By most measures, the Portland Trail Blazers have had a successful season. They carry a record close to .500 after enduring a mammoth list of injuries. They’re operating without a point guard and they shoot terribly but they still manage middle-of-the-road offensive production. Their defense is decent, their rebounding good. 2025-26 probably won’t go down […]
BOSTON — During what’s become an increasingly dark time in Minnesota, players, coaches, and public figures alike have begun speaking out against the deadly violence carried out by federal immigration agents. On Monday night, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla joined in on the conversation. Before hosting the Trail Blazers at TD Garden to open a four‑game […]
There was nothing flashy about Jaylen Brown’s performance on Monday night. An efficient 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists with only one turnover to his name and four steals to Portland’s, it wasn’t another 30-point scoring masterclass, but it was patient, winning basketball, and it was done against a defensive coverage hellbent on forcing […]
Rui Hachimura’s talent is undeniable. He’s an elite shooter who is converting on 43.9% of his 3-point attempts on the season, making him the best perimeter threat on the Lakers. Recently, though, he’s been struggling. His calf injury forced him to miss seven straight games and upon his return, his production dipped. Hachimura averaged just […]
As you may know, we’ve spent the last few weeks going over trade candidates the Bucks could pursue at the deadline, operating under their reported desire to be buyers before next Thursday’s trade deadline. While there’s been no public indication they’ve changed that stance, Giannis strained his calf again on Friday. a game which capped […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo, the consensus top-five player in the world, former MVP, and NBA champion, has been linked to the Knicks for quite a while now. It started with analysts wondering what Giannis in New York could look like, and slowly, but surely, it evolved into full-blown rumors that both sides were interested. Now, we don’t […]
we really can have no clue as to what they're thinking
The Portland Trail Blazers went 1-2 this week, earning a win over the Miami Heat to start the week, then falling to the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics in the absence of Deni Avdija. During a week where Portland’s offense struggled with consistency, one player really stepped up his performance; this week’s Blazer of the […]
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 […]

Davidson Joins CEBL as Chief Operating Officer
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 […]
