Tari Eason’s value for Rockets extends beyond the tracking data

Tari Eason has become an unheralded player. Such is life for “glue guys” in the NBA. They do things that don’t always show up on the stat sheet. They impact the game without always impacting the box score.  Fans tend to overlook them at times. And front offices underestimate their value. This sums up Eason’s […]

GM #45: New York Islanders @ Winnipeg Jets

The month of December wasn’t a great one for Winnipeg Jets’ goaltenders, as it only provided Connor Hellebuyck & Eric Comrie with one win each. Now that the calendar has flipped over to January, the masked men have already equaled that plateau before the mid-month mark. The True North franchise is currently on their 4th multi-game winning streak of the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign, after posting victories over the Los Angeles Kings & New Jersey Devils, and will be hoping to extend that versus t...

Is LeBron Retiring? Chicago-Miami Mini Series, Game Day in Houston, and Other Bulls Bullets

Wake up, Chicago, it’s game day! Tonight the Chicago Bulls head to Texas to take on the Houston Rockets. This will be the first time these two teams face each other this season, so honestly, anything could happen (Houston are the favorites… cough cough). It’s also the first game of a back-to-back, so it would really help Chicago if the winner gets decided a little earlier than the final buzzer. And there’s plenty more to talk about too, including LeBron James and the newly reschedule...

Kingston Flemings is crashing the top of the NBA Draft party

As the Dallas Mavericks continue to battle severe injury and a poor roster, it is only fair for some of us to turn a wandering eye towards what is happening in the college game.

Arne Slot Says Barnsley FA Cup Win a Better Result Than Performance

By the time the final whistle blew on Monday night’s Third Round FA Cup tie, Liverpool had secured a quite comfortable looking 4-1 victory over League One’s Barnsley. For those watching the match play out, though, it perhaps hadn’t seemed quite so comfortable. After scoring on a pair of quite spectacular—and quite unlikely to lead […]

Wizards Check-Up: Better and More Competitive But Still Bad

With two days off between games, it’s time for a Washington Wizards checkup. After a 5-2 binge (7-5 over a 12-game stretch), their record stands at 10-28. That’s the fourth worst winning percentage in the league, and more or less in line with what the oddsmakers thought — preseason over/under lines pegged them as a […]

POLL: Would you trade Tyler Herro for Ja Morant?

The Miami Heat’s 14-7 start to the 2025-26 season feels like a distant memory. They are back fighting to avoid their fourth-straight play-in at 20-19. And it’s become clearer they need an(other) injection of life. Should that be Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant? He’s one of the most polarizing players in the league. But he […] The post POLL: Would you trade Tyler Herro for Ja Morant? appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

In an NBA season already defined by jaw-dropping shots and highlight dunks, Victor Wembanyama — the San Antonio Spurs’ 7-foot-4 franchise centerpiece — gave the basketball world something truly different: a viral flying kick that wasn’t meant to score points, but redefined the limits of human athleticism.
