The Phoenix Suns entered the 2022-23 season under a lot of pressure. In 2020-21, the Suns got very close to a title but fell to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals. Last season, Phoenix had the best record in the league at 64-18. However, the team suffered a blowout loss to […]

The Los Angeles Lakers might’ve grabbed a much-needed victory on Sunday over the Brooklyn Nets, but they still sit at a putrid 3-10 on the season.

After a hot start to the season, the Toronto Raptors have significantly slowed down in the last few games. The reason: a pesky injury bug that’s been terrorizing the team over the last few games.

The Boston Celtics didn’t pay Grant Williams this summer, and it could come back to haunt them.

Unfortunately, the deal never came to fruition and he […]

The Phoenix Suns need Cam Johnson’s contributions more than ever now.

The Golden State Warriors haven’t found it easy at all to defend the championship they shed blood and tears for. A 122-115 defeat to the Sacramento Kings that knocked the Warriors to 5-8 on the season, keeping them winless (0-7) on the road thus far. And at the heart of the reigning champion’s struggles is […]

Anthony Davis is from Chicago and didn’t grow up caring about the NFL. Yet, early in his NBA career, while a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, he became a die-hard Green Bay Packers fan due to friendships he made. So much so, in fact, that Los Angeles Lakers fans should probably adopt the Cheeseheads […]

In the early season, Antetokounmpo is averaging 31.8 points per game, along with 12.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists. The […]

Joel Embiid was a man, nay demigod among men on Sunday night. The Philadelphia 76ers center tormented the Utah Jazz, who entered the contest tied for the number one seen in the Western Conference. Jazz players weren’t the only ones Embiid showed up, though. With his 59 points in just one night, Joel hilariously outscored […]

PHILADELPHIA – Joel Embiid has had a lot of great games. All the 50-point nights and triple-doubles have nothing on the Philadelphia 76ers superstar’s latest game vs. the Utah Jazz. He led the Sixers to a win almost single-handedly by tallying an astonishing career-high of 59 points to go along with 11 rebounds, eight assists […]

Make no mistake. Jordan Poole definitely isn’t the driving force behind the Golden State Warriors’ ongoing bench struggles. But as Steve Kerr keeps searching for rotational answers behind his team’s “foundational six,” Draymond Green honed in on a nuanced dynamic he believes has contributed to poor early-season play from Golden State’s reserves. Here’s how the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers destroyed Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in their first meeting of the season on Sunday, and it’s thanks in large part to Anthony Davis.

Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors made history on Sunday night against the Sacramento Kings. However, it isn’t exactly the kind of record they would be proud of.

Very few people have ever dominated a professional basketball game the way Joel Embiid just did for the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Philadelphia 76ers have gotten off to an inconsistent start this season, but their record isn’t as bad as it could be because they have Joel Embiid. The Sixers got a big win on Sunday against one of the top teams in the NBA this season in the Utah Jazz and it was Embiid who […]
