It happened. The Utah Jazz moved up in the NBA Draft Lottery. After three years of soul-searching, serial-killer-esque bulletin-boarding, and mass panic flowing through the bloodstream of every resident in the greater Salt Lake City area (you remember), all of the tanking has been worth it. An empty viewing experience, hoping your team loses every […]
There’s this great trick that Francis Ford Coppolla pulls at the beginning of The Godfather, where he opts to forgo having a narrator and/or title cards to explain the story. It’s a very purposeful move, motivated partly (I suspect) by the popularity of Mario Puzo’s novel. The original novel was quite the financial success it […]

The 2026 NBA Playoffs resume today with two games. One matchup still has some suspense left. The other, relatively little. The Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers will meet for Game 4 of their Eastern Conference series. Detroit leads 2-1, but the Cavs have a chance to tie it tonight. After that, the Oklahoma City Thunder […]
It was another year of The Process that finished in disappointment. Big things have been expected in Philadelphia for the 76ers ever since Joel Embiid was selected with the third overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft (yes, it was that long ago). They told Philly fans to "trust in the Process', and Embiid even took on The Process as a nickname to honor departed GM Sam Hinkie, who drafted him and coined the phrase. Now, it's 12 years later, and the Sixers still haven't made it out of th...
As basketball fans, we know that there is no rest for the weary. Sure, the Washington Wizards have the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. But life and the playoffs go on. Here are the games for today, May 11, 2026.
As we all know, Victor Wembanyama was ejected from Game 4 against the Minnesota Timberwolves for elbowing Naz Reid in the throat after he lost his cool early in the second quarter, and rightfully so. It was an unnecessary and potentially dangerous play. We also already know that the league will take no further action, […]
Colton Parayko didn't want to join the Buffalo Sabres, what about the Ottawa Senators. Reports have surfaced that both teams have been in contact to discuss the parameters of a Parayko trade, but as we know, his no-trade protection could be a big hurdle. Parayko, 32, is signed through the 2030 season at $6.5 million AAV, and holds a no-trade clause that doesn't go down to just 15 teams for two more summers. Bruce Garrioch: The Citizen reported that the Senators kicked tires on Colton Parayko; ...
Just hours after Knicks fans collectively exhaled at the news that OG Anunoby had avoided a major hamstring injury, I got the opportunity to hop on a call with former Knick Danilo Gallinari. Before getting into basketball, there was one thing worth acknowledging first: Gallinari had just won a BSN (Baloncesto Superior Nacional) championship. When […]
The Miami Heat have a big offseason ahead, but let’s still review what happened this season! To conclude our Miami Heat player review series, we dive into veteran two-way wing Andrew Wiggins! Past Player Reviews: Brief Overview: 2025-26 stats (68 games): This was Wiggins’ first full campaign in Miami following his arrival as part of […] The post 2025-26 Miami Heat Player Review: Andrew Wiggins appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Baltimore Ravens have signed safety K’Von Wallace, per a team announcement, adding some veteran depth at a position that has quietly been crucial to their defense over the last few years. Last year, the Ravens did not enter the season with a clear third safety on defense, forcing them to trade for Alohi Gilman […]
The Chicago Blackhawks are a team to watch on the offseason trade market. General manager Kyle Davidson needs to add some help for Connor Bedard and company, and are dangling the number four overall pick to see what kind of package they could land. Ideally, the Blackhawks would find a veteran defenceman with term left on his contract to add to the group. Davidson also has a slew of NHL ready prospects he could include in packages, and word is he's open to do so. Chicago also has a whopping thr...
Well, that was tough. From disappointed to deflated to defeated to downright embarrassing, at least in terms of immediate fan reaction, the 2026 Draft Lottery is right up there with some of the worst days in recent Nets history … and there’s been some doozies. The effect remains to be seen, but whoosh, that was […]
Well, there it is. If it wasn't official already, it is now. The Milwaukee Bucks are officially "open for business" on taking offers from teams on a trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Bucks are officially open for business again on fielding Giannis Antetokounmpo trade offers, per @ShamsCharania . The Cavaliers, Celtics, Heat, Knicks, Lakers, Timberwolves, and Warriors will be among the large list of teams expected to call Milwaukee. pic.twitter.com/3VJxe1QKiq — Evan Sidery (@esid...
It’s been known ever since the February NBA trade deadline that it was only a matter of time for Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors to resurface again. The Bucks gauged the market on Antetokounmpo at that deadline, which included engaging with the Miami Heat on a potential deal. Ultimately, they decided to hold off for a […] The post Bucks ‘open for business’ on Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, Heat back in the mix appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

A year ago today, the Tom Thibodeau-led Knicks led the Celtics 2-1 in their second-round series, a pleasant surprise for a team with a top-heavy rotation and a spot in East’s pecking order inarguably beneath Boston and Cleveland. The Knicks were a title contender, in that they could conceivably reach the Finals, and their superior […]
Chelsea’s job search for our latest manager head coach has featured a series of rather underwhelming candidates so far, with the likes of Andoni Iraola and Marco Silva leading the way. Though it would not be surprising if we could not attract candidates of a higher caliber, ideally we’d be aiming slightly above midtable excellence. […]
The Milwaukee Bucks are actively seeking trade offers for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Monday morning. The news comes after Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam said last week he wants Antetokounmpo’s future with the franchise settled before the NBA Draft on June 23-24. He said that future holds two scenarios: either the perennial […]
The Lakers’ pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo at the trade deadline this year was rather mundane. Without any real firepower to offer in a deal, they were quite far away from a competitive offer. LA was limited to just one first and a host of expiring salaries they could offer. Even if one of those included […]
The Washington Wizards were one lottery ball away from landing Zion Williamson in 2019 and Cooper Flagg in 2025. In 2023, Washington held six of the possible 11 remaining numbers in the draft lottery before narrowly missing out on the No. 1 pick, which became Victor Wembanyama. But the franchise many called “cursed” after its […]
In the first round, it was the Lakers who were up 3-0 over the Rockets, looking to complete a sweep. Now, in the second round, they are on the other side, looking to avoid going out in four games against the Thunder. So far, the odds don’t look so good. Not only have the Lakers […]
