In the second game of a back-to-back, the Knicks (52*-28) host the Raptors (44-35) tonight at Madison Square Garden. New York ranks third in the Eastern Conference, while riding a four-game win streak and having beaten the Celtics in a thriller last night, 112-106.

Jayson Tatum wasn’t exactly looking forward to stepping foot on the floor of Madison Square Garden Thursday night.

I’m not, like, thrilled […]

#1 – Boston defensive collapse The Celtics entered the game with the 7th-best half-court defense in the NBA, allowing 95.9 points per 100 possessions. Last night, the Knicks scored 122.5 points per 100 possessions in half-court situations. And the worst defensive stretch happened six minutes before the final buzzer, when the Knicks decided to hunt […]
There was a buzz around the Sixers after they took down the Charlotte Hornets a couple weeks ago. Paul George was back from suspension and looked spry. Joel Embiid had another hot start and came up with a huge block late. Tyrese Maxey came back sooner than expected from his right pinky tendon strain. Nick […]
The season ended Sunday in Toronto with another loss to the Raptors. And after a series of unlikely events Friday night, the Nets will finish with no less than the league’s third worst record, giving them a 52.1% chance of a top four pick, 40% of a top three pick and 14.0% of the overall […]

Two more to go. The Brooklyn Nets wrapped up the home schedule on Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers. They lost by a bunch but helped their draft cause. That’s a win.

Jason Kidd has been a dynamic part of the Dallas Mavericks and their history for the last three decades. From Co-Rookie of the Year in 1994 to point guard for the 2011 championship team to coaching the team during its 2024 run back to the NBA Finals, Kidd has been there and done that with […]
Like last week’s article, it’s time to go back and hold myself accountable for how well I did in predicting the rookie seasons for the 2025 draft class for our Seattle Seahawks. There will be links to the original articles along with an excerpt of the actual predictions. Time to get to the rest of […]
The show must go on. It’s a cliché this Philadelphia 76ers organization must know all too well at this point after the last few seasons, and it’s relevant yet again. With the news that Joel Embiid had appendicitis and an urgent, successful appendectomy yesterday in Houston, any modicum of hope that the Sixers might pull […]

The EuroLeague has existed since 1958 as the most prestigious basketball league in Europe. That hegemony is being threatened by the NBA’s expansion league-in-the-works: NBA Europe. The EuroLeague as we know it — with a regular season phase — is not even a decade old yet. Yet the competition, which has constantly been plagued by […] The post Euroleague set to get a massive reality check that will change it forever appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
It’s only been a few days since Michael Malone was announced as UNC’s newest head coach, but the NBA title winner is well into the process of assembling his staff. Chuck Martin, who spent the last two seasons on John Calipari’s staff at Arkansas, will reportedly be associate head coach for the Tar Heels. Martin […]
This is a quick one, since it’s basically, “What do you think of X if applied to MLB?” It doesn’t wholly apply in any way, but I still thought it was interesting. A few days ago, Nate Silver put forth a never-gonna-happen-but-still-fun-to-read “fix” for the NBA’s tanking problem, involving a new meta-currency and changing NBA’s […]
The WNBA’s time in Connecticut is sunsetting. The Connecticut Sun, an institution of WNBA excellence, both on the court and in the stands, since 2003 are becoming the Houston Comets in 2027 after the sale of the team.

Remember when we thought this game was going to matter for the tiebreaker? In sports, a few weeks can be a long time. Since these teams met and the Houston Rockets blew a double digit lead in overtime, Houston is 8-0 and looks (at times) to be a much different (read: better) team. The Minnesota […]

There’s something almost poetic about how our last two SB Nation Reacts polls have aged. Not just “a little outdated.” Not just “slightly off.” Completely obliterated by reality within 72 hours. Last week, we asked whether Wolves fans would prefer the Lakers/Spurs path or the Nuggets/Thunder gauntlet. It was a fun, forward-looking exercise, the kind […]
With the season over, attention begins to turn to the NBA Draft and how the order will work out. This is frequently of interest to Duke fans since Blue Devils typically go high, and this year looks like no exception as Cameron Boozer will be off the board early. But how early? That depends on […]
