The shot, a three-pointer from the right wing, looked like nine of the first 10 VJ Edgecombe attempted Tuesday night. Which is to say, it appeared to have no shot at all. “It hit back rim,” the Sixers’ rookie said. “I was like, ‘Ahhh.’” Then the ball bounced high in the air. “I was like, ‘OK, maybe […]
Trotsky. Ceaușescu. Khrushchev. Sadat. Gorbachev. Hussein. Gaddafi. And now, Harrison. Figureheads come and figureheads go, am I right, comrades? But the Great Eagle, immutable, clean and bright, continues to soar overhead. We here at the Great Adelsonian Politburo, and in particular those of us in the upper echelon of the Mavericks State Media Apparatus, wish […]
In a preview before Friday night’s NBA Cup game, the 7-4 Milwaukee Bucks head to the Spectrum Center to take on Rookie of the Year candidate Kon Knueppel and the 3-7 Charlotte Hornets. The Bucks have shown a tendency to play to their opponent’s level—good and bad—so tonight’s game is a chance to right that […]
Rather than ride the momentum of a second straight road win, the Celtics left Philadelphia reflecting on a missed opportunity on Tuesday night. Hours before tip-off, word broke that 76ers star Joel Embiid would sit out Philadelphia’s rivalry matchup with Boston due to right knee soreness, giving the Celtics an immediate advantage. But instead of […]
For nearly three quarters in Chicago on Monday, Victor Wembanyama looked ordinary – well, at least for his extraordinary standards. The 7-foot-5 forward moved carefully, probing but never truly penetrating the Chicago Bulls’ defense. He came into the game on a slump, averaging just around 17 points per game over the previous three games. His […]
The Denver Nuggets – on the second night of a back-to-back – head into Los Angeles to face the Clippers tonight. Denver took the… The post Preview: Nuggets head into LA on no rest to face the Clippers appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
Former NBA Executive Al Whitley Joins Brampton as Chief Executive Officer
Cooper Flagg has had an interesting few days. First, he had a breakout game at Milwaukee on Monday. Then, Tuesday morning, the Dallas Mavericks fired GM Nico Harrison. After that, Flagg’s mother, Kelly, posted some comments after the firing that were misconstrued (she clarified what she meant). And he also has his first NBA injury. […]
After a promising rookie season, Justin Edwards came back and had a bad summer league. He had a bad preseason as well — so much so that he was essentially out of the rotation by the time the regular season started, despite two forwards in Paul George and Trendon Watford not being healthy for opening […]
With a chunk of the season complete, it’s time to take stock of a pair of assets for this upcoming offseason. The Hawks sit at 6-5 despite losing Trae Young in the fifth game of the season due to a knee sprain. It will take time to write the story of this season on the […]
The Mavericks were 1-3 this past week, and remain in 14th place in the West. The lone win came against Washington (111-105), while the three losses came in Memphis (118-104) and at home to New Orleans (101-99) and Milwaukee (116-113). Cooper Flagg, for the first time in his young career, led the team in scoring […]
In another offbeat Spurs video, the team was asked which mode of travel they’d utilize to go fromSan Antonio to Austin if a car was not an option. Horse seems to be the go-to answer. But helicopter makes a lot of sense. Loved that Luke Kornet was thinking of building a canoe and using a […]
When digesting a season like the Utah Jazz are beginning to embark upon, it’s important to take the moments bite by bite, rather than in one giant mouthful. Utah will not win many games this year — that’s a given, and a point that’s been beaten to death at this point — and the remedy […]
Allen Iverson made an appearance on the Stephen A. Smith show last month, and Smith asked the former Philadelphia 76ers superstar which current NBA players he would’ve played with if he could. After naming Shaquille O’Neal, Joel Embiid, and Nikola Jokic, Iverson made a pick that shocked Smith, but will delight Dallas Mavericks fans. “Luka,” […]
Former Mavericks head coach Richie Adubato has died, according to a statement from his family over the weekend. He was 87. Adubato compiled a 106-228 record at the Mavericks’ helm from 1989-93 after serving as an assistant for head coaches Dick Motta and John Macleod starting in 1986. The New Jersey native was a head […]

On the surface, Noah Clowney’s third NBA season doesn’t look much different from his disappointing sophomore season. After posting per-game averages of 9/4/1 on 51.6% true shooting last season, he’s at 8/4/1.6 on 47.1% true shooting through 11 games to start this one. At least Clowney hasn’t missed games with a sprained ankle yet, which […]

The Jazz debuted their ‘City Edition’ jerseys tonight vs Indiana, a remix of their gradient uniforms during the early Donovan Mitchell days. After dropping their past 2 games against Minnesota, the Jazz were hungry. They couldn’t let a 1-9 Pacers team walk into their arena and walk away without a care in the world. And […]
