Time is a construct we humans made to contextualize life. As arbitrary as time is, it does help place events in a specific place. It gives us fresh starts and resets days and years. With our calendars now set for 2026, the Lakers can start fresh, too. Well, sort of. It’s not a new season, […]
The Washington Wizards don’t expect to play new guard Trae Young much in the 2025-26 season and hope to see him start in the 2026-27 season, according to Joshua Robbins of The Athletic. The decision to do this makes sense, considering that the Wizards are looking to rebuild and keep their 2026 first round pick […]
Over the last two years, we’ve seen different iterations of the double-big lineup that features both Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson. There are reasons that both Tom Thibodeau and Mike Brown have gone to it. It matches up better theoretically against bigger teams. It gives them an actual rim protector in Robinson, without giving up […]

Young Joel Embiid could make a poster on any given night. Hell, he’d show up to a Philly neighborhood court and dunk on Joe Schmo. But multiple knee surgeries later, dunks haven’t been a part of Embiid’s game in recent years. Over the first seven years of his career, Embiid averaged 63.9 dunks in 56.3 […]
Our Chicago Bulls find themselves in the midst of another losing streak. Chicago has now dropped three straight after getting thoroughly waxed on Wednesday, 108-93, by a Detroit Pistons club missing starters Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, and Tobias Harris. The 17-20 Bulls are hoping to stop the bleeding when they return to the United Center on Thursday. They’ll face the similarly mid Miami Heat (20-17) on the second night of a back-to-back. © Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images ...
When the Knicks acquired Deuce McBride in the 2021 draft, he was looked at by many as an athletic defensive pest with some playmaking and shooting potential.

With the current state of college basketball, former NBA draft picks playing in college, a 25-year-old who’s already logged time in...
Boston’s loss against Denver wasn’t just about missed shots or late-game execution. It was, above all, a night where defensive choices, communication, and coverage discipline consistently put the Celtics in uncomfortable situations. Jamal Murray became the main stress test — and the Celtics never fully solved it. The Celtics started the game with Jaylen Brown […]

So, Trae Young is the newest member of the Washington Wizards. This piece started life as a column called “To Trae Trade, Or Not To Trae Trade” debating the pros and cons of going through with the trade, and then about 45 minutes after I finished writing it he was traded. Young was a distressed […]

On Tuesday night, the Boston Celtics faced off against the Denver Nuggets, a cross-conference battle between top teams.

The Wizards lost to the Philadelphia 76ers last night, which was immediately superseded in impact by news of the trade sending CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Trae Young. No draft picks were included in the deal. The transaction gives the Wizards someone widely considered a star. Young is […]
Not sure why the Celtics can play so good one night and then play so bad the next. Is it focus or effort or what? Nuggets fans were trashing their coach and Nnaji to start and then at the end both were the best. I'm sure some of the trade Jokic comments were joking but I have to think some were really thinking it. they were talking about how they hate the way the Celtics play because they shoot so many 3's. The Nuggets shot 6 more 3's than the Celtics. Well,...
