When the Cleveland Cavaliers decided to trade away Isaac Okoro for Lonzo Ball, it was viewed as the Cavaliers making a swing to solidify their bench minutes for the postseason. While Isaac Okoro was a player who gradually improved over the course of his five-year career with the Cavaliers, he was never someone who could […]

BOSTON — On paper, Celtics forwards Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez don’t have a ton in common. Scheierman is a 25-year-old from Nebraska; Gonzalez is a 19-year-old from Madrid. But the Celtics’ two most recent first-round draft picks have quickly formed a great friendship apparent to anyone who steps foot into the Celtics locker room […]

The good news is Joel Embiid, who’s missed the last two games because of an illness and right knee injury management, is listed as probable against the Brooklyn Nets Tuesday. Head coach Nick Nurse said Embiid practiced fully on Monday and that he looked better and reported feeling […]
What a game by Joe Mazzulla and the Celtics. The comment that said that they were spoiled by the starters playing like meh were right on. The starters were not giving any effort on defense and were playing like they expected to win without any effort. Kudos to Joe for benching them and kudos to the bench guys for bringing the effort and energy especially on defense. Also to the starters for bringing it when they came back in. My favorites are in bold. ...

Let’s take a moment and remember the Colson Montgomery of just nine months ago. His year started with a prospect report from FanGraphs in which the very first sentence was, “Montgomery is in a free fall.” It was more scathing than a Pitchfork review of Raffi’s “Bananaphone.” Things got worse when the season started. Montgomery […]
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go. Especially the green-lettered “W3” streak sitting next to the red Chicago Bulls logo in the NBA standings — that’s my idea of festive decoration. And tonight, among a slate of games as long as the naughty list, I’ve checked it twice to make sure I’m ready to watch the Josh Giddey Bulls take on the Atlanta Hawks in a bit of a Christmas rematch. Let’s talk Bulls basketball. For the second time in four games, the Chicago Bul...
