Rudy Gobert picked up another flagrant Friday night. Another suspension. Another entry in what’s quietly become one of the strangest subplots of this Timberwolves season: the Frenchman vs. The Whistle. This time it happened under the basket against Dallas. Gobert and Marvin Bagley III were wrestling for position like two heavyweight boxers in a phone […]

Thursday, 9;14 p.m. Central Time. Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Terminal 3, Gate H14. I have been here for three hours. Or maybe three years. I am supposed to visit my parents in Tucson, Arizona this weekend and my flight has been delayed by nearly five hours. My connection in Dallas is a distant fantasy at […]
Before the latest NBA season began, I wrote a piece entitled End of Summer Disjointed Basketball Thoughts. Now that we are past the All-Star break, and teams have played about two-thirds of their schedules, I thought it was a good time for a follow-up, especially with all the knowledge we have gained since last August. […]

Depending on tonight’s result against Houston, your emotions about the Knicks will fall somewhere between “We’re back!” and “Bring me the cyanide.” Hoping for the best, champs. After tonight, our heroes will begin an Eastern Conference-themed road trip. Get yourself a couple of cold cold ones, microwave some brats, and clog our arteries with a […]
This could prove to be a very long weekend for the Philadelphia 76ers if things don’t turn around quickly. After dropping their last three contests, the Sixers kick off a road back-to-back with a visit to the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night. This is the start of their 11h back-to-back of the season so […]
The Atlanta Hawks returned to State Farm Arena to begin a significant stretch of home games but fell to a disappointing 128-97 defeat to the Miami Heat on Friday night.

It was a back-to-back for Atlanta, and they were looking to keep their playoff momentum going being that they’re the ninth seed […]
So, yeah. Uhh… This is awkward. A burner. In a group chat full of “stan” accounts. Speaking poorly of his teammates. What? Well, it’s a testament to your poor judgment if you expect emotional maturity from NBA superstars. This man has been exalted for 20 years. Shame is likely less of a variable in his […]
Fresh of the All-Star break, the Milwaukee Bucks continued their resurgence, running away with it against the New Orleans Pelicans. It was the Bucks’ triumvirate at guard that led the way, with Ryan Rollins, Kevin Porter Jr., and Cam Thomas each going for 25-plus points in a game that offered strong performances across the board. […]
The Dallas Mavericks and their star point guard Kyrie Irving recently made it official – Irving would be out for the remainder of the season, looking for a fresh start in 2026-2027. While talking with fellow Mavs Moneyball contributor David Trink about what we could expect from Irving upon his return, I stated “I’m irrationally […]
In Thursday’s loss to Detroit, every Knicks (35*-21) drive into the paint looked like a LaMelo Ball driver’s ed video. Tonight, they hope for better results when they host the Houston Rockets (34-20) at the Mecca. This nationally televised tilt is a match-up of two third-place teams. The Knicks have gone 7-3 in their last […]
Former Blue Devil Kon Knueppel passed Donovan Mitchell for the second-most threes made by a rookie in an NBA season with 185. Coincidentally, the three that pushed him past Donovan was made…over Donovan. Keegan Murray holds the record with 206, set in 2023. Charlotte has 25 regular season games left and Knueppel is averaging 3.4 […]
We’re all coming around on the Brooklyn Nets’ 2025 NBA Draft, so widely mocked that the Phoenix Suns didn’t mind gasping at it on social media. The Nets themselves are probably feeling better about their draft too, if you believe last summer’s rumors that Brooklyn tried to trade one or two of their five first-round […]
Good morning, BBN! The Cats are back in action today as they take on the Auburn Tigers at Neville Arena in Auburn. It tips off at 8:30 PM EST. and you can watch it on ESPN. It’s been a pretty rough week for all things Kentucky Basketball. The loss to Florida was acceptable, but losing […]
The post-trade deadline time can be a strange one in the NBA. The teams that didn’t make many moves are trying to get ready for the playoffs, hoping to peak at the right time. The ones that shook things up are looking to rediscover an identity or form one for the first time. And then […]
The Portland Trail Blazers returned from the NBA All-Star break with the best health they’ve had all season and a chance to notch a quality win over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. Then those Nuggets — playing on the second night of a back-to-back — blasted the Blazers off their home floor in a […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to win their second game in as many nights. They defeated a good Charlotte Hornets team 118-113 to capture their seventh victory in a row. The Cavs need Jarrett Allen to play at this level. He’s shown these past few weeks that this team is at its very best when […]
The Wizards returned from the All-Star break with disastrous back-to-back wins in a tête-à-tête against the Indiana Pacers. In the one last night, the Wizards rallied from a 15-point second quarter deficit to win by 13. In the NBA’s 2026 race for the bottom, Washington has fallen to fifth behind the Sacramento Kings, New Orleans […]
The Celtics are no stranger to having elite facilitating guards. You can go all the way back to Bob Cousy in the 50s and 60s, Dennis Johnson in the 80s, Rajon Rondo in the late 2000s and early 2010s, and now we might have to start talking about Derrick White in 2026. White is averaging […]
