Almost got it. The Brooklyn Nets gave the New York Knicks all they could handle, but ultimately fell short by one point, 93-92. The losing streak is up to six. The opponent tonight is praying for some lottery luck. The Sacramento Kings have had a rough season but hope things turn around in the NBA […]
The 17-win Nets are up against the 18-win Kings in the ultimate tank-fest at 6 PM ET, which makes today’s games all that much more exciting. Sacramento is one game ahead of Brooklyn in the standings, so if the Nets pull this one out then they’ll be tied for the third-best odds at the No. […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers made things more interesting than they needed to be. They fell down by 15 early in the fourth quarter to a bad New Orleans Pelicans team before turning things around. Strong finishes from James Harden and Donovan Mitchell were enough to secure the 111-106 victory. As has been a recent trend, the […]
The funny thing about playoff hypotheticals is that they always feel logical… right up until reality barges in. That’s where the Timberwolves are right now. Seeds 3-6 of the Western Conference are basically a four-car pileup happening in slow motion. Minnesota is behind the wheel, glaring at dashboard warning lights through the smoke coming from […]

The Nets thought adding some silly-billy physicality would help them beat the Knicks. They were in for a rough one, seeing their losing skid against the New York team go up to 14 and counting. Ooooofff… Mike Brown On being outcoached by Jordi Fernández on Friday: “Jordi outcoached me. They outplayed us in a lot […]
The Spurs’ West Coast trips have afforded me anywhere from 3-4 opportunities most seasons to see them in both Sacramento and San Francisco. With my dad — while bravely fighting his battle against cancer — unable to attend the game as had originally planned, the outing became a chance for my sister to see her […]
The third and fifth picks in the 2025 NBA draft face off against each other as the Philadelphia 76ers take on the Utah Jazz at the Delta Center on Saturday night. VJ Edgecombe is coming off a career high 38 point and 11 assist performance as the 76ers dismantled the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night. […]
Coming off a blowout win against the Sacramento Kings, the Spurs returned home to face the Phoenix Suns for the final time this regular season. Stephon Castle was ruled out before the game with a hip injury, but Devin Vassell returned from ankle soreness. What followed was a highly contested game. After a back-and-forth first […]
Wow! This game contained some cringe-worthy stretches of play by the Spurs, but they did just enough to stay in striking distance before finally finding an extra gear in crunch time. To cap it all off, Victor Wembanyama ended the game with a strategy that I typically hate: dribble the ball in place on the […]
Don’t look now, but they’ve won three of their last four! The Sixers blew out the Sacramento Kings 139-118 Thursday night. They are 38-32, a big win given big losses by the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat earlier in the night. Reaching 30 points for the first time since his NBA debut, VJ Edgecombe cruised […]

Update: After initially being listed as doubtful for today’s game, Joel Embiid has now been downgraded to out. After doing a nice job picking up two straights wins, including a solid performance against the Blazers on Sunday, it’s hardly surprising the Hospital Sixers faltered against the Nuggets on Tuesday. They were dismantled 124-96, falling behind […]
Coming off their 50th win of the season against the Los Angeles Clippers, the Spurs traveled to Sacramento on a SEGABABA to take on the Kings for the final time this season. Dylan Harper and Luke Kornet returned from injury, but Devin Vassell was ruled out with ankle soreness. Nonetheless, from the opening tip, the […]
Central defender Trevoh Chalobah suffered a horrific looking ankle injury last night, during Chelsea’s 3-0 loss to PSG in the UEFA Champions League. His ankle twisted a full 180 degrees, and led to his being stretchered off. According to Yahoo Sports, Chalobah posted an Instragram story in which he said the ankle “should be broken,” […]

After an uncomfortable win over the Clippers on Sunday, the Spurs headed north to play the hapless Kings, who are locked in a desperate battle with the Nets, Wizards, and Pacers to be the most inept team in the NBA. Even so, the second night of a back-to-back is always somewhat unpredictable, and the Kings […]
Following a rollercoaster win in LA on Monday, the Spurs extended their win streak against the lowly Kings on the second night of a back-to-back. The start of this game was the opposite of what happened in LA. San Antonio caught fire from deep and made six triples in the first quarter alone, jumping out […]
Short rest on the second game of a back-to-back is no issue when the game ends in the first half. The San Antonio Spurs rolled into Sacramento after a tough game with the Los Angeles Clippers the night prior. The Spurs thoroughly and utterly dominated the Kings in a blowout 132-104 victory. San Antonio took […]
Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. The Spurs were definitely the better team last night, but they […]
My buddy Marc was kind enough to invite me to the Spurs’ Monday night game against the Clippers. The Clippers now play in their own arena after years of playing second fiddle (in every way) to the Lakers when the teams shared the Staples Center/Crypto.com Arena. (Apparently, another team called the “L.A. Kings” also play […]
If you received a snapshot of a certain timestamp in almost every single Knicks game since the all-star break, you’d think the team was in the midst of another January collapse that would have them plummeting towards the play-in tournament and have Mike Brown receiving his pink slip: Trailed 93-75 with 10:50 left in the […]
It didn’t take as much effort as their last win over the Los Angeles Clippers, but the San Antonio Spurs’ Monday night victory in Southern California still went down to the wire. The Spurs nearly blew a 24-point lead in the 119-115 victory. Now the team will have a short rest before traveling north for […]
There have been murmurs for a few years now that the NBA has been considering an expansion from the current 30 teams to 32 teams.

The New York Knicks (43*-25) host the Golden State Warriors (32-34) tonight at Madison Square Garden. The visitors are decimated by injuries, so look for the Knicks to take it easy tonight.
