He averages 42.3 percent from three through 16 seasons in the NBA. 95.3 on free throws. Steph Curry is widely considered the best shooter in NBA history, and yet he calls his old splash brother’s form the one to emulate. On the latest episode of the “Mind the Game” podcast with Steve Nash and LeBron […]
Seven different Spurs scored in double digits in a balanced offensive attack that saw the Spurs fall short to the Los Angeles Lakers. Victor Wembanyama led the team with 19 points and 8 rebounds, while Stephon Castle and Jeremy Sochan contributed 16 points apiece. It was a hard-fought loss, but Mama said there would be […]
The Knicks beat the Wolves on Wednesday and the man of the minute was none other than Mitchell Robinson. Mitchy Ain’t No Snitchy! Here’s what he heard from Coach Brown and a few other Knickerbockers before and after yesterday’s trouncing. Mike Brown On the Timberwolves: “We’re preparing like he’s gonna play, but it’s a really […]
It was good to see the Celtics get a big win. I love Payton Pritchard and I agree with the comment that it's not at all random when he has a big game. I also really like Josh Minott. When Drew or Scal said "Josh Minott doing Josh Minott things," it reminded me of Marcus Smart. Watching him do Marcus Smart things for LA hurts my heart. I miss him. Jaylen Brown is never going to live down the hairline memes. My favorites are in bold. Wh...
As frustrating as Tuesday night might have been for Sixers fans, and as disappointing as it is to drop both games of a back-to-back, Philly is off to about as good a start as fans could have asked for. The Sixers return home at 5-3, with a couple of those wins coming over Boston and […]
“Be disciplined to be disciplined to like and embrace the boring.” Those words echoed throughout basketball cyberspace after the San Antonio Spurs dismantled the Dallas Mavericks on opening night. Flash forward a few weeks, and it doesn’t seem like Mitch Johnson’s words have necessarily stuck with his young team. The Spurs beat themselves on Wednesday […]
Payton Pritchard hasn’t quite looked like himself lately, and that’s OK. The reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year, poised to make his latest career leap with increased responsibility as one of the top-3 premier scorers in the 2025-26 Celtics lineup, hasn’t been able to rely on his greatest offensive strength: his 3-point shot. Pritchard […]
After one of the ugliest losses in recent memory, the Boston Celtics got a much needed get-right win vs the Washington Wizards 136-107 in TD Garden. Here are 10 takeaways from the win: #1 – Jaylen Brown’s Historic Night Call him The Grave Digger, The Energy Shifter, or just JB, no matter the name; […]
The NBA has been back for a few weeks, but starting this week, basketball fans have a chance to see the league’s future in action as well. The college basketball season officially tipped off Monday. We’ve received a taste of potential NBA stars in televised exhibition games the last few weeks, but now the games […]
The Florida Panthers (6-6-1) continue their western swing tonight at Crypto.com Arena where they will pay their one and only regular season visit to the Los Angeles Kings (6-4-4), who are currently holding down fourth place in the Pacific Division. Florida opened its four-game road trip with a thud, collapsing late and losing 7-3 to Cutter Gauthier, who delivered his first career hat trick, and the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. The Panthers held a 3-2 lead midway through the game, only to see...
Arne Slot has admitted that it would have been “tough” for Trent Alexander-Arnold to lose on his first return to Anfield as an opposition player but insisted the right-back will always hold a special place in his heart. There was no surprise that the atmosphere inside Anfield was charged long before kick-off. The return of […] The post Arne Slot makes tough Trent Alexander-Arnold claim immediately after beating Real Madrid appeared first on Paisley Gates .
Jason Kidd may not think the boat is burning after the Dallas Mavericks (2-6) suffered the team’s latest loss, at home on Wednesday, 101-99, to the New Orleans Pelicans, who were down three of their top players and on the second end of a back-to-back set. But it’s certainly is starting to smell like smoke […]
For 12 minutes, the Washington Wizards looked alright. They dashed out to a 12-point lead, closed the first quarter up 11, and the Celtics’ broadcast team fretted about Boston’s three-point bricklaying. When Boston missed their eighth straight three — I didn’t doublecheck, but I think all eight were open or wide-open — I said aloud […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers had their most impressive offensive showing of the season in their 132-121 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. Darius Garland solves a lot of the offensive issues. The ball was moving around during his initial stint in the first quarter in a way it hasn’t all season. So much so, that it led […]
BOSTON — It’s been an up-and-down start to the season for the Boston Celtics so far, who dropped their first three games of the season and entered Tuesday night riding another two-game losing streak. But, against the Washington Wizards, they righted the ship, earning a 136-107 win after a monster second quarter turned a 12-point […]

LOS ANGELES – After losing in the playoffs in five games against the Wolves, it was clear the Lakers needed an upgrade at the center position. The franchise viewed Deandre Ayton as a solution to their frontcourt problem and signed him in the offseason. But could he live up to his potential in LA, or would […]
Following their first loss of the season, the Spurs had work to do. Phoenix had concocted a scheme that exposed San Antonio’s lack of shooting while also limiting Wemby’s offense, forcing the good guys to adjust. The Spurs did exactly that Wednesday night – to start, at least. From the tip, LA employed a similar […]
That makes five wins in a row after the two losses to start the season. Perhaps the Rockets weren’t doomed after all? In any case, in a game where Kevin Durant shot poorly, and Alperen Sengun merely had a good game, the Rockets won comfortably. Amen Thompson was great. Tari Eason continues to make nearly […]
The Portland Trail Blazers erased a 22-point deficit to hand the Oklahoma City Thunder their first loss of the season on Wednesday night at the Moda Center. Deni Avdija overcame a slow start to lead the Blazers with 26 points, 10 rebounds, and nine assists. Veteran guard Jrue Holiday made six 3-pointers en route to […]
Even graded on a curve, the Dallas Mavericks’ 101-99 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday at American Airlines Center was a particularly ugly one. Dallas (2-6) shot just 6-of-22 (27.3%) from the floor in the first quarter. They shot 2-for-12 in the paint through the first quarter and a half of the game. […]
Tonight, Donovan Mitchell put together one of his best performances in a Cleveland Cavaliers uniform — all because an opponent on NBA 2K told him he was ‘washed up’ just hours before the game. “This kid pissed me off today,” Mitchell said after the game. “I was playing 2K for like two hours… and he […]
Teams have learned that the best chance of stopping the Spurs is to send waves of defenders at Victor Wembanyama and wear him out as he tries to fight through a forest of defenders to get to the basket. The Spurs haven’t found the answer for that strategy, which resulted in a fifth foul on […]
During the first half of Wednesday night’s 122-112 loss to the Denver Nuggets, the Miami Heat were dealt a massive blow with Bam Adebayo exiting the game with a left foot injury. Adebayo was injured after taking a step during a pitch back to guard Norman Powell in transition. He hobbled off the court and […] The post Bam Adebayo provides injury update after loss to Nuggets appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
It wasn’t easy, but the Lakers rallied back in the fourth to beat the Spurs 118-117 to extend their winning streak to five. Late in the fourth, the Lakers looked like they were in perfect position to win, until a costly turnover from Marcus Smart and a foul call on Jake LaRavia nearly choked away […]
