The Los Angeles Lakers were pitted for a title challenge this season. Unfortunately, it has not gone well. The start has been up-and-down, with LeBron James holding it down with another amazing stretch of basketball. As they have a veteran squad, built for winning now, the Lakers really do not have another option but to […]

LeBron James vs. Stephen Curry has arguably been the marquee NBA rivalry for nearly a decade. Ever since the Golden State Warriors locked horns with the Cleveland Cavaliers all the way back in the 2014-15 season, it was a foregone conclusion that those two would be the league two titans battling it out for years […]

The Portland Trail Blazers are in a poor spot. With a squad that routinely made the postseason last couple of years, they will be fighting hard to reach it this season. Right now, the Blazers are 10th in the West, a full five games out of the secure playoff spot and just one game ahead […]

The scorching hot Memphis Grizzlies, who have just collected nine straight wins, will have a tall task ahead on Tuesday night as the high-flying Golden State Warriors visit the FedExForum. While Ja Morant and Desmond Bane are expected to suit up, another key piece of their rotation recently hurt his ankle. That being said, is […]

Klay Thompson is back – and there’s probably nobody happier to see him return than his Golden State Warriors co-star Stephen Curry. But fuzzy feelings for Klay’s return aside, Stephen Curry still gave his honest thoughts on who the better shooter is. In a recent video with GQ, the Warriors star gave his candid answers […]

The Brooklyn Nets seem like they need a break. At least most of them. Ten dudes at once in health and safety protocols about a month ago, bringing back Kyrie Irving part-time and whatever distraction that sparked, and now James Harden dinging up his knee a little bit are just some of the issues this […]

The red-hot Chicago Bulls begin a three-game homestand on Tuesday night as they host the lowly Detroit Pistons at the United Center. However, Billy Donovan’s squad has been missing a key figure of their rotation since December 20th in Alex Caruso. The former Laker was dealing with a foot injury then entered health and safety […]

The Utah Jazz suddenly find themselves in a three-game losing skid, and it’s not making Donovan Mitchell happy, to say the least. Mitchell finally had enough of the losing Monday night. Following the Jazz’s loss to the Detroit Pistons, who had no business keeping in step with Utah, let alone beat his team to the […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are still trying to trade Ben Simmons, and now there’s an interesting wrinkle to these discussions: they want to include Tobias Harris in these talks, per ESPN’s Marc J. Spears and Brian Windhorst. Spears and Windhorst discussed these Sixers trade scenarios on Windy’s Hoop Collective podcast. Via RealGM: “I’m hearing they want to […]

The Los Angeles Lakers were riding high on their four-game winning streak up until they faced an even hotter Memphis Grizzlies squad. Ja Morant and the Grizz snapped the Lakers’ recent run of success to win their ninth game in a row, the longest active winning streak in the NBA today. The result was an […]

The Brooklyn Nets had a rather unusual set of circumstances for their game in Portland versus the Trailblazers. They played in overtime on Sunday at home where they defeated the San Antonio Spurs 121-119. But then they had to hop a six-hour cross country flight for a back-t0-back in Oregon. Not everyone was able to […]

The Philadelphia 76ers and Houston Rockets faced off for the second over the past week Monday night. While Houston would be on their home floor this time around, they suffered a similar fate. Behind another masterclass from Joel Embiid, the Sixers won by a final score of 111-91. This victory extended their season-long win streak […]

The depleted Portland Trail Blazers pulled off one of the most stunning wins of the regular season on Monday, beating Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets 114-108 at Moda Center for a second straight victory. Playing without starting guards Damian Lillard (abdominal tendinopathy-injury management), C.J. McCollum (right lung pneuomthorax) and Norman Powell (health-and-safety […]

There are certainly great centers in the rich lore of the Los Angeles Lakers. To wit, George Mikan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O’Neal, and of course, LeBron James? LeBron playing center recently has definitely become a focal point of discussion among Lakers fans. It remains to be seen if the experiment is a success […]

