The Portland Trail Blazers’ bench is completely different when Matisse Thybulle plays. What we saw from him yesterday in the Blazers’ 20-point win over a tired, but still formidable Golden State Warriors team was a masterclass in defensive disruption, and his near-team-high +22 in just 15 minutes didn’t feel aberrational or misleading. On the latest […]

After years of everyone seemingly knowing about the problem other than the Lakers, the team finally admitted they stink in third quarters after their season-opening loss to the Warriors. Even if it was long overdue, seeing them finally address it was at least a step in the right direction. But the team needed to follow […]
To borrow a turn of phrase from my fellow Mavsmoneyball contributor, Bryan Robi – Oooohhweee. The Mavericks derped their way to an embarrassing 107-117 loss to the Washington Wizards in the second game of their six-game homestand. Let that sink in – The Washington Wizards. Now, a lot of people might point to Kyshawn George’s […]
The Portland Trail Blazers might not be the only ones in for a major change in the wake of the betting scandal that rocked the NBA on Thursday. The Blazers lost their head coach, Chauncey Billups, to an indefinite league suspension after he was arrested for allegedly helping organized crime members rig poker games. According […]
The Portland Trail Blazers traded seven-year veteran Anfernee Simons to the Boston Celtics last summer, saying goodbye to a player they drafted and nurtured through an entire era of the franchise. So far the 6’3 guard has gotten off to a rocky start, averaging 11.5 points in 29.5 minutes per game, shooting 30% from the […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have had the microscope locked on them for the past 48 hours. The allegations surrounding suspended Head Coach Chauncey Billups have come as a shock, not only to the people watching from afar but surely to the players and coaches he worked with every day. My heart truly goes out to […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have been through a whirlwind first week of their 2025-26 season. They lost a narrow, fast-paced game to the heavily-favored Minnesota Timberwolves. The won in a blowout against the mildly-favored Golden State Warriors. Oh, and they replaced an entire head coach after a gambling scandal as big as anything that has […]
expected to draw two-way interest around the league While the G League draft is rarely cause for note, the Lakers made a very interesting move in Saturday’s. Holding the No. 1 pick after a trade, the Lakers selected former Thunder wing Dillon Jones. Oklahoma City drafted Jones in the 2024 draft with the No. 26 […]
Every once in a while, Saturday’s BN Bears Bullets get posted *AFTER* the lunching hour. My apologies for the tardiness, but when you’ve got breaking news like Lamar Jackson not starting for the Ravens and Kyler Gordon going on injured reserve , those things take priority. Once I’m done here, maybe I’ll allow myself to have breakfast. Something stinks about that Lamar Jackson situation. To go from a full participant and questionable to play on Sunday when Friday’s injury report post wen...

It’s been quite a while since a preseason storyline completely hijacked the fanbase quite like the Timberwolves’ backup point guard conundrum. Our SBNation Reacts question this week was supposed to be a simple poll. A fun little barbershop debate. Donte DiVincenzo? Rob Dillingham? Bones Hyland? Who’s gonna matter most as the non-Mike-Conley adult in the […]
Coming off a supernatural experience that opened the eyes of the basketball world against the Mavericks, the Spurs traveled to the Smoothie King Center to take on the New Orleans Pelicans. This time, a back-and-forth affair ensued. After Zion Williamson put Victor Wembanyama on a semi-poster, Wemby proceeded to block him at the rim three […]
You couldn’t script a more “welcome home, now fight for your life” kind of opener if you tried. The Wolves limp back to Minneapolis after coughing up a frustrating loss to Luka and the Lakers. But now it’s time to hit the reset button. Lights back on at Target Center. Finally. Wolves vs. Pacers. Sunday […]

This week’s SB Nation Mavericks React poll had two questions, and I posted them early enough in the week that they might be interesting to look back on by next Friday. First, I asked about the Mavericks’ record. Dallas has a six-game home stand to kick off the year, and as of this writing, they’ve […]

After what felt like a near-perfect game against the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, the San Antonio Spurs looked more like a young squad again in Friday’s 120-116 win over the New Orleans Pelicans. The game was defined by messy offense, blown leads, and silly mistakes. And yet, in overtime when it was time to step […]
Another disappointing loss. But, the Celtics have not played well or shot well in either game. Lots of room to improve and I believe they will. Knicks fans love a player one minute and hate him the next. Whether they are playing good or bad, I love all the Celtics and pull for them so I don't understand how much they can hate a player when they aren't playing well. I also don't understand how they can still push betting after what is happening. Even th...
