As we arrive at the New Year and LeBron James’ 37th birthday, the Los Angeles Lakers (17-19) still have a lengthy list of problems. A lack of chemistry. Anthony Davis’ injury. Players and coaches in protocols. Porous free throw shooting. Lineup instability. Inconsistent effort and 3-point shooting. Subpar rebounding. And so on… After the Lakers‘ […]

It seemed like the New York Knicks were on their way to another disastrous defeat, but the bench stepped up in the second half to beat the Detroit Pistons, 94-85 on Wednesday night.

The Boston Celtics’ nosedive continues – and Jaylen Brown is not at all pleased.

But the Clippers themselves didn’t have their own best player in […]

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown might want to recall what he had for breakfast on Thursday. So he won’t eat it ever again. The Celtics suffered an ugly loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, 91-82 to drop to 16-19 on the season. But perhaps what’s uglier was Brown’s shooting woes. While he scored a game-high […]

Another day, another milestone for Ja Morant. The Memphis Grizzlies escaped the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night with a grind-it-out win, 104-99.

Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns has surpassed the 10,000 point mark and becomes the seventh youngest player in NBA history to reach the milestone. He is one of the best guards in all of the NBA and there is certainly a point to make that he is the best guard in the NBA. The […]

New York Knicks star Julius Randle is looking nowhere near his dominant self from last season, and that was made apparent once again on Wednesday against the Detroit Pistons.

The Charlotte Hornets are having an interesting year that sees them currently sitting at 18-17 on the season and in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

Chicago Bulls All-Star shooting guard Zach LaVine got off to a somewhat sluggish start to the 2021-22 campaign, at least relative to his scorching-hot start to a 2020-21 season that was ultimately derailed by COVID-19.

I can’t imagine a stretch of time that can perfectly encapsulate the Russell Westbrook experience more so than the past four days — from Christmas Day through the Los Angeles Lakers win over the Houston Rockets on Tuesday.
