Poor Wizards fans. I really do feel for them. Credit to them for still showing up for their team. The poor guy wanting Doc Rivers needs to be careful what he wishes for. Jaylen Brown didn't even play and still got ribbed for his hair flub. They do seem to have a sense of humor about it all. I'm very happy for Jordan Walsh's success. Now it's on to the Lakers and hopefully another win. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? &nb...
If you had written a script on how the Lakers would beat the Raptors, it wouldn’t have been as perfect as what happened on Thursday night. With the game even at 120 and LA with the ball, plenty was on the line. The Lakers were trying to start this road trip with a win. With […]
The Mavericks are in Oklahoma City for a (Prime)time matchup with the Thunder. Dallas has won three in a row, and the Thunder have only lost a single game all year. This will be the Mavericks’ toughest test yet during their win streak, but if history tells us anything, they have a puncher’s chance. Cooper […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on the end of their bench this season, and they are much the better for it. One of two Blazers on NBA 2-way contracts, high-scoring Caleb Love enjoys another distinction: he might be the most maligned star in the league right now. Say what? Yeah, […]
In this week’s Tuesday Tracker, we asked you again about a Doc Rivers firing, potential interim coaches, playoff chances, and record predictions. Here are the highlights: Thanks again for voting! Check back on Tuesday for another slate of questions.
The Nets might not be a good team, but they’ve looked better after every game and even won two in a row this past week. Brooklyn looks like that gritty, smart squad that might just spoil another tank. So, where does Cam Thomas, MPJ, and maybe even Giannis Antetokounmpo fit into all that? Sharif Phillips-Keaton […]
The NBA spent the week weighing two significant developments: Oklahoma City’s 21–1 start and the growing possibility that Giannis Antetokounmpo will be available for trade soon. With OKC leaving sneaker prints all over the league, and trade season starting in just ten days, front offices are pondering what re-tooling can be done to challenge the […]
BOSTON — The Boston Celtics (13-9) and Los Angeles Lakers (16-5) will both be coming off Thursday night wins when they face each other on Friday at TD Garden. The Celtics blew out the Washington Wizards by 45 points, while it took a Rui Hachimura game-winner for the Lakers to beat the Toronto Raptors. But, […]
What a difference a 50-point Murray game makes to start a four-game road trip. Going into Indiana with every starter save Cam… The post Preview: Nuggets soar into Atlanta riding an historic offense appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
When I was a kid, we used to sing “Time is My Friend” by Julie Andrews at assemblies. I didn’t think much of it at the time. At 38, I’m reevaluating my relationship with time. Time is decidedly not my friend. It’s closer to a (literal) mortal enemy. Would a friend ensure that I had […]
The Dallas Mavericks finally have some juice. It’s not a ton, and it may soon run dry, but with so much bad around the team this season feeling that energy has been nice as the calendar hit December. They’ve (sort of) gotten healthier, Anthony Davis is back playing games and this week has been on […]
With the Washington Wizards in the middle of a long rebuild, it is worth looking at former players who have gone onto other teams from time to time. And one recent Wizards player made a big play and also officially ended a long record in the process. Yesterday, the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Toronto […]
After the Miami Heat looked to finally be hitting their stride of a six-game winning streak, they have now lost two out of their last three games. This includes their previous disappointing loss against the struggling Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday. Tyler Herro’s return to the lineup has caused for some inconsistent Heat rotations, compared to […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat travel to Orlando to play in-state rival Magic appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Sugar. Cigarettes. Alcohol. Take your pick. None of them have been enough to ease the wounds of the past fortnight. Still, there were moments—and we can learn from them. Come for a walk; see what you can find. @ Cavs Giannis prophesies that good teams don’t lose two games in a row, and he’s on […]
Given yet another loss to a bad team at home and the reports of the front office shooting down interest from Giannis Antetokounmpo, it hasn’t been the greatest week to be a Bulls fan. Bulls Bullets Let’s start with some bad news. Well, there’s not a whole lot of good news to report from Bulls circles, anyway. But a new and important name was added to the already incredibly lengthy injury report for Billy Donovan’s team this morning. Ayo Dosunmu appeared on the report with a thumb i...
You will believe a rabbit can fly. From 1998 to 2011, Hip-Hop, an aerial slam-dunking rabbit mascot, patrolled the court at the Sixers’ arena. No matter what bank held the naming rights of the joint at the time, Hip-Hop was king, entertaining a generation of Philadelphians from the early Allen Iverson into the franchise’s pre-Process […]
Last weekend, the USA Basketball women’s 3×3 team won the Gold Medal in the 2025 FIBA 3×3 Women’s AmeriCup played in Mexico. The Americans went 5-0 en route to their gold medal. The Americans’ pool play games were on Nov. 28 where the Americans made easy work out of Brazil and Jamaica. On Nov. 30, […]
Gameweek 15 is fast approaching, and selecting the right captain could make all the difference in climbing the ranks. While many managers tend to rely on the same popular choices each week, this round offers a mix of premium, mid-priced, and differential options—each with strong potential to deliver big returns. Below are some of the […]

Karl-Anthony Towns set the tone with a 35-point, 18-rebound performance, while Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart steadied the rotation—just what the doctor ordered after Tuesday’s loss in Boston. Shara Taylor was […]
The Knicks are back on the schedule, and they have another cupcake matchup to take advantage of tonight. New York hosts the Utah Jazz, aiming at putting up their 15th win of the season, something reasonable considering the lads are 11-1 when they hoop inside MSG. Here’s the latest from your superheroes.

Lamine Yamal has been on a clear upward trajectory in recent weeks after struggling with a persistent groin injury that he’s still having to manage, but the teenager looks a lot more comfortable and is back to having the same impact on Barcelona’s matches that he used to have prior to the injury, and his […]
