The Dallas Mavericks will convert point guard Ryan Nembhard’s two-way contract to a standard NBA deal, per Shams Charania.

Converting Nembhard to […]
The Dallas Mavericks are waiving veteran point guard Tyus Jones, per Marc Stein of The Stein Line. Stein reported late Friday that the team intended to waive Jones, a move that likely preceded converting Ryan Nembhard to a standard contract. Because the move happened prior to the March 1st deadline for playoff eligibility, Jones can […]

The Blackhawks kick off a weekend back-to-back in Denver on Saturday evening against the league-leading Colorado Avalanche. Colorado has basically spent this season doing laps around the rest of the league. At 38-10-9 (.746 points percentage), they’re five points clear of the next closest team in the standings and looking every bit like a group that knows exactly how good it is. The underlying numbers are just as suffocating: Colorado owns 56.14 percent of shot attempts (second in the lea...

When I first started following the Knicks in 1991, they had three epic losing streaks going on. They hadn’t won in Boston, Chicago or Cleveland for years. Not two or three seasons — the better part of a decade. You don’t forget bullying. Skin remembers. Bones, too. Pro’ly why to this day I’ve at some […]
Was a fun game from the Celtics point of view. I feel for the Nets players. They played hard and really tried. They unfortunately ran into the buzz saw that was the Celtics after a bad loss. Not a lot of Nets fans chatting, I guess most of them have given up until the team is good again. Hopefully we see the same Celtics against the 76ers on Sunday. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? Let's keep tanking. We have lots of g...
It’s always good to beat LA. Always. And it’s always good to beat LeBron James. And it’s great that LeBron joined the Lakers in order to make victories all the sweeter. For me, I sometimes wonder what LeBron thinks of Boston in his heart of hearts. He’s far too savvy to say anything out loud […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have drawn an extra-early game versus the Charlotte Hornets today. Portland has been up and down lately, beating teams that are starting the NBA’s annual tanking process, tending to fall to better opponents. The Hornets are one of the tweener franchises on the schedule. They’re definitely trying to win, with success […]
In case everything collapses in May, the Knicks showed Giannis what New York’s about on Friday. The Greek Freak watched from the sidelines as his current and future teams faced each other in Milwaukee. Here’s what was said before and after the affair. Mike Brown On choosing Diawara over Sochan: “Like, I said, those guys […]

No two names, across sports, produce more tangible juice than Lakers and Celtics. A sold-out crowd, with an unusually large number of Boston fans, packed the building in anticipation of the annual matchup in downtown Los Angeles last Sunday. LA wins the opening tip, and the ball finds its way into Luka Dončić’s hands. Right […]
For those of us who grew up watching the NBA on NBC in the 90’s, Tuesday’s broadcast for the Philadelphia 76ers’ home game against San Antonio will be a shot of nostalgia straight to the heart. NBC announced they are doing a ‘Throwback Tuesday’ telecast to recreate the experience of a 1995-96 broadcast. Just when […]
After a three-game win streak, the Miami Heat have since lost two straight.

1. Dominant Shooting Display Coming off of Boston’s lowest scoring output of the season against the Denver Nuggets at only 84 points, the Celtics came back home to TD Garden and set a new season-high in points with 148 against the Brooklyn Nets. Boston did this with some historic shooting, going 52-78 (67%) from the […]
During Nikola Vučević’s Boston Celtics debut, both sides struggled. Three weeks ago marked the beginning of Vučević’s acclimation, and since then, his synergy has begun to take shape. It was a stark contrast on Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Vučević’s offensive instincts kicked in, and decisively; he wasn’t hesitant. He was constantly in motion, […]

With two of five games in a seven day stretch now behind them, it’s safe to assume that the Colorado Avalanche were looking forward to the weekend.

You are stirred from a nightmare just before sunrise to a nightmare of the waking variety, by the shrill of feedback from a blown-out loudspeaker positioned at the end of an otherwise silent city block. The desolate streetscape to which it commands its muffled announcements remains bombed out from a civil uprising that took place […]
