I’ll be honest; I had to check a couple of times to see if this was NBA Centel, but I certainly don’t mind the comparrison. Coming off the heels of his career night it is very easy to be on the Ace Bailey Train. Depending on how you feel about the situation you’re either happy […]
An interesting confluence of Brotherhood history as two things happened in Boston on Friday night: Jayson Tatum returned from his Achilles injury in just eight months, and New England native and Dallas rookie Cooper Flagg made his maiden trip to TD Garden, home of the Celtics. Not surprisingly, Boston won – the Celtics are second […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs have made a second buzzer-beater trade, this time sending Scott Laughton to the Los Angeles Kings . It's a curious move by the Kings, who are out of the playoff picture right now and, after losing Kevin Fiala for the season, are acquiring a pending unrestricted free agent in Laughton. The return is a third-round pick that could become a second-rounder if the Kings make the playoffs. 3rd rounder https://t.co/iJMyjX9yT1 — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) March 6, 2026 ROS...
The Islanders’ Olympic-spanning win streak ended in a Husso in Anaheim Wednesday night, but they have another chance to pick up points from Southern California tonight vs. the Kings. First Islanders Goal picks go here. Islanders News Elsewhere
Starter, reliever, long guy – it doesn’t matter to Cooper Criswell. He’ll embrace whatever role the team wants to give him. “My dad was a basketball coach for 30-plus years, and he always told his teams, every guy on a team has a role, and you need to know your role,” Criswell said. “So for […]
Kentucky is reportedly showing interest in 6-foot-7 point guard Dink Pate, as head coach Mark Pope was spotted in Philadelphia on Wednesday morning to watch Pate play for the Westchester Knicks against the Delaware Blue Coats. Originally part of the 2023 recruiting class, Pate has spent the last three years playing in the NBA G-League, […]
The Big Ten 2025-26 season took another step on Tuesday when the conference announced season honors. It is an annual tradition to honor the individual accolades of its stars, and this year, there was not too much separating some of the biggest races of the year. Even so, the UCLA Bruins, who went undefeated in […]
There are shrewd ways of ending the regular season, like perhaps not blowing a late lead on the road or just generally not entering an impressive stretch of defensive incompetence, but personally I prefer the other routes, which involve defiantly staring down the bubble and saying “look at all the dumb shit we can do!” […]
The Mavericks were 1-4 over the last week and remain in 12th place in the West. They beat Brooklyn (123-114), and lost four largely uncompetitive games to Sacramento (130-121), Memphis (124-105), Oklahoma City (100-87), and Charlotte (117-90). Naji Marshall led the team in scoring with 20.3 points per game. Cooper Flagg (foot) remains out, while […]
Have you ever watched a cartoon scuffle evolve into a swirling cloud of dust, stars, limbs, and onomatepea? With the participants jostling, wrestling, and tackling at such a high speed, the animators are physically incapable (or occupationally unwilling) of sketching at a quick enough rate to keep pace with the escalating kerfuffle. Dust and dirt […]
Victor Wembanyama has been named Western Conference Player of the Month and Defensive Player of the Month for February, the league announced. It’s Wembanyama’s first time getting Player of the Month honors in his career. It’s the second time in a row he’s gotten the Defensive Player of the Month, and he’s the only player […]
“Comparison is the thief of joy.” – Kyrie Irving (quoting Teddy Roosevelt) It’s Hugo Gonzalez day on CelticsBlog today! I’m stealing this topic from a couple of sources. The Group Chat guys were doing player comps for all the top rookies (they glazed over Hugo at the end). Also, Bobby Manning threw this out as […]

Daniel Jones hits open market in six days! Texans make two trades! Miami of Ohio coach Travis Steele fined
Hugo González played only 13 minutes on Sunday night, less than 24 hours before Boston Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla needed the rookie to start. That didn’t matter, though. González logged his third career start, and his first since Jan. 10, with starters Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta both sidelined on the second night of a […]
It’s been a very long time since the Lakers had blowouts like this in consecutive games. You have to go back to mid-November to even find games with margins similar to this, but these Lakers did it in back-to-back days. You can easily discredit it by saying this is what they should be doing against […]
For the second time in as many nights, the Lakers blew out a Pacific Division foe. LA surged out to a big lead in the first quarter, withstood a small comeback attempt in the third and then cruised to a 128-104 win over the Kings. Much like Saturday’s win in Golden State, LA fell behind […]

Start time and TV schedule Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Sacramento Kings When: 6:30 p.m. PT, Mar 1 Where: Crypto.com Arena Watch: Spectrum […]
As basketball fans, when our team loses, we suffer. Imagine being the head coach. Former NBA head coach David Fizdale — the creator of “Take That For Data” meme — recently visited with Michelle Beadle, Chandler Parsons, and Lou Williams on Fan Duel TV’s Run It Back. Anyone aware of Fizdale knows he does not […]

Dallas snapped a two-game winning streak in losing 130-121 to the Kings Thursday. Naji Marshall scored 36 in the effort and the team was once again […]
This game felt like the Rockets season in microcosm. Amen Thompson returned from being out in the previous game, and the Rockets traveled to Orlando for the second game of a back to back. Orlando was at home, and last played Tuesday in Los Angeles. After a game of beating the woeful Kings easily with […]
When Caleb Foster had various members of the Duke team on the Brotherhood Podcast before last season started, he asked everyone who had surprised them the most. Just about everyone said Kon Knueppel, and that kind of got your attention. This past fall, before the NBA season started, someone asked Charlotte GM Jeff Peterson if […]
The Dallas Mavericks hosted the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night, seeing their two-game win streak come to an end with a 130-121 loss. Let’s get to the grades! Naji Marshall: A+ 36 PTS / 10 REB / 6 AST / 0 STL / 0 BLK – 42 MIN One! Man! Gang! Max Christie: C 8 […]
When Precious Achiuwa, Maxime Raynaud and Dequon Plowden come to town, Katie bar the doors. You’re in for a tough one. Achiuwa’s career-high scoring night spelled doom for the Dallas Mavericks (21-37) on Thursday at American Airlines Center, as the Sacramento Kings begrudgingly (14-47) took the 130-121 win in the battle of who wanted it […]
