The Golden State Warriors have played uncharacteristically lackluster basketball in their last five games. Aside from their lone win over the Cleveland Cavaliers fueled by the return of Klay Thompson, the Warriors have been beaten handily by their other four opponents. Head coach Steve Kerr, however, remains unbothered by the slump that Stephen Curry and […]

The Milwaukee Bucks made a statement on Thursday night by hammering the Golden State Warriors, 118-99. The score does not even come close to indicate how one-sided the game was. At halftime, the Bucks led the Warriors 77-38. The 39-point difference is the largest halftime deficit Golden State has faced since the franchise moved to […]

Remember that time when Ben Simmons used to play for the Philadelphia 76ers? With the NBA trade deadline fast approaching, the biggest question still revolves around the disgruntled Sixers star.

The return of Kyrie Irving feels like a shot in the arm for the Brooklyn Nets. The trio of Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden is probably the most talented in the NBA and the Nets’ campaign should only get better as the season progresses. While Irving can only suit up in select games on […]

The Memphis Grizzlies continued their torrid stretch Thursday night, as they defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves, 116-108. It was their 11th consecutive victory. The winning streak has them 30-14 now on the season, and only 3.5 games behind the Phoenix Suns for the top spot in the Western Conference. Everyone knows that Ja Morant has been […]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ season just keeps on taking hit after hit this season. Injuries, COVID-19 woes, and ownership drama has plagued this team all year long. After a disappointing first-round exit against the Denver Nuggets, fans wanted this team to bounce back. Instead, they seem to have regressed further. The latest blow to their […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to redefine what a 7-footer is supposed to be able to do with a basketball. The Milwaukee Bucks star’s recent feat puts him in a league of his own with a record untouched for nearly half a century. The Bucks put out a demolition job against the Golden State Warriors on Thursday […]

Giving away Gary Trent Jr. in exchange for Norman Powell was a questionable move for the Portland Trail Blazers, especially for their long-term future. Moreover, the team signed Powell to a five-year, $90 million deal in the offseason. The guards of the Trail Blazers became even more undersized with this trade and their defense has […]

On Thursday, the Atlanta Hawks sent Cam Reddish, Solomon Hill and a 2025 2nd round pick to the New York Knicks in exchange for Kevin Knox and a 2022 first-round pick. The first-round pick initially belonged to the Charlotte Hornets, so it appears to be a mid-round pick at best. The Hornets are playing very […]

Lillard has always been at his […]

It’s no secret that Kyle Lowry and Drake are good friends. Before he was a part of the Miami Heat, the two bonded together as part of the Toronto Raptors organization.

Before John Collins signed a five-year, $125 million in the offseason, it was already reported that Collins was not happy with how Trae Young was running the offense for the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks were struggling during that juncture, but their coaching change in the middle of the season propelled them to a spot in […]

Not many NBA fans are aware that Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler and Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles have a long-standing beef. It started when Butler was still with the Chicago Bulls and he and Ingles got entangled in a screen. They almost came to blows before cooler heads prevailed. Since then, according to a […]

The New York Knicks acquired Cam Reddish from the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday in exchange for a protected first round pick and Kevin Knox. Even better for the Knicks, the first round pick that they gave up was a pick that they had acquired via a trade with Charlotte. The Knicks still have their own […]

Just because Damian Lillard may miss the remainder of the regular season hardly means the Portland Trail Blazers aren’t open for business as the trade deadline fast approaches. The uncertain status of the six-time All-Star in wake of Thursday’s surgery, in fact, could make it even more likely Portland emerges as basketball’s biggest seller leading […]

Golden State Warriors center James Wiseman has yet to take the court this season for his team as he rehabs from meniscus surgery. The Warriors have certainly played things cautiously, as it has been nine months since Wiseman had the surgery and the former second-overall pick still has yet to be cleared for contact. Anthony […]

The Atlanta Hawks traded former first-round pick Cam Reddish to the New York Knicks on Thursday for a 2022 first-round pick (via the Charlotte Hornets) and former lottery pick Kevin Knox II.

He is followed by Bryce Maximus James and Zhuri James, the daughter and baby of the family. Bronny James was born in 2004. He’s currently […]

Myles Turner is one of the hottest commodities on the NBA trade market. The Indiana Pacers’ center has tantalizing shot-blocking skills and can shoot the 3-ball at a respectable clip. The Toronto Raptors would benefit from having the dynamic big man and at 25 years old, he would fit the team’s timeline. But there’s a […]

Damian Lillard finally gave in to what his body had been telling him since the summer, undergoing a procedure on Thursday to address nagging abdominal tendinopathy.

Despite their struggles, the Los Angeles Lakers aren’t expected to make many moves at the 2022 NBA Trade Deadline. However, Rob Pelinka hasn’t shied away from making calls to see what’s out there. While Kendrick Nunn and Talen Horton-Tucker are about the only players on the roster with huge trade value because of their age […]

The Indiana Pacers will be very busy at the trade deadline even if they don’t make any trades. Being as far removed from the playoffs as they are has put them into a position where they may have to sell off pieces and start from scratch. Myles Turner, Caris LeVert, Justin Holiday and several others […]
