The New York Knicks sit third in the Eastern conference, third in the league in offensive rating and third in offensive rebounds, having committed the third-fewest turnovers. Jalen Brunson just returned from a twisted ankle that made him the third Knick starter to miss a game already, joining OG Anunoby and Frankenstein fifth-starter Jotchell McHartinson. […]
The Dallas Mavericks announced Thursday that guard Dante Exum, “has continued to deal with complications”, stemming from an offseason surgery on his right knee. Those complications now necessitate a second surgery, which will force him to miss the remainder of the season. Exum was signed this offseason to a new $3.3-million deal. He was never […]
Look, losing can do some weird things to you. Believe me, I’ve been there as a fan, especially of the Kentucky Wildcats and the Cincinnati Bengals. Try being the head coach of Kentucky basketball, a program you played for and won the national championship with in 1996, playing for Rick Pitino. Losing can do some […]
There is never a boring day in the NBA. ESPN’s Shams Charania broke some surprising news on Thursday afternoon, sharing that the Los Angeles Lakers have fired two members of the Buss family. Joey and Jesse, two of Jerry’s four sons, will no longer hold their respective front office positions. Each has held a scouting role with the franchise over the last decade. Charania shared a statement from the two brothers regarding the organization’s change: “We are extremely honored to ha...

The Portland Trail Blazers lost a heartbreaking game to the Chicago Bulls last night, falling to a dagger three-pointer after mounting a 20-point comeback in the fourth quarter. It’s possible that pain is just part of being a Blazers fan. Pain seldom goes unremarked, though. After a promising 4-2 start to the season, the Blazers […]
Isaac Humphries came out publicly as gay in the National Basketball League 3 years ago. He reflects on that journey and what came before. The post National Basketball League’s 1st out gay player turns his near-heartbreak into life-saving hope appeared first on Outsports .
Through the first month of the 2025-26 NBA season, Deandre Ayton is looking like one of the biggest steals of the summer. The Lakers split their $14.1 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception between Ayton ($8.1 million) and Jake LaRavia ($6.0 million), both of which seem like home runs early on. Ayton already has seven double-doubles in […]
Good news: the Knicks are no longer winless away from Madison Square Garden. Bad news: they did it by narrowly surviving a severely shorthanded, mediocre Mavericks team with a horrendous shooting night, including 16 missed free throws, and on a controversial offensive foul. Against anyone else, the Knicks lose that game. Aside from bursts by […]
It’s been quite a week for the Toronto Raptors. They have won their last five games in a row, completed a pair of gritty, close wins, and are now second in the Eastern Conference. They only trail the Detroit Pistons, who are on an 11-game heater and sit three games above Toronto in the top […]
I have been so busy the last couple of weeks that (in an extremely rare occurrence), I wasn’t able to watch the Spurs-Kings game live on Tuesday and may be at risk of missing tonight’s game. Currently, if I’m not at work, you can find me helping my sister prepare for the grand opening of […]
NEW YORK — As quickly as Jordan Walsh became the revelation of this Celtics season, he slid aside to make room for a Josh Minott spark and Sam Hauser closing effort in the second half of the Celtics’ win over the Nets on Wednesday. Joe Mazzulla’s message to take each lineup and rotation with a […]
In the wise words of Horton Hears a Who, “a win is a win … no matter how ugly.” It goes something like that, right? NIKOLA VUCEVIC GAME-WINNING BUZZER BEATER ALERT!! Let’s be honest, the Chicago Bulls didn’t deserve to win that game. They let an inferior Portland Trail Blazers team – with multiple rotation players on the injury report – erase a 21-point lead over the final 9 minutes of action. Struggling to close things out against superstars is one thing. Strugg...
Michael Porter Jr. is having a very good couple of weeks. For the first time in his career, he’s put up seven straight games of 20 points or more. In that stretch, he’s also twice set personal best for assists, showing off passing skills his former assistant coach in Denver knew he had. Moreover, the […]
The Dallas Mavericks dropped a close one to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, falling 113-111. The Knicks were seeking their first road win of the season, and Dallas unfortunately accommodated them in a winnable game that came down to an offensive foul call on what could have been a game winning play if […]
My name is Seedy K, and I’m a hoopaholic. Wednesday was another night of compelling hoops, including a righteous effort in South Bend by those lads from Norris Place. For a junkie like me, it doesn’t take much. And I shall weigh in on that and other matters of the sport that consume me. But […]
Northwestern heads to West Virginia this weekend for its biggest test of the young season, matching up against the Virginia Cavaliers and the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Greenbrier Tip-Off. NU enters the showcase 4-0 after an 81-79 nail-biting victory against DePaul last Friday, led by the terrific play of Nick Martinelli and Arrinten Page. […]
Syracuse men’s basketball barely escaped the Monmouth Hawks with a 78-73 victory on Tuesday at the JMA Wireless Dome, but the Orange win was in near-constant danger, threatened by a volley of missed free throws. Struggles at the charity stripe were constant throughout the contest, but they were particularly glaring in the final minutes of […]
The Bucks stink at defending the pick-and-roll. Any time an opponent runs the action right now, it’s basically an automatic bucket. The stats are mind-bending. Milwaukee is allowing a league-worst 64.6% roll man scoring frequency, which equates to 1.35 points per possession. For reference, the two worst transition defenses, Sacramento and Washington, are giving up […]
The Wizards lost their 12th straight game, but their improved effort was noticeable. Greg Finberg recapped a near-27-point comeback against the Timberwolves, highlighted the impressive play of Kyshawn George and discussed Tristan Vukcevic’s poor defense. Enjoy! Watch on YouTube:

But, just a few minutes into their time at Brighton Bowl, the unexpected arrivals began. First, former Celtics champion Leon Powe arrived, alongside Celtics mascot Lucky and […]
Colts vs. Chiefs have provided great Colts moments! Pacers WIN! IU v Lindy tonight 6p!
This game didn’t look close at the end. It didn’t look close in the middle, but due to some spectacularly awkward play by the Rockets in the third quarter, it was close up until the end. This was a game of extremes. Mostly extremes of baffling basketball and shooting dry spells. Both the Rockets and […]
