Nikola Jokic has dominated the NBA like no other player we have ever seen. This doesn’t mean that the Denver Nuggets center is far and away the best player but that his style of play is truly one-of-a-kind. With per-game averages of 26.1 points, 13.9 rebounds and 8.1 assists and shooting splits of 57.4 percent […]

At the beginning of the year, Blake Griffin started for the Brooklyn Nets. Now, he isn’t playing at all.

Let’s just say no one was surprised when Portland kept […]

It has been a long time since the Minnesota Timberwolves had a sustained level of success like they are experiencing now. Although they did make the playoffs a few years ago, that team was short-lived. This one, which is built primarily on young payers, could grow into something special. After taking down the Oklahoma City […]

LeBron James had a chance to deliver the Los Angeles Lakers a crucial victory over the (um…) Houston Rockets on the final possession in the fourth quarter. Instead, the man closing in on the NBA’s all-time scoring record who is perhaps more known for his passing dished to the only other active member of his […]

It isn’t fun to be Zach LaVine right now. After spending seven seasons not reaching the playoffs, the Chicago Bulls are projected to make it in the coming months. The thing is, their roster has been besieged by various injuries to their key players, which reduces their effectiveness in the process. And even with DeMar […]

To say that Kyrie Irving’s time with the Brooklyn Nets has been underwhelming is an understatement.

And as the Nets fight […]

LeBron James passed on a massive chance to give the Los Angeles Lakers the win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. Of course veteran broadcaster Skip Bayless saw it as an opportunity to criticize the veteran forward. With the game tied at 120 and just five seconds left on the clock, LeBron attacked the basket […]

If it seems like Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic just can’t seem to beat the New York Knicks when playing at home, that’s because he really hasn’t won against them at American Airlines Center. As StatMuse pointed out, Doncic is 0-4 against the Knicks when the Mavs play at home. In fact, while he has […]

As spectacular a player as Luka Doncic is, he’s far from flawless. The Dallas Mavericks superstar has been known to incessantly complain to game officials when calls don’t go his way. That side of him has reared its ugly head again this season, as Luka Doncic tallied his 14th technical foul of the season in […]

Magic Johnson is no longer the only Los Angeles Lakers legend who is getting frustrated with the current status of the team. After witnessing LeBron James and the Purple and Gold lose to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, James Worthy got brutally honest about the team’s problems.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal is one of the greatest big men to have ever played this game. There’s just no doubt about that. Right now, Sixers superstar Joel Embiid is arguably the top center in today’s NBA as the All-Star big man hopes to reach the same heights Shaq did during his dominant […]

The Charlotte Hornets have now lost two straight after falling to the Boston Celtics, 115-101. To add insult to injury, LaMelo Ball struggled to find his rhythm all game long. The Hornets made it a close game throughout the first half and were only trailing by four to one of the hottest teams in the […]

The Boston Celtics continued their excellent play Wednesday night, defeating the Charlotte Hornets 115-101. It was Boston’s 15th win in their last 17 games. Meanwhile, the Hornets are headed the opposite direction, having lost 15 of their last 19 games. But this game was particularly special for a different reason. Hornets point guard Isaiah Thomas […]

Cade Cunningham made Detroit Pistons history on Wednesday with his fifth-straight 20-point game, a feat achieved by only Grant Hill and a couple of others. The Pistons lost to the Chicago Bulls 114-108, but it wasn’t without any positive as Cunningham continues to impress and provide hope for the future of the franchise. The 2021 […]

The Los Angeles Lakers just lost another game on Wednesday and it could not have come in a more disheartening way.

This was a tight contest throughout and unsurprisingly, […]

Right now, the Golden State Warriors have an excellent mix of veteran talent and a handful of young up-and-comers looking to make their mark on the league.

Victor Oladipo logged his second game of the season for the Miami Heat on Wednesday in a 111-90 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan hasn’t been secretive about how much Los Angeles Lakers icon Kobe Bryant impacted his game.

Ben Simmons is making his highly-anticipated return to Philadelphia… sort of. The Brooklyn Nets point forward has yet to suit up for his new club ever since the 76ers traded him away for James Harden. Simmons won’t be playing, but he will be in the arena as he supports his Nets teammate from the bench […]

Tyler Herro has absolutely been balling out for the Miami Heat this season. So much so, that the 22-year-old has run away as the firm favorite for this season’s Sixth Man of the Year award. At this point in his career, it’s almost easy to forget that this young man is just in his third […]

It is clear at this point that Russell Westbrook isn’t enjoying his time in Hollywood. His summer move to the Los Angeles Lakers has backfired — at least from what we’ve seen thus far — and right now, there’s no denying that all the criticism is taking its toll on Russ and his family. Westbrook […]

Tyler Herro is proving his doubters wrong with his brilliant play this 2021-22 season, and while his recent scoring surge with the Miami Heat is getting all the attention, he wants to remind everyone that he’s been doing the same thing since the start of the campaign.
