The Portland Trail Blazers have assigned rookie center Yang Hansen to the Rip City Remix for scheduled practices, the organization announced on Saturday. The Rose Garden Report’s Sean Highkin reported this assignment will just be for weekend duty, and it won’t overlap with any Trail Blazers games. I’m told the Blazers are assigning Yang Hansen […]
at Houston Rockets (2-2) at Boston Celtics (3-3) Saturday, November 1, 2025 8:00 PM ET Regular Season Game #7, Home Game #3 TV: NBCSB, Space City Home Network, NBA-LP Radio: 98.5 Sports Hub, KBME 790 AM TD Garden The Celtics host the Houston Rockets for the first of 2 meetings between these two teams this season.

Life Without Ant: Minnesota’s Gut Check Week It’s been over a week since Timberwolves fans have been able to watch Anthony Edwards play a full game of basketball, and yes, that sentence already feels like a small tragedy. Edwards barely made it through three and a half minutes against Indiana before that hamstring said, “nah, […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have their signature win of the early 2025-26 NBA season — a gritty, improbable, come-from-behind, last-second 109-107 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night at home. It came against the perennial-contending Nuggets, despite a big-time 21-point, 14-rebound, nine-assist performance from perennial MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. It happened on a night […]
MMBets: How to Wager the Mavericks and Pistons in Mexico City Can the Mavs snap Detroit’s early-season momentum south of the border? The Dallas Mavericks (2–3) face off against the Detroit Pistons (3–2) tonight in Mexico City, tipping off at 9:00 PM CT. While the neutral-court setup adds some intrigue, this game also presents a […]
The last time the Chicago Bulls were 5-0, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were headed full steam ahead toward their fifth NBA championship. Ridiculous. On the one hand, I have no clue what is going on. The Chicago Bulls were viewed by almost everyone as one of the NBA’s retooling bottom feeders. They were projected to finish with a win total in the low 30s and possibly miss the Play-In Tournament altogether. In that sense, a 5-0 start is absolutely mind-boggling, especially when we co...
The San Antonio Spurs are one of three undefeated teams left and are on a franchise-best opening five-game win streak. They are missing key rotation players such as All-Star De’Aaron Fox, plus backup big men Kelly Olynyk and Luke Kornet. Still, it’s irresistible to think about what the margin of victory could be if the […]
Good win for the Celtics but I wish they would stop giving up big leads. Sixers fans trash their own players so much. So wishy washy - one minute they love a player and the next that same player is trash. A lot of fans from every team are hating this new TV deal from the NBA. I love how they complained about the refs giving the Celtics the game when they shot 29 free throws to just 12 for the Celtics. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? &nbs...
Welcome to the big game. Normally, we’d be quite confident of beating Spurs, regardless of circumstance. This time however, that notion feels a bit (a lot?) more tenuous. Hopefully I’m proven wrong. Enzo Maresca has made a couple changes from last weekend, with Wesley Fofana and Malo Gusto coming in to the side — we’ll […]
#1 – Jaylen Brown post-ups: On the night the Celtics got back to .500 and opened NBA Cup play 1-0, the first thing that stood out to me in the opening quarter was how Jaylen Brown was being used. Jaylen has been excellent to start the year as our number one option, averaging 27.7 PPG […]
Noah Clowney remains one of the youngest players in the NBA. Just turning 21 this summer, Clowney is younger than half the players taken in the 2025 NBA Draft. He also bulked up significantly this summer, his body only enhancing his potential, potential first seen when he burst on the scene at the end of […]
The Knicks don’t seem to know how to win away from MSG to save their collective life. New York is 2-0 at home and 0-3 on the road. How ‘bout them trips!? Here’s some transcribed soundbites for your enjoyment (or not) as the NBA takes over Mexico City for Día de Muertos. Mike Brown On […]
The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Indiana Pacers in their first game of the NBA Cup on Friday night, bringing their regular season record to an even 3-3 as the calendar flips to November. Jalen Johnson led the way for Atlanta with 22 points (9-for-16 shooting, 0-for-3 from three), 13 rebounds, and eight assists. Nickeil Alexander-Walker […]
The Virginia Cavaliers are favored to pick up their seventh consecutive win on Saturday when they kickoff against the California Golden Bears. Coming off its third overtime win in eight games, Tony Elliott’s squad is set as a 5.5 point favorite on the road in Berkeley according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under for Saturday’s matchup […]
The Milwaukee Bucks face off against the Sacramento Kings this afternoon in a matinee game. Milwaukee beat Sacramento in both matchups last season and has had the wood over them for the past few years. Where We’re At Things are going swimmingly in the Cream City, it’s fair to say, sitting at 4-1 with signature […]
This Friday was the deadline for teams to pick up team options for rookie contracts. Danielle Lerner of The Houston Chronicle announced that the Houston Rockets have exercised the team options for both third-year guard Amen Thompson and second-year guard Reed Shepard. Both players are key pieces to the Rockets’ rotation, and by exercising their […]
With the 2025–2026 G League season approaching, expect the Long Island Nets’ veteran presence and coaching staff to play a significant role in developing Brooklyn’s young talent. The assignments from Brooklyn have already begun, with first-round picks Nolan Traore, Drake Powell, and Danny Wolf being sent to Long Island on Thursday. As the Nets’ rookies […]

And nearly half gave Johnson an A as well. Though the […]

Hansi Flick returned to the podium on Saturday after missing last week’s press conference due to suspension, but he spoke to journalists ahead of Sunday’s La Liga clash against Elche and naturally had to answer questions about Lamine Yamal. The teenager was a big talking point after El Clasico due to his poor performance and […]
Despite expectations of the playoffs and (at least according to general manager Nico Harrison) title contention, the Dallas Mavericks rocketed out of the gate to a 2-3 record. Led by putrid offense, mediocre defense, and a small litany of injuries, the Mavericks have looked bad! As a result, we took a poll before the Pacers […]
The Bulls won AGAIN . That’s 5-0 to start the season. Are they just, like, a good basketball team? Should I be paying more attention to them? If the Dodgers go on to win this World Series, that 9th inning from Game Six is going to haunt Blue Jays fans forever. Two freak plays – flukes, mistakes, whatever you want to call them – turned what could’ve been a suddenly tie game into a loss. One, not the Blue Jays fault and couldn’t have been avoided. One that certainly could have. Both worki...
