaq and Charles Barkley have had their fair share of on-air quarrels through the years. Some are more intense than others, but nothing really escalates to a level wherein the pair got into some sort of physical altercation on the set. These two may not be best of friends, but there’s no denying that there’s […]

21-year-old rookie Walker Kessler has been making quite a name for himself with the Utah Jazz in his first season in the NBA. Well, the No. 22 overall pick of the 2022 Draft is about to become somewhat of a household name after being put on a poster by none other than Zion Williamson. Unfortunately […]

Zion Williamson has been doing much of the heavy lifting for the New Orleans Pelicans of late, and you have to say that he’s been doing a marvelous job at it. Well, the 22-year-old will need to carry the load for a while longer with the Pelicans now being hit with a concerning injury update […]

The Golden State Warriors didn’t have the best time during their visit to Milwaukee as they fell to the Bucks in a lopsided 128-111 blowout. But one consolation was seeing Klay Thompson chase down some NBA history. The Warriors sharpshooter and other half of the Splash Brothers sank a contested three-pointer just before the halftime […]

The Golden State Warriors were blown out by the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, falling 128-111 at Fiserv Forum in a game still not as close as that lopsided final score suggests. Here are three reactions to Golden State’s ugly loss to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks on the first leg of a road back-to-back. Unacceptable […]

DeMarcus Cousins used to be among the baddest and hottest high school prospects in the nation, but he’s not shy to admit that there was a time when Chandler Parsons embarrassed him with a savage dunk. In a recent appearance on the Outta Pocket episode, DeMarcus Cousins told a story about the time he got served a […]

James Harden hasn’t even been back for too long since his most recent injury spell but already, the Philadelphia 76ers superstar is making history again. On Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings, Harden climbed the NBA’s all-time scoring list after surpassing Sixers icon Charles Barkley on the prestigious tally board. Harden made history right before the […]
