We’re almost there! The Nets have just eight games remaining on their schedule in the regular season. This isn’t just the end of a season for the Nets…it’s the end of a two year “tank run” we knew wouldn’t be fun, but we had to go through. It’s the end of a jail sentence. The […]

They could barely get 10 shots last week, but beating Chicago in a lottery race? Of course. Sykora’s first, Laf keeps rolling, and the tank takes another dent.
The struggling Milwaukee Bucks face the white-hot San Antonio Spurs this afternoon at Fiserv, and there is potential for it to get really ugly, really fast; with Giannis already ruled out, Victor Wembanyama could run riot over the Bucks. A Spurs win today would mean they take the season series 2-0. Where We’re At The […]

The Sixers are coming off a blowout WIN (haven’t been able to type that much this season), taking down the Chicago Bulls 157-137. Now they head to Charlotte to take on one of the hottest teams in the league in what could be a pivotal matchup with real long-term stakes. Why does a regular-season game […]
Sorry for the miss on the Game Thread last night, y’all. We had a miscommunication on the game coverage sheet, and I was working one of my other jobs last night, so I couldn’t just jump in. Anyway, enough apologies, on to the game. The Houston Rockets got a win last night, dowing the Memphis […]
Basketball continues, whether we want it to or not. That’s the lesson of March and April. There’s still plenty of hoops ahead, not to mention awards, then playoffs. If you’re looking to make any moves, there’s still plenty of things to hold your interest over at FanDual. One of those things might be the NBA […]
Barcelona and Hansi Flick have been left fuming by news that Raphinha has been ruled out for five weeks due to an injury sustained while playing for Brazil in a friendly against France in the United States. According to Diario Sport, there is “total incomprehension” at the situation. The club are furious that Raphinha had […]
#1 – Early game trouble As it was highlighted by Gray Washburn in the press conference after the game, it’s rare for Joe Mazzulla to call multiple timeouts so early in the game. However, pretty quickly, the Celtics were falling behind, especially because of their offense. As the Celtics head coach said, there were too […]
In strange-but-true news, Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has filed to trademark the word “Iceman” for his merchandise line. If the name “Iceman” sounds familiar, it’s because San Antonio Spurs legend George Gervin has been using it for over half a century. The Hall of Fame baller has taken action by filing trademark requests for […]
In his 10th game back with the Boston Celtics on Friday night, Jayson Tatum delivered his best performance of the season by dominating the second half against the Atlanta Hawks. It wasn’t particularly efficient, at least not by his standards, and afterward, he admitted the process of building himself back up has brought a mix […]
BOSTON — With Jaylen Brown out against the Atlanta Hawks, someone needed to step up to shoulder the offensive load for the Celtics and Payton Pritchard answered the call. Pritchard finished with a team-high 36 points along with 7 rebounds and 4 assists while shooting 13-23 from the field and 6-11 from three-point range. The […]
Welcome to the NBA Draft class of 2026! This year’s batch is positively loaded with star power at the top, with three to five premier prospects (depending on who you ask) boasting All-Star or even All-NBA potential and the talent to lift their floundering franchise to the promised land. The race between Big 12 stars […]
The Portland Trail Blazers played with the wrong type of fire Friday night at the Moda Center. In the end, they got burned, falling 100-93 to the Dallas Mavericks (now 24-50) in a crucial game in the Western Conference Play-In race. It was a Portland performance typified by 25 turnovers, 10 missed free throws, two […]
Mercyhurst announced early Friday morning that it was dropping its men's hockey program. The Lakers won four regular-season and three conference tournament championships in their history, but had hit difficult times lately. Coach Rick Gotkin is retiring this year after 37 seasons, and was set to be replaced by assistant Tom Peffal. Gotkin only found out about Mercyhurst's decision Friday morning, ...
The Brooklyn Nets have not been a physically imposing team in a long time. That lack of phsyicality has been a common criticism of Sean Marks’ rosters in his decade-long tenure as GM, though there have been a couple notable exceptions. Andre Drummond and Day’Ron Sharpe aren’t just strong on paper; they’re two of the […]
In a game of runs, it was the Celtics that eventually finished out the final stretch to beat the visiting Hawks 109-102 behind 36 points off the bench from Payton Pritchard and a 26-12-5 line from Jayson Tatum. Without Jaylen Brown (and Nikola Vucevic), Boston was able weather a Hawks’ 25-9 opening kick and a […]
Oh, how quickly empires fall. For the longest time, I would try to carve out an opening in my writing schedule for at least one or two games against the Bucks. Even when the Spurs were at their worst, I wanted to see what would happen. The Bucks served as a measuring stick for me; […]
LOS ANGELES — It wasn’t a pretty win for the Lakers against the Nets on Friday night. Despite Brooklyn having every incentive to lose and dropping nine games entering this contest, they trailed by just one entering the final quarter. The Lakers, desperately trying to avoid an embarrassing loss, needed to get a boost from […]
Credit to the fearless Brooklyn Nets fans who pushed through another late night, staying up into the early hours of Saturday to watch a team grind through the final game of a rough West Coast road trip. Unfortunately, it was for naught. On Friday, the Nets dropped their 10th straight, despite a valiant effort, falling […]
BOSTON — For months, whether Jayson Tatum was going to return to the court was one of the biggest questions in basketball. We saw glimpses of his on-court workouts and heard nothing but positive things about how he looked to his teammates, but the door was left open — and discourse intensified — when he […]
The Dallas Mavericks picked up a rousing 100-93 win against the Portland Trail Blazers. Cooper Flagg and Marvin Bagley had monster games for the Mavericks, while Portland had one of the worst offensive games of a team in the last decade. Not overexaggerating! This was a rock fight from the start, although Dallas did extend […]
