The Chicago Bulls keep turning heads.
Entering the season with their sights set largely on development, expectations for the organization were rather low. Many sportsbooks and analysts projected the team to finish with a win total in the low 30s, presumably ending their Play-In Tournament streak by missing the postseason altogether. To be sure, we can’t rule this out only four games into the regular season, but early indications are that the Bulls could be on the brink of their best seaso...

The Houston Rockets have struggled to get their offense into gear. Last year’s team wasn’t necessarily world-beaters on that end of the floor, but they were much better, even without Kevin Durant, one of the game’s greatest scorers ever. Even with the same double-big lineup, although Jabari Smith Jr. wasn’t a permanent starter, as the […]

On Thursday, the Colorado Avalance signed forward Martin Nečas to a blockbuster contract. The deal is reportedly an eight-year, $92M extension ($11.5M AAV).

In the Boston Celtics season opener, they lost a heartbreaker to the Philadelphia 76ers, a one-point loss in which Payton Pritchard wasn’t able to convert on either of the two game-winning shot attempts he had. Payton obviously wasn’t happy with the end result, not only for missing the shots, but also for not finding one […]

While Austin Reaves has certainly made it easier to stomach over the past week, Luka Dončić’s absence is still a big loss for the Lakers for obvious reasons. After starting the year red-hot himself, only a Herculean effort from Reaves has made the loss of Luka sting a little less in recent games. Dončić sprained […]

Trash talk is a way of life in sports. Players say things at each other. Fans say things at players. And Players sometimes react to the fans. Yesterday, after the Washington Wizards lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in overtime, the 76ers reacted and trolled a Wizards fan wearing a Jordan Poole jersey. Poole now plays […]

Great win for the Celtics. It's funny to watch the Cavs fans being sure of a win at first and then trashing their whole team at the end and wanting Queta and Garza on their team. The Celtics big man rotation might not be as bad as everyone thinks. Once again so much complaining about the refs giving the Celtics the game when both teams shot 24 free throws. I also don't get the Doris Burke hate. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? I'm nervous about goin...
