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 […]

Tyler Herro has been balling out for the Miami Heat this season.

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.

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.

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.
