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. Their first Cup match of the season was at home versus the Houston Rockets. After a struggling 22 minutes of Spurs basketball (marred by poor shooting and lazy turnovers), […]

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. This is already the Sixers’ third back-to-back of the 2025-26 campaign — they have 16 total across the season. After taking on the Raptors on Saturday, they […]
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. Ruben Amorim’s side was shuffled a bit for the occasion, moving Amad into the front three with Noussair Mazraoui at wing back and Bryan Mbeumo on the […]
Tyrese Proctor, Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel and Sion James were all in action Friday night and there were some very positive results.

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

The Rockets showed up to Friday night’s game with the San Antonio Spurs, but they barely played two quarters of actual basketball. Houston was crusing along in the second quarter up 11 points when the bottom fell out and the Rockets gave up a 12-0 an ugly run to end the second to go into […]
Growth, at times, can be as painful and agonizing as it is rewarding, and the Celtics experienced that firsthand in their NBA Cup duel with the Magic on Friday night. Over six months after eliminating the Magic in the first round of last season’s NBA Playoffs, Boston returned to Orlando — this time significantly more […]

Last night the Spurs played their first Emirates Cup game against the I-10 rival Houston Rockets. I was taken aback when I saw the game was on Amazon Prime, part of an 11-year contract. I was nervous that the games were only available live. I was pleased to be able to watch the game when […]
Another game, another 30+ points second half deficit for the Washington Wizards. This time, it was against the Cleveland Cavaliers, which is one of the NBA’s better teams. So, a blowout was to be expected. Consider those expectations met. The Wizards briefly led by three in the first quarter. They trailed by 17 at halftime. […]
