Too Close for Comfort, Three-Point Uptick, Veteran Leader Vooch, Dalen Terry(!), and Other Bulls Bullets

In the wise words of Horton Hears a Who, “a win is a win … no matter how ugly.” It goes something like that, right? NIKOLA VUCEVIC GAME-WINNING BUZZER BEATER ALERT!! Let’s be honest, the Chicago Bulls didn’t deserve to win that game. They let an inferior Portland Trail Blazers team – with multiple rotation players on the injury report – erase a 21-point lead over the final 9 minutes of action. Struggling to close things out against superstars is one thing. Strugg...

For Michael Porter Jr., podcast interferes with success … again

Michael Porter Jr. is having a very good couple of weeks. For the first time in his career, he’s put up seven straight games of 20 points or more. In that stretch, he’s also twice set personal best for assists, showing off passing skills his former assistant coach in Denver knew he had. Moreover, the […]

Player Grades – Recapping the Mavericks vs. the Knicks

The Dallas Mavericks dropped a close one to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, falling 113-111. The Knicks were seeking their first road win of the season, and Dallas unfortunately accommodated them in a winnable game that came down to an offensive foul call on what could have been a game winning play if […]

Hoopaholic’s Gazette: Boffo Season in Play

My name is Seedy K, and I’m a hoopaholic. Wednesday was another night of compelling hoops, including a righteous effort in South Bend by those lads from Norris Place. For a junkie like me, it doesn’t take much. And I shall weigh in on that and other matters of the sport that consume me. But […]

Northwestern faces its first big test at the Greenbrier Tip-Off

Northwestern heads to West Virginia this weekend for its biggest test of the young season, matching up against the Virginia Cavaliers and the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Greenbrier Tip-Off. NU enters the showcase 4-0 after an 81-79 nail-biting victory against DePaul last Friday, led by the terrific play of Nick Martinelli and Arrinten Page. […]

The Bucks have a pick-and-roll defense problem

The Bucks stink at defending the pick-and-roll. Any time an opponent runs the action right now, it’s basically an automatic bucket. The stats are mind-bending. Milwaukee is allowing a league-worst 64.6% roll man scoring frequency, which equates to 1.35 points per possession. For reference, the two worst transition defenses, Sacramento and Washington, are giving up […]

Rockets rattle to win over Cavaliers 114-104

This game didn’t look close at the end. It didn’t look close in the middle, but due to some spectacularly awkward play by the Rockets in the third quarter, it was close up until the end. This was a game of extremes. Mostly extremes of baffling basketball and shooting dry spells. Both the Rockets and […]

The Maine Celtics could have their next great prospect

BOSTON — Ron Harper Jr. didn’t know he’d be spending the week with the Boston Celtics. But, the 25-year-old two-way Celtics player hopped on a commercial flight on Sunday to meet the Celtics in Orlando amid their three-game road trip. It wasn’t smooth sailing; the same flight delays that have plagued the country meant Harper […]

The dark cloud has cleared

Tuesday morning, a dark cloud cleared over the heads of Maverick fans across the globe when it was announced that Nico Harrison would be fired following the team’s 3-8 start to the season. The man who selfishly took a championship-contending team and traded its star player, Luka Doncic, in the dead of the night in […]

4 Reasons to be concerned about the Cavs

Heading into the season, there were many reasons to temper regular-season expectations for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They would be starting the season with key injuries to Darius Garland and Max Strus. And the transactions during the offense shook up rotations and depth to the point where growing pains were to be expected. But if the […]

YouTube Gold: The Late, Great Lenny Wilkens

Celtics Film Round-Up: Week 4

It was a busy week on the parquet. The Celtics dabbled in Magic like an Etsy witch, splitting a two-game road series in Orlando. Boston showed down with Philly once again; despite the schedule makers wanting to get these matchups out of the way, it went down to the last possession for the third time. […]
