The Golden State Warriors have Stephen A. Smith believing again, so much so that he is predicting another championship for Stephen Curry and the Dubs when Klay Thompson returns.

Russell Westbrook hasn’t been playing well for the Los Angeles Lakers, and he has been largely blamed for the team’s shocking 1-2 start to the 2021-22 season. Despite the criticisms and concerns, though, Russ is not hitting that panic button just yet. He doesn’t plan to, anyway. As Westbrook noted, it is still early in […]

If you drafted Kevin Durant on your fantasy squad this season, or you happen to have tickets to a Brooklyn Nets game on the second night of a back-to-back, there’s some potentially exciting news.

Much like every other team in the league, both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors worked out several aspirants before finally rounding out their respective rosters.

Deandre Ayton is disappointed the Phoenix Suns didn’t offer him his desired max contract extension prior to the start of the 2021-22 season, which is why there are talks whether the team plans to trade him or not.

During the third-quarter nadir of the Portland Trail Blazers’ “embarrassing” loss to the LA Clippers, there were a few fleeting moments that made it easy to wonder if everything was alright with Damian Lillard.

Sunday night’s loss for the New York Knicks against the Orlando Magic served as a wake-up call.

The New Orleans Pelicans provided another update to Zion Williamsons‘ injury status on Tuesday, though it didn’t do much to clear up any fogginess about when the All-Star will make his 2021-22 season debut.

We are now about a week into the regular season, and the Philadelphia 76ers have started off the season on a good note.

We’re only four games into the 2021-22 season, but Brooklyn Nets star James Harden is not playing up to the lofty standards the perennial MVP candidate has set for himself over the years. Maybe we should not be surprised. While many of us (understandably) focused on the Kyrie Irving vaccination situation, or the potential max […]

As Kyrie Irving continues to sit out for the Brooklyn Nets while refusing to get vaccinated, he has slowly gained a following in choosing to do so. Add Floyd Mayweather to that list. In a video posted on his Twitter account, Mayweather voiced his support for the superstar guard for the Nets. “Kyrie, what’s up? […]

It took overtime, but the Boston Celtics managed to pull out a 140-129 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.
