Brooklyn Nets General Manager Sean Marks addressed the media Tuesday following the team’s announcement of the firing of head coach Steve Nash. The Nets are 2-5 through their first seven games. Brooklyn ranks 29th in defensive rating and 16th in offensive rating while posting the fourth-worst per-game point differential (-6.4) in the NBA this season. […]

Steve Nash was regarded as one of basketball’s brightest young coaches when the Brooklyn Nets hired him in September 2020. He’s out just over two years later, a pair of failed seasons, never-ending drama and wholly dispiriting beginning to 2022-23 prompting Nash’s mutually agreed upon departure from Brooklyn. Nash, obviously, wasn’t the Nets’ only problem. […]

The Boston Celtics were on the hunt for a rental big man during the offseason, and they eventually brought in six-time All-Star Blake Griffin. Another once perennial All-Star, Dwight Howard, believes he should’ve been the man for the job. Following the untimely injury of Robert Williams III, the Celtics needed another center who could fill […]

The Denver Broncos are back in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft after trading star pass rusher Bradley Chubb. After compiling a massive trade package that included multiple first- and second-round picks to acquire quarterback Russell Wilson, the Broncos were left with very little draft capital. Hours before the 4 p.m. ET trade deadline, […]

Right before the bombshell Steve Nash firing, the Brooklyn Nets announced Ben Simmons will miss his second consecutive game Tuesday while dealing with left knee soreness. Simmons appeared on Brooklyn’s injury report Monday prior to the team’s 116-109 win over the Indiana Pacers. The three-time All-Star had not missed a game this season prior. Before […]

On Sunday afternoon, Paul George said he needed to be better in order for the Los Angeles Clippers to win. Over four straight losses, George had struggled by averaging just 13.3 points on 31 percent shooting from the field. A day later, he came through and delivered when they needed him most. George finished Monday […]

LOS ANGELES — Following a fourth straight loss Sunday afternoon, a sickly Paul George took ownership of the Los Angeles Clippers’ bad start to their season. “It starts with me,” he said. George didn’t take long to live up to his words. George’s monster Halloween night against the Houston Rockets was capped by both the […]

For the first time in nearly five weeks, the Denver Broncos are back in the win column! The Broncos earned their win overseas in London after beating the Jacksonville Jaguars, 21-17. After multiple weeks in a row of frustratingly close losses, Denver finally managed to squeak out a win. The win was a must-need, as […]

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Clippers will be without Kawhi Leonard for least the next two games. This according to head coach Tyronn Lue, who on Monday night revealed that the Clippers star will not travel to Houston or San Antonio as part of the two-game trip. Instead, he’ll stay in Los Angeles to […]

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Lakers — and their fans — fell back in love with Russell Westbrook. The feeling seemed mutual. At least for one night. Westbrook came off the bench for the second game in a row and helped lead the Lakers to their first win of the season;  a spirited and balanced […]

At moments it was pretty, at moments it was ugly, but the end result was all that mattered for a Brooklyn Nets team in desperate need of a victory. Brooklyn snapped a four-game skid with a 116-109 win over the Indiana Pacers Monday night. It was a much-needed bounce-back win for Brooklyn off the heels […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have atoned for their poor start to the season by winning three consecutive games. Their latest win over the Washington Wizards was a team effort, as numerous Sixers put up good games amid Joel Embiid’s absence due to illness. Tyrese Maxey shined with 28 points and James Harden tied his career-high of […]

Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets will be without Ben Simmons when they take on the Indiana Pacers Monday. The star point guard has been ruled out with left knee soreness. Moreover, Nets head coach Steve Nash was unsure of Simmons’ status ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Chicago Bulls. “Ben just has a sore […]

Zach Wilson may have cost the New York Jets a win Sunday, but that doesn’t mean his poor play will cost him the job as starting quarterback. Head coach Robert Saleh confirmed that Wilson will be the QB1 for the rest of the season, barring injury. “He’s our quarterback because we think he’s gonna get […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have not gotten off to a great start to the 2022-23 season. At 3-4, they played some dismal basketball to start the year but at least seem to now be getting on the right track. Still, they could use a little more firepower and have a clear option to add some. Although […]

Things are looking up in Big D at the moment. The Dallas Cowboys are 6-2, Dak Prescott just had his best game of the season in a 49-29 thumping of the Chicago Bears, and the team heads into the bye with a chance to recuperate and get healthy for the rest of the season. The […]

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon might seem unassuming, but he’s definitely not somebody to be messed with on the court. During a 112-94 victory over the Washington Wizards, the new Celtic showed who he is and posted a season-best 23 points in only 23 minutes. Following the win, former Boston guard Eddie House sounded off […]

Zach Wilson was on the receiving end of a stinging message from one of his most ardent supporters Monday. One day after tossing three brutal picks in a 22-17 loss to the New England Patriots, the New York Jets quarterback was shredded by Dan Orlovsky on ESPN’s “First Take.” “Everyone knows I like Zach Wilson,” […]

The New England Patriots got some more good news following their 22-17 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Wide receiver DeVante Parker’s knee injury that he suffered in Sunday’s game is just a sprain, the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Monday. The injury isn’t believed to be serious. With the Patriots having their bye […]

One day after piling up a season-high six sacks, a report came out stating the New York Jets are in the running to acquire Bradley Chubb before the NFL trade deadline Tuesday. Peter King of NBC Sports reported that a “well-plugged-in” general manager told him the Jets and Miami Dolphins are interested in the Denver […]

