Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks hosted the Brooklyn Nets Monday night and it was another solid game for the rookie from Duke. Dallas is currently without Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving, Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively, who looks to be out for the season after surgery, so that puts a lot of pressure on the […]
What is normal? Later tonight, the New York Knicks pay a visit to the Sacramento Kings. The Kings are bad. Not merely “they lose more than they win” bad, more “cursed by the primordial gods until the sun swallows the Earth” bad. Both bad and seemingly hopeless. Pretty normal, for them. Although pretty recently, life […]
Basketball is such a funny game. On Monday, the Lakers were presented 19 open threes and 16 wide open threes, as defined by NBA’s tracking data. They went 7-35 on those shots, or just 20%. On Tuesday, Jake LaRavia is hitting shots while falling out of bounds as the team goes 19-34 from three in […]
The Portland Trail Blazers haven’t been subject to many blowouts this season, but someone should call Hugh Laurie, because they got housed by the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night. The Blazers had a couple disadvantages coming into the game: The cumulative effect was like watching a bout between prime Mike Tyson and prime Mike […]
Turns out there is a way for the Golden State Warriors to beat the Portland Trail Blazers in NBA action this season! All they have to do is catch the Blazers with Deni Avdija sitting on the sidelines with a bad back, which they did tonight. After losing three times to the Blazers in three […]
It wasn’t pretty, and of course it couldn’t be easy, but “win” is still a much sweeter word than “loss’. The Rockets broke their losing streak, and more importantly got off the road, which seemingly caused small problems to snowball downhill, getting bigger and frostier as the trip went on. That’s been much discussed. But […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening to face the Lakers.

There are nights in the NBA when the score tells the truth long before the final buzzer. Tuesday night in Oklahoma City was one of them. The San Antonio Spurs’ 119–98 loss to the Thunder was less about one bad stretch and more about a familiar reality: a young team still learning how unforgiving elite […]
In a season full of ups and downs (more downs than ups), the Dallas Mavericks (15-25) surprisingly find themselves leading the season series 2-0 against the Denver Nuggets (27-13). As the West’s third-best team comes to town, Dallas finds itself on the outside looking in, 2.5 games out of the last play-in spot. In the […]
On Tuesday, the Houston Rockets were desperate for a win at the Toyota Center against a hapless Chicago Bulls squad with massive height and length disparities. A career scoring night from Bulls guard Tre Jones was ultimately wasted when Chicago ran out of gas late in the fourth quarter of what had been a fairly competitive clash. Jones, starting his seventh straight game for an ailing Josh Giddey , had an absolutely elite scoring run to keep the game competitive late. Ultimately, Hou...

Every game feels like a referendum on whether moves need to be made for a team with worryingly few pieces available to them. Every moment feels like an invitation for national media to question the long-term fit of the franchise star alongside an aging roster. Every basket feels like it’s made on borrowed time. I […]
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams paired together in a standout performance – galvanizing Oklahoma city during a pair of third quarter runs to turn a relatively tight game into a 119-98 blowout. San Antonio’s Victor Wembanyama (17 points and 7 rebounds) and Stephon Castle (20 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebonds) tried to match OKC’s […]
In a five-game stretch in which the Milwaukee Bucks play the top four teams in the Western Conference, they got off to the worst possible start, losing at home to the Minnesota Timberwolves by nearly 40 points.
