The Portland Trail Blazers hold a 10-16 record in their 2025-26 NBA Campaign. Sitting 11th in the Western Conference, looking motivated some nights and confused on others, would normally bring considerations of a reset. But Zach Harper of The Athletic has Portland firmly in the “buyers” department at the opening of NBA Trade Season [subscription […]
The Portland Trail Blazers were given a lot of time to rest this week, playing only the New Orleans Pelicans and Golden State Warriors. They lost to the Pelicans and beat the Warriors, going 1-1 on the week. Through those two games, the Blazer of the Week is Shaedon Sharpe. Sharpe averaged 28.0 points, 3.0 […]
There have been 50 draftees who have played at least five minutes in an NBA game this season. Miami Heat rookie Kasparas Jakucionis, who the franchise drafted No. 20 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, is not one of them. Jakucionis’ lone minute — 54 seconds, to be exact — came in the Heat’s 140-123 […] The post Davion Mitchell raves about Heat rookie: ‘He’s a dawg on both ends’ appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Can the Celtics beat Detroit again? The Detroit Pistons (20-5) sit atop the Eastern Conference and have shown the consistency of a legitimate contender. A few weeks ago, however, Boston (15-10) pulled off a mild upset, defeating Detroit 117-114 at TD Garden during the NBA Cup group phase. The Pistons entered that night riding a […]
It is far from an overreaction to state that the Cleveland Cavaliers are in the midst of a disastrous season. Standing currently at 15-12, based on the past few seasons, one could think they have gone through hell and back to come out that slow. Not at all. Actually, in the past two games, the […]
As we’ve discussed here at BH, December 15th is a key date for the Bucks’ ability to make roster moves. Per the CBA, any player signed this offseason as a free agent can’t be traded for the later date of three months after their signing or today unless they meet certain criteria, which I’ll get […]

Despite what may feel like a repetitive pattern when it comes to the Chicago Bulls, here is one thing that is definitely new around these parts … Me! My name is Joshua Miranda, and I am one of the two new staff writers covering the Bulls for Bleacher Nation. You can read more about me and my professional history in my author bio (or just check in right here on the site every day). I hope we’re going to be good friends. Now that we’ve exchanged some pleasantries, let’s talk Bulls bask...

We’ve got two new Bulls writers to welcome and some new features being rolled out on the Bears category page! Separately, I am extremely sad to hear of Rob Reiner’s tragic death this weekend. His run as a director from 1984-1992 is legendary (This is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, Misery, A ...
Brandon Miller hit a three to send the game to overtime, and there the Charlotte Hornets were able to outlast the Cavaliers.

The New York Knicks have two more pieces now available for dangling in the NBA trade market: Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele. These two, who signed with the Knicks last offseason, are part of a humongous group of performers who did the same across the Association and thus weren’t available for trade until the NBA […]
From 2023-2025, Kaitlin Peterson was a critical member of the UCF Knights Women’s Basketball program.

For years, December 15 has been an important date for basketball sickos. It marks the unofficial start of the NBA’s trade season and makes so many of those failed deals in the trade machine get the green checkmark now. The Lakers’ glaring needs on their roster will make them a frequent name in trade rumors, […]
Dec. 15 is widely known as the official start of trade season, with many players who signed contracts this offseason eligible to be traded as of this date.

It has been nearly one full week since the Miami Heat have last hit the floor.

They have lost a season-worst four games in a row and five […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat host Raptors looking to snap four-game skid appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The modern NBA increasingly prioritizes big ballhandlers and creators, which makes diminutive scoring guards like Jalen Brunson increasingly rare. Spitting in the eye of the trend, the future mayor of New York’s 40-point performance in the NBA Cup semifinal against Orlando gave us further proof of his basketball genius. “He’s got good pace, and he’s […]

A 127-82 disembowelment by the hapless Nets should cost at least one of the Bucks below their jobs, regardless of Giannis being out. And I’m not talking about any player.
