Sixers need to get back on track against Wizards

Well, that was disappointing. After going on a fun three-game win streak to close out 2025 and begin the new year — picking up wins against the Grizzlies, third-place Knicks, and Cooper Flagg’s Mavs — the Sixers completely fumbled the game they should have won. On Monday, they somehow lost to a hospital Nuggets squad […]

It’s Time to Reset Expectations for the Boston Celtics

The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics are exceeding even the most optimistic expectations. This season was supposed to be a retooling year and a gap year when the Celtics would finally pick inside the top-20 in the NBA Draft, maybe even quietly put their thumb on the scale and stealth-tank their way into the lottery. In hindsight, […]

YouTube Gold: Nate Thurmond Career Highlights

A few years ago, we saw a post saying that only (maybe) four players had ever blocked Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s Sky Hook, but we keep finding other guys who did it. As far as we can remember, Bill Willoughby did it, though it was called goal tending, Bill Walton got one from behind and Wilt Chamberlain […]

The Heat are still struggling to beat good teams

If you witnessed the Miami Heat’s 28-point loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, you likely saw its worst loss of the season to date. But the loss continued a long-standing trend. For most of the season, the Miami Heat have beaten up on bad teams. They’ve flexed their muscle — their fast-paced, relentless offense paired with […] The post The Heat are still struggling to beat good teams appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Anfernee Simons and Celtics found each other at the perfect time

When we’re young and we do poorly on a math test, we start to believe that we’re “bad at math.” We beat ourselves up, wonder why we’re lagging compared to our peers and internalize comments that seem harmless to others but eat at us inside. As we get older, we go to a lower-level class, […]

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Lakers

There’s been plenty of conversation (as usual) around what’s happening in Laker Town. That discussion has revolved around, but certainly has not been limited to, the fit between two ball-dominant stars in Luka Doncic and LeBron James. Even with the fit not being perfect though, and with the 41 year old James looking mortal at […]

Player Grades: Lakers vs. Pelicans

The Lakers didn’t play well, had multiple scoring droughts and trailed in the fourth on Tuesday. But in the end, Luka Dončić and LeBron James were too good for New Orleans to overcome. Playing around with sub-.500 teams and playing just good enough to win isn’t a recipe for long-term success or culture building. However, […]
