If the OKC game was exciting, frustrating and encouraging in equal measure, this game was pure frustration. The Rockets have started the year playing two “Can’t Call ‘Em All” defenses, though Detroit is actually a more extreme version. An average Sengun or Amen game is a Rockets win. They had something considerably worse. Tonight’s reverse […]

The Dallas Mavericks fell to the Washington Wizards 117-107 in Friday night’s matchup at home. The horrid loss marks Dallas’ second of the season, and follows a rather forgettable 125-92 defeat to Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs. Daniel Gafford (ankle sprain), Dante Exum (mysteriously undisclosed leg injury?), and Kyrie Irving (ACL) were all out for the Mavericks. […]

After a too easy and perhaps too fun opening night blowout of the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs came back down to earth a bit against an injured New Orleans Pelicans club that at least has a healthy Zion Williamson back. It was a back-and-forth, ugly game where neither team ever led by double figures or […]

It was a dicey fourth quarter, but the Cleveland Cavaliers held off the Brooklyn Nets 131-124 to pick up their first win of the season. Despite blowing a 25-point lead, the Cavs dug in for the final four minutes and played physical basketball to avoid a full collapse. Grades are based on our expectations for […]

Washington went into Dallas and beat the Mavericks, 117-107. The Wizards’ bench played a significant role in the outcome of this game. It started ugly with the Mavericks going up by as many as 14 points. Towards the end of the first quarter, Tre Johnson and Cam Whitmore entered the game while Kyshawn George returned […]

ter a scandal-wracked Thursday the Portland Trail Blazers will take the floor tonight against the Golden State Warriors. This will be the first game with Interim Head Coach Tiago Splitter at the helm. It’ll be interesting to see if the Blazers can keep up their furious pace—and constant substitution patterns—from their opening-night tilt versus the […]

The Pelicans provided a much tougher test for the Silver and Black tonight than the poorly constructed roster of the Mavericks on Wednesday. The combination of elite shooting and ball movement kept the Spurs defense off balance as the home crowd kept the environment hostile for the Spurs. It was a good learning experience for […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers grabbed their first win of the season, seemingly despite their best intentions. The Cavaliers nearly coughed up a 25-point second-half lead to the lowly Brooklyn Nets before securing a 131-124 victory. This will go down as a win in the standings, but it was hardly one to feel good about for the […]

Kenny Atkinson praised the Brooklyn Nets for how much trouble they gave his team last year before tipoff this evening. With Cleveland eyeing a Larry O’Brien and the Nets eyeing ping pong balls, they gave Cleveland more than any game preview expected, especially in November, when Brooklyn nearly ended their perfect start to the season.

Anytime the New York Knicks (2-0) beat the Boston Celtics (0-2) is a holiday at our house. Tonight at MSG, our heroes creamed them in the second quarter by 28 points, and that was enough to offset a shaky second half. Final score, Knicks 105, Celtics 95. Despite the team shooting 38% tonight, all the […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers won their first game of the season, knocking down the Brooklyn Nets 131-124. It wasn’t pretty at the end, but a win is a win. Cleveland started this game as you’d expect: up by double digits. The night followed this trend through three quarters, with the Cavs firmly in the driver’s seat […]

Josh Hart returned to the Knicks lineup after missing their win on Wednesday against the Cavaliers. He did not start as […]

The Atlanta Hawks were in Orlando on Friday evening to face the Magic after a disappointing season opener against the Toronto Raptors. It would be a tough battle to redeem themselves, as they came into the matchup down Zaccharie Risacher with an ankle injury and Kristaps Porzingis with flu-like symptoms. Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Onyeka Okongwu […]

The Toronto Raptors’ home opener, which many were considering the “opening act” to the Blue Jays’ World Series opening game, put this fresh Raps squad head-to-head with the Greek Freak. Giannis Antetokounmpo, former NBA MVP and one of the league’s best big men, is a hard match-up for literally anyone. After Toronto was able to […]

Mohamed Salah has seemed somewhat diminished this season, admitting difficulty both coping with the loss of Diogo Jota and the integration of new players — and it’s also worth saying that exits to other players who moved to other sides would have had an impact as well. Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Brentford, Arne […]

The Minnesota Vikings got curb stomped by an otherwise unremarkable Los Angeles Chargers team in prime time, a game in which the Vikings looked entirely unprepared and appeared to have checked out early. It was a complete embarrassment for the franchise and the type of performance that casts a shadow over the future of the […]
