Kenny Atkinson praised the Brooklyn Nets for how much trouble they gave his team last year before tipoff this evening. With Cleveland eyeing a Larry O’Brien and the Nets eyeing ping pong balls, they gave Cleveland more than any game preview expected, especially in November, when Brooklyn nearly ended their perfect start to the season. […]
Anytime the New York Knicks (2-0) beat the Boston Celtics (0-2) is a holiday at our house. Tonight at MSG, our heroes creamed them in the second quarter by 28 points, and that was enough to offset a shaky second half. Final score, Knicks 105, Celtics 95. Despite the team shooting 38% tonight, all the […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers won their first game of the season, knocking down the Brooklyn Nets 131-124. It wasn’t pretty at the end, but a win is a win.

The Celtics fought really hard to get back into the game after losing the 2nd quarter by 28 points. However, they just were not able to overcome it as the Knicks beat them 105-95.

The Atlanta Hawks were in Orlando on Friday evening to face the Magic after a disappointing season opener against the Toronto Raptors.

Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Onyeka Okongwu […]
The Toronto Raptors’ home opener, which many were considering the “opening act” to the Blue Jays’ World Series opening game, put this fresh Raps squad head-to-head with the Greek Freak. Giannis Antetokounmpo, former NBA MVP and one of the league’s best big men, is a hard match-up for literally anyone. After Toronto was able to […]
The Milwaukee Bucks downed the Toronto Raptors, 122-116, to improve to 2-0 on the young season. Giannis was an absolute killer, with 31 points, 20 rebounds (!), and seven assists. Additionally, Cole Anthony and Gary Trent Jr. combined for 43 points. The Raptors were led by Brandon Ingram, who dropped 29 points. NBA.com Box […]
After a scandal-wracked Thursday the Portland Trail Blazers will take the floor tonight against the Golden State Warriors.

Mohamed Salah has seemed somewhat diminished this season, admitting difficulty both coping with the loss of Diogo Jota and the integration of new players — and it’s also worth saying that exits to other players who moved to other sides would have had an impact as well. Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Brentford, Arne […]

Hey pro-tankers: rejoice. The first game of the 2025-26 season would’ve been one of the ugliest – if not the ugliest – out of all the games last season. They simply didn’t look engaged as a collective unit, particularly on the defensive end. On the bright said, Egor Demin shot 4-of-6 from three. So, at […]
