LeBron James says it was ‘insane’ to share floor with Bronny in playoff game
The days of LeBron and Bronny sharing the court together in only a ceremonial sense are long, long gone. While it was a great moment in his rookie season to have the father-and-son duo play together to start last season, Bronny was clearly out of his depth. It’s only at this point, late in his […]
Tatum’s defense holding up under pressure
The Philadelphia 76ers targeted Jayson Tatum early and often in Game 1 — and may have revealed that one of Boston’s old strengths is still available for another title run. Now, it’s no secret that Tatum is back and looking good. He made headlines with a dominant showing in his return to playoff basketball on […]
Brew Hoop’s 2025–26 NBA Award Winners
Last week, NBA media submitted their ballots for regular-season awards, with the late-breaking stipulation that Cade Cunningham and Luka Doncic were indeed eligible despite playing fewer than 65 games. What a stupid rule. As we hope that one goes the way of the dodo bird in short order, and as hardware starts to come out […]
Syracuse women’s basketball: Laila Phelia gets WNBA camp invite
The Syracuse Orange didn’t have a selection in this year’s WNBA Draft, but guard Laila Phelia has headed to training camp with the Atlanta Dream. Phelia faces an uphill climb to break camp with a roster spot as Atlanta added three new guards to their roster which already included fiver returners led by Alisha Gray, […]
Gay pro basketball captain raises Pride flag after winning major championship
Sebastian Vega helped lead his team from Argentina to its first Basketball Champions League Americas title. He came out as gay in 2020 and has never looked back. The post Gay pro basketball captain raises Pride flag after winning major championship appeared first on Outsports .
Rockets picked the wrong veteran guard
Hindsight is 20/20. Foresight is not. So, arguing with the benefit of hindsight will annoy people. Still, if it’s contrary to a view that you’d expressed with (deeply flawed) foresight, it’s responsible. All of which is to say, I thought Fred VanVleet over James Harden was the right call. Now, I think it was a […]
Hawks 107, Knicks 106: “We’ve seen this all before”
Thanks to days of debilitating back pain, I am currently either in excruciating pain regularly or doped up on a muscle relaxer that leaves me dizzier than Dean. As I watched the Knicks slowly but surely piss away last night’s game and a potential 2-0 series lead, I didn’t feel that upset. Some of that, […]
Celtics, 76ers injury reports: who’s in, who’s out for Game 2
The Celtics host the 76ers on Tuesday night for Game 2, two days after a 32-point Game 1 demolition. And, they’ll mostly be at full strength: only Ron Harper Jr. is on the injury report. He’s listed as probable with a right ankle sprain that he suffered earlier this month. Jayson Tatum, who made his […]
Hawks rally late behind McCollum to take Game 2
The Atlanta Hawks overcame a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter to even their best-of-seven series against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Monday night, taking a 107-106 victory. CJ McCollum led all scorers with 32 points while Jonathan Kuminga added 19 points off the bench. For the Knicks, Jalen Brunson scored […]
Kevin Durant rejoins Rockets’ lineup in Game 2 at Lakers
The Rockets have been battle-tested by injuries all year, and just hours before tipoff of their second consecutive playoff appearance, they were dealt another blow. All-Star forward Kevin Durant was ruled out for Game 1 with a right knee contusion that head coach Ime Udoka said he suffered during practice on Wednesday. “Hopefully it’s a […] The post Kevin Durant rejoins Rockets’ lineup in Game 2 at Lakers appeared first on ClutchFans .
Joe Mazzulla’s rejection of Coach of the Year is not what you think
In a pregame press conference in Atlanta in late March, Joe Mazzulla said he never wanted to be asked about the Coach of the Year award again. “I don’t need it,” Mazzulla said. “I think it’s a stupid award. They shouldn’t have it. And it’s more about the players. It’s more about the work that […]
Nowhere to go but up as Sixers look to avoid gifting Celtics 2-0 series lead
Here we go again! The Philadelphia 76ers will take the floor at TD Garden once again on Tuesday in hopes of turning things around in this first-round playoff series against the Boston Celtics — or at least make it a little more competitive. The hosting Celtics come into Game 2 with a 1-0 series lead […]
Tuesday Morning Texas Rangers Update
Good morning. Evan Grant writes that, in one of those Hakeem Olajuwon on the Toronto Raptors or Emmitt Smith on the Arizona Cardinals moments, Andrew McCutchen will suit up for the Texas Rangers against the Pittsburgh Pirates this week. Andrew McFarland checks out the latest trends after the Rangers finished up a long West Coast […]

The Dallas Mavericks season came to an end in a resounding win over the Bulls last week, quieting things down in terms of team-related news for a few days. As he has always done, Dallas’ adopted son, Dirk Nowitzki, comes through yet again to give us some feel-good news to report on. Today, April 21st, […]
Open Thread: Wemby’s Defensive Player of the Year announcement interview
On Monday evening, the NBA Defensive Player of the Year was announced, the first of many NBA honors beiong revealed this week.

YouTube Gold: Could Larry Bird Still Star Today?
This video raises a question we’ve seen quite often in recent years: Could Larry Bird still dominate today? Or would be be a role player? The answer is yes, he could still run the league, and for a few reasons. First, Bird was, as Joe Dumar once said, a basketball savant. Do you think Charles […]
9 Takeaways from Cavs Game 2 win over Raptors: Physicality finally favors Cleveland
CLEVELAND — Toronto Raptors head coach Darko Rajaković was perplexed about Brandon Ingram’s lack of free throws after his team dropped Game 2 to the Cleveland Cavaliers 115-105. In the process of that complaint, he admitted something that maybe no other coach has about this era of Cavs basketball. “Cleveland is playing with a lot […]
Rockets shouldn’t get sympathy for injuries versus Lakers
The tale of the tape in the Houston Rockets’ opening round postseason matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers was one that hinged on health. Especially heading into the series. The Los Angeles Lakers were seemingly at their weakest, as the team was forced to play without Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves seemingly for the entirety […]
I’m a Sixers fan stuck in a Celtics writer’s body, and I’m never going back
GAH! Where am I? Whose laptop is this? CelticsBlog? “Grant Burfeind, Staff Writer?” That can’t be right. The last thing I remember I was Googling whether my appendix would be compatible with Joel Embiid’s body and what his address is so I could mail it his way. Now…well, now I’m somewhere else entirely. I catch […]
The Charlotte Hornets’ pre-lottery draft spots are set
While the big draft pick shuffle is still almost three weeks away, the NBA did a little bit of housekeeping with the order of the picks. There aren’t any special tiebreakers to set the draft order of teams that finish with the same record. Instead, the league simply does a drawing for each of the […] The post The Charlotte Hornets’ pre-lottery draft spots are set first appeared on At The Hive .
Parquet Plays: Spain and spacing in Game 1
The Celtics’ Game 1 blowout was surgical. Limiting their turnovers to eight and Philly to 4-of-23 from behind the arc certainly helped, but offensively, Boston stuck to their core offensive principles en route to a 123-91 win over the 76ers. There are 2,350 square feet from midline to baseline and head coach Joe Mazzulla maximizes […]
Deandre Ayton says JJ Redick’s trust in him gave him confidence vs. Rockets
The injuries to Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves mean the asks of the Lakers’ role players have increased, both in terms of responsibilities and expected production. For a player like Deandre Ayton, who has been under a microscope for most of the season, it puts even more pressure on him, which can lead to a […]
Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs. Portland Trail Blazers, Game 2
A playoff series can turn at any time. The San Antonio Spurs handled the Portland Trail Blazers at home in Game One on the back of a historic playoff debut from Victor Wembanyama.
