The Portland Trail Blazers went 1-2 this week, earning a win over the Miami Heat to start the week, then falling to the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics in the absence of Deni Avdija. During a week where Portland’s offense struggled with consistency, one player really stepped up his performance; this week’s Blazer of the […]

UPDATE 7 p.m. ET: Quentin Grimes has been downgraded to out for Tuesday hosting the Bucks, listed with a right ankle sprain. Joel Embiid remains questionable and Paul George is still probable (both for left knee injury management) with just over an hour before tipoff. It’s fitting that someone got dinged up in the worst […]

After a less-than-ideal performance on Sunday evening on home ice, the Blackhawks get a quick two-game trip that starts with their first look at Quinn Hughes on the Minnesota Wild. The Wild come in only 4-4-2 in their last 10 games and locked into a heated battle with Dallas for home ice in the Central Division’s 2-3 matchup in the first round of the playoffs.
The Blackhawks threw their lines in a blender on Monday, so tonight will be an experiment with the healthiest roster they’ve had i...

It’s been a blast-from-the-past kind of week in Chicago. From Derrick Rose returning to the city to a wave of former Bulls reuniting in the Windy City, the nostalgia meter if going off. Now, another familiar face from one of basketball’s most iconic eras is stepping back into the spotlight, this time in a very different way.

Typically you’d put Thanksgiving leftovers in the most elite tier. These are even better. Since nobody will ever be able to say everything about Seattle Seahawks 31, Los Angeles Rams 27, here are some re-heated goodies that came to mind basking in the glory of the franchise’s fourth NFC championship. Sam Darnold was even better […]

Keisean Nixon, I just can’t quit you. The Packers cornerback has been named to his first Pro Bowl, replacing Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon as Seattle heads to the Super Bowl. Nixon, who has two first-team All Pro nods as a kick returner, transitioned to being the team’s CB1 during the 2025 season after the release […]

There’s something off about this team right now and it’s hard to know what it is. No, it is not your typical need-for-a-trade or short tanking slump, this is much deeper than that. Recently, the Nets haven’t gone through highs and lows. It has been lows and lower lows. From getting embarrassed at MSG to […]

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. — This isn’t the first time I’ve written about how Dan Geriot isn’t used to the grind of a college basketball season. Geriot was in the NBA in various roles, including assistant coach for the Cavaliers and Pelicans, over the last 10 years. It’s an 82-game season with constant travel, few practices, […]

Good win although the Celtics seemed to lose focus after that first quarter. Loved that Amari came in and out played their center after they were expecting the opposite. I love Jrue and Timelord. Both are very quality human beings!! I would take either one back in a heartbeat. I'm hoping Rob can stay healthy. Poor Jaylen will never live down the hairline stuff just like Pierce could never live down the wheelchair incident. The game being ug...

Down nine to start the second quarter in Denver, the team readied to go to the most unproductive bench in the league, scoring-wise. Seizing an opportunity in recent games, two-way center Drew Timme checks in for the Lakers in his new spot in the rotation next to fellow big man Deandre Ayton. His impact was […]

While we have looked at some of the biggest names in the trade market, including Ja Morant and Michael Porter Jr., there are other avenues Bucks GM Jon Horst could pursue to improve the Bucks this season and beyond. They could look for role players instead of stars, or several players, rather than bringing in […]

Last night, former Tar Heel and current Chicago Bulls guard Coby White caught fire against the Los Angeles Lakers to the tune of 23 points, five rebounds and six assists. While this is more common than not for the Goldsboro native, the significance of this is the fact that he made five of his 10 […]

Derrick Rose at the United Center. LeBron James still terrorizing the Chicago Bulls. We’re back in 2012 again, aren’t we?
Last night, the Los Angeles Lakers put on an offensive masterclass against Chicago, knocking the Bulls back to a .500 record. But there’s a jam-packed week ahead.
Let’s talk Bulls basketball.
There’s a lot you can blame for the loss last night. The inability to stop Luka Dončić from… anything (he put up 46 points, 11 assists, and seven rebounds) . Or failin...

Whoever thinks that grown men are above high-school level drama don’t follow the NBA. This season, we’ve already seen a superstar get punched (reportedly) for making fun of an opponent’s contract blunder, and a very mid player demand(!!!) a trade out of what he believes to be a “hostage” situation. Somehow, neither of those stories […]

In this series, we’re looking at the biggest statistical differences between last season and the current one to understand how Celtics players have evolved while wearing the same jersey. Not every role change comes with an identity shift. Sometimes, it comes by filling a need. Neemias Queta’s season reflects that idea. Coming into the year, […]
