During each of his postgame press conferences, Mike Brown lists out a number of stats that he calls “the possession game”, which he describes as “free throw attempts + offensive rebounds – turnovers.” In the team’s bounce-back win over the Chicago Bulls on Sunday, they won that battle 25-9. Through eight games, using the criteria […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have cultivated a defensive identity. The hard-nosed negating foundation has given the playing group something to build off while it figures out what it is on the other side of the ball. Unfortunately, that established defensive persona, which currently ranks 10th most stingy, was dealt blows in consecutive games last week. […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are in Miami to take on the Heat to start a five-game road trip. Portland is coming off of a win over the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in their last game. On the other side, the Heat are on the second night of a back-to-back after taking down the Charlotte […]
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 […]

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Hawks came out firing on Friday night, showing energy and precision through three quarters, but a late surge from the Toronto Raptors handed them a 109–97 loss at State Farm Arena. Atlanta controlled the pace early, feeding off the home crowd’s energy. Jalen Johnson led the charge with 21 points, attacking […]
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 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.
