Twenty games in, the Portland Trail Blazers have just about reached the quarter-mark of the long NBA season. With an 8-12 record made up of some exhilarating highs and crushing lows, Portland is sitting in the Play-in race as the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference. The Blazers have stayed competitive all season, even […]
When the Miami Heat acquired Norman Powell in a three-team trade this past summer, it was pretty clear instantly that Pat Riley pulled off another fleece acquisition. And that notion has only intensified as Powell is in the midst of another career year in South Beach. He is the Heat’s leading scorer, and has provided […] The post Clippers were shown firsthand just how lopsided their Norman Powell trade really was appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Yes, we all know the game result was an unmitigated disaster. But Steve did some amazing work where the scarlet and cream of Nebraska against the yellow and black of Iowa really made the uniform colors pop in the shots below. Throw in some occasional snow and it really makes for a gallery worth checking […]
Mikal Bridges’ inaugural season as a member of the New York Knicks was disappointing in a lot of different ways. Bridges had a few bright spots highlighted by his Christmas Day explosion and the pair of game-winning defensive plays he made against the Celtics in the second round of the playoffs. But the overwhelming majority […]
Get ready for an exciting Tuesday night in San Francisco, where the Thunder vs Warriors cap off a loaded NBA slate at the Chase Center. On one side, you have the seemingly unbeatable OKC Thunder, winners of 20 of their first 21 games. On the other, are the barely above .500 Golden State Warriors, just looking to stay afloat. Will SGA and the Thunder continue their historical start to the season? Or can the Curry-less Warriors draw up an epic upset on their home court? Let’s take a peek at the ...
The Celtics will be fully healthy (minus Jayson Tatum) when they face the New York Knicks on Tuesday night at TD Garden. Derrick White (right calf contusion) and Neemias Queta (left ankle sprain) both missed Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers and were listed as probable for Tuesday’s game. But on Tuesday morning, the Celtics […]
I think it’s safe to say that the vast majority of Bucks fans are fed up with the underachievement that’s defined this year’s squad and that we’ve seen at times during Doc Rivers’ tenure. Given the situation when he was hired, there was an argument for bringing him on: the locker room had turned on […]
The Mavericks were 2-1 this past week and moved to 12th place in the West. They split their trip to Los Angeles by losing to the Lakers (129-119) and beating the Clippers (114-110) before beating the Nuggets in Denver Monday night (131-121). Cooper Flagg led the team in scoring over the last week with 24 […]
After spending the better part of the last three weeks in Los Angeles, the Lakers are set for a short but intense road trip out east. Not only is the team making the flight across the country, but they’ll be playing three games in four nights, starting with a back-to-back in Toronto and Boston before […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are facing off against the Toronto Raptors on the road to kick off a long five-game road trip. With losses in two straight games to the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder, the Blazers are looking to rebound with a win. However, the Raptors have been one of the NBA’s […]
Welcome to the second quarter of the season! Blowing the lead in Charlotte on Saturday, then getting blown out in New York on Sunday should not change your opinion on how the Raptors performed over the first 21 games. By winning 2 of every 3 games and getting the 14th victory two months (or 27 […]
On today’s show, Ryan Eichten and Leo Sun break down the Minnesota Timberwolves winning two games in as many nights on Thanksgiving weekend, as well as trying to figure out what’s going so wrong for this team late in close games. — The Timberwolves beat the San Antonio Spurs 125-112, outscoring them by 17 points in […]
Let’s make this clear right up front: the Mavericks are objectively not a good team right now. They are 7-15 and in sole possession of 12th place in a Western Conference that is actually facing a down year relative to recent seasons. They are 23rd in net-rating according to Cleaning the Glass, and they are […]
The only thing Joe Mazzulla was missing at the podium Saturday night was Bill Belichick’s signature sleeveless hoodie as he channeled his inner NFL head coach in Minnesota. Once it became time to sit, glance over at the box score, and reassess everything that went wrong in Boston’s 119-115 defeat, Mazzulla carefully aired grievances with […]
The Boston Celtics were able to bounce back from a tight loss in Minnesota vs the Timberwolves with an even tighter win in Cleveland vs the Cavaliers. In the absence of Derrick White, Payton Pritchard had a monster game putting up 42 points on 68% shooting from the field. Over the years, the Celtics […]
Jordan Walsh played the best game of his young career against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday night. Walsh has now started seven consecutive games for the Celtics and appears to be growing in confidence with each start. The 21-year-old rangy wing did it all on a night that the Celtics were supposed to be dead […]
DraftKings’ King of the Court promotion gives you a different way to evaluate an NBA slate because the entire contest revolves around one question. Which player will finish the night with the highest combined total of points, rebounds, and assists across all games. You are not competing through a lineup build. You are not stacking games. You are simply choosing the one player who posts the biggest PRA number. DraftKings splits a large bonus bet prize pool among everyone who picks the corr...
New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson, along with his old Mavericks running mate and current Los Angeles Lakers leader Luka Doncic, has been named NBA Player of the Week for Week 6 of the 2025–26 season, putting a strong finish on November for the Knicks. Brunson put together a big-time stretch, averaging 28.8 points […]

The Toronto Raptors return to the Scotiabank Arena for the start of a five-game homestand with a matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST on TSN. A combination of poor shooting and defensive mishaps resulted in the Raptors dropping their last two games against the New York […]
The Brooklyn Nets are 4-16, good for only the fourth-worst record in the grotesquely crowded bottom of the league. But over this past weekend’s back-to-back against the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks, Egor Dëmin, Danny Wolf, and Ben Saraf each had his best NBA game yet. And Monday night’s win over the Charlotte Hornets was […]
What could (and should) be the final nail in the coffin of Doc Rivers’ head coaching tenure with the Bucks has just been hammered. Things have gone from bad to worse in this short season for the Bucks. After an 8-5 start that saw them in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff race, the […]
The New York Knicks (13–6) brave the snow to visit TD Garden tonight for their second meeting of the season with the Boston Celtics (11–9). Our heroes arrive in Beantown riding a four-game streak, including Sunday’s 116–94 dismantling of Toronto. New York took the first matchup versus Boston back in October with a 105–95 win. […]
BOSTON — Xavier Tillman has never, ever been the quiet guy in a room. “For as long as I’ve been alive, I’ve been known as a talker,” Tillman said. “You ask my mom and my siblings, I’ve always been a talker. I’ve always felt comfortable enough to speak my opinion. Whether you take it or […]