The Memphis Grizzlies are currently the hottest team in the NBA with nine straight wins. They have also gone 19-4 since starting the season with a 9-10 mark. The emergence of these young and confident Grizzlies have been one of the best stories of the season so far. Much of the spotlight—and deservingly so—is going […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are on a roll. Joel Embiid and company extended their winning streak to seven games on Monday night after handily beating the Houston Rockets, 111-91. The Sixers now have the second longest winning streak in the NBA behind the nine consecutive Ws of the Memphis Grizzlies. Clearly, Embiid has been the catalyst […]

LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets finished their homestand with a perfect 3-0 record after defeating the Milwaukee Bucks for the second time in two games, 103-99. Playing Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and the Bucks in back-to-back games isn’t fun for anybody, but the Hornets got the job done as a unit. Ball was the […]

The New York Knicks returned home on Monday night and notched a 111-96 win over the San Antonio Spurs. While it seemed like a normal victory, as with most games at Madison Square Garden, it wasn’t without the typical histrionics. Just days after issuing an apology to Knicks fans, star forward Julius Randle got the […]

The Utah Jazz probably entered their game on Monday night thinking it would be a cakewalk against the lowly Detroit Pistons. But of course, the exact opposite happened. The Jazz blew a huge 22-point lead and the Pistons completed the impressive come-from-behind victory, 126-116 to improve to 4-2 in 2022. The Jazz terribly missed center […]

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics took down the Indiana Pacers on Monday, but it wasn’t the most beautiful win. And for head coach Ime Udoka, it only highlights the persistent problems they’ve been facing all season long. While Udoka is satisfied they got the W against a rebuilding Pacers team, he acknowledged that they […]

The Sacramento Kings are one of the more interesting teams in basketball because they certainly have the talent to compete in the Western Conference but have just failed to do so the past few years. They are currently the 12th seed in the Western Conference and sit at 16-26. When looking at the Kings roster, […]

The Brooklyn Nets have the second game of a back-to-back on the road to take on the Portland Trailblazers who are still missing Damian Lillard due to an abdominal injury.

The New York Knicks are going to have some tough decisions to make in the 2022 season. With their current roster, they are clearly not ready to compete for an NBA title and when you are a team like the Knicks, that is never acceptable. If the Knicks are going to find any success through […]

Klay Thompson’s ACL injury in the 2019 NBA Finals started what turned out to be a two-year journey to return to the NBA. And if some have forgotten, then-Toronto Raptors sharpshooter Danny Green had a role in the injury of the Golden State Warriors star. To recall, Green was the one who tried to block […]

The Indiana Pacers are going to have some interesting decisions to make during the 2022 season because they have certainly not played to expectations. They have some of the most talent in basketball including a few players who are potential all-star-caliber guys. They just don’t seem interested in being with the Pacers anymore and that’s […]

The Brooklyn Nets are going to be in an interesting position for the rest of the year just like they have been since the start of the season. They just got Kyrie Irving back but he is only going to be a player that plays for away games and only be a part-time player. This […]

The Portland Trail Blazers are going to have some interesting decisions to make at the NBA trade deadline because they aren’t necessarily a team that can compete for an NBA title at the moment but they are only a few moves away. What’s particularly interesting about Portland is that they can decide to go in […]

The former No. 1 pick […]

The Golden State Warriors have raced out of the gate to a 30-9 record, tied for the best mark in the NBA. The ultimate goal for the Warriors is the same one that it’s been since owner Joe Lacob bought the team: win a championship. Key to those championship hopes is star guard Stephen Curry, […]

The Milwaukee Bucks captured an NBA championship in 2021. It was not an easy task, but the Bucks pulled the right strings to make it happen over time, from drafting Giannis Antetokounmpo to finding a way to get Khris Middleton to swinging a trade for Jrue Holiday. The Bucks made perfect moves as a small-market […]

Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors made his return on Sunday night and it was one of the best moments in NBA history. It was a long-awaited return as Klay has not played in two seasons.
