The Brooklyn Nets snuck into the All-Star break in an optimal lottery position and without a crowd of accusers behind them, alleging they’ve compromised the game’s integrity and warped its competitive nature. The latter without the former is a rare thing today, particularly this season. Tonight, they reemerged from it in a far less enviable […]

Back in action. It hasn’t been all bad in Brooklyn. The Nets have won two of their last three, and Egor Demin even found himself on the winning side at the Rising Stars Challenge (coached by Vince Carter). Not a bad weekend for the rookie. On the other sideline, Kenny Atkinson has to be feeling […]

Cleveland Cavaliers guard James Harden made headlines after his home debut by saying loyalty is overrated after joining his fourth different franchise since 2022. “It’s basketball, the whole quote on quote loyalty thing is, I think it’s overrated,” Harden said last week. “I think this is a business at the end of the day, and […]

It’s been a long season full of recurring injuries for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Soon, hopefully, they can put those concerns behind them and finish the final 27 games strong. That means getting multiple key players such as Evan Mobley, Dean Wade and Max Strus back on the court. Head coach Kenny Atkinson says those guys […]

James Harden is a walking paradox. The newest Cleveland Cavaliers star is a man who’s inarguably changed how basketball is played — especially by those at the top of the game. He has birthed an entire generation of players who put their own spin on the heliocentric, perfectly spaced, three-outcome offense he pioneered. Jayson Tatum, […]

No one likes to lose. Even worse, no one likes to be blamed for losing. Lonzo Ball says he feels he became a scapegoat for fans this season when the Cleveland Cavaliers were struggling. “I don’t feel like I’m playing as badly as people are saying,” Ball said on his podcast. “I know I’m the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers took a big swing at the trade deadline by swapping Darius Garland for James Harden. Initial returns are positive. Harden showed up and blended in faster than anybody could have reasonably expected. His gifts in the pick-and-roll are obvious, and with them, Jarrett Allen is flourishing.
