The injury report is longer for the Mavs this time around, and […]

The Portland Trail Blazers struggled this week at the beginning of a long road trip. After a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at home, Portland headed East and fell to the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks. They also beat the Chicago Bulls during the week so it wasn’t a total loss. As tends to happen […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are going through a dip in their season, one of a half-dozen that have plagued them alongside several high spots. After consecutive losses to the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks over the weekend, questions have popped up in the Blazer’s Edge Mailbag regarding several concerns, a couple of which are encapsulated […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to defeat the Brooklyn Nets 106-102, but it was far from a perfect game. Let’s get into why. First, the Cavs struggled to keep control of the ball. They turned it over 17 times, which accounted for 17.9% of their offensive possessions (21st percentile). That would be concerning on its […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers narrowly took down the Brooklyn Nets. Let’s go over today’s winners and losers.

It’s one thing when multiple key players are in street clothes. I […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Brooklyn Nets 106-102. It shouldn’t have been this close, but a win is a win. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. James Harden 22 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 turnovers Harden will be playing through a broken finger on his non-dominant hand for the […]
Kenny Atkinson promised pregame that the Brooklyn Nets would one day “break through.” “You’re just waiting for that, like ‘When is that gonna happen?’ And you look at it like, ‘Man, is it ever going to happen?’ I’m sure Jordi is going, ‘Man, everyone is saying it’ll happen,’” he said in answer to our Lucas […]
It wasn’t pretty by any stretch, but the Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to end their brief two-game losing streak. They defeated the Brooklyn Nets 106-102 thanks to strong performances from James Harden and Jarrett Allen. Cleveland got off to a good start. They exerted their sizeable talent advantage early on as they opened up an […]
Look at the cover photo and realize how quickly life comes at you. Kenny Atkinson coaching James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen for one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the rebuilding Nets have lost seven straight entering Sunday’s matinee affair. That’d be the worst in the Conference if not for Chicago’s […]

It was close, until it wasn’t. The Brooklyn Nets hung around for about a half, but the Boston Celtics separated themselves from the Nets and cruised to a 37 point win. The streak is now at seven losses in a row. The opponent tonight is climbing the charts in the Eastern Conference. The Cleveland Cavaliers […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers will look to snap their two-game losing streak as they finish off their three-game road trip against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon. Cleveland has lost their last two games without the services of either Donovan Mitchell (groin) or James Harden (thumb). They will still be without Mitchell, but Harden could be […]
The Portland Trail Blazers ran into one of the hottest teams in the NBA this morning (well, it was morning in Portland, anyway) and should have treated themselves to brunch instead. The Charlotte Hornets beat Portland 109-93 behind Brandon Miller’s 26 points. Jrue Holiday scored 25 for the Blazers. Here are a few observations from […]
The Portland Trail Blazers and Charlotte Hornets met in an early Saturday matchup today. Each carried identical 29-31 records into the game on the back of plucky hustle with lineups still in process.

The Portland Trail Blazers have drawn an extra-early game versus the Charlotte Hornets today. Portland has been up and down lately, beating teams that are starting the NBA’s annual tanking process, tending to fall to better opponents.

1. Dominant Shooting Display Coming off of Boston’s lowest scoring output of the season against the Denver Nuggets at only 84 points, the Celtics came back home to TD Garden and set a new season-high in points with 148 against the Brooklyn Nets. Boston did this with some historic shooting, going 52-78 (67%) from the […]
During Nikola Vučević’s Boston Celtics debut, both sides struggled. Three weeks ago marked the beginning of Vučević’s acclimation, and since then, his synergy has begun to take shape. It was a stark contrast on Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Vučević’s offensive instincts kicked in, and decisively; he wasn’t hesitant. He was constantly in motion, […]

The Nets have now lost six straight games after a 16-point loss vs. San Antonio Spurs. Given the circumstances — 15-43 record, second night of back-to-back, and a tough opponent in Boston — it’s hard for any Nets fan to feel confident heading into this one. The Celtics are surprising the world yet again and […]
