As the Dallas Mavericks currently sit on a 12-22 record at the end of the year, good enough for 12th place in the Western Conference, it somehow feels believable that they will be one of the better teams in the west next season, and/or at least certainly for the foreseeable future. Cooper Flagg is better […]

Here’s the latest from your superheroes—no, really, five of them ranked inside the Eastern Conference Top 16 in votes for […]

It happened again. The late-game turnovers stole the headlines (pun intended) in the Celtics’ 114-108 loss in Portland, but big picture, it was just the sixth time in 31 games that Boston shot under 30% from behind the arc (13-of-34 for 29.5%). They’re now 1-5 on those cold-shooting nights. In the past, it’s been a […]

The Lakers have been prone to some frustrating lapses in games this season. Rarely, if at all, have they been able to put together a full 48-minute effort. At it’s worst, LA nearly blew a 20-point lead to the Suns in dramatic fashion, barely hanging on by the skin of their teeth…and by Dillon Brooks’ […]

The Portland Trail Blazers faced a mixed set of circumstances on Monday night as they welcomed the Dallas Mavericks to the Moda Center. Coming into the game with 12 wins and 21 losses, Dallas was hardly a powerhouse, particularly lacking center Anthony Davis. But the Blazers were coming off an emotional win just 24 hours […]

The Portland Trail Blazers took down the Dallas Mavericks 125-122 in a game that came down to the wire. After jumping out to an early lead in the first quarter that they sustained most of the contest, Portland allowed the Mavericks to fight back and take the lead in the fourth. Portland was led in […]

The Rockets continue to make things interesting against bad teams. Through no fault of their own last season’s Eastern Conference Finalist, a team that was winning Game 7 of the Finals (it wasn’t actually an OKC coronation parade) before Tyrese Haliburton ruptured his Achilles, is a bad team. At least the Rockets didn’t blow a […]

The Seattle Seahawks have their sights set on the number one seed in the NFC, but they now know where they’ll fall in case they lose to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night. Monday’s stunning Los Angeles Rams loss to the Atlanta Falcons means quite a bit to the Seahawks. It’s a little bittersweet […]

After an ugly loss to the Brooklyn Nets where the Minnesota Timberwolves lacked energy for much of the game and dropped one to a team that has been playing well in the month of December. This marked their second straight loss after the thriller late on Christmas Day. This game kicks off a four-game road […]

With a final two games at Ball Arena before the new year, the Colorado Avalanche, wearing their road white uniforms, hosted the LA Kings who they hadn’t seen since opening night. Much like that first game of the season, Colorado emerged on top with a 5-2 victory. The game was much closer than the score […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers capped off their three-game road trip with a much-needed 113-101 win over the San Antonio Spurs, fueled by the resurgence of their former All-Star center. It has never been a skill issue with Jarrett Allen. That was on display as he provided a game-high 27 points and 10 rebounds. One of the […]

It’s hard to think that there was a time in the past calendar year where Keyonte George was replaced by Isaiah Collier in the Utah Jazz starting lineup, but last January, in the midst of a four-game losing streak, Jazz head coach Will Hardy did exactly that. For most of the second half of the […]

I turned on the game tonight expecting either a tough win or a big loss — nothing in between. But losing Josh Giddey and Coby White was not the kind of collateral I expected the Bulls to take on. The only silver lining to a blowout loss is that it lets me get this article out a little faster. First Half: Coby White OUT! Not the prettiest of starts for either the Bulls or the Timberwolves. It felt like there was a lid on the rim. Chicago opened just 1-for-10 on their first 10 shots an...
