The first round of OVR ranking updates in NBA2K have finally been released, and with it, some necessary adjustments have occurred. Earlier in the year when the rankings were released, we took the opportunity to look at the Raptors ratings, the ones that were way too high and the ones that were way too low. […]

The Chicago Bulls will be without their starting point guard for the second straight game. With a little over an hour before game time, the team downgraded Josh Giddey to OUT with an ankle sprain. He first suffered the injury in the Bulls’ meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. While he was able to return to the game and finish things out, the team proceeded to sit him out for Monday’s loss against the San Antonio Spurs. The Bulls were able to keep things tight in Giddey’s absence, bu...
Entering the second half against the Hornets, the Lakers were in a tight contest. LA was ahead by two possessions, but on the road, that is far from a comfortable lead. Rui Hachimura made sure that things went in LA’s favor with his play in the third and fourth quarters. His scoring ability is a […]
I knew very little about the Pilsen neighborhood and even less about the specific location I was headed. However, as I sat in the backseat of the Grey Toyota Highlander at around 7:35 on Tuesday night, I envisioned something rather grand. Joakim Noah was hosting a private screening of his new travel show NOMAD. The project by NBAT2 , an entertainment company backed by both the NBA and Take-Two Media Interactive, is the organization’s first original series. The premise of the show is simpl...
We’re back! Welcome to the five highest-IQ plays of the week! Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve. The plays that get the basketball psychos and nerds out of their chairs. The plays […]

At the time of the acquisition, we viewed the Norman Powell three-team trade as a win for the Miami Heat, who only had to sacrifice Kyle Anderson and Kevin Love, two players who were viewed as fringe rotation players (at best). Through 11 games, it’s paid dividends. The Heat couldn’t have asked for a better […] The post The Heat’s trade for Norman Powell continues to look better by the day appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Virginia quarterback Chandler Morris left the Wake Forest contest and did not return after a slide subjected him to a late collision to the head between two defenders. The 16-9 loss was frustrating for a variety of reasons, but ultimately, the Cavaliers are still in position to, for the most part, control their own destiny […]

The Miami Heat have been publicly high on Nikola Jovic and his potential ever since the European forward was drafted back in 2022. It was reported that Jovic was kept off limits in summer trade talks to acquire Kevin Durant, which ultimately led to the Phoenix Suns doing business elsewhere.

There are very few authors whose releases I count down the days for. Chuck Klostermann is one of them. Shea Serrano is undeniably the other. I’ve been familiar with Serrano’s work for a while now, his trilogy on basketball, hip-hop Continue reading Book Review: “Expensive Basketball” by Shea Serrano →
To me, there will never be an era in the NBA that replaces the ‘90s. From the players, to the uniforms, to the rivalries, basketball has just never been the same. Sure, we got the NBA on NBC back this year, but Vince Carter, Melo, and T-Mac are no Ahmad Rashad, Marv Albert, or Bob […]
Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Darius Garland was sidelined for multiple playoff games and missed the start of this season due to an injury to his left great toe. He had surgery on his toe this summer. Garland made his season debut last week in the Cavs’ win over the Philadelphia 76ers. He played two more […]
For much of this young 2025-26 season, the Dallas Mavericks have been a complete disaster. The beatings kept coming as morale steadily declined. However, morale is up these days after the news of yesterday, which saw Nico Harrison fired as the team’s general manager. Does that mean the Mavericks can pull their way out of […]
Noa Essengue did exactly what he was supposed to do in his G League debut. Assigned to the Windy City Bulls on Tuesday, the 18-year-old made the trip up to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to the affiliate’s second regular-season game of the year. The organization chose to hold him out of the season opener this past weekend, having him travel with the team for their two-game road trip. He failed to appear in either outing, making it 10 straight contests without a second on the court for the No. 12 ove...
