What we learned from the Spurs win over the Celtics

One night, in the early 1980s, as he had done many times before, my father climbed out of his window and into the evening air. Pedaling quietly through a landscape of asphalt and the warm sodium yellow of streetlamps, his bicycle carved its way past the darkened silhouettes of neighborhood domesticity until he’d arrived at […]

Three questions and three answers from Real Madrid 2-3 Barcelona

3 glaring numbers from Heat’s last 2 blowout loss

Every NBA season has peaks and valleys. Right now, the Miami Heat are in their steepest valley of the season to date. They have lost by 28 and 24 points, respectively, over their last two games to the Minnesota Timberwolves and Indiana Pacers. It might be useful to throw away the film. But there’s a […] The post 3 glaring numbers from Heat’s last 2 blowout loss appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Heat need more out of Bam Adebayo

Bam Adebayo is in a clear offensive slump right now, and it’s hurting the Miami Heat. That statement says a lot, considering all the other things Adebayo brings to the table to impact winning. He remains the team’s greatest defender by far, and still adds that versatility of switching 1-5 on a nightly basis. The […] The post Heat need more out of Bam Adebayo appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Bam Adebayo and Norman Powell share thoughts on adapting to new starting lineup 

After the Miami Heat got embarrassed by the depleted and last place Indiana Pacers on Saturday, it showed that this group has a lot of work to do.

The Day After 45.0: Kings edge out road victory against Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers still can’t win three consecutive games. They were handed a prime opportunity on Saturday, with the Los Angeles Kings coming to town fresh off a loss in Winnipeg the night before. Leon Draisaitl, who was honoured prior to puck drop for reaching 1,000 career NHL points, opened the scoring midway through the…

I Can’t Stop Watching This Caleb Williams Throw

Michael Jordan over Craig Ehlo. Patrick Kane’s backhander for the hat trick against the Canucks. Caleb Williams’ 4th-and-8 throw to Rome Odunze in the 4th Quarter. By no means am I saying the Bears are on their way to dynasty runs like Michael Jordan’s Bulls or the Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews era Blackhawks. But if we’re fortunate enough to see Caleb Williams lead the Bears to a Super Bowl at one point, we’re going to look back at that throw as the official stamp of arrival. Jordan an...

Comments from the Other Side - Spurs 1/10/26

 I think the 3 games in 4 nights caught up to them at the end.  Their shots were short.  4 free throws for the Celtics is rather telling.  Jaylen Brown was very heated about the lack of calls after the game.  I can relate to the fans who hate seeing White on the Celtics.  I hurt every time I see Marcus Smart on the Lakers.  They were quite complementary of the Celtics.  It's funny how they trash their own players until they do something good and then it'...

Big Night for Chicago! Bulls Dominate the Mavs, Schröder-Luka Altercation, and Other Bulls Bullets

What a night! On January 10, the Chicago Bulls, the Blackhawks , the Cubs , and the Bears all grabbed a win of their own. The city is riding a wave of euphoria it doesn’t quite know how to handle, but it’s handling it with a lot of smiles and plenty of flexing on social media. I don’t know about you, but the way the Bulls won last night was the real surprise. What a 2-hour span for the Windy City. Have yourself a night, Chicago! 🤩 pic.twitter.com/DLENZKgNmx — SportsCenter (@S...

There’s one obvious win from Celtics’ brutal loss to Spurs

BOSTON — Baylor Scheierman only knows one way: to play with an edge. To blow kisses after made baskets. To talk trash. He just hasn’t always had the opportunity to show it. But, on Saturday, with the Celtics hosting the San Antonio Spurs in a primetime matchup between two of the NBA’s top teams, Scheierman […]

All I Wanted: Blackhawks 3, Predators 0

Thanks in large part to its goaltending, Chicago picked up two more vital points with a 3-0 win on the road over the Nashville Predators on Saturday night. After a scoreless first period, the Hawks took the lead for good at the 6:41 mark of the second, when Connor Bedard evaded some Nashville defenders and found Tyler Bertuzzi in his usual spot for a tap-in goal: GOAL: Connor Bedard WHAT A PLAY to set up Bertuzzi for a tap-in goal 😮‍💨 pic.twitter.com/v83lt7e6rg — BHF (@Blackhaw...

GAME PREVIEW: Heat will attempt to snap two-game losing skid against Thunder in OKC

If the previous two embarrassing blowout losses were too difficult for the Miami Heat, they need to brace themselves for their most difficult matchup they could face this season versus the reigning NBA champion OKC Thunder on the second leg of a road back-to-back. It will be the final game of the Heat’s winless road […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat will attempt to snap two-game losing skid against Thunder in OKC appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Why the Lakers have been so good in the clutch

Through 36 games, the Lakers’ 13 losses continue to be discussed more than their 23 wins. The discourse, while at times unfair given their record and the often ignored context of how shorthanded they have been, is also the medicine the team must swallow for the beatdowns they have endured. This is because when the […]

10 takeaways from facing Wemby in the Garden

#1 – Can’t get to the line if you don’t attack the rim Let’s get the referee topic out of the way before we dig in. The Celtics’ low number of free throws last night, and overall this season, isn’t caused by a conspiracy against Boston. Free-throw volume is highly correlated with rim pressure. However, […]
