The Bucks’ 2025–26 season has not gone the way they wanted, especially in a year where they are trying to convince Giannis Antetokounmpo—eligible for an extension next fall—to stay around long term. They sit in the Eastern Conference’s 10th seed, Giannis himself is weeks away from returning as he recovers from a calf strain, and […]
It also could’ve gone worse. And it didn’t do that, either. All things considered, not a top 50 disappointing game in Seattle Seahawks history. It had all the right ingredients for a catastrophe casserole, but in the end nobody choked. An afternoon that definitely started annoying was quelled before reaching full rage-inducing mode. In conclusion, […]
Playoffs? Playoffs?! After the Dallas Cowboys lost at home to the Minnesota Vikings, they aren’t eliminated from the postseason. However, their chances are very bleak. The Cowboys squandered opportunities to build a lead and control the game, and the same problems that have plagued them all season once again resurfaced in a game they had […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have had an interesting week. They lost to the New Orleans Pelicans in dramatic fashion. Then they bounced back with a semi-gutsy win against the Golden State Warriors, whose number they appear to have on speed dial. 1-1 may not seem like a definitive record, but when you’re used to losing […]
Could Billy Donovan’s future with the Chicago Bulls be in jeopardy now that the bloom is fully off the (Derrick?) rose on the team’s season? Greetings all, new Bleacher Nation contributor Alex Kirschenbaum here. My colleague, Joshua Miranda, and I are eager to get cooking, and we promise will not be sugarcoating anything as we unpack what’s looking like yet another lost season in 2025-26 for the league’s greatest franchise. I’m only a little biased. Chicago started the season with a ...
It’s officially Dec. 15! A somewhat pivotal day in the NBA calendar, as all contracts in the league (most notably ones signed just over six months ago in the summer) become tradeable. Even more importantly, players traded today and tomorrow can have their salaries aggregated in additional deals ahead of this year’s deadline. So, with […]
Jokmas rings in this year with a week of big matchups against playoff contenders. In the first of two, the good guys will host the… The post Preview: Nuggets shoot for a Merry Jokmas at home against the red-hot Rockets appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
Over the weekend, former Memphis Grizzlies and New York Knicks head coach David Fizdale sought to give Houston Rockets two-way standout Amen Thompson his flowers. Understandably so, as Thompson hasn’t been necessarily having a consistent season. Up-and-down would be the best way to coin it. It’s not entirely on him. The point guard experiment has […]
As the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams prepare to meet in a pivotal NFC West clash, the betting market at FanDuel Sportsbook reflects just how evenly matched these division leaders are — and how much is on the line. With both teams locked near the top of the NFC and playoff seeding implications, oddsmakers […]
BOSTON — The Boston Celtics (15-10) will look to bounce back from a Thursday night loss to the Milwaukee Bucks when they host the Detroit Pistons (20-5) on Monday. But, as they look to get back on track, they could be without Payton Pritchard, who is listed as questionable due to a neck right neck […]
The Miami Heat’s hot start to the 2025-26 season has unfortunately cooled off. Heading into Monday night’s matchup versus the visiting Toronto Raptors, Miami is looking to finally snap a four-game losing skid and secure a long overdue bounce back win. Additionally, they have lost five of their last six games and have limped to […] The post Kel’el Ware’s sudden role change has proven to impact the ceiling of this Heat team appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
No. 21 Ohio State women’s basketball won its seventh game in a row on Sunday, an 85-60 victory over the Toledo Rockets of the Mid-American Conference. For the third game in a row, though, there was little to convince outsiders that the Buckeyes are a team prepared for Big Ten play. “I think they’re a […]
The Portland Trail Blazers hold a 10-16 record in their 2025-26 NBA Campaign. Sitting 11th in the Western Conference, looking motivated some nights and confused on others, would normally bring considerations of a reset. But Zach Harper of The Athletic has Portland firmly in the “buyers” department at the opening of NBA Trade Season [subscription […]
The Portland Trail Blazers were given a lot of time to rest this week, playing only the New Orleans Pelicans and Golden State Warriors. They lost to the Pelicans and beat the Warriors, going 1-1 on the week. Through those two games, the Blazer of the Week is Shaedon Sharpe. Sharpe averaged 28.0 points, 3.0 […]
There have been 50 draftees who have played at least five minutes in an NBA game this season. Miami Heat rookie Kasparas Jakucionis, who the franchise drafted No. 20 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, is not one of them. Jakucionis’ lone minute — 54 seconds, to be exact — came in the Heat’s 140-123 […] The post Davion Mitchell raves about Heat rookie: ‘He’s a dawg on both ends’ appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Dallas Mavericks (10–16) are in Salt Lake City Monday night to face the Utah Jazz (9–15) in the opener of a four-game season series. Tipoff is set for 8:00 PM CT at the Delta Center. Dallas has won two straight — both at home — and now hits the road looking for something it […]
Can the Celtics beat Detroit again? The Detroit Pistons (20-5) sit atop the Eastern Conference and have shown the consistency of a legitimate contender. A few weeks ago, however, Boston (15-10) pulled off a mild upset, defeating Detroit 117-114 at TD Garden during the NBA Cup group phase. The Pistons entered that night riding a […]
It is far from an overreaction to state that the Cleveland Cavaliers are in the midst of a disastrous season. Standing currently at 15-12, based on the past few seasons, one could think they have gone through hell and back to come out that slow. Not at all. Actually, in the past two games, the […]
The news isn’t great, but it certainly could’ve been worse, too. After practice on Monday, Blackhawks coach Jeff Blashill provided an injury update on Connor Bedard, who suffered an apparent injury to his right shoulder while taking a faceoff in the closing seconds of Friday’s game against the St. Louis Blues. According to Blashill, Bedard is not expected back for this calendar year and will be re-evaluated when the calendar flips to 2026. Connor Bedard will be reevaluated after the ...
As we’ve discussed here at BH, December 15th is a key date for the Bucks’ ability to make roster moves. Per the CBA, any player signed this offseason as a free agent can’t be traded for the later date of three months after their signing or today unless they meet certain criteria, which I’ll get […]
The Minnesota Vikings went on the road to face the Dallas Cowboys and came home with a Sunday Night Football win. J.J. McCarthy is now 2-0 against the NFC East and will get his chance to go 3-0 next week against the New York Giants. He did not play in the Philadelphia Eagles game. The […]
The Nashville Predators are on a clear path to rebuilding and tearing it all down, much like the Chicago Blackhawks did before getting lucky with Connor Bedard and what the San Jose Sharks did, trading or moving on from all of their old core and old regime. The Predators need this. Roman Josi, Filip Forsberg, and Juuse Saros are three great pieces to have, but the team hasn't been built well around them and they missed their shot at a Stanley Cup because the door slammed shut last offseason af...
The Blackhawks announced some roster moves before practice on Monday morning in Chicago. Connor Bedard (upper body) was placed on injured reserve retroactive to Dec. 12. Defenseman Ethan Del Mastro was recalled from Rockford. Goaltender Laurent Brossoit was recalled from Rockford. After practice, Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said Bedard “will be reevaluated after the New Year.” The Blackhawks have seven games between now and the end of the calendar year, an...
