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 […]

I am looking forward to seeing JJ McCarthy play but I feel it is going to get ugly early. The game day threads should be glorious! If the team loses which almost everyone is predicting, then the “season is over” crowd will be out in full force and with fairly good reason. I will not […]

On this Daylight Savings Time weekend, the Chicago Blackhawks have been rolling back the clocks 18 years with their better-than-anticipated start. Back in 2007-08, those young Hawks were not the dynasty team they’d become yet. But this year’s team and that team won five of their first 11 games, as the 07-08 Hawks took big…

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.

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 […]
