The Brooklyn Nets and New York Knicks are as connected, and as far apart, as they’ve ever been. In an injury-ravaged East, New York has its best chance to advance to the NBA Finals in more than two decades. But the Nets, as we all know, are the “other” kind of team right now, focused […]

The Nets had a chance at nabbing their first two-game win streak but Detroit had different plans. The guys in black and white head over to Manhattan for a dance with the Knicks at MSG. Tanking or not, there’s always a little extra juice in these game. Or at least we hope. KEY INFO WHO: […]

Longtime NBA fans surely remember former Most Improved Player Victor Oladipo, who has been out of the league for two seasons. He’s spent a lot of that time away from the court dealing with knee injuries that plagued his career, but he’s healthy now, and he’ll attempt to get back to the league with the […]
While JJ Redick’s postgame press conference was quite funny in its brevity, there was something to take away from his answers, too.

It seems the Lakers felt the same and played accordingly. From the […]
Ah, what a difference a day makes. Just 24 little hours is all anyone needs to shift their perspective, reach a different conclusion, and fire off another take.

The Cleveland Cavaliers were on the verge of a comeback last night against the Chicago Bulls, when it became clear that the double-big lineup of Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley was moving too slowly to keep up with Chicago’s pace.
