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 […]

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. And then the Heat doubled […]

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...
Following the Miami Heat’s most exciting win of the 2025-26 season on Monday, they will again host the Cleveland Cavaliers on the second leg of a back-to-back set between each other. Although it will be a rematch, the Cavs will look drastically different in this one. They are resting both All-Star starters Donovan Mitchell and […]

Joe Torre once said a good manager can add maybe five wins to a team’s total over 162 games, but a bad manager can torpedo an entire season. Last night’s 133-120 Knicks’ win over the Memphis Grizzlies offered two rebuttals to Torre’s take, via a coach whose approach could net his team far more than […]
Things keep progressing positively for LeBron James as he prepares for his return to the basketball court. LeBron will now reportedly be practicing with the South Bay Lakers. There appear to be no restrictions on James, as this practice also includes 5-on-5 action. LeBron has yet to make his season debut with the Lakers. He […]
Here’s the latest evidence that the Dallas Mavericks (3-8) need to chuck the two-timeline nonsense out the window and focus on the team’s young core of players. Amid all the torment and injury struggle, all the insincere win-now rhetoric and the roster construction favoring tall men with long arms, one of the only effective offensive […]
Will the Knicks ever lose a game again? Will New Yorkers ever watch their team drop one inside MSG? We don’t know about that, but we surely heard the protagonist of yet another home win talk a bunch in the past few hours. Mike Brown On Ja Morant and the Grizzlies: “[The Grizzlies are] really […]

The team rolls into the Crescent City, licking its wounds after dropping two winnable games against the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. This Pelicans team is banged up and trying to find […]
Another tough loss that could very easily been a win with better execution at the end. Sixers fans are terrible. They trash their team and everyone on it. They were hating on Oubre and wanting him out of the game before he hit that last shot and then suddenly he is clutch. I agree with the comment that the announcers just didn't talk about the game. I really hate that about national games. There is no play by play. Just talking about every...

When the Mavericks announced the firing of General Manager Nico Harrison, it felt as if a storm cloud had finally cleared over the Dallas Mavericks. This came after an utterly miserable 9 months following the Luka trade, filled with anger and resentment. But now we can move forward as Mavericks fans, and begin to look […]
