Editor’s note: This is the first post from new Peachtree Hoops contributor Jackson Stone. We’re excited to have him on the staff and help with our coverage of the Atlanta Hawks. The Atlanta Hawks completed a season sweep of the Orlando Magic on Wednesday evening with a dominant 130-101 victory over their Southeast divisional rivals […]
Projecting the Seattle Seahawks draft class is less about predicting exact picks and more about understanding how the board is likely to fall. This exercise follows that approach — not as a mock draft, but as a value-based framework built around where prospects are generally expected to come off the board. With just four selections, […]
Newcastle United are among the clubs tracking AFC Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi ahead of the summer transfer window, with the Argentine set to become a free agent on July 1. The 28-year-old’s contract situation is making him one of the most high-profile defenders available for fee this summer. That’s why the likes of Aston Villa […]
You couldn’t have drawn up Wednesday night’s results any better as a Philadelphia 76ers fan. The Sixers overcame Joel Embiid’s illness-related absence and a poor defensive effort in the first half to defeat Washington, 153-131. Good and fun to watch, but certainly not unexpected against a Wizards team at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. […]
With their win over the Chicago Blackhawks, the True North franchise pulled within a point of the Western Conference’s final wildcard spot while moving up the standings to sit with the National Hockey League’s 23rd best record. Yet, the races are so tight at this point of time, that situation changed with last night’s slate of games. In a contest that the Winnipeg Jets would have been very interested in since the clubs involved are just ahead and behind them in the wildcard race, the Los ...
The San Antonio Spurs secured their tenth-straight victory on Wednesday night against the Golden State Warriors. It was their sixth-straight game winning by double-digits. The Spurs haven’t had a single-digit margin of victory in about two weeks. This team is rolling, and it is all led by one man: Victor Wembanyama. San Antonio’s third-year big […]
1. Incredible Scoring Night Coming off a rough loss against the Atlanta Hawks, the Celtics were almost completely healthy in their matchup against the Miami Heat and they played arguably their best offensive game of the season. Boston scored 147 points on the Heat in this game, the second most points they’ve scored in a […]
Before Wednesday night, Boston Celtics sharpshooter Sam Hauser was mired in a 3-point slump that spanned two months. He shot 33 percent last month and 37.5 percent in February — well below his career 41 percent. Then, in the first quarter against the Miami Heat, he caught fire. Hauser shot a perfect 6-for-6 to begin, […]
The Wizards accomplished a few things in their 153-131 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, the most important of which was moving back to the top of the NBA’s Draft Lottery standings. Their loss, paired with the Indiana Pacers getting a second straight win, puts Washington back into “league worst” status. Some of their “accomplishments” last […]
The Mavericks were 1-3 this past week and did not move from 13th place in the West. They split their short road trip to the Pacific Northwest with a loss in Denver (142-135) and a win in Portland (100-93). They then got blown out twice with losses at home to Minnesota (124-94) and in Milwaukee […]
The magic number the Edmonton Oilers are focused on isn’t the one used in nuclear physics. It’s the number of points the Oilers need to clinch their playoff spot. That number for the team is 10. Sure, it’s a formality at this point for a team with 98.9 per cent odds of making the post-season,…
Robert Lewandowski’s future keeps on making headlines as the Barcelona striker heads to the end of his contract at the Camp Nou. There’s been talk that Barcelona will offer a one-year extension to the veteran, although he will have to accept a significant pay cut to stay on for another 12 months. Lewandowski is also […]
Severely undermanned, the Milwaukee Bucks gave fans something to smile about in a rough season, losing to the (basically) full-strength Houston Rockets 119-113. They started with the required minimum of eight players, then went down to seven when Gary Trent Jr. got injured (but really, it was six, with Alex Antetokounmpo getting just four minutes). […]
Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland weren’t even on the radar to begin the season. One was fighting for his NBA life, entertaining overseas offers before re-signing with the Timberwolves to a standard contract later in the 2025 offseason. Ayo Dosunmu wasn’t even on the roster, playing for another Midwest team with aspirations so low that […]
LEGO unveils its FIFA World Cup 2026 collection featuring Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and Vini Jr as collectible minifigures.
If I wanted to make this post as short as possible, I would simply direct you to my last article covering the Spurs’ win over Chicago, as superficially these two games have some striking similarities. This includes very similar final point totals (129-114 vs. the Bulls, 127-113 vs. Golden State) and almost mirrored box score […]
The Houston Rockets won the fourth game in a row, as Reed Sheppard went for a career-high 9 threes and scored 27 points, as the Rockets held off a second half Milwaukee comeback to snag a 119-113 win. Sheppard aslo had 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals for the Rockets and was back in […]

News recently broke that the NBA is looking to make changes to the Draft Lottery to mitigate tanking. In Part I of this series, we touched on the notion that tanking is likely never going to be eliminated outright, especially if the league expands its total number of teams. Across the next three parts, we’ll […]
Colts defense adds mediocrity, PFF says! Bears stadium decision in 2 months! Pacers win over listless Bulls!
On Monday night, the Spurs hosted the Chicago Bulls. Prior to the game, Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson shared some great memories and kind words regarding former Spurs guard Tre Jones. “He was at the forefront of doing that in terms of bringing the right approach and energy every single day. … He’s a competitive […]
After a nice bounce back win against the Philadelphia 76ers earlier in the week, the Miami Heat failed to keep it going with the Boston Celtics in town on Wednesday. Boston stormed into Kaseya Center and picked apart the Heat defense on route to a 147-129 loss for Miami. The loss is the Heat’s third […] The post Celtics’ offense too much for Heat to handle in 147-129 blowout loss appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Mark Pope is entering the most important offseason of his coaching career. It can not be understated or overstated; he must get every move inch perfect.
