First, on Monday, the Hawks […]

As the playoffs fast approach, the Los Angeles Clippers look nothing like the top-tier title contenders they were for a three-month stretch of the regular season after finding their groove with James Harden. Ty Lue’s team is just 9-10 since the All-Star break, sporting a -2.0 net rating over that timeframe that ranks 18th in […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been one of the best offensive weapons in the league this season for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a roll as of late, winning their past five games as they head into their upcoming matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

Kawhi Leonard is one of the more interesting players in the NBA currently. There’s no denying his talent, but his disdain for having to meet with the media and his desire to keep his private life private has made him a mystery in the eyes of NBA fans everywhere.

It is crawfish season in the Gulf South region and the national media is starting to mimic those Mississippi River mudbugs when it comes to their comments on New Orleans Pelicans star Zion Williamson.

As the Portland Trail Blazers play out the string in the 2023-24 NBA season, it’s time to start looking back at how key players performed relative to preseason expectations.

There is no doubt that Terry Rozier was a huge acquisition for the Miami Heat when they traded for him in exchange for Kyle Lowry and a 2027 first-round pick. Besides wanting to join the winning culture of the Heat, there was also another main reason why Miami appealed to him as it dealt with […]

Willie Green and the New Orleans Pelicans (45-28) are still trying to find the best rotations right and get certain lineups locked in before the NBA Playoffs begin.

With Monty Williams signing on as head coach, there was no doubt that a young Detroit Pistons team would definitively get better during the 2023-24 NBA season. But here we are. injuries to Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart (also suspended for three games), among others, have surely stunted the squad’s growth, but even […]

Luka Doncic has recorded jaw-dropping numbers throughout the 2023-24 season. He’s slowly climbed up the NBA MVP rankings over the past few months. The Dallas Mavericks star did not receive nearly enough attention in the conversation early in the season, but that narrative is changing now. In fact, Doncic is second in the rankings according […]

After the Philadelphia 76ers got over the James Harden saga, they were on a fantastic run to finish top three or four in the Eastern Conference.

The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a hard fought 108-107 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, and after a missed foul call on Kelly Oubre Jr. on the last play of the game, he and Nick Nurse quickly tracked down the referees and gave them an earful for their poor decision. Unsurprisingly, the NBA didn’t […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have found themselves in a bit of a rut, as they have gone just 3-7 over their past ten games to lose control of the number two seed in the Eastern Conference.

The Ringer’s Bill Simmons may not have his fastball anymore these days, especially when it comes to his out-of-touch NFL predictions or his homer-rific NBA takes. However, you can’t deny that he is still plugged-in to the NBA world and loves the gossip around the business side of pro basketball. That’s why when Simmons offers […]

Core players are important for NBA teams. They serve as the heart of the roster that will decide how far a team goes in its pursuit of an NBA title. More often than not, it takes plenty of time and effort to develop a core that will someday make the team a legitimate championship contender. […]

The Atlanta Hawks have been having a dreadful 2023-24 campaign, but they still have a chance to make some noise in the play-in tournament and then the NBA playoffs. Even before Trae Young’s serious injury, Atlanta was not considered a serious contender against any of the Eastern Conference powerhouses. With two punctuating victories over the […]

The Boston Celtics suffered two brutal defeats to the Atlanta Hawks on Monday and Thursday, but that doesn’t mean they didn’t learn anything. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla was experimenting in those losses and trying out new things ahead of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. On Monday, the C’s blew a massive 30-point lead and ended […]

The term ‘All-Star whistle’ is around for a reason. NBA referees, for one reason or another, tend to give All-NBA talents more favorable calls than players still running out the years on their rookie contracts. Zion Williamson has been learning this the hard way and has the bruises to prove it. The New Orleans Pelicans […]
