The Boston Celtics lost a heartbreaker to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night, the Thunder taking a 2-point lead off of free-throws with just 0.8 seconds left in regulation. While the loss may sting, the game was incredibly encouraging for an under-manned Celtics team going against the top record in the league. Jayson Tatum […]
The Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz will face off tonight in a 7:00 PM contest between teams at the lower-to-middle end of the Western Conference standings. The 20-46 Jazz are headed straight for the ping pong ball pit, hoping to gather as many as possible for the NBA Draft Lottery in May. The 31-35 […]
The Utah Jazz will be travelling to Portland on Friday night to take on the Portland Trailblazers. Currently, the Jazz are dealing with a myriad of injuries that could make this matchup less interesting than one could hope. After a few late season adds in Anderrson Garcia, Blake Hinson, and Bez Mbeng, the team out […]
Pedro Neto’s behavior after receiving his second yellow in the match against Arsenal a couple weeks ago has been deemed egregious enough for our winger to be hit with an additional one-match ban, which he will serve this weekend, thus ruling him out from our game tomorrow against Newcastle United. “Pedro Neto has been given […]
The Dallas Mavericks (22-44) play host to the Cleveland Cavaliers (40-26) on Friday on the second night of a back-to-back. The Mavericks are coming off a win in one of the year’s biggest Tank games, where they outlasted the vaunted Grizz starting four NBA 2k randomly generated characters and former Mav, Olivier-Maxence Prosper. Now they’ll […]
The Charlotte Hornets have actually been good this season. Normally by March, we’ve dissected and digested every mock draft and are looking for any avenue of player development in the hopes that one day the team will be good. Well the team is good now, so we’ve kind of collectively forgotten about the lottery and […] The post The Greensboro Swarm are one of the best teams in the G League first appeared on At The Hive .
The Brooklyn Nets are signing guard Malachi Smith, a 6’4” combo guard, to a 10-day contract. Smith has spent this season with Brooklyn’s G-League affiliate, the Long Island Nets, while on a standard G-League contract. At least temporarily, Smith fills the Nets open roster spot. Hoopshype’s Michael Scotto was the first to report the news… […]

The days leading up to the NCAA Tournament can be just as big for WNBA Draft prospects as the tournament itself. By mid-March, most WNBA veterans have typically already signed in free agency, leaving precious few roster spots for incoming rookies and narrowing down who might get drafted to where. But this is, of course, […]
The Portland Trail Blazers will look to bounce back from a tough loss when they host the Utah Jazz at 7:00 p.m. Pacific tonight at the Moda Center. The Blazers led the majority of the game, but allowed a 19-point advantage to gradually slip away in a 103-101 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday […]
What happened against the New Orleans Pelicans can’t be swept under the rug. In what was arguably the most embarrassing moment of the season, the Toronto Raptors allowed the Pelicans’ Dejounte Murray to punk Jamal Shead. But despite the Raptors moving on to their next game against the Phoenix Suns on Friday, the rest of […]
I would much rather the Celtics have won that game but it was a good game nonetheless. No White, Tatum or Vucevic and they led for much of the game and came very close to a win. All that without 3 of our top 7 players. I know OKC was missing 2 of theirs also but I think the players the Celtics were missing were more impactful. Also, last game of a road trip after crossing time zones makes a big difference. And, the 2nd game in a row where the officiating inf...
Barcelona’s busy schedule continues on Sunday with a very important La Liga match against Sevilla, with the Catalans looking for some revenge against the team that handed them one of their worst losses of the season while also looking to maintain their healthy advantage at the top of the table. But Hansi Flick also has […]
The USA Basketball women’s national team defeated Puerto Rico 91-48 on Thursday in San Juan for the FIBA Women’s World Cup Qualifying Tournament. Like their first game against Senegal, this wasn’t really a contest. In fact, Team USA never trailed in this one. The Puerto Ricans shot 28.1 percent for the entire contest and attempted […]
Following his second career ejection, Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown remained adamant that his reaction toward officials Tyler Ford and Suyash Mehta was justified. Brown didn’t believe Mehta had grounds to eject him and felt the NBA’s decision not to fine him was an indication the league, too, believed he was in the right after […]
With the Western Conference a tight-knit race yet again this season, this series will look at the standings and games to watch across the league as the Lakers look to secure home court and move up the standings.

Over the last three and a half seasons, Jalen Brunson has become one of the premier players in the league. He’s a three-time All-Star who has made the All-NBA Second Team twice, is constantly heralded as one of the best scorers in the league, and he’s coming off a Clutch Player of the Year Award. […]
Coming off a tough win against the Boston Celtics, the Spurs battled the Denver Nuggets. It was announced before the game that Victor Wembanyama would not play due to ankle soreness. Nonetheless, the Spurs dominated the first half. They outscored the Nuggets 37-25 in the first quarter, led by as much as 20 points, and […]
Alisson could potentially return to training today after doing rehab work with physios prior to today. Arne Slot is cautiously optimistic about his potential involvement on Sunday: “He’s been with the physios and with rehab until now. “We are training today as you know, so let’s see if he can join the team session today. […]
A wise man once said that comparison is the thief of joy. So is appreciating greatness in today’s social media-driven era, apparently. The latter isn’t a new phenomenon, though it was reassured as a result of Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game against the Washington Wizards earlier this week. While many of his peers have shed light […] The post Bam Adebayo crushes critics over 83-point game: ‘You can’t be mad at that’ appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Meaningless basketball is back in Philadelphia. Watching the 76ers lose to the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night felt like a harkening back to the Process days of yore. With nearly the entire roster injured or suspended, the Sixers rolled out a group against the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons that contained rookie VJ Edgecombe, Quentin Grimes and […]
The Maine Celtics will wear special EmpowHER-themed jerseys on Friday night against the Grand Rapids Gold, the Denver Nuggets’ G League affiliate.

Its color palette includes green […]
