The Philadelphia 76ers have a chance to notch their first five-game win streak of the 2025-26 season on Tuesday night when they face the Golden State Warriors. The Sixers opened this back-to-back last night, defeating the Los Angeles Clippers (sans James Harden) thanks in no small part to a career-night from Dominick Barlow. The hero […]
Order has been restored in the NBA universe. After a weird time where it felt like we were in the upside down, the Lakers and Grizzlies are back to their rightful places. For those unaware, many years ago, the former fearless leader of the site, Harrison Faigen, once expertly pointed out that the Grizzlies had […]
The Boston Celtics were down several key players on the second night of a back-to-back as they took on the Houston Rockets. Houston, who came into the game as the fourth seed in the West with a record of 31-18, was widely seen as the favorites given the absences of Jaylen Brown, Sam Hauser, and […]
The landscape of the NBA is changing during Trade Deadline Week, 2026. Earlier in the day the Memphis Grizzlies traded Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz. Now the Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers have agreed to swap point guards as 36-year-old superstar James Harden heads to Ohio for 26-year-old Darius Garland and a […]
It was February of 2003. Kevin Garnett walked into the All-Star Game as the Timberwolves’ lone representative, our one-man franchise, and walked out with the MVP trophy after leading the Western Conference to a win. I remember sitting in my college apartment obsessively tracking every KG rebound and elbow jumper like it was Game 7 […]
The Portland Trail Blazers started a new winning streak in NBA action tonight, outplaying the Utah Jazz 135-119. Crafty Jrue Holiday led the way with 31 points in a masterful performance to negate the 28 points from Utah’s Brice Sensabaugh. The Blazers are heading into the All-Star break with four wins in their last five […]
Brooklyn’s penultimate game before the All-Star break sure felt like the kind of thing you’d sneak in at work before going on vacation. With the Chicago Bulls in town, a group that’s been mediocre so long it might as well be a sponsor for the Play-In tournament, and the lottery-bound Nets playing host, the contest […]
In many ways, it didn’t seem like Saturday would be the Portland Trail Blazers’ night against the Memphis Grizzlies. That feeling started pregame, as long injury reports — and the fact it was the second meeting between the teams in 48 hours — brought to the matchup the wonky energy usually reserved for the tanktastic […]

Last night’s Toronto Raptors game was so bad that it doesn’t warrant a recap. If you saw it, you know. If you didn’t, the Raptors got blown out by the Sixers, who welcomed back both Joel Embiid and Paul George into the lineup. It sucked. What didn’t suck, though, was Kyle Lowry entering the game […]
At his end-of-season press conference last May, Miami Heat president Pat Riley hinted at the organization wanting to duck the luxury tax to avoid repeater tax penalties for the 2025-26 season. By a series of moves, the Heat got under the luxury tax last summer, currently $1.6 million below that threshold. Though Saturday marked the […] The post Heat are now allowed to fill roster without exceeding luxury tax appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Milwaukee Bucks aren’t eliminated from the NBA Cup’s knockout stage yet, but even if they can take out the New York Knicks at MSG, they need lots of help to get there. New York will win Group C with a victory while Milwaukee’s only hope is the wild card. That will take both a […]
