The last few months of the Giannis Antetokounmpo saga in Milwaukee have played out like a girl picking a flower, wondering whether her crush loves her or not. It’s been the worst-kept secret in the NBA. One of the best players in basketball has been the victim of poor roster construction around him for the […]
The Good The good, you ask? The good news is that the Big Ten opener against Purdue at home and the Michigan game on the road are over. With upcoming games against Seton Hall, Penn, and Delaware State, Rutgers has three weeks to figure out a starting rotation and improve. The Bad It can be […]
It’s clear the Sixers are not built for The Cup … and it’s the best thing for them. With the knockout stage of the Emirates NBA Cup set to start, the teams that didn’t qualify will get a nice break from the rigors of an 82-game schedule. The Sixers will have four days off before […]
Another good win for the Celtics. And yet another fanbase that trashes just about everyone on their own team. Good to see all the love for White, Walsh, Queta, Brown and Pritchard though. Also a lot of love for Joe Mazzulla and Brad Stevens. The comment about winning and losing habits was so true. That's why tanking bothers me. The comment about a black hole being historically dominant on defense gave me a chuckle. My favorites are in bold...
The Winter Meetings are currently underway in Orlando. Yesterday, we hilariously saw Jeff Kent elected to the Hall of Fame by the Contemporary Era Committee, a development that may bode very well for Dustin Pedroia (seriously, go compare their stats side-by-side). Tomorrow the draft lottery takes center stage, while the Rule 5 Draft is on […]
I went to gander at the most recent Lounge post and wouldn’t you know it… there are 900 comments. So thank you for hanging out. Someone email me if it gets to 500 or so, I’ll make a new one. I know the comments sort of break at that volume. Here we are, six days […]
#1 – Queta generated 19 points through screens Neemias Queta might be the best screener in the NBA at the moment. At least, looking at this chart, he is the player with the most points via screen assists relative to his playing time. Last night, he helped the Celtics score 19 points with his screens, […]
Ryan Nembhard, the undrafted two-way point guard out of Gonzaga who has darted up the Dallas Mavericks’ depth chart all the way to the role of starting point guard, is the feel-good story of the Mavs’ 2025-26 season, no doubt. From draft night in June, when he watched all 30 teams, most of them twice, […]

The Knicks played basketball on Sunday and beat Orlando inside Madison Square Garden, moving up to 16-7 and a pretty pristine 13-1 record playing home.

Coming off three losses in a row from the Raptors, victory is not exactly at the forefront of the minds of the Toronto faithful. The NBA Cup knockout game against New York could look very different, especially if RJ Barrett makes a comeback. What if the boys in red take it all the way and […]

I simply loved this post: Devin says it best, you never know the impact you have on someone’s life. The Spurs are wonderful art spreading holiday cheer, giving back to the community, and making days brighter for many, many people. And although they make a concerted effort during the holiday season when so many are […]

Boston has now won 10 of its last 12 games and boasts the league’s best offensive rating over that span. Jaylen Brown has continued to set the tone for the Celtics, […]
Rick Barry was legitimately a great player who almost no one could stand. Yet he was truly, truly elite. Barry played at Miami, averaging 37.4 ppg from 1962-65. He was drafted by the San Francisco Warriors (now Golden State Warriors and played there from 1965 to 1967 before trying to jump to the ABA after […]
Although Kevin Durant is easily one of the game’s greatest players to ever lace up his sneakers, he’s faced a myriad of criticism over the years. Well, mainly on two fronts. And both are pretty baseless. (And no, I’m not biased.) Durant has drawn the “team-hopper” moniker, which is par for the course in sports […]
Since Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier was placed on immediate leave amid an illegal gambling probe under investigation by the FBI, there has been essentially nothing to suggest that an end is on the precipice. Can we dream? Perhaps. Does that make it reality? No. As they approach the deadline, Rozier’s $26.6 million salary complicates […] The post It remains unclear whether Heat can trade Terry Rozier or not appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
