As we motor on towards the draft, it appears that there likely will not be any further free agent signings until after the draft unless they are for the minimum. There might be a contract extension for O’Neill but I thought that was going to be last year. Could the team just leave his contract […]
1pm CT on SEC Network. Yesterday’s game was a much needed victory over the hated School to the East—an extra inning 3-2 victory fueled by 7 and 1/3 IP of one run, 9 K ball by Connor “The Spice” Fennel” and a 10th inning walk-off single by Johnstone the Elder. Today, we go for win […]
The Dallas Mavericks travelled to the northwest to take on the Portland Trailblazers Friday night. The Mavs have officially been eliminated from Playoff contention, while the Blazers have clinched a spot in at least the Play In tournament. Despite having nothing to play for, Dallas got the 100-93 win. Let’s get to the grades! Cooper […]
Thank you for your responses to this week’s SB Nation NBA Reacts survey. Here are the results. In our Washington Wizards survey, we asked you whether you believed the team would ultimately clinch an NBA record 29 game losing streak. If that were happen, that streak would have stretched into next season where Washington would […]
Fun game. Especially watching Payton Pritchard go off. How can you not love the guy? I love how he comes out of the trees with rebounds. I'm so glad he's a Celtic. Their descriptions of Baylor Scheierman cracked me up. Thunder fans had a couple of funny descriptions of him also. It cracks me up that everybody thinks the Celtics get so much help from the refs. If they did, they wouldn't be last in the league in free throws attempted. My favorites are in...
After dropping Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jackets — a critical matchup in their push to remain in the mix for a playoff spot — in pretty deflated fashion, the Flyers found themselves well and truly on the ropes, as they looked to keep their playoff hopes alive. Thursday’s next matchup, then, against the visiting Blackhawks was going to be critical to helping them get things back on track, if they could again tap into a short memory and turn the page quickly. And what the team deliver...
The best things from the Wizards loss to the Golden State Warriors were these: What most interested me in this game was the solid performance of Pat Spencer, who was scouted and signed by the former Wizards management team led by Tommy Sheppard. Spencer played well in the G-League and summer league, and my statistical […]
Jordan Walsh’s third season has been a bit of a roller coaster. He started the season as a distant idea, where youth and potential still held weight, but it was unclear if he could break through. That breakthrough did happen, and it led to a string of promising starts with consistent and meaningful playing time. […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seattle Seahawks fans and fans across the country. As we inch closer to the 2026 NFL Draft, the speculation about the Seattle Seahawks’ draft capital is beginning to heat up. Will the Seahawks keep their […]
The Atlanta Hawks fell to defeat to the Boston Celtics on Friday night — 109-102 — at TD Garden. Jalen Johnson led the Hawks in scoring with 29 points with CJ McCollum adding 21 points. For the Celtics — without Jaylen Brown — Payton Pritchard scored 36 points, and Jayson Tatum added 26 points. Much […]
The Seattle Seahawks continue to improve their coaching staff ahead of the new season, adding veteran college coach Jimmie Dougherty — a name widely respected for his work with quarterbacks and the passing game. Dougherty arrives from the University of Washington, where he most recently served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. While this will […]
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 […]
The Miami Heat hold a prominent place in basketball culture, and their presence extends beyond the court into the world of gaming. Fans have long enjoyed playing as the team in the NBA 2K series, one of the most popular sports franchises in gaming. Each annual release updates player ratings, rosters, and gameplay mechanics, giving […] The post Miami Franchise: 5 Games That Would Excite the Heat Fanbase appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
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 […]

Do something fun. Not an order. But a strong suggestion. Thanks for being here. Go, ‘Hawks! #np Freak by Liv East Seahawks News Which Seahawks-linked draft […]
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 […]
