CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers lost their third straight game, this one against the Boston Celtics. Grades are based on our expectations for each player.

The San Antonio Spurs folded in Minnesota against the Timberwolves, going 2-2 on their nine-day road trip. The latter was on the second night of a back-to-back, but they still had the legs to down a surplus of jumpers, and San Antonio’s half-court defense was shredded, which was ultimately their undoing. The Spurs weren’t facing […]
In a battle of elite starpower, the teams conducted a scorched net exhibition before Minnesota pulled away at the start of the fourth quarter and finished off the Spurs off 125-112.

Less than 24 hours later, they took the court in NYC to face the New York Knicks (13-6). Even with fatigue, travel, and missing RJ Barrett, we expected more from the Canadian Club. […]
Things aren’t right with the Cleveland Cavaliers. That was on display once again as they dropped Sunday’s game 117-115 to an injured Boston Celtics team that was playing the second night of a back-to-back themselves. The Cavs weren’t able to get enough defensive rebounds, stops, or timely baskets when it mattered most. They weren’t the […]
The Utah Jazz had a rough outing against the Houston Rockets, losing 129-101. Let’s look at how the team did. Svi Mykhailiuk | B Mykhailiuk was solid in this one overall. Mykhailiuk, to me, is a puddy player, he can plug holes of scoring where needed, and tries on defense. If you’re expecting more than […]
The New York Knicks had an emphatic win against their Atlantic Division opponents on Sunday night, as the Toronto Raptors, down two starters, got an uncomfortable first meeting against their NBA Cup opponents.

The NBA is playing faster than ever, and right now, the Cleveland Cavaliers are being left behind. Kenny Atkinson isn’t happy with how his team has been defending in transition this season. “Very concerned,” Atkinson said when asked about the Cavaliers’ transition defense. “It’s a high-paced league, and part of stopping that is getting back […]
There’s not too many more satisfying things as a Houston Rockets fan (especially one that’s been around a while) as a blowout victory over the Utah Jazz.
