1. Jaylen Brown Big 2nd Half After his 3o-point streak came to an end against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, Jaylen Brown started the game off cold in the first half against the Kings, scoring 10 points and shooting 4-12 from the field. Then after halftime, Brown found his stroke as he scored 11 points […]
It’s been over three weeks since Jordan Walsh logged extended minutes for the Boston Celtics, a stretch unrelated to the illness that sidelined him on Dec. 22 or to his on-court performance. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla clarified that after Boston’s 120-106 win over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night. Walsh made his 19th consecutive […]
New year, old Celtics. Boston headed into Sacramento with a 5-1 record since the NBA Cup gap in the schedule. However, there have been a few areas to clean up. Over the last four games, Boston had lost four consecutive first quarters by a total of 28 points and before tightening the screws against the […]
We’re back! Happy New Year! Welcome to the five highest-IQ plays of the week! Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve. The plays that get the basketball sickos and nerds out of their […]

LOS ANGELES — Watching the Lakers play against good teams this year is like watching a rerun of your favorite TV show where you know what’s going to happen. They’ll lose in blowout fashion and the opponent’s youth and athleticism will feel jarring compared to the lethargic tempo the Lakers play at. This has been […]
In year one under Kellie Harper, Mizzou women’s basketball is already off to a hot start. At the end of non-conference play, the Tigers are sitting at 12-3 for their best record entering SEC play since 2022-23. But this has come with several close calls, including single-digit wins against the likes of Central Arkansas, SIUE […]
Rafael Stone was once the NBA’s pariah. It’s hard to recall now, but it’s true. He was the scourge of the league. How dare Stone engineer intentional losses? It seems the league always needs a tanking scapegoat. It’s a practice as old as superstition, but it has changed. When the league flattened the lottery odds, […]
Well, if we’ve learned anything over the last two weeks, it’s that the Lakers absolutely do not have it. They have had different lineups, different rotations, different teams and different settings. In all but one — which barely counts since it is against the Kings — they not only lost, but did so in blowout […]

The Spurs will be shorthanded when they host the Knicks on Wednesday, as Devin Vassell has been ruled out due to an adductor strain. Stephon Castle could also miss the game with a sprained thumb, but there’s a chance he suits up as he was listed as questionable. Vassell headed to the locker room with […]
We’re still waiting for Fabio Paratici’s confirmation as Fiorentina’s new sporting director despite reporting that the deal’s pretty much done, with his contract at Tottenham Hotspur being the only remaining holdup. The question is if he’ll get his stuff moved into the RBCVPFPWCKGAWTLTDOSGT before the January transfer window opens (unlikely), but everyone agrees that he’ll […]

Lakers head coach JJ Redick promised changes in the rotation before LA played Sacramento and he delivered. With the Lakers down a ball handler due to Austin Reaves’ calf injury, Redick relied more on Nick Smith Jr. and adjusted Luka Dončić‘s minutes. Typically, Luka plays the entire opening quarter, but in the Lakers’ win against […]
With 2026 fast approaching, I looked at several Wisconsin Badgers sports squads and came up with a resolution that makes sense for each of them. (Sorry, “Winning a Natty” is a bit too on the nose for this exercise.) Here’s to a robust early Happy New Year to Badgers everywhere, and to big things in 2026 for all […]
Foul baiter, flopper, not ethical, unwatchable, disgusting. Jalen Brunson and his game have been called all of these things. But these opinions are voiced rarely, if ever, by people who actually watch and know basketball. These lazy and statistically false narratives are often perpetuated by those who are either salty after losing to Brunson and […]
The unofficial start of the NBA trade season (December 15) has passed, and to nobody’s surprise, the Rockets have not made any moves. However, with the season being anything but smooth so far, with losses to the Utah Jazz, New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings, and L.A. Clippers being just a few examples of how they […]
The Lakers have been prone to some frustrating lapses in games this season. Rarely, if at all, have they been able to put together a full 48-minute effort. At it’s worst, LA nearly blew a 20-point lead to the Suns in dramatic fashion, barely hanging on by the skin of their teeth…and by Dillon Brooks’ […]
If the Brooklyn Nets beat the Golden State Warriors Monday night, with or without Steph Curry flashing shots from half court or beyond, the Nets will have won eight games out of 10 in December and likely secured their reputation as one of the NBA’s best defensive teams. Going into the 7:30 p.m. ET contest […]
Although Alex Bregman is one of the most highly sought-after free agents this winter, his market has been fairly narrow and well-defined for a while now. And yet, lately, the specifics have begun to evolve. A few weeks ago, Bregman’s market was pretty unanimously boiled down to three teams: (1) The Cubs, who made him an offer last offseason, (2) the Tigers, who made him an offer last offseason, and (3) the incumbent Red Sox, who signed him last offseason. Today, that looks a little differ...
LOS ANGELES — Entering Sunday’s contest against the Kings, the Lakers were struggling. They were dealing with their first losing streak of the season, and after Lakers head coach JJ Redick said practice would be “uncomfortable” after their third straight defeat, everyone wanted to see how LA would respond. The Lakers reacted with their largest margin […]
Los Angeles snapped their losing streak with a 125-101 win over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night. LA’s superstars started the offense off with a combined eight points. Smart missed his only shot attempt, but was doing a bit of everything with one steal and two assists, including a beautiful lob to LeBron. At the […]
