Of course, Utah is throwing every good luck charm they have into acquiring a top 3 selection in this year’s draft. AJ Dybantsa would be a match made in heaven. Darryn Peterson has the best fit. Cameron Boozer follows in Papa Carlos’ footsteps. Utah is also perfectly fine standing pat at 4, if it means […]

If the Miami Heat need to make an inevitable decision between Tyler Herro or Norman Powell this offseason, one of the former All-Star’s may have a stronger case. The experiment with pairing Herro and Norman Powell together this season has unfortunately not worked as well as expected. For starters, injuries have gotten in the way […] The post Heat should choose to build with homegrown guard over newly named All-Star this summer appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Tonight the Knicks (51*-28) host the Celtics (54-25) at Madison Square Garden. It’s an Eastern Conference showdown that could be a playoff-preview. Our heroes lead the season series 2-1. As of this writing, Boston’s injury report lists four starters, and there’s a chance that Joe Mazzulla will rest them, given that a win is not […]
The San Antonio Spurs were without Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle, and still controlled the game in the 112-101 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. They got contributions up and down the roster to fill in for two of their stars. The Spurs’ bench outscored Portland’s 48-10. Keldon Johnson and Carter Bryant were brilliant off […]
The Knicks may have clearer weaknesses than any other team that considers themselves a contender. Their best player is an undersized negative defender, the offense can be stagnant despite posting strong numbers, the outside shooting can abandon them at times, and the starting lineup often digs themselves into deep holes to start out games. But […]

The Seattle Seahawks pre-draft visits are ratcheting up, which makes sense because the NFL Draft is exactly two weeks from Thursday. Anyway, the Super Bowl champions will almost certainly be adding to their pass rushing group this offseason, and it would not be a surprise if they used their top pick on an edge rusher. […]
The Portland Trail Blazers don’t know who they’ll face in next week’s SoFi NBA Play-In Tournament yet, but we now know the start times of their potential matchups. Late on Wednesday night, the NBA released the schedule for the Play-In Tournament, even as the Blazers are still jockeying with the Los Angeles Clippers to determine […]
Tanking, or intentionally losing games, is one of the hot NBA strategies in the 2020’s. Teams sit suddenly-injured players, forget to sub in stars, or sign superstars from the Sesame Street rec league to 10-day contracts, all in search of the elusive late-season loss. The big prizes are high odds for lottery picks in the […]

Last week, I described the state of the Lakers as happiness. Now, all that remains is despair. That’s what happens when two star players go down in the same game and are out for the rest of the regular season and beyond. Earlier this year, during a bump in the road that is the NBA […]

Earlier this week, the Miami Heat — begrudgingly — punched their ticket to the play-in for the fourth-straight year. Though a 7-seed was still an attainable scenario. However, that’s no longer the case. As a result of the Magic’s 12-point win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, the Heat can no longer finish the regular […] The post What needs to happen for Heat to earn top-8 seed appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
I am always looking forward to see some wheeling and dealing during the draft. I could see it happening very easily and I can also see nothing happening. At this point, I think the team is going for it in 2026. There will be no tanking or wasting of a year in the careers of […]
