Victor Wembanyama unanimously wins Defensive Player of the Year
In his third year in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama is finally reaching many milestones we all knew were coming when he entered the league. While he made his first All-Star appearance last season, it was ultimately cut short due to deep vein thrombosis, and he missed out on award and All-NBA eligibility due to only […]
Kenny Atkinson compares Cavs guard James Harden to LeBron James
CLEVELAND — Telling someone back in 2015 that a Cleveland Cavaliers head coach would compare his point guard, James Harden, to Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James would probably break their brain. We live in a weird world. The Cavs have been rolling offensively since adding Harden in February. The speed at which he processes […]
Utah wins a coin flip: somewhere, Sam Presti utters a profanity
The Utah Jazz rejoice as a coin flip for the 4th-best lottery odds fell in their favor, securing the first-round pick away from Oklahoma City’s greedy clutches. At the fifth odds, there was a chance of slipping to the ninth pick and falling out of the top-8 protection bubble. At four, those odds are erased […]

Spurs vs. Trail Blazers player grades: Wembanyama leads Spurs to Game One victory
For all the talk of a young team with little experience, the San Antonio Spurs did exactly what contenders should do in the first round of the playoffs: handle a lower seed in front of their home crowd. The Spurs beat the Portland Trail Blazers in Game One, 111-98. The Spurs were led by their […]
Javi Navarro Leads Real Madrid’s Next Generation to Youth League Glory
Real Madrid’s second UEFA Youth League title will be remembered for many reasons — but above all, for the emergence of Javi Navarro as its defining figure. Hero in the semi-final. Hero again in the final. Across two matches that went the distance, Navarro delivered one of the most remarkable goalkeeping performances in the competition’s […]
Portland’s Cost-Cutting Gets National Attention
The Portland Trail Blazers are in the playoffs for the first time in five years, but the Blazers story on ESPN’s front page isn’t about their play, but about their pay… or rather, their unwillingness to pay under the leadership of new owner Tom Dundon: During Sunday’s Game 1 in San Antonio, the Portland Trail […]

The NBA held its draft tiebreaker drawings on Monday, April 20. It is worth clarifying what this process actually is, as this is not the Draft Lottery itself.

In case you need reminding, go ahead and rewatch Sunday’s game to see how much the Sixers miss Joel Embiid when he’s out. The team looked hopeless without the big fella, getting crushed by the Boston Celtics 123-91 in Game 1 Sunday. Sure, the Celtics are the favorites to get out of the East and […]

5 Sixers thoughts after their Game 1 stinker in Boston
Well, even the little sliver of optimism I had for this Sixers-Celtics series evaporated rather quickly on Sunday. Boston was dominant and the Sixers looked out-classed in every facet of Game 1.

How Boston took the wind out of Tyrese Maxey in Game 1
Tyrese Maxey is like the wind. He gets up to dangerous speeds, and can make you feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, Boston brought their windbreaker, and inside TD Garden there wasn’t even a breeze. Without Joel Embiid, Game 1 was all about Maxey. We knew that, he knew that, and most importantly, so did the Celtics. Maxey […]
