Western Conference Standings Watch: Will Rockets remain the fifth seed?
With the Western Conference a tight-knit race yet again this season, this series will look at the standings and games to watch across the league as the Lakers look to secure home court and move up the standings. The Western Conference playoff race is beginning to look clear. The Thunder have secured the top seed, […]
Thunder clinch No. 1 Seed for third straight season, join NBA Elite

Blazers Loss in San Antonio Sets Up Big Game on Friday
The Portland Trail Blazers got some good news out of their trip to play the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. The Los Angeles Clippers, the team the Blazers are racing in the road to the NBA Play-In Tournament, lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder. That took the sting out of Portland’s 112-101 defeat at […]
A season of work for the Lakers crumbled in a weekend
How did we get here? That question has been on a loop in my mind. With every Cooper Flagg jumper over Luke Kennard. During the whole fourth quarter of Tuesday’s Thunder game. It’s hard to really grasp how quickly everything went awry. This season deserved better than this. How did we get here? A week […]
Lakers continue to lose ground in Western Conference
It’s more a matter of when, not if, the Lakers fall down to the No. 5 seed in the Western Conference it seems. There hasn’t been much going right for the Lakers over the last week and Monday night was no different. For one, the Lakers lost to the Thunder, which didn’t help their own […]
Player Grades: Lakers vs. Thunder
The final score of Tuesday’s game was both a reflection of the chasm in talent between the Lakers and Thunder but also not entirely indicative of the effort LA gave to start the game either. For the opening 18 minutes, the hosts held their own on the back of effort and energy plays on both […]
Zombie Lakers blasted by Thunder again
A heavily depleted Lakers team was once again blown out on Tuesday by the Oklahoma City Thunder, 123-87. LA was down Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, LeBron James, Marcus Smart and Jaxson Hayes. Despite that, they started the game with a bunch of energy and effort, keeping the game close for the first quarter-and-a-half. However, water […]
The Spurs’ preferred playoff matchups
The San Antonio Spurs will play their first playoff game in seven seasons in two weeks. The team has blown out all of their expectations on their way to home-court advantage through two rounds of the playoffs. As the season comes to an end, it seems unlikely the Spurs will catch the Oklahoma City Thunder […]
LeBron James out vs. Thunder due to left foot injury management
Just when it looked like the Lakers’ injury report couldn’t get worse, it has. The Lakers will have to play against the Thunder without LeBron James, who has been ruled out due to left foot injury management. The team is already playing without Marcus Smart, Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, so now the only starter […]
Lakers vs. Thunder Preview: An unfair rematch
The Lakers (50-28) are back home where they will play three of their last four games of the season, starting with a rematch against the Oklahoma City Thunder (62-16) on Tuesday. Realistically speaking, Los Angeles looks to make this one a, at the very least, respectable matchup against the best team in the league. Start […]
Jazz vs Thunder player grades: Checking in after the hurricane
I was very tempted to tally every Jazzman tonight to a D or lower, but I had to remind myself who we’re dealing with. No one who is sane thought there was possibly a conceivable chance that the Jazz could have the hope of maybe winning this game by a long shot. The Jazz defense […]
Austin Reaves out for 4-6 weeks with Grade 2 oblique strain, will miss first round of playoffs
The haymakers are coming left and right for the Lakers right now. Luka Doncic’s hamstring injury took center stage from Thursday’s loss to the Thunder, but Austin Reaves was also injured and it’s much worse than he initially indicated after the game. The Lakers announced on Saturday that Reaves would be out for the regular […]
Luka Dončić to apply for Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge for 65-game requirement
Something close to the worst-case scenario was confirmed on Friday as the Lakers announced Luka Dončić suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain against the Thunder on Thursday and would be out at least the rest of the regular season. While there are many ramifications of that injury, particularly when it comes to the Lakers’ postseason […]
The Thunder have the Lakers’ kryptonite
A hyper-anticipated matchup between surging MVP candidates Luka Dončić and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was dead on arrival on Thursday. OKC went up 25-9, led by 23 after the first quarter, and that was all she wrote. LA’s kryptonite all year had been teams that have physical defenders who play with a consistent level of ball pressure […]
Cooper Flagg gets blown out in ESPN’s Rookie of the Year Straw Poll
The results from Tim Bontemps’ final 2025-26 NBA MVP straw poll over at ESPN are in, and though the race between Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama appears to be as close as it ever has been, Gilgeous-Alexander actually won it in what looks like a walk. […]
Austin Reaves gives positive update after straining back vs. Thunder
The biggest gut punch from Thursday’s loss to the Thunder was Luka Dončić‘s hamstring strain, but he wasn’t the only star with a visible injury in the game. Prior to Luka going down, Austin Reaves was the one who made a trip to the locker room. Reaves was holding his back for much of the […]
Player Grades: Lakers vs. Thunder
This game was over once the ball went up. The Thunder showed the Lakers why they are 10 games behind the defending champs. They suffocated them defensively as the Lakers didn’t make a field goal until the 7:07 mark in the first quarter. OKC jumped in front by as many as 23 in the opening […]
Luka Dončić exits Thunder game with hamstring strain, will undergo MRI on Friday
On a night where everything that could go wrong did for the Lakers, the biggest blow did not come on the scoreboard. In the third quarter of Thursday’s demoralizing loss to the Thunder, Luka Dončić came to a stop for a jumper and immediately grabbed the back of his left leg. He lost the ball […]
Lakers throttled by Thunder in demoralizing loss
The Lakers were bludgeoned from the opening tip of Thursday’s showdown with the Thunder, falling behind by double digits minutes into the game and trailing by as many as 45 en route to a 139-96 loss. Turnovers plagued the Lakers from the jump, allowing OKC to jump ahead early. The Thunder shooting an incredible 53.9% […]
Lakers vs. Thunder Preview: How legit are the purple and gold?
The Lakers (50-26) head on the road to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder (60-16) on Thursday. This is a huge game for the purple and gold, who have yet to win against the reigning champs this regular season. Start time and TV schedule Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder When: 6:30 p.m. PT, Apr 2 […]
Report: Dumont is ‘point person’ for Mavericks’ GM search, and the big names aren’t coming
A depressing season of Dallas Mavericks basketball has led to the team’s nascent search for a new general manager. The initial reports on that search are also depressing. Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix reported on Tuesday that the Mavericks had Oklahoma City Executive Vice President and GM Sam Presti, Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens and Minnesota […]
Thunder 111, Knicks 100: “Not too down on this loss”
I’m not sure what last night’s 111-100 Knicks’ loss in Oklahoma City showed me that I didn’t already know. About either team. We already know the Knicks can compete with the Thunder. Last year’s matchup in OKC went pretty similarly to last night: the game was absolutely there for New York’s taking, but any number […]
Editor-in-chief mailbag: We’re so back (for now)
It’s amazing what can happen in a week, especially for a franchise as strange as your Philadelphia 76ers. This was the Sixers’ starting lineup last Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder: This was their starting lineup this past Saturday against the Charlotte Hornets: Truly hilarious. But hey, Saturday’s win over the Hornets was a big […]
