The Dallas Mavericks trading Kristpas Porzingis at the trade deadline for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans seemed more like a move to open up cap space than anything.

With a little more than 10 games remaining in the regular season, it’s pretty clear now who performed beyond expectations in the NBA and those who didn’t.

The LA Clippers have pulled off a fantastic season thus far. Without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for most of the season, the team has had to rely on Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris to lead them. The two have remained level-headed and been fantastic leaders these last few months, but frustrations seem to have […]

The Golden State Warriors losing to the Boston Celtics by a score of 110-88 was hardly the biggest takeaway from the game. A wild second-quarter sequence from Marcus Smart is what this game will be remembered by. After diving for a loose ball, removing Stephen Curry from the game due to foot soreness in the […]

This stuff never stops coming up. The question about how would some players today fare in the 1990’s, or if guys now are soft. Just a few weeks ago, New York Knicks legend Charles Oakley made the hilarious, bonkers claim that Giannis Antetokounmpo wouldn’t even start in his era. I guess Oak felt more comfortable with Charles […]

Admit it, there’s a Patrick Beverley in all of us. The Minnesota Timberwolves has never shied away from expressing himself, controversy be damned. Especially when it involves Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook. After the Timberwolves embarrassed the Lakers on Tuesday night, Westbrook was asked by reporters about all the smack-talking, usually initiated by Beverley, […]

The stars were out in this one. The Brooklyn Nets hosted the Dallas Mavericks, and while Kyrie Irving wasn’t eligible to play, Kevin Durant and Luka Doncic certainly were. Durant and Irving, of course, have been balling out of their minds. Kyrie dropped 50 versus the Hornets, then KD puts up 53 on the Knicks–then […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves wanted all the smoke in their contest against the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night.

Karl-Anthony Towns had a rather […]

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner remains out of commission due to a left foot injury. He hasn’t played since January. These days, he’s focused on getting back to being 100% healthy.

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr understands basketball is a physical sport, but he definitely thinks what Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart did to Stephen Curry was reckless and, well, not so smart. Kerr made sure to let Smart know that as he confronted him after his play that injured Curry. Midway through the […]

The Golden State Warriors are in a dog fight with the Boston Celtics Wednesday night. Midway through the second quarter with the Warriors trailing 33-25, Stephen Curry and Marcus Smart were going after a loose ball.

Steve Ballmer is known as the affable, if not overly-excitable owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. But once upon a time he was nearly the owner of another team. The Microsoft billionaire revealed that he was keen on purchasing a different team, the Detroit Pistons, more than 15 years ago. In a recent appearance on […]

Spencer Dinwiddie delivered another game-winner for the Dallas Mavericks, this time against the Brooklyn Nets, on Wednesday.

Less than 24 hours after the Brooklyn Nets went bonkers over Kyrie Irving’s 60-point explosion, Dallas Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie sent them crashing back to earth on Wednesday night. Dinwiddie buried the game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer to give the Mavericks the 113-111 victory, shutting up the entire Barclays Center (via Bally Sports Southwest). SPENCER […]

Just in case you’re still not aware, Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. is good. On Wednesday night, KPJ made the highlight of the game against the visiting Phoenix Suns. Late in the third quarter,  he forced a turnover on Suns star Devin Booker and raced to their court. With the wide-open lane, Porter could’ve […]

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Patrick Beverley had tons of fun on Wednesday at the expense of LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Patrick Beverley and Russell Westbrook go way back.

LOS ANGELES – Without Kawhi Leonard or Paul George for most of this season, the LA Clippers have been one of this season’s surprising teams.

Kawhi Leonard […]

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo entered the NBA as a frail, wide-eyed rookie from Greece, who was almost entirely clueless about the NBA. His teammates couldn’t even pronounce his name.

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green recently guested Joel Embiid in his podcast and as expected, the pair produced one of the best episodes of the program. These are two of the best trash talkers this game has ever seen and it was only a matter of time before they started going at it on […]

Everyone knows by now that LeBron James tried to recruit DeMar DeRozan to the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency.

Kendrick Perkins has built quite a reputation as a broadcaster over the past few years.

With 13 games to go before the Play-In tournament, we’re getting down to the wire. However, the Brooklyn Nets’ third All-Star player, Ben Simmons, still has no timetable to join his teammates.

The Denver Nuggets have quietly been playing really well under head coach Michael Malone. While speaking to reporters recently, Malone was asked about similarities that he saw between superstar Nikola Jokic and Kristaps Porzingis.