The Brooklyn Nets held a players-only meeting Saturday after an embarrassing 125-116 loss to the Indiana Pacers. The loss, Brooklyn’s fourth in a row, came with Indiana on the back end of a back-to-back without one of their best players in Myles Turner. At 1-5, the Nets are one of five teams in the league […]

New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick didn’t seem to want to talk too much about moving past George Halas for the second-most wins all-time for an NFL coach with 325 after his team defeated the New York Jets 22-17 on Sunday. But his players spoke highly of him. Patriots quarterback Mac Jones opened up his […]

The New England Patriots got back on track on Sunday, defeating the New York Jets 22-17 to get them back to .500 with a 4-4 record. Here are five takeaways from their win over the now 5-3 Jets. Mac Jones was … fine After how the Monday night game against the Chicago Bears played out, […]

The New England Patriots found themselves in an unexpected quarterback controversy this month. Fourth-round rookie Bailey Zappe took Patriots fans by storm when he went 2-0 as a starter when he replaced an injured Mac Jones. When Jones returned from injury in Week 7 against the Chicago Bears, the controversy reached its height. Jones’ struggles […]

Bill Belichick made history in the New England Patriots’ 22-17 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Sunday’s win was the 325th of his career as a head coach, moving him past George Halas for the second-most wins in NFL history. After showing great admiration for Halas when he tied him in all-time wins […]

LOS ANGELES – Los Angeles Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue has often talked about giving his teams a 10-15 game sample size before making changes to lineups and rotations. An unexpected four-game losing streak before Halloween, however, is forcing Lue to re-evaluate his options. The Clippers fell to the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday afternoon, […]

The Golden State Warriors fell to the Detroit Pistons 128-114 on Sunday, weary legs, widespread early shooting struggles and their penchant for lackadaisical defense contributing to a second loss in as many days. Needless to say, going 0-2 against the lottery-bound Pistons and Charlotte Hornets isn’t exactly how the Warriors hoped to begin their first […]

Defense ailed the Golden State Warriors most again in Sunday’s 128-114 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Golden State fouled the hell out of the Pistons, sending them to the line for a whopping 38 free throws attempts. The Warriors were pounded on the defensive glass at times, resulting in 20 second-chance points. Detroit took easy […]

LOS ANGELES – Most of the Los Angeles Clippers’ locker room had cleared out by the time media was allowed in postgame. Players were understandably down. It wasn’t just that Sunday’s 112-91 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans marked the Clippers’ fourth in a row, but it was the way in which it happened: without […]

Following what happened against the Chicago Bears in Week 7, every pass Mac Jones threw against the New York Jets on Sunday was going to have extra attention, even the ones that didn’t count. Jones arguably threw the most egregious pass of his career on Sunday in an unofficial play as part of the Patriots’ […]

A week after Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears dominated them, Matthew Judon and the New England Patriots’ defense got back on the right track on Sunday, propelling the team to a 22-17 victory over the New York Jets. While Jets quarterback Zach Wilson threw for 355 yards, the Patriots’ defense made life hard for […]

A lack of on-field chemistry with Zach Wilson may be at the heart of Elijah Moore’s trade request from the New York Jets. When asked about the connection with the Jets quarterback Sunday after their 22-17 loss to the New England Patriots, Moore gave a very telling answer. “I don’t even know, I can’t even […]

The Los Angeles Clippers will be without star Kawhi Leonard for the next couple of games, but the team maintains his situation is game-to-game with no timetable for his return. Speaking with members of media on Sunday morning before the Clippers’ matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans, Lue ruled Leonard out for both the matinee […]

The Golden State Warriors wasted the chance to begin their first multi-game road trip of the season with a comeback victory. As tipoff of their tilt with the Detroit Pistons awaits, the defending champions have more to worry about than weary legs on the second half of a back-to-back, too. A resting Klay Thompson won’t […]

Kyrie Irving said Saturday that he doesn’t believe he did anything wrong after posting the link to a film on social media that many have labeled antisemitic. Irving spoke following the Brooklyn Nets’ 125-116 loss to the Indiana Pacers, standing by his posts of the film Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America, which led […]

There’s lazy, there’s lackadaisical, there’s uninspired, and then there’s whatever the Brooklyn Nets put out on the court Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. The Nets put forth as disappointing an effort as you could imagine in a 125-116 loss to a Pacers team on the back end of a back-to-back without Myles Turner. Brooklyn’s non-existent […]

The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Golden State Warriors in a nail bitter to secure their first home win, 120-113. It may have taken overtime to get the job done against a team led by the greatest shooter ever in Steph Curry, but it was an impressive win by this young group. The Hornets are now […]

The Philadelphia 76ers have notched their first multi-game win of the season after taking down the Chicago Bulls 114-109. The Sixers looked like they were well on their way to a win in the first quarter but didn’t dominate as much after that. The Sixers scored 37 points in the first quarter but didn’t score […]

Stephen Curry certainly wasn’t the reason the Golden State Warriors lost to the Charlotte Hornets 120-113 on Saturday. After his team’s arduous second-half comeback was wasted in a frustrating overtime defeat, though, the reigning Finals MVP couldn’t help but shoulder some blame—rightfully so, too. Curry harped on his pair of three-point misses in the waning […]
