The Cleveland Cavaliers have struggled against their last two subpar opponents. The Chicago Bulls are better than the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets, but are still a team that, on paper, the Cavs should be able to handle. The offensive side of the ball let Cleveland down in their overtime loss to Charlotte. As has […]
UPDATE: Tuesday, Dec. 16, 8:45 p.m. ET It keeps getting stranger. The NBA Referees X account is back at it again on Tuesday night with another “explanation” regarding this situation. I put explanation in quotes because… well, you tell me how much this helps explain for you. This post only raises more questions than it […]
Since Nike became the NBA’s official jersey partner in 2017, the Utah Jazz have seen a total of 16 new jerseys. Some are among the greatest the NBA have ever seen, and others are an abomination to the sport of basketball. For no particular reason, I’ve decided to rank every single Utah Jazz jersey in […]
NBA commissioner Adam Silver addressed reporters in Las Vegas, Nev., on Friday to discuss a variety of topics.

Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. It’s tempting to think that the Spurs won the cup on […]
The NBA Cup concludes tonight with a showdown between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs in Las Vegas.

Fifth-year reserve Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu has been missed while sitting out the team’s last two contests with thumb injuries, and has now taken the time to provide an update on the extent of the problem. Or, more concerningly, problems. Per K.C. Johnson of Chicago Sports Network , Dosunmu has revealed that both his thumbs are sprained. While he asserts that his left thumb is more painful, he is also dealing with a bone bruise in his right thumb. The 6-foot-4 University of Illinoi...
They say giving is the best part of Christmas and it seems that Luka Dončić agrees with that sentiment. Luka has shown his generous side multiple times already during his 11 months as a Laker.

There’s no need to rehash my feelings about the Cup from Saturday night. I hate it. My feelings are that this carries the same level of importance as a Summer League championship, with the exception being the names representing the Knicks during tonight’s matchup. Judging by the response to my last post, most of our […]

A lot of Rockets fans just witnessed their first full, top-down rebuild. Some of us have been here before. When the Rockets’ geriatric Olajuwon/Barkley/Pippen trio finally got put to pasture, the team’s future was unclear. Had Steve Francis not rejected Vancouver (a beautiful city, as long as you’re not in the DTES), who knows what […]

Despite having a 20-point advantage at one point, the Lakers were down by one late in Sunday’s game against the Suns thanks to Dillon Brooks hitting a 3-pointer with just 12.2 seconds left. With Brooks being his typical villain self, he made another bone-headed play by unnecessarily bumping LeBron James to not only put the […]

The roster features numerous legends, including Damon Stoudamire, Bonzi […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are almost exactly one-third of the way through their 2025-26 regular season schedule. A 10-16 record doesn’t look as good as they’d hoped at this point in the season, but injuries have played a part, and six games under .500 isn’t an insurmountable deficit. Still, it’s fair to call the beginning […]
