The Clippers diced the […]

Dallas is looking to bounce back on Monday night against Atlanta, but injuries will be a concern. Luka Doncic is still battling a right wrist […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves’ current status is anything but uplifting. Problems just compound one another. From overall defensive struggles, to certain players experiencing slumps, to the Rudy Gobert-Julius Randle moment that caused Anthony Edwards to lash out at his center, the team hasn’t had the most ideal start to the season. Last year, they already had […]

The Sacramento Kings lost a tough one to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday, 108-103, as coach Jordi Fernandez led the surprisingly good Nets, where he served as Associate Head Coach with Mike Brown for two seasons. Moreover, Fernandez had his team ready to go against his former team, shooting 13-20 from three in the first […]

MIAMI – In the Miami Heat’s huge win over the Dallas Mavericks Sunday night in overtime, 123-118, it was another great performance from their main star Jimmy Butler. The Heat forward was excellent against the Philadelphia 76ers and carried that performance from last Monday into a week later as he spoke about one aspect he […]

The New Orleans Pelicans have been bombarded with bad news all season but Willie Green has kept injecting fight into the shorthanded rotations. Amid fan rumblings about losing streaks and ridiculously long injury reports, tenured veterans Brandon Ingram (Excel) and Zion Williamson (CAA) wanted blank slates that went beyond the Big Easy’s borders. However, it […]

The Boston Celtics defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday, 107-105, as the Wolves failed to complete their furious fourth-quarter rally after the returning Naz Reid clanked a potential game-winning three. Both Celtics stars Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for 55 points, while Anthony Edwards put up 28 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists. Likewise, […]

BOSTON — Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown grew up just 30 minutes away from Minnesota Timberwolves franchise cornerstone Anthony Edwards. The two Georgia natives reunited in Beantown on Sunday afternoon and were up close and personal for the last possession of Boston’s 107-105 win. With Minnesota down two points with just 7.1 seconds remaining, it […]

There is very little to complain about when the subject is the Boston Celtics. The defending NBA champions came into their own last spring when they defeated the Dallas Mavericks and won the 18th league title in their history. They have answered all questions that came up when they fell in the 2022 NBA Finals […]

MIAMI – The Miami Heat beat the Dallas Mavericks on an exciting Sunday night in overtime, 123-118, as they now have won two straight games. The Heat’s last win was last Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers, where they were itching to get back on the floor after a week-long break. It was another marvelous game […]

The Philadelphia 76ers (3-13) sought their first consecutive wins of the season as they welcomed the Los Angeles Clippers (11-7) to town. After their first win in regulation on Friday, the Sixers got boatraced. The final score: 125-99. Joel Embiid and Paul George remained inactive, leaving the hopes of Philly fans on Tyrese Maxey and […]

When the Cleveland Cavaliers named Kenny Atkinson as the team’s next head coach, there was one focus in mind: offense. With Atkinson at the helm, Cleveland is expected to be more dynamic on offense, based on a predicated motion-based offense. He wants the Cavs to play with pace and make three-pointers while moving the ball […]

Mark Cuban is no longer the majority owner of Dallas Mavericks, and that apparently means no more special treatment by the NBA. After nearly 24 years of owning the Mavericks, Cuban sold his controlling interest in the franchise to Las Vegas Sands owners Miriam Adelson and Patrick Dumont in late 2023. While Cuban said at […]

The New Orleans Pelicans showed a positive, fighting spirit in a recent four-point NBA Cup loss to the Golden State Warriors (November 22). It was Stephen Curry’s crew that last saw the Pelicans at anywhere near full strength. CJ McCollum (right adductor strain) took a knock requiring almost a month of recovery treatment and Dejounte […]

On Saturday, it was revealed that New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson was leaving his agency, Creative Artists Agency. Less than 24 hours later, Williamson’s teammate Brandon Ingram announced he was leaving his agency, Excel Sports, per Will Guillory and Kelly Iko of The Athletic. The reason for Williamson’s departure was revealed to be his […]

