ORLANDO — From the beginning of the season, Jaylen Brown maintained that figuring out the process of winning would be a challenge. “It takes time,” Brown said after the Celtics’ loss to the Detroit Pistons, which knocked them down to an 0-3 start. “It does.” And, through 10 games, Boston has struggled more than at […]

It’s been years since I’ve been to an actual theater — many years. Maybe that’s because some of my visits didn’t exactly turn out to be great successes. I remember one in particular, back in 2008. I was working in London at the time as an intern for a major company. My duties included corporate […]
Holy cow the Dallas Mavericks are 2-7! Their worst start to a season since the 2018-19 season! Earlier this week we ran a two question poll which asked two direct questions. The first was centered around All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and whether Dallas fans thought he’d be back soon. This one was overwhelming in that […]
The top spot in the Eastern Conference no longer belongs to the Chicago Bulls. Picking up their second loss of the season last night in Milwaukee, the 6-2 squad has slipped behind the Detroit Pistons, who have only lost once since the Bulls’ opening night victory. They will have a chance to reclaim the top spot later today, but it won’t be easy! Less than 24 hours after facing Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bulls will have to see a Cavaliers team that just dropped 148 points on the Washington...
Obed scores two to force Game 3.
With Anthony Edwards nursing that hamstring like it’s a Fabergé egg, Chris Finch has been forced to rummage through the bench like a dad searching for spare batteries. Enter the kids, Jaylen Clark, Rob Dillingham, and Terrence Shannon Jr. The Timberwolves’ youngsters are three wildly different prospects who’ve all been given just enough rope to […]

It’s another day of suffering for those hooked to Knicks basketball. No game today, which means you should go outside and get some fresh air. Here’s the latest from Coach Brown and a couple other Knickerbockers. Mike Brown On Mitchell Robinson’s uniqueness on the glass: “I don’t know if there’s anyone that has the combination […]
I get the feeling that these Celtics are like Forest Gump's box of chocolates. You never know what you are going to get. They look good at times and you can see the potential but then they fall apart and forget how to shoot, defend and rebound. Hopefully they will find themselves and get back on track soon. Magic fans seem to hate their own team as much as they do their opponent. Poor Jaylen may never live down his hairline gaff. My favorites are...
#1 – A rivalry brewing? Last night we watched a spirited Boston performance, deserving of plaudits, particularly for those second and third quarters. Ultimately, though, away from home, Orlando handed Boston our first cup loss. Last year I went on CelticsBlog’s very own Adam Taylor’s podcast, and we spoke about Eastern Conference contenders that could […]
Coming off a tough loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, the Spurs looked to regroup heading into the start of NBA Cup group play.

The respondents were clear. Nearly half, or 47 percent gave him an A followed by 46 percent giving him a B. […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are back in action on Saturday evening hosting the Toronto Raptors after two much-needed days off. And, of course, it’s the start of a back-to-back.

The Milwaukee Bucks began NBA Cup group play on the right foot with a 126-110 win over the red-hot Chicago Bulls. The Bucks split the season series with Chicago a year ago, with the Bulls taking the last game 116-111 back on December 28, 2024. The last time Milwaukee beat Chicago was on December 23 […]
The Long Island Nets kicked off the 2025-26 G League season on Friday night, facing off against the Capital City Go-Go, the Washington Wizards affiliate, at the Nassau Coliseum. The game would be about as competitive as it gets, with each team getting the better of one another throughout. However, in the end, Long Island […]
Manchester United blew a slim lead at Tottenham Hotspur in Premier League action on Saturday, failing to capitalize on a slow-paced game and capitulating in the final minutes.

In Dallas’s 118-104 loss to Memphis, Cooper Flagg had 12 points, six rebounds, two […]
