Two 18-7 teams meet in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena tonight when the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs face off in the Emirates NBA Cup Final. The paths that brought them here could not look more different. Practically everyone predicted New York to dominate the Eastern Conference, while most pundits had […]
The biggest 2026 NBA Draft storyline for the Washington Wizards has understandably been about who they will take with their own first round pick. The Wizards currently have the worst record in the NBA and are on track to have a 14% chance at the first overall pick and a 40.1% chance at getting a […]
College basketball produced a great week last week, which lined up nicely with the Dallas Mavericks not playing a game for almost a full week. If you were able to tune into some of the games, you saw elite prospects and teams doing elite things. And although this week appears to be a little lighter […]

The Dallas Mavericks locked up with the Utah Jazz in a high-scoring affair Monday night. Going without Anthony Davis, Dallas welcomed back Daniel Gafford for a bit of help down low. The Mavs unfortunately came unraveled in the final minutes of regulation, losing 140-133 in overtime. Let’s get to the grades! Ryan Nembhard: B+ 14 […]
When ESPN’s NBA crew previewed Tuesday’s NBA Cup Championship between the Knicks and Spurs, they highlighted the obvious carrot: a $500,000 check for each player and coach on the winning side. For max-contract superstars, it’s pocket change. For two-way players grinding to stay in the league, it’s life-changing money. Victor Wembanyama doesn’t need the cash. […]
Never say “things can’t get worse.” I heard this after the Wizards loss two weeks ago. We quote and maybe even take as truth this inherently incorrect statement for whatever reason, perhaps because we don’t fear extinction (truly the worst outcome for humanity). In terms of NBA basketball, well… we’re seeing it now after perhaps […]

On June 25, 1999, the San Antonio Spurs, led by an aging David Robinson and young upstart Tim Duncan, outlasted the Knicks, a scrappy group that became the first No. 8 seed to make the NBA Finals despite losing franchise icon Patrick Ewing to an Achilles tear three weeks prior, in Game 5 of the […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Well, December is here. It’s coming into NBA trade season. The deadline is February 5, so […]
30 teams entered, four faced off in Las Vegas, and now two remain in the battle for the NBA Cup. One, an underdog of sorts that fought tooth and nail to make it here. Another, the favorites in the Eastern Conference, who have plenty of playoff experience. Yet, it seems like it could be anyone’s […]
NEW YORK — In the same way that New York City is the hub of American culture, it has long been the hub of American college basketball. Before Iona existed as an institution, the best college basketball teams in the country would come to Madison Square Garden to show off under the big city lights. […]
Welcome to Week 3 of The Long Forecast on NetsDaily. As each week goes by, more tape on these prospects for the 2026 NBA draft class continues to surface, and they could go down as one of the most talented classes over the past decade. Where do the Nets’ picks sit? Since last week’s column, […]
So! What do you – longtime Missouri fan – know about the football team at the University of Virginia? It’s ok if you don’t know much. Despite playing the sport since 1888 the Cavaliers of Virginia have typically not made a massive national impact with their football. In fact, most of their coaches with winning […]
In Tuesday’s ACC Action, Louisville goes to Tennessee, Florida State visits Dayton, Clemson welcomes the hated Gamecocks, FIU buses over to Miami, Marist jets down to Georgia Tech and East Tennessee drops in on the Heels. The highlight here is obviously #11 Louisville visiting the #20 Vols. Tennessee hasn’t been great so far, but it’s […]
We have reached December 16th, one day after players who were signed in free agency can be included in trade and 52 days until the trade deadline on February 5th. For the Hawks, they have two players who meet the former criterium: Nickeil Alexander-Walker (highly unlikely to be traded given his production and contract length) […]
More things have gone right than not thus far during the 2025-26 season for the Philadelphia 76ers, as we have plenty of positive takeaways from the team’s 14-11 start. One situation that we would call underwhelming or disappointing, though, is Jared McCain’s sophomore season. With 16 games now under his belt, the former Duke Blue […]
Watch this: Now watch it again. There is so much data in here it is hard to digest in one sitting. One thing is clear, there has never been another player like Victor Wembayama. That is not news, but exactly how he impacts every aspect of the game is now quantifiable. We’ve seen how Wemby […]
Big Bird made the fewest appearances and played the fewest minutes since he ascended to the First Team in 2019. We can only guess how many goals involvements – and wins – he would have contributed to this New York City FC squad in 2025.
Good morning, it’s Tuesday, December 16. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 15-12 and don’t play again until Wednesday. Let’s look ahead at today’s slate of NBA games. Today’s game of the day Okay, there is only one NBA game on today, so there wasn’t exactly much of a choice. But this game has everything you could […]
1. Ice Cold Shooting Much like the temperatures outside on a cold December night in Boston, the Celtics shooting was incredibly ice cold, especially from three, and that turned out to be the great equalizer that led to their loss to the Pistons. The Celtics as a team struggled from three point range as they […]
Cooper Flagg, as most Duke fans probably know, got off to a bit of a slow start as an NBA rookie. The Mavericks started him off at point guard and while he did okay there, it was asking a lot of an 18-year-0ld rookie and people started to say he was overrated. They’re not saying […]
BOSTON — The clock turned back more than 30 years throughout Monday night’s Celtics–Pistons clash. Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart (not Thomas) made it clear what the plan was: go right after Boston, physically. In the third quarter, with 5:01 remaining and standing next to Jaylen Brown while awaiting an Ausar Thompson free-throw attempt, Stewart wrestled with […]
This was mostly a good game. The Rockets didn’t look great for much of it, but they fought hard. It was a competitive back and forth affair, where the lead shifted back and fourth and neither team could open up much daylight without the other coming back. The last three minutes of the fourth quarter […]