MIAMI – It was an easy decision to make when the Miami Heat signed back Haywood Highsmith this past offseason, as he plays a vital role for the team led by head coach Erik Spoelstra. With all the injuries to the Heat this season and even last year, Highsmith has shown time and time again […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves have had a rough start to the 2024-25 NBA season, currently sitting at 8-7 heading into Sunday afternoon’s road matchup with the Boston Celtics. Newly acquired pieces Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo have put up some stats but still don’t seem quite comfortable in their new threads after being traded from the […]

Russell Westbrook’s stint with the Los Angeles Lakers was less than ideal, to say the least. And while Westbrook is nearly two years removed from donning the purple and gold, the former MVP let the Lakers fans have it during the Denver Nuggets’ 127-102 win last night. Amid a dominant second half during which Denver […]

The New York Knicks’ 2023-24 season was a successful one. Granted, injuries held New York back from reaching their full potential; however, they still advanced to within one win from the Eastern Conference Finals. That’s quite the accomplishment for a team that had only advanced beyond the first round of the playoffs in two of […]

The Portland Trail Blazers seemed to still be in the middle of rebuilding their team, but they have some good, young talent on the team that is developing well. The center position is one area where they have a lot of talent, and with the rise of Donovan Clingan, the other two centers – Deandre […]

The San Antonio Spurs famously – perhaps infamously – cautious approach to player injuries has carried over to superstar Victor Wembanyama. For the better part of a Rookie of the Year season, the franchise capped the number of minutes he’d play per game. Oftentimes, coach Gregg Popovich didn’t allow Wemby to suit up on the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are off to a 16-1 start to the season, and what they did during the offseason may have led to this. One of the moves they made was re-signing Donovan Mitchell, as there were rumors that he may not have signed the extension. If that was the case, the Houston Rockers were […]

Despite the many NBA trade rumors to the contrary, the Houston Rockets just aren’t that into Kevin Durant. Phoenix Suns owner Matt Ishbia discussed in an ESPN interview that he expects Durant to sign a contract extension with the team this offseason. Over the summer, it was reported that the Rockets were determined to trade […]

Tony Allen has not played in the NBA in over six years but still recalls the feeling he had whenever he would beat Doc Rivers. Known for his seven-year run with the Memphis Grizzlies, Allen started his career with the Boston Celtics, where he felt he was disrespected at the end of his time with […]

Unless you have been living under a rock, you should know that Charles Barkley is not afraid to speak his mind. And that includes talking poorly of his own employer, which has become more of a frequent occasion amid the uncertainty around the ‘Inside the NBA’ program. Barkley has been on ‘Inside’ for nearly 25 […]

The Philadelphia 76ers are off to a horrible 3-12 start this season, with both Paul George and Joel Embiid barely playing so far due to injuries. Because of their absences, others have had to step up, especially rookie Jared McCain and budding star Tyrese Maxey. While Maxey’s play is already expected given how well he […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a rough last couple of home games, first dropping a heartbreaker to the Orlando Magic courtesy of a Franz Wagner game winner and then getting blown out by the Denver Nuggets on Saturday evening despite having the rest advantage. The losses dropped Los Angeles’ record to 10-6 on the […]

No one has played more games than the Cleveland Cavaliers this season, sitting at 16-1 heading into a home matchup with the Toronto Raptors. Although the Cavs have been dominant to start the season, starting the year 15-0, fatigue eventually caught up to them. Playing 17 games in 28 days made Cleveland look lackadaisical on […]

While the Boston Celtics’ dominant play continues on the basketball court, another storyline hanging over this season is the impending sale of the franchise, which was revealed by owner Wyc Grousbeck this past summer following the team’s championship victory. While Grousbeck is reportedly looking to keep some sort of role within the franchise, he and […]
