The Boston Celtics took a brutal loss to the Detroit Pistons 117-97, as they are now on an eight-game winning streak. The Celtics did not play like the team they’ve been all season, and they were caught slipping multiple times. Speaking of slipping, Ausar Thompson had Jayson Tatum doing that during the game, and it […]

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James seems to have plenty of drama with Doug Gottlieb. The latter even went as far as to call him a “petty troll.” CBS Sports’ reporter Kyle Boone published an exclusive on the radio host and Green Bay head coach. Gottlieb is in his first year leading the program, which […]

Tim Duncan has to be one of the most underappreciated legends ever. He has a winning record against every team in the NBA and managed to play 19 seasons in the league all with one franchise. And he did so while averaging 73 games played a season (so much for being the team that started […]

LeBron James did the Los Angeles Lakers a favor last offseason and signed for less than what he could have in hopes of helping them get extra talent. Though he was generous that time, it doesn’t look like he’ll be doing it this time around, according to The Athletic’s Jovan Buha. “I will make the […]

The New York Knicks made plenty of noise prior to the 2024-25 season when they caught a big fish in Karl-Anthony Towns. His addition has been pivotal in New York’s success this year, as they sit in the third seed in the Eastern Conference with a 38-20 record. Although the Knicks are a formidable team, […]

It’s one thing to talk about developing young players, but seeing the work come to fruition gives the Washington Wizards hope. Second-year guard Bilal Coulibaly has been inconsistent offensively this season, but he added another quality outing to his resume with 16 points (7-9 FG, 0-2 3 PT) and three assists across 35 minutes in […]

Before the 2024-25 season, the Philadelphia 76ers had a relatively successful offseason by luring Paul George to Philly in free agency. However, it looks like the Sixers aren’t getting the same George that flaunted his All-Star form in the previous years. Moreover, an often injured Joel Embiid, followed by the absence of Jared McCain, has […]

Chris Paul is on the last legs of his career, but he remains productive for the San Antonio Spurs. And while the Spurs’ outlook for the rest of the season is grim following the season-ending injury to Victor Wembanyama, Paul is still out there trudging along, even making history during their 118-106 loss to the […]

The Detroit Pistons are emerging as the league’s biggest darling of the 2024-25 season. A feel-good story, there aren’t too many people out there who don’t want to see the Pistons turn things around after suffering through a ghastly 14-win 2023-24 campaign. And they continue on in their ascent atop the Eastern Conference totem pole, […]

There is a tendency for excellent teams to fall asleep at the wheel during the dog days of a six-month regular-season grind. The Oklahoma City Thunder are no exception to this.

Their Wednesday night matchup with the defending champion Boston Celtics finished with the Pistons victorious for the eighth straight game, winning 117-97.

Records are meant to be broken, but some NBA achievements were so far ahead of their time they’ll never be matched.

Even without his 100-point game included, there […]

The Brooklyn Nets, despite punting on the 2024-25 season long ago, continue to punch above their weight, thanks to the team’s resilient attitude and excellent coaching courtesy of Jordi Fernandez.

CHICAGO – The Chicago Bulls have now lost eight out of their last 10 games as they fell at home on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. The thing is; the Bulls haven’t looked all that bad in a lot of these losses. They were in it until the very end against the Clippers, […]

When it comes to the NBA’s All-Time scoring list, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is the far and away leader with over 40,000 career points. He’s the only NBA player to reach that mark, and is a surefire Hall of Famer when he retires. But there are other prolific scoring threats still currently in […]

The Boston Celtics may have been without Jaylen Brown for their Wednesday night contest against the surging Detroit Pistons, but they still had all the tools at their disposal to be the team that puts an end to Detroit’s nirvana.

The Philadelphia 76ers entered the 2024-25 season with such high expectations; after all, they brought in one of the best stars in a supporting role in Paul George via free agency, essentially replacing Tobias Harris who didn’t cover himself in glory in his final game for the team during the 2024 NBA playoffs. But things […]

Denver Nuggets superstar center Nikola Jokic is known for his insane passing ability. His highlight reel includes many near-full-court heaves to teammates, as well as no-look passes.

After connecting on 49.2% on 1.6 attempts from deep, it’s no coincidence Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Aaron Wiggins took on an increased role from head coach Mark Daigneault this season. After Sunday’s win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, where Thunder’s Daigneault implemented a small-ball approach, Wiggins was a significant part. He’s continued to gain traction […]

The Los Angeles Lakers look a whole lot different than they did a month ago after trading Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic. Doncic got off to a slow start with the Lakers after returning from a calf injury, but over the last two games he looks like he’s starting to round […]
