The Spurs will have to settle for a split after two games in Oklahoma City. Despite doing a good job of keeping the game close and giving themselves a chance to win, fatigue and an injury to Dylan Harper that depleted their depth even more were too much to overcome against an opponent that found […]
The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs have sent a shockwave around the rest of the NBA. They’re (hundreds of) miles away from the majority of the pack, including the Miami Heat. Miami has done a poor job managing and accumulating assets over the last several years, leaving itself little breathing room for star […] The post What latest asset rankings say about Heat’s Giannis Antetokounmpo pursuit appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Cason Wallace would give the Pistons everything they want in a shooting guard.
The Western Conference Finals are at a stalemate thanks to chronic turnovers by the San Antonio Spurs. On top of that, Chet Holmgren finally showed up to the series, and OKC’s bench scored an abundance of relief points, which included Alex Caruso shooting like prime Klay Thompson. The series will now shift to San Antonio. The […]
This episode of ‘Oskee Talk’ is a collaboration with TCR’s “Illini Isaac” Ambrose! We chat about Andrej Stojakovic’s looming NBA draft decision (3:54), Keaton Wagler’s potential new team (9:49), men’s basketball’s non-conference clash with Duke (15:46), and the benefit of playing so many top-tier opponents (24:42). We also break down Brad Underwood’s contract extension (27:19) […]
The Lakers’ transition from a barebones front office to one as robust as the Dodgers is not something that can happen overnight. On top of the sheer volume of hires, ensuring the right people are hired is just as important. It makes sense, then, to involve two of the main figures of that Dodgers front […]
BYU freshman superstar AJ Dybantsa hasn't even played one minute of NBA basketball, and the NBA world is already crowning him as perhaps the heir apparent to tear the MVP award from its current streak of international dominance. As much as basketball has
After the Dallas Mavericks fired coach Jason Kidd, a rumor sparked that new GM Masai Ujiri would make a run at Duke’s Jon Scheyer. From his point of view, it makes sense. Scheyer has shown a striking command of the game, an ability to rapidly adapt to changes in the game, and of course, he […]
No surprise here, the Sixers’ rookie is getting recognized for his stellar inaugural season as a pro. Philadelphia 76ers guard VJ Edgecombe has been named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team, the league announced on Wednesday night. The other First Team rookies for this season are Cedric Coward (Memphis), Cooper Flagg (Dallas), Dylan Harper (Spurs) […]
The Spurs won’t have a third consecutive Rookie of the Year, as the Mavericks’ Cooper Flagg claimed that honor, but that doesn’t mean Dylan Harper’s excellent play will go unrecognized. The second overall pick of the 2025 draft got a spot in the All-Rookie First Team, the league announced. Harper received 93 first-place votes and […]
While the Lakers will have plenty of player movement with their roster this summer, there will also likely be a lot of front office movement as well. The arrival of Mark Walter as owner was always going to lead to filling out the front office. President of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka acknowledged that the team would […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have had many demoralizing playoff losses in the past four seasons. Game 1 against the New York Knicks was among the worst. After proving through 40 minutes that they’re more than ready for the bright lights of the conference finals and a road game at Madison Square Garden, they reverted to their […]
The Oklahoma City Thunder will seek to redress the ills of their Game 1, double-overtime loss to the San Antonio Spurs tonight as the two teams face off in Game 2 of the 2026 Western Conference Finals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander won the 2026 MVP Award but Victor Wembanyama had a big-stage debut party in the first […]

We are nearing the one month mark until the 2026 NBA Draft. The two-day spectacle will begin on June 23. The Heat’s worst-kept secret is that they will be aggressively pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo, who they could not secure ahead of the trade deadline. For now, they will have two picks — Nos. 13 and 41 […] The post 2026 NBA Draft Tracker: Who do Heat plan to work out? appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

The Minnesota Timberwolves failed to get out of the Western Conference once again in these playoffs. A second-round defeat followed two straight years making it to the Conference Finals before falling. With that in mind, they're eyeing two huge moves. The Timberwolves are looking to move to the Eastern Conference, per @DWolfsonKSTP They are also looking to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo. “Yes, they want to be in the Eastern Conference, but that's still a few years out if it even hap...
Victor Wembanyama scored big in the first game of his third NBA season with the San Antonio Spurs. Where do gay fans stand?
The Detroit Pistons finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference this season. But their playoff run was... interesting, to say the least. The Pistons had to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the first round against the Orlando Magic just to squeak by them in 7 games. They had to come back from a 3-2 deficit to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round to force a Game 7, only to be blown out by 31 points in the decisive match. The team obviously made huge strides this sea...
The Cleveland Cavaliers are not even 24 hours removed from their gut-punch of a loss in the Eastern Conference Finals, and there is already offseason talk. Once again, it involves LeBron James. Sometimes, James is cryptic in his moves and thoughts. Other times, he just likes a post about a potential return to play next […]
I don't like any of them...well, maybe one...
The Cleveland Cavaliers have fallen apart late during several postseason games. That is their own doing. However, those collapses have usually been accompanied by missed calls down the stretch. Blowing a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter against the New York Knicks in Game 1 was no exception. The NBA’s Last Two Minute Report shows […]
When Jake LaRavia had it going for the Lakers, he looked like a genius signing for the franchise. He was knocking down so many threes against the Wolves to start the season that Anthony Edwards was asking who he was. Then the lights got brighter, and LaRavia began to dim. His shooting struggles from the […]
