The Golden State Warriors have officially waived guard Langston Galloway, the team announced Saturday.

Unfortunately while Galloway showed some improvements through three preseason […]

Kristaps Porzingis seems to be happy playing for the Dallas Mavericks now, and fans might have new head coach Jason Kidd to thank for that. Based on what he has shown so far in two preseason games, the Latvian big man is clearly feeling healthy once again. He is also thriving under Kidd, as he […]

LeBron James finally made his preseason debut for the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday against Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.

According to the […]

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday. Sure enough, the situation raised concerns on whether he’ll be ready for the start of their season on October 20th. Fortunately, Celtics head coach Ime Udoka quickly erased the worries of the fans and confirmed that Brown is well on track to return before […]

Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry rarely misses his free throws, so when he did during Friday’s preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James couldn’t help but ask for more. Late in the second quarter when he went to the charity stripe, Curry shockingly missed his first attempt from the line. As the […]

Let’s not beat around the bush. The Los Angeles Lakers have been horrendous in the offseason. Not even LeBron James and Russell Westbrook making their respective debuts on Friday were able to help the hapless Lakers as they fell to 0-3 in the preseason. Despite the awful start to the campaign, LeBron has been able […]

Even though the Philadelphia Sixers are returning most of their roster from last season, things are going to look very different — not in their lineup and rotations, but in their style of play.

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd sees big things coming for his Euro duo of Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. In fact, he went as far as to saying that KP will not only have a bounce-back year but also make the All-Star team in 2021-22. When it was pointed out to Kidd that this […]

With some days in between preseason games, the Philadelphia 76ers decided to bring back an old event to generate excitement for the upcoming regular season.

The Oklahoma City Thunder will not be great this season and it seems like they have accepted that. The Thunder have a plethora of picks, young players, and potential scenarios for the future.

Barely three minutes had elapsed since tipoff of the Portland Trail Blazers preseason opener, and Jusuf Nurkic already found himself standing alone beyond the arc. He readied his hands, took a pass from C.J. McCollum and let fly from the right wing with zero hesitation as Kevon Looney offered a half-hearted close-out. Clank. Nurkic went […]

The Philadelphia 76ers find themselves in a bit of a predicament with Ben Simmons continuing to hold out. He is refusing to ever play for the Sixers organization again, which means they must explore other options at point guard right now. Tyrese Maxey and Shake Milton look to be the top two candidates to replace […]

Jerry West has long been getting praise for helping the Los Angeles Lakers identify Kobe Bryant as the superstar talent that he was. But according to the logo himself, the move was basically handed to him on a silver platter. The Lakers legend was the latest guest on Getcha Popcorn Ready with T.O. & Hatch, […]

Russell Westbrook had a stinker of a preseason debut for the Los Angeles Lakers, but there’s obviously no reason to panic. Both Westbrook and LeBron James were vocal that the Lakers’ struggles in preseason mean next to nothing and will be easily overcome as they get more time to mesh together. Lakers coach Frank Vogel […]

The Indiana Pacers will be looking to come back into the playoffs this season. After a fruitful decade with only one missed postseason, the Pacers had a down year.

Stephen Curry is still in the process of getting back to business. The 2-time MVP was looking clearly gassed as he spoke to the press after the Golden State Warriors’ preseason win over the Los Angeles Lakers. With sweat still dripping from his face, the Warriors star hilariously admitted he was feeling rather ‘lazy’ as […]

San Francisco, CA – The Golden State Warriors are still without All-Star shooting guard Klay Thompson. Stephen Curry has played without his fellow Splash Brother since the 2019 NBA Finals. Curry doesn’t have Thompson back but has found his new backup Splash Brother. It’s the third-year guard Jordan Poole. In three preseason games, Poole is […]

The Chicago Bulls have looked every bit the part of an Eastern Conference contender through two preseason games. Granted the games don’t officially count just yet, but blowing out your first two opponents by 36 apiece is probably a good early sign. Lonzo Ball has been a huge part of their on-court success thus far. […]

The 2021-22 NBA season has yet to start but the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2021-22 are already dealing with controversy after ex-general manager Gersson Rosas was fired from his post just days before the start of training camp.

Lowry spoke effusively about what he’s seen from the Heat’s incoming third-year guard, via Miami Herald’s Anthony Chiang. “Tyler is the […]

San Francisco, CA – Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors have tried many lineups in their three preseason games. However, there is one he seems rather fond of when closing quarters. It’s the combination of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Jordan Poole, Otto Porter Jr, and Nemanja Bjelica. “Well, Draymond is the five, and we […]

The Milwaukee Bucks ended last season with a championship. It was the first championship since the 1970s for the franchise. Now, they are entering this season ready to defend their title. In the preseason, they played two games. Firstly, they lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, 87-77. After that, in a rematch of the Eastern Conference […]

The Golden State Warriors may have a handful of young players on their roster, but they’re clearly in win-now mode. That makes the balancing act of trying to develop and integrate rookies, like Moses Moody and Jonathan Kuminga, that much more tricky. Jordan Poole, entering just his third season with the Warriors, knows the transition […]

The Brooklyn Nets are seen by many as the favorites to win the title, but the latest Kyrie Irving drama has been hurting their championship shine before the season begins. However, New York Knicks icon Charles Oakley thinks he might not even matter. The legendary defender voiced out exactly that to TMZ as he shared […]

Prior to the season, it was pretty easy to predict how the Houston Rockets’ rotation would look like. Houston had drafted four rookies, but because they had at least eight active players on the roster over the age of 24, it was likely only two of those rookies would play regular minutes. Rockets head coach […]

It’s a safe bet that Luka Doncic is sick of the Los Angeles Clippers. The Dallas Mavericks star has been knocked out of the first round in back-to-back seasons by said Clippers, which is enough to get anyone steamed. That’s why even in a preseason, Doncic managed to get quite heated at Clippers guard Terance […]

It’s only preseason, but the Los Angeles Lakers didn’t exactly have the ideal debut for their new dynamic duo of LeBron James and Russell Westbrook. The Lakers fell to Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors 114-121 in a game that saw the purple and gold trail by as many as 22 points. Russell Westbrook […]

Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns is easily one of the best centers in the NBA.
