A lot went on in the NBA this past weekend. Of course, there were multiple festivities taking place in Inglewood, CA at the 75th All-Star Weekend. As previously mentioned, Friday was the day the Point God Chris Paul officially announced his retirement after 21 seasons in the NBA. And then there was the incident involving […]
Earlier this week, CBS released their post trade deadline NBA front office rankings. To nobody’s surprise, the Oklahoma City Thunder came in at first, but what was surprising to me is that only one other team (Boston Celtics) ranked above the Houston Rockets, which means that they’re the second-highest-ranked front office in the Western Conference, […]
The James Harden Era with the Cleveland Cavaliers has gotten off to a great start. They’ve won all three of their games, and the chemistry between the backcourt duo of Harden and Donovan Mitchell has been impressive. Lineups with both Harden and Mitchell have outscored opponents by 11 points per 100 possessions (93rd percentile) with […]
There’s a great new series on Prime about the ABA called Soul Power: The Legend of the American Basketball Association. It’s a really entertaining series that we heartily recommend. The ABA was a wild ride from beginning to end. Rick Barry was in the league for several years and in the first episode, he talked […]
It certainly seems like Jayson Tatum is going to play basketball for the Boston Celtics at some point this season. There has been no date set yet for a return and Tatum has not said he is going to play this season. Yet, all the signs point to a Tatum return and it could be […]
Good morning, it’s Thursday, February 19th. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 34-21 and finally play basketball again for the first time since last Wednesday. A lot has happened since we last previewed a Cavs game. I totaled my car. Jaylon Tyson and Donovan Mitchell competed in All-Star weekend. And, Cleveland went a few days in a […]

With roughly a week left in the month of February, and the All-Star break officially over, the Spurs are starting things back up with a bang as they face a team that has pretty much confounded them thus far in the Phoenix Suns. This will be round three for these teams, and the long layoff […]
Since the last time these teams met, the Houston Rockets actually won a couple of games and looked like a real basketball team before the All-Star break came and, well…you know. The Charlotte Hornets finally lost a game while getting into a big fight with the Detroit Pistons. Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate are suspended […]
SAN FRANCISCO — When the Celtics face the Warriors on Thursday, Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis could both face the Celtics for the very first time since their respective tenures in Boston ended last summer. Porzingis is questionable to play against the Celtics as he continues to deal with a left Achilles tendon injury, while […]
Uhhhhhh, that will wake you up. At the end of the first half Wednesday night at USC, Illinois guard Kylan Boswell stunned everyone with an incredible putback dunk. Initially ruled basket interference on the floor, Illinois challenged the call and it was overturned. Because, duh. I think the hand is alright. We knew Kylan’s athletic, […]
If you thought there’d be no news in Charlotte Hornets land because of the all star break, you’d be sorely mistaken. On the last day of the break, LaMelo Ball got himself involved in a car crash in the middle of uptown Charlotte. Even if people didn’t see LaMelo get out of the car, it’s […] The post LaMelo Ball involved in car crash in uptown Charlotte first appeared on At The Hive .

Twenty-four hours later, the football is still secondary. Real Madrid’s 1–0 victory at the Estádio da Luz should have been remembered for Vinícius Júnior’s brilliant second-half goal and a disciplined away performance in Europe. Instead, the match is now the center of multiple investigations, political involvement, global reactions, and an escalating war of narratives — […]
After the rumors of a potential trade before the deadline, Jeremy Sochan’s time in San Antonio ended with even less fanfare than expected. Sochan was bought out and joined the Knicks, and the Spurs used their open roster spot to sign Mason Plumlee to bolster their center depth. It was a banal ending to what […]

It’s been a busy day before the return to action for the Atlanta Hawks. First, reports broke about forward Caleb Houstan being converted from his two-way deal onto a standard contract for the rest of the season: Since the Hawks already had 15 standard contract players, they needed to waive someone. Unfortunately, that someone was […]
There’s a plague passing through the National Basketball Association, and it’s not tanking. Sure, the act of deliberately putting your team at a disadvantage in the hopes of improving draft odds is detrimental to the spirit of competition — when one of the teams doesn’t care to win, why should the fans? But the NBA […]
The latest news in the Tank Wars comes from the Sacramento Kings, the cute little participant in the latest tank discussion. Today, in some moves that may not even change the outcome of games, the Kings announced that Domantas Sabonis will be out the rest of the season for left knee surgery. There’s no doubt […]
The Lakers are looking at an offseason with a ton of cap space and a handful of roster spots available, but how are they going to use these resources to build a winner around Luka Dončić? They are flirting with being a top-four team in the Western Conference, but to truly be a contender, they […]

NBA media guru Chris Haynes reported the news today, citing league sources. The 10-year veteran averaged 15.8 points, 11.4 points, and 4.1 assist in 19 appearances for the […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have one of the easiest schedules in the league after the All-Star break, but they have a tough stretch to start things off. They play five games in seven nights, and they take on the Oklahoma City Thunder, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons (twice), and the Boston Celtics over the next two-and-a-half […]
Does the regular season matter? Well, you need to win enough games in the regular season to make the playoffs and get a favorable seed in the playoffs. Home court advantage is very important. But does it matter who you beat and who you lose to? Probably not. The Knicks won the season series with […]
The Brooklyn Nets have been a top 10 team in salary dedicated to injured players during five of the past seven NBA seasons. In three of them, they’ve been in the top two. Last season, the Nets set a franchise record for games missed to injury/illness at 374, second only to the 76ers 397. Sure, […]
