The Portland Trail Blazers are justifiably proud of their two young centers, Donovan Clingan and Yang Hansen. The Blazers spent prime, consecutive draft picks on the pair of pivots. They expect great things from each. Despite that, a Blazer’s Edge Reader has noticed a trend in the way the Blazers use their big men. Let’s […]
Just three games into the NBA season, the Lakers have been decimated by injuries. Against Portland, Los Angeles had seven players out, including their two biggest stars, LeBron James and Luka Dončić. This forced the team to play all three of their two-way players and the end-of-the-bench guys. The result was predictable, as the Lakers […]
Shaedon Sharpe became the youngest Portland Trail Blazers player to make 1,000 field goals against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night.

these wins count even when they "don't count"
Moral victories are much better when an actual victory comes along with it. A day after blowing a 26-point lead to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday afternoon, it looked like the San Antonio Spurs may be heading for another blown 20+ point lead against the Toronto Raptors. The Silver and Black were able to pull […]
Fans and the media believed veteran point guard Fred VanVleet would miss the entire season after he tore his ACL during a Rockets scrimmage in the Bahamas. The recovery period for athletes who have surgery for an ACL tear is approximately nine months. This implies that Fred wouldn’t be prepared for a comeback until after […]

For several years now, the Miami Heat have always been one of the slowest offensive teams in the league. Outside of just the pace, even their offensive efficiency has been near the bottom of the NBA for a while now. That doesn’t seem to be the case thus far this season. Coach Erik Spoelstra has […] The post Erik Spoelstra’s emphasis on the faster pace offense is already paying dividends for the Heat appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
*looks around cautiously* *motions you to come closer* *looks around once more* *leans in toward your ear* Are the Chicago Bulls … good at basketball? Box Score & Player Grades: Bulls 128, Hawks 123 – October 27, 2025 Let’s be sure to keep things in perspective. Today marks ONE full week into the 2025-26 season. The Chicago Bulls have played only three of 82 games. In other words, it’s more than possible for them to start the year 3-0 and still fin...
The first three games of what was the most highly anticipated Knicks season of the last 25 years have gotten off to an overall successful, but very imperfect start. Mitchell Robinson has yet to appear in a game, Josh Hart, despite still being a terrific rebounder, has sported a jump shot that has somehow looked […]

It is a very, very early sample size, but the Miami Heat look like a much improved team this season. They are coming off a huge statement win against arguably the best team in the Eastern Conference in the New York Knicks. Now the game plan turns back to the road, as the Heat will […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat eye three-game win streak at home against the Charlotte Hornets appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Good win on a back to back. Good energy from the Celtics. I really like Josh Minott. They are never going to let Jaylen Brown live down that hairline gaff. How horrible for a fan to wish a torn ACL on any player, let alone one on their own team. I loved the last comment. Too funny. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? We haven’t played since Friday. Did Zion get injured at practice or something? Why is it always us Zion off...

After another 40-plus point performance by Tyrese Maxey that featured some more fourth quarter heroics, Kelly Oubre Jr. was asked if this is the best he’s seen his point guard play so far. Oubre said no, and gave a typical athlete reason. He sees how much work Maxey puts in and believes there is still […]
After the final whistle on Sunday, Vinicius Jr. and Lamine Yamal engaged in a heated verbal exchange that attracted significant attention. Yamal had stirred the pot before the match by saying “El Madrid roba, se queja” (“Madrid steals, complains”), which antagonised the opposition and set the stage for confrontation. On the pitch, cameras caught Vinicius […]

#1 – The Celtics finally won the rebound battle It’s not sexy, but that’s how you win games when you’re lacking talent. Joe Mazzulla’s men went after the offensive boards way more than usual this season:▷ Against the 76ers: 26.5% Offensive Rebound Rate▷ At New York: 20.4% Offensive Rebound Rate▷ At Detroit: 30.9% Offensive Rebound […]
