The Golden State Warriors heavily depend on the scoring from their superstar point guard Stephen Curry. On Friday against the Chicago Bulls that wasn’t the case.

With just under a month to go until the NBA trade deadline, the rumor mill is starting to heat up. Surprising to few, Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons remains to be one of the main names popping up in reports. The former no. 1 pick has yet to suit up for the Sixers as […]

You know how they say that abuse trickles down? That sort of feels like what Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors were going for on Friday night. The Warriors, fresh off getting manhandled by the Milwaukee Bucks in their last game, dealt the same punishment to their next opponent in the Chicago Bulls. Golden […]

To say that Luka Doncic has been tremendous for the Dallas Mavericks is an understatement. The much-hyped Slovenian prospect has lived up to the expectations for him and then some. Billed as the successor to Dirk Nowitizki, Doncic has led the team to multiple playoff appearances with his tantalizing performances on the court. Need proof […]

Zach LaVine won’t be joining DeMar DeRozan and the Chicago Bulls in their upcoming road trip, but hopes are high he has avoided a serious knee injury.

When interim head coach David Fizdale decided to start LeBron James at center, DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard have not been consistently part of the rotation anymore.

Tyler Herro has been balling out for the Miami Heat this season. He’s been an absolute revelation for this side and his strong play has propelled him as the frontrunner for this term’s Sixth Man of the Year. One of the reasons behind Herro’s strong play stems from the fact that he currently has just […]

Kevin Knox has been rather underwhelming in his NBA career. Unlike some of his 2018 draftmates, the 9th overall pick failed to find any semblance of form with the New York Knicks. It’s gotten to the point where prior to the Cam Reddish trade that brought him to the Hawks, Knox has relegated to the […]

It was a fun, fast-paced […]

At this point, it’s almost comical. The Toronto Raptors have now lost five-straight games to the Detroit Pistons, dating back to the 2020-21 season. And yet, the Pistons haven’t been a particularly threatening team during that span, having gone 16-61 against every other club in the league. Pistons head coach Dwane Casey himself now has an […]

The Boston Celtics’ 2021 – 22 campaign has been a serious case of Jekyll and Hyde syndrome. Much has been made about the team’s inconsistency this season, and for good reason.

The Charlotte Hornets may have lost against the Orlando Magic, but LaMelo Ball earned a new admirer in Jamal Crawford for his flashy performance in Friday’s game.

Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker made NBA headlines on Tuesday night after he hilariously complained about the Toronto Raptors’ mascot for distracting him at the free-throw line, despite being literally the only spectator in the stands because there are no fans allowed in Ontario right now. Well, now the Indiana Pacers and their mascot followed […]

LaMelo Ball came out to play on Friday night as the Charlotte Hornets hosted the Orlando Magic.

With the looming possibility of his time coming to an end with the Sacramento Kings, Tristan Thompson may find himself on a new team in the coming weeks.
