3 big questions ahead of Celtics-Pistons

Can Boston cut into Detroit’s lead?  At the start of the season, most fans expected Boston to be middle of the pack due to Jayson Tatum’s injury and the offseason losses of Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet, Al Horford and Jrue Holiday. Instead, through 41 games, Boston sits second in the Eastern Conference, 4.5 games behind […]

2026 NBA All-Star Starters Announced

Amidst a special triple-header Martin Luther King Jr. Day slate of national games on NBC/Peacock, the NBA’s 10 All-Star starters for next month were announced. And no, injured Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey — the Bulls’ best player this year — did not make the cut. After missing 10 straight games for Chicago with a hamstring strain, there’s a decent chance Giddey won’t be named an All-Star reserve this year, either. He’s been enjoying a breakout run, averaging a near-triple-double ...

Who Will the Next Trail Blazers Coach Be?

The Portland Trail Blazers have finally regained a .500 record, standing at 22-22 after 44 games of their 2025-26 regular season. This is more or less in line with their preseason expectations, fighting for a spot in the Play-In Tournament for the 2026 NBA Playoffs. Winning 3 in a row and 10 of their last […]

Luka Dončić earns sixth All-Star selection

For the first time in his career, Luka Dončić led the league in voting en route to the sixth All-Star selection of his career. Luka was named a starter for the Western Conference — which means effectively nothing since it’ll be USA vs. World teams — on Monday. Joining Luka from the west is Nikola […]

What Hansi Flick told Barcelona players after Real Sociedad defeat

Barcelona saw their 11-game winning streak snapped on Sunday as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Real Sociedad in La Liga. A tough night in the Basque Country saw Barcelona have three goals ruled out, a penalty awarded and then scrubbed off and the team hit the woodwork on four different occasions. Frenkie de […]

Victor Wembanyama named All-Star starter

The San Antonio Spurs have their first All-Star starter in nearly a decade. On Monday, Victor Wembanyama was named a 2026 Western Conference All-Star starter. It’s the big man’s second All-Star appearance, and his first time being named a starter. He joins Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, and Nikola Jokic as the West’s starters. […]

Giannis named All-Star Starter

In the midst of the Bucks’ tilt against the Atlanta Hawks, Shams Charania of ESPN reported the full Eastern Conference starting five for the NBA All-Star Game next month in Los Angeles. Giannis was named a starter along with the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson, the Pistons’ Cade Cunningham, the 76ers’ Tyrese Maxey, and the Celtics’ Jaylen […]

Non-Lakers Discussion Thread: Week of Jan. 19-25

It is Week 14 of NBA play. Also, this week is Amazon Rival Week, so expect actual rivalries wtih some very recent and some based on locations with hardly any history. I will add an AWS next to the games if you are interested. The Lakers’ record is 25-16, and they are the No. 6 […]

Jalen Brunson named All-Star starter

While the Knicks are currently dealing with some injuries and recent struggles, their captain added another personal accolade to his mantle on Monday before the MLK Day clash with the Mavericks. Jalen Brunson was named to his third all-star team and was named a starter for the second consecutive season. Unlike last season, where Brunson […]

Blackhawks vs Jets — Toews’ Return, Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

I’ve used the same image of a Blackhawks’ jersey for every other pregame post this season (with the exceptions for the jerseys in which they wear black). Tonight’s different because… it’s different. The Captain returns. It’s going to be a special night at the United Center, with a hockey game taking place as well. Jonathan Toews speaks with a collection of media he hasn’t had to deal with in a few years about facing the #Blackhawks tonight pic.twitter.com/yZXr5LOQRC — Tab Bamford ...

Jaylen Brown just got amazing All-Star news

For the first time in his 10-year NBA career, Jaylen Brown will be an All-Star starter. Amid a career season, Brown has been selected by fans, other NBA players, and the media as one of the five Eastern Conference players to start in the All-Star game. Alongside Brown, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, New York […]

2026 NBA All-Star Starters Named

The starters for the 2026 NBA All Star Game have been named. Lineups were voted on by fans and media members over the last few months. Only starters—or presumed starters—are so selected. Two-thirds of the lineups for the actual All-Star festivities remain to be selected. There’s also the matter of the All Star format change […]

Tyrese Maxey earns starting spot in 2026 All-Star game

This afternoon, the NBA announced its 2026 All-Star starters, and on Feb. 15, a very deserving Sixer will be on the court for the opening tip in Los Angeles. This will be Tyrese Maxey’s first All-Star starting appearance, after previously making the team as a reserve in 2024. Through 38 games, Maxey has averaged 30.3 […]

Blazers Move Up in NBA Power Rankings

The Portland Trail Blazers and the No. 20 spot in NBA.com’s weekly power rankings has been one of the greatest love stories of our time this season. As Dave Deckard pointed out last Tuesday, it seems almost every week this season, the Blazers have found themselves in that familiar place in the countdown. However, after […]
