The Utah Jazz once again failed to meet their postseason aspirations. Despite not having Luka Doncic for the first three games of the series, the Dallas Mavericks were still able to boot out the Jazz in a convincing fashion. The Jazz have made the NBA Playoffs for the past six seasons but have failed to […]

Damian Lillard’s pointed demands for an improved supporting cast have still yet to be addressed. It has been almost a year since the most loyal superstar in basketball threatened to leave Rip City, and all the Portland Trail Blazers have to show for it is the mere possibility of finally meeting his mandate. CJ McCollum […]

The Detroit Pistons are in the midst of a rebuild that finally looks to be taking shape. Cade Cunningham’s excellent second half of the season is a  reason for confidence in Detroit and after another rough season this year, the Pistons figure to receive one of the top picks in the draft. In order to […]

No team in the NBA was more active at this season’s trade deadline than the Portland Trail Blazers. Even after making multiple deals prioritizing the future over the present, though, interim general manager Joe Cronin apparently still had hopes of bringing in an impact player. According to veteran league scribe Marc Stein, the Trail Blazers […]

One week after finally admitting Damian Lillard’s season was over, the Portland Trail Blazers clarified the status of two other franchise pillars who have been sidelined with nagging injuries. The Blazers announced on Monday that Anfernee Simons (left knee patellar tendinopathy) and Jusuf Nurkic (left foot plantar fasciitis) would miss the remainder of 2021-22. Some […]

Cinderella came early in the NCAA Tournament, as the no. 15 St. Peter’s pulled off a shocking win over no. 2 Kentucky in overtime, 85-79 on Thursday night. It’s definitely one of the biggest upsets in the history of the NCAA Tournament. The unheralded Peacocks, who have a shoestring basketball program, beat the mighty Wildcats, […]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ utmost organizational priority from now until the end of the regular season definitely isn’t winning. You wouldn’t have known it watching Josh Hart and the “baby” Blazers go punch-for-punch with a team that made the Eastern Conference Finals last season, though. Portland fell to the Atlanta Hawks 122-113 on Monday night […]

A beaming Josh Hart didn’t mince words after playing the best basketball of his life. Leading the Portland Trail Blazers to a 127-118 win over the Washington Wizards, breaking a depressingly historic six-game losing streak in the process, was definitely what’s most important. But considering the last points of his career night came with 6:49 […]

With the Portland Trail Blazers badly needed a spark to their season, Josh Hart answered the call, setting a career-high in points with 44.

After witnessing Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson and Portland Trail Blazers wing Josh Hart put up 40-plus points for their respective teams on Saturday, some fans couldn’t believe that the Los Angeles Lakers let them go. While it has been years since the Lakers traded both Clarkson and Hart in their bid to create a […]

The Portland Trail Blazers didn’t just enter Wednesday’s action as losers of five straight, engaging in tank mode no holds barred. Their aggregate deficit dating back to the All-Star break was the largest of all time over any team’s five-game stretch since the league’s inception. Let’s just say no one was surprised when Portland kept […]

The Portland Trail Blazers entered their two-game set with the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center one-and-a-half games back of the final spot in the Western Conference play-in tournament. Portland would be underdogs no matter what with Damian Lillard and Jusuf Nurkic sidelined, but at least Minnesota’s absences—Anthony Edwards and Patrick Beverly missed Saturday’s game—ensured it […]

So much for consternation over a wholly transformative trade deadline. Instead of reeling from finally breaking up its longtime core, the Portland Trail Blazers entered the All-Star break winners of four straight games, playing with activity and intensity that had often been absent during Chauncey Billups’ inaugural season on the sidelines. The Blazers can’t count […]

The Portland Trail Blazers finally tore it down at the trade deadline, sending out C.J. McCollum and three other impact veterans in a series of moves that placed the organization’s focus firmly on next season.

Mere moments after the most transformational trade deadline in franchise history, interim general manager Joe Cronin all but confirmed what the Portland Trail Blazers’ series of cost-cutting, win-later moves meant for Damian Lillard over the season’s remainder. Portland’s superstar point guard would “most likely” sit out until 2022-23, Cronin said at a post-deadline press conference, […]

Winning isn’t exactly the top organizational priority in Rip City after a truly transformational trade deadline. Nobody seems to have told Anfernee Simons, Josh Hart, Jusuf Nurkic and the re-invigorated Portland Trail Blazers, though. Portland routed the Milwaukee Bucks 122-107 on Monday at Fiserv Forum, winning its third straight game since overhauling the roster last […]

Josh Hart had barely been in Portland for more than 24 hours when he took the floor at Moda Center on Saturday noon. Just after his standout debut with the Portland Trail Blazers, though, it’s more than safe to say Rip City is just as excited about Hart’s new future as he is. Invigorated by […]

After productive stints with the Portland Trail Blazers, CJ McCollum can hit the reset button as he joins the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Portland Trail Blazers recently shocked the NBA world, trading Norman Powell and Robert Covington to the Los Angeles Clippers.

The New Orleans Pelicans have not played the type of basketball that they had hoped for this season, and much of it can be attributed to Zion Williamson’s injury, since he has yet to play a game for them this season. With a 20-32 record, New Orleans is currently the 11th seed in the Western […]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ surprising recent surge sans Damian Lillard, thankfully, may not prevent them from making a major deal at the trade deadline after all. According to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report, the New Orleans Pelicans have shown interest in acquiring C.J. McCollum leading up to February 10th. Portland would reportedly receive a package […]

The New Orleans Pelicans have fared very poorly without Zion Williamson this season. An 18-29 record has them in 11th place in the Western Conference. They need an infusion of talent badly. One very good player that could be up for grabs is Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum. As the Blazers remain on the […]

The New Orleans Pelicans don’t have a lot to smile about these days. But on Thursday night, plenty of smiles went around as they defeated the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, 102-91. But aside from the win, which helped the Pelicans improve to 17-28, the evening was extra special for Brandon Ingram, Josh […]

The New York Knicks fanbase has long been known to be a fickle crowd. Madison Square Garden isn’t hesitant to jeer their home team if they feel they are underperforming.

New Orleans Pelicans forward Josh Hart has been teammates with Brandon Ingram for his entire career, dating back to 2017 when Hart was drafted and both were on the Los Angeles Lakers.

There are bad losses and then there are awful losses. Then there are also 73-point losses. Well, actually not that many. On Thursday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder set a new NBA record for infamy after losing to the Memphis Grizzlies by a mind-boggling 73 points, 152-79. You can check. It’s true. The Thunder were […]

If you think you’re having a bad day, just be grateful that you’re not with the New Orleans Pelicans. The slumping squad suffered another debilitating defeat on Wednesday night after getting blasted by the Miami Heat, 113-98.

The Chicago Bulls had one of the best off-seasons as they signed DeMar DeRozan, Lonzo Ball, and Alex Caruso to complement the current core of their squad.

It has been a rather productive summer so far for the Charlotte Hornets. In this specific post, we’re going to look at potential Hornets free agents, or — at the very least — guys the franchise must target.

The Los Angeles Clippers made valiant run in the 2021 NBA playoffs, where they made the Western Conference Finals for the first time in franchise history.

After 22 consecutive seasons of playoff basketball for the San Antonio Spurs, they now have missed the postseason in consecutive seasons for the first time in franchise history.

It wasn’t too long ago that the thought of Kyle Lowry parting ways with the Toronto Raptors was unthinkable. Yet here we are now.
