Pistons 121, Knicks 90: Yuck.

Kevin Durant says the quiet part out loud about “Ring Culture”

Kevin Durant’s social media platform is usually utilized for trolling. Or humorously engaging in banter with fans, in a rather non-serious manner. Every now and then, Durant will be in his bag, however. Lately, Durant has been cooking. Well, somewhat. On New Year’s Eve, Durant took to Twitter (I don’t think I’ll ever call it […]

2 Teams Have Pulled Back From Fire Sale To Listening On Players

While the Eastern Conference seems wide open, it's much tougher to hold down a playoff spot in that conference than the Western Conference, where the cutoff is five points lower. That means while a team has to be 6-7 games over .500 at this point in the season to hold a wildcard spot in the East, a team can be .500 to three games over .500 to hold one in the West. That being said, some not so good teams in the West, who were seen as sellers and willing to have a fire sale to prepare for the fu...

Comments from the Other Side - Kings 1/1/26

 Kings fans seem like they are a decent bunch. Mostly complementary of the Celtics and don't overly trash their own team (other than Eubanks and Westbrook).   I always love hearing a lot of Celtics fans on the road.  Must have felt good for Queta to be starting for the Celtics after being waived by the Kings.  I feel bad for the fan who just misses winning.  Wild stat that the Celtics haven't played on New Year's Day in Boston since 1956.  My favorites are in...

Who is the better player: Luka Doncic or Cooper Flagg?
