The Chicago Bulls are on their way to the playoffs, thanks to the Orlando Magic’s win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Tuesday night. However, Chicago still has three regular-season games left, and they’re looking pretty beat up. This is the worst time for any team to suffer multiple, key injuries, especially a team that hasn’t seen […]

The Chicago Bulls will be going to the playoff this season but they will be missing a key player for the duration of their postseason stay. Lonzo Ball has been absent for months after undergoing meniscus surgery. It seemed only like a matter of when, not if, he would be shut down for the season. […]

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Davion Mitchell and the Sacramento Kings went to battle against the New Orleans Pelicans inside the Golden 1 Center on Tuesday night. The visiting team walked away with a 123-109 victory that eliminated the Kings from playoff contention. It’s Sacramento’s 16th straight time missing the postseason. However, the loss did have a silver lining, […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James recently faced harsh criticism from franchise legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for certain actions this season that he believes are “beneath” The King, which has caused some controversy.

Three years ago, the New Orleans Pelicans finished the regular season without a chance at the postseason tournament. To make the brutal season worse, star Anthony Davis requested a trade and was on his way out the door. After the team’s final game in 2019, Davis wore a shirt that read ‘That’s All Folks!’ referencing […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has carved out a legendary career and is undoubtedly in the GOAT conversation as he wraps up his 19th NBA season. He has also racked up countless awards and has dominated the competition from an individual standpoint even up to this day. At the age of 37, the Ohio […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ disappointing season is nearing its end, with the team already out of play-in contention after Tuesday night’s loss to the Phoenix Suns. Frankly, the Lakers didn’t exactly deserve a shot at being in the playoffs after such a distraught campaign, with the Russell Westbrook experiment proving to be a huge failure. […]

The Sacramento Kings kept their promise to acquire a star in hopes of reaching the playoffs. Unfortunately for them, the addition of Domantas Sabonis wasn’t enough to get them into the postseason. Their playoff drought has now extended to the historic length of 16 years. The Kings’ front office has now put themselves in a […]

The Utah Jazz had lost six of their last seven games before the team’s huge overtime win over the Golden State Warriors Tuesday night. The slump seems to be over, but what changed? On Monday, two days after the loss to the Warriors and one day before they took on the Grizzlies, the Jazz held […]

Grayson Allen of the Milwaukee Bucks has become one of the most hated players in Chicago after he injured Alex Caruso on a flagrant foul earlier this season. He is consistently boo’d when he plays against the Bulls and Chicago players don’t seem to be all that fond of him either. That was apparent when […]

The Brooklyn Nets took care of business vs. the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. They now sit in 8th place and control their destiny. If Brooklyn win their next three games, they’ll lock up the 7th seed. That means your 2022 Nets would host a Play-In game, win and you’re in the playoffs, as a 7th […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ 2021-22 failure became complete on Tuesday night thanks to their loss to the Phoenix Suns and the San Antonio Spurs’ impressive win over the Denver Nuggets.

The Charlotte Hornets lost their second straight game, but this time at the hands of the Miami Heat 144-115. The Hornets dropped down from the ninth spot and down to the tenth, since the Brooklyn Nets won their game on Tuesday night. Charlotte did well to hang with the number one seed in the East […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have flopped on the hardwood and on the small screen in 2022. While the real Lakers wrap up a season that will see them miss the postseason, HBO’s show “Winning Time” is drawing harsh criticism. Ever since its controversial portrayal of Jerry West, the program has been maligned by several of […]

The Brooklyn Nets didn’t have their prettiest or most dominant win of the season against the Houston Rockets. That one was actually back on Jan. 12 when the old big three of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving thrashed DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls. It was a few months ago, but […]

It was supposed to be the Lakers. At the beginning of the season, LeBron James and LA were projected to go all the way to the Finals and match up with the Brooklyn Nets. That’s what most odds predicted anyway. Chris Paul and the Suns were going to be good, but people believed the Lakers […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were mathematically and mercifully eliminated from playoff contention on Tuesday after falling 121-110 to the Phoenix Suns (without LeBron James), not long after the San Antonio Spurs destroyed the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers (31-48) have lost seven straight games and 17 of 21 since the All-Star break. Their weird, awkward, and […]

Heading into this season, a common question facing the Los Angeles Lakers was: Would Russell Westbrook’s performance in the playoffs help or hurt his team’s chances of winning an 18th NBA championship? Moot. After the Lakers’ 121-110 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday officially eliminated them from playoff contention with three games to go, […]

Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns made some franchise history on Tuesday night. The added bonus is that it came against the Los Angeles Lakers. With the 121-110 win, the Suns have now notched their 63rd win of the season, the most in franchise history. That eclipses the previous mark from the 1992-93 NBA season […]

The Phoenix Suns just took down the Los Angeles Lakers in sensational fashion on Tuesday night with a 121-110 win. It wasn’t just any victory for the Suns, though, as it was their 63rd win of what has been a historic campaign for them. Tuesday’s victory allowed Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and the rest of […]

Jalen Green kept his late-season surge going on Tuesday night with another strong performance for the Houston Rockets. The rookie dropped another 30-piece en route to joining Sixers legend Allen Iverson in the NBA record books. Following Tuesday’s 30-point outing, Green is now just the second rookie in league history to score at least 30 […]

The worst case scenario for the Los Angeles Lakers has officially come to life. With their latest 1XX-1XX defeat at the hands of the Phoenix Suns, LA is now eliminated from play-in tournament contention. NBA Twitter observers came out in droves to react to LeBron James and Co. getting trounced much earlier than anyone imagined. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ season officially came to an end on Tuesday night after they suffered a disheartening 121-110 loss to the Phoenix Suns. This was a long time coming for a hapless LeBron James-less Lakers side but it did not make the moment any easier for LA fans everywhere. To add insult to injury, […]

Despite losing to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, the Chicago Bulls still have something to cheer for after DeMar DeRozan had another big game. DeRozan did his best to lead the Bulls to the win, albeit to no avail. However, he can still hold his head high as he gave the home fans a treat […]

Every season in the NBA, there are a handful of teams that are a big surprise, enjoying unexpected success. Conversely, there are always some teams that are massive disappointments. It obviously goes without saying that the Los Angeles Lakers‘ season would fall into the latter. They are of course less than two years removed from […]

The Brooklyn Nets will take any victory at this point to improve their position in the play-in tournament. On Tuesday night, they bucked a relatively slow start, punctuated by a silly scramble, to score a 118-105 win over the Houston Rockets. The Nets almost saw their 21-point lead evaporate in the fourth quarter after the […]

Joel Embiid came up with another monstrous performance on Tuesday night as he led the Sixers to a 131-122 win against the Indiana Pacers. The five-time All-Star exploded for 45 points en route to surpassing Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James in the race for this year’s scoring title. After Tuesday’s eruption, Embiid is now […]

Part of the Golden State Warriors’ success comes from the bond shared between stars Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. After practice Tuesday morning, Thompson had some high praises for his teammate and friend Green. “Draymond is one of the greatest steals in NBA history and someone who will be immortalized through this franchise,” […]

The writing appears to be on the wall for Frank Vogel as the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. That leaves one rather polarizing coaching vacancy to be filled in the offseason. One name in particular that’s been mentioned for the LA job is Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder. According to reports from Bleacher […]

It’s been a rather tumultuous past 10 months for Dennis Schroder but it seems as though the 28-year-old has found a home with the Houston Rockets following his mid-season move from the Boston Celtics. Schroder is currently on an expiring deal, however, and it remains to be seen if the Rockets intend to offer him […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have been all sorts of dangerous since acquiring James Harden from the Brooklyn Nets in a trade centered around Ben Simmons. Harden has been a perfect fit alongside Joel Embiid, as the Sixers continue their ascent heading into the NBA Playoffs. The Sixers beat the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night, 131-122 to […]

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd believes Luka Doncic deserves to be MVP. The Mavs star has the numbers to back it up anyway. However, he has a rather interesting theory why the media people are likely not to vote for him. Speaking with Dwain Price of Mavs.com, Kidd made the case for Luka as […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are on the brink of being eliminated from playoff contention. That’s quite the fall from grace as Los Angeles is less than two years removed from winning an NBA Championship. It is also likely to become the first season in the future Hall of Fame career of LeBron James where he […]

Here’s a suggestion: Just give the Sixth Man of the Year trophy to Tyler Herro already. The high-scoring guard had another stellar performance off the bench on Tuesday night, leading the Miami Heat to a 144-115 drubbing of the Charlotte Hornets. Herro scored a career-high 35 points in 34 minutes. He shot an efficient 11-of-18 […]
