The Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama has been named Western Conference Defensive Player of the month for the third straight time, the league announced. Wembanyama averaged 9.7 defensive rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 3.7 blocks per game during March in just 29.9 minutes a night. The Spurs held opponents to an outrageous low 102.9 points per 100 possessions […]
“Doubtful” leaves so much room for vague tweets. The Sixers have released their injury report for when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday, and doubtful is Joel Embiid’s listing with an illness. After playing three games straight returning from an oblique strain, Embiid told reporters that an illness had impacted his play against the Miami […]
The Knicks are in a bit of a rough patch as time winds down on the regular season. They just lost a handful of extremely unsettling games against playoff teams that have many questioning their effort and desire, have fans up in arms about the coach and believing he’s on the hot seat, and there’s […]
The Big 12 has gone out of its way to try to account for weather in its scheduling. Most of the first half of the conference season has been played on the home fields of warm-weather programs like Arizona, Texas Tech, and Arizona State. Cold weather programs like Iowa State, Kansas, and Utah were set […]

Things couldn’t have gone better for the Lakers this week. Not only did they win, but they did so with pizzazz. LeBron James had multiple jaw-dropping dunks, Luka Dončić scored more baskets in the month than any Laker ever, and the Lakers find themselves already at the 50-win mark with six games left to play. […]
The Miami Heat’s most recent loss to the Boston Celtics felt like an all-too-common occurrence. Miami surrendered 147 points, their second time allowing 147 or more over the last week, on 58.3 percent shooting with 21 made Celtic threes. Once prided on its defensive fortitude, the Heat displayed an episodic collapse on that end of […] The post Erik Spoelstra is shrinking his rotation, and that’s not a good thing appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
For what it’s worth, these Spurs are determined to head into the playoffs winning as many games as they can, building on their success and trying to stay motivated along the way. Couch-surfing fans (like myself) might question the need for motivation playing a game we all love, but 82 games is a grind. On […]
The king of the Western Conference is here and his name is Luka Dončić. During the month of March, no one played better than the Wonder Boy and the NBA agreed, naming him the Player of the Month for the Western Conference on Thursday. This is the second time this season that Luka has won […]

Chicago heads away from home ice for the final time this season, kicking off a three-game road trip in Edmonton against the Oilers on Thursday night. The Oilers may just be clicking at the right time, entering this game as winners of four straight and with a 9-4-1 records in their last 14 games. Playoff seeding is still yet to be decided in the Pacific, with Anaheim and Vegas also fighting with the Oilers for divisional supremacy. All three teams have played 75 games, with Anaheim up top ...
It’s been a few extra days, so it’s time to check with our friends in the Lone Star state. It’s been a good week for the Houston Rockets, which means it’s been a bad one for the 2026 first-round pick they owe to the Sixers as a result of the Jared McCain trade. Houston rebounded […]
If I’ve learned one thing from this season — or even the last 2-3 years — is that time flies, even when you’re not having fun. It felt like yesterday when the somewhat new-look Miami Heat torched the Memphis Grizzlies in the second game of the season. Fast forward over five months later, the Heat […] The post 2025-26 Miami Heat Power Rankings Roundup: April appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Seattle Seahawks got the best case scenario out of Sam Darnold in 2025, which was very good performance on a mid-level quarterback contract, culminating in a Super Bowl victory which would not have been possible had he been anything below spectacular for the NFC Championship Game. If nothing else, Darnold is the unquestioned starter […]

Finally, some hardware for the campaign he’s put up. The NBA announced their rookies of the month for March and VJ Edgecombe was selected for the Eastern Conference. Not only is it his first time winning this award, but it’s the first Rookie of the Month in the East this season to not go to […]
With Jaylen Brown playing at a first-team All-NBA level, and Jayson Tatum looking more and more comfortable by the day, the Jays are back to torching the league like nothing has changed. But something has changed. It may not be as noticeable to fans of other teams, but to those of us who watch the […]
The (undefeated in the Tom Dundon Era™) Portland Trail Blazers host the twelfth-place New Orleans Pelicans in their propreantepenultimate game of the season tonight. This contest, like all remaining games, is a must-win for the Blazers, who find themselves vying for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. The Pelicans Report Much has been made […]
The Boston Celtics delivered an offensive masterclass in Miami to cool down the playoff hopeful Heat. Their 147-point performance marked the second-highest scoring output of the season, while their explosive 53-point first quarter stands as the most the team has recorded in any quarter since 1970. Boston surged into rhythm early, with Jaylen Brown accounting for the team’s first […]
After nine seasons on Merseyside, Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool as one of the top three forwards in the history of the Premier League alongside Thierry Henry and Alan Shearer. And he will leave as one of the top three players in the club’s 134-year history alongside Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard. As disappointing as […]
The Edmonton Oilers lineup will have a bit of a different look on Thursday as the Chicago Blackhawks roll into town. While Tristan Jarry will start between the pipes, the Oilers might be without forward Zach Hyman, who head coach Kris Knoblauch ruled a game-time decision. Hyman wasn’t on the ice for Wednesday’s practice with…
Washington Wizards forward Kyshawn George will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season with a partially torn UCL in his left elbow, the Wizards announced Thursday. George, 22, injured his elbow on March 2 against the Houston Rockets and hadn’t played since. He is expected to make a full recovery before the 2026-27 season. The […]
It's always good to beat the Heat. Heat fans have certainly come down a peg from how puffed up they were during the Heatles era. It's so funny how they went from the Celtics have no answer for Bam to wanting him gone and calling him pathetic. It really surprises me how much they don't like Spoelstra. He's a top 15 all time coach. Describing Scheierman as the guy with the mullet and the stache cracked me up for some reason. My favorites are in bol...
