UPDATE 7 p.m. ET: Quentin Grimes has been downgraded to out for Tuesday hosting the Bucks, listed with a right ankle sprain. Joel Embiid remains questionable and Paul George is still probable (both for left knee injury management) with just over an hour before tipoff. It’s fitting that someone got dinged up in the worst […]
Nine days out from the NBA Trade Deadline and rumors are flying around the league with some featuring the Portland Trail Blazers. Marc Stein reported last night that the New York Knicks may be looking for a way to acquire veteran Blazers guard Jrue Holiday who is just over a half a season in the […]
Late on Sunday, the NBA unveiled the roster for its 2025-2026 Rising Stars game. Reed Sheppard, alongside several of his peers from the draft class, received an invitation, joining a mix of rookies and G League players. Sheppard will take part in a mini-tournament, going head-to-head with 20 other rookies and second-year players. NBA legends […]
It’s been a blast-from-the-past kind of week in Chicago. From Derrick Rose returning to the city to a wave of former Bulls reuniting in the Windy City, the nostalgia meter if going off. Now, another familiar face from one of basketball’s most iconic eras is stepping back into the spotlight, this time in a very different way. Congrats to the Chicago Bulls Ring of Honor Class of 2025 🏆 Bill Cartwright John Paxson Horace Grant Johnny Bach Norm Van Lier Neil Funk pic.twitter.com/1FbC7A94gq ...
Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone spoke to the media before the final game of the UEFA Champions League’s league stage against Bodø/Glimt at the Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Wednesday night. When asked if he was surprised by concern over the lack of incoming transfers, Simeone responded, “that’s a question for you to answer among […]
There’s something off about this team right now and it’s hard to know what it is. No, it is not your typical need-for-a-trade or short tanking slump, this is much deeper than that. Recently, the Nets haven’t gone through highs and lows. It has been lows and lower lows. From getting embarrassed at MSG to […]
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. — This isn’t the first time I’ve written about how Dan Geriot isn’t used to the grind of a college basketball season. Geriot was in the NBA in various roles, including assistant coach for the Cavaliers and Pelicans, over the last 10 years. It’s an 82-game season with constant travel, few practices, […]
Good win although the Celtics seemed to lose focus after that first quarter. Loved that Amari came in and out played their center after they were expecting the opposite. I love Jrue and Timelord. Both are very quality human beings!! I would take either one back in a heartbeat. I'm hoping Rob can stay healthy. Poor Jaylen will never live down the hairline stuff just like Pierce could never live down the wheelchair incident. The game being ug...
Down nine to start the second quarter in Denver, the team readied to go to the most unproductive bench in the league, scoring-wise. Seizing an opportunity in recent games, two-way center Drew Timme checks in for the Lakers in his new spot in the rotation next to fellow big man Deandre Ayton. His impact was […]
After the Miami Heat’s two-point win over the Oklahoma City Thunder earlier this month, Norman Powell pointed to an anonymous stat that the team was attempting to emulate as a mean for success. “We have a goal in mind,” Powell said. “[Head coach Erik Spoelstra] gave us a stat from last year, and we want […] The post How Heat have flipped script in this key phase appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
While we have looked at some of the biggest names in the trade market, including Ja Morant and Michael Porter Jr., there are other avenues Bucks GM Jon Horst could pursue to improve the Bucks this season and beyond. They could look for role players instead of stars, or several players, rather than bringing in […]
Last night, former Tar Heel and current Chicago Bulls guard Coby White caught fire against the Los Angeles Lakers to the tune of 23 points, five rebounds and six assists. While this is more common than not for the Goldsboro native, the significance of this is the fact that he made five of his 10 […]

Derrick Rose at the United Center. LeBron James still terrorizing the Chicago Bulls. We’re back in 2012 again, aren’t we? Last night, the Los Angeles Lakers put on an offensive masterclass against Chicago, knocking the Bulls back to a .500 record. But there’s a jam-packed week ahead. Let’s talk Bulls basketball. There’s a lot you can blame for the loss last night. The inability to stop Luka Dončić from… anything (he put up 46 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds) . Or failin...
Whoever thinks that grown men are above high-school level drama don’t follow the NBA. This season, we’ve already seen a superstar get punched (reportedly) for making fun of an opponent’s contract blunder, and a very mid player demand(!!!) a trade out of what he believes to be a “hostage” situation. Somehow, neither of those stories […]
In this series, we’re looking at the biggest statistical differences between last season and the current one to understand how Celtics players have evolved while wearing the same jersey. Not every role change comes with an identity shift. Sometimes, it comes by filling a need. Neemias Queta’s season reflects that idea. Coming into the year, […]
The Knicks (27*-18) return to Madison Square Garden tonight as heavy favorites against a lowly Kings (12-35) team that spanked New York just two weeks ago. When the teams clashed on January 14, coach Mike Brown’s former club won almost wire-to-wire, beating the Knicks 112–101 behind DeMar DeRozan’s 27 points. DeRozan and OAKAAKUYOAK Precious Achiuwa […]
Wednesday night brings the league phase of the UEFA Champions League to a close, with all 18 matches kicking off at the same time and very little settled. FC Barcelona go into the final round ninth on 13 points, hosting Copenhagen at the Spotify Camp Nou, and the uncomfortable truth is that a win alone […]
The Milwaukee Bucks head east for a road trip that will hopefully end the bad vibes. The first stop is Philadelphia to face the 76ers. Milwaukee lost the previous matchup 116-101 on December 5th; the Bucks didn’t have Giannis then, and won’t have him now. Where We’re At My colleague Morgan said it best in […]
The Knicks led by 17 points with just over eight minutes to go on Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers. After a choppy first half that saw the Knicks get dominated by Joel Embiid and allow the Sixers to shoot 65% from the field, the Knicks had dominated the first 16 minutes of the second half […]
The NBA announced the player pool for the Rising Stars game, and to no one’s surprise, Charlotte Hornets wing Kon Knueppel made the list. Knueppel is battling with Cooper Flagg for rookie of the year. Flagg has slightly better counting stats but Knueppel’s efficiency has been pretty absurd for a guard/wing. On the season, Knueppel […] The post Kon Knueppel named to the Rising Stars game first appeared on At The Hive .
The Long Island Nets returned home court Monday night for a game vs. Motor City Cruise. The game got underway at 7:00 p.m. EST, and early on, it looked as if it wasn’t going to be Long Island’s night. the Nets found themselves down by 16 points, but ultimately they came back to win it, […]
The Washington Wizards signed Skal Labissiere to a 10-day contract, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. Labissiere comes to the Wizards from the Capital City Go-Go, Washington’s G-League affiliate, where he is playing this season. He is averaging 19.0 points and 7.4 rebounds per game this season with Capital City. Labissiere was the No. 28 […]
#1 – Turnovers battle Going into the game, there was one certainty: this game would be about turnovers and taking care of the ball. While the Boston Celtics are among the very best teams at protecting the basketball, the Portland Trail Blazers are the team with the highest turnover rate in the league. Nonetheless, they […]
