BOSTON — The Celtics will be without several key players when they face the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night.

Tatum is currently not playing back-to-backs as he returns from an Achilles […]
Knicks fans really are among the worst. I have no idea where they get that the Celtics are ugly. Personally I think that the Celtics are among the better looking teams in the league. It was pretty funny that they trashed Josh Hart throughout the game. Every other comment was some kind of hate toward Hart. Then after he hit those threes at the end, suddenly he is great. I love when teams covet our coach and players. My favorites are in bold....
The Mavericks were 1-3 this weekend and remained in 13th place in the West.

In the second game of a back-to-back, the Knicks (52*-28) host the Raptors (44-35) tonight at Madison Square Garden. New York ranks third in the Eastern Conference, while riding a four-game win streak and having beaten the Celtics in a thriller last night, 112-106.

The Miami Heat will look to avoid coming up empty handed on this final three-game road trip of the season in the second night of a back-to-back in Washington.

Jayson Tatum wasn’t exactly looking forward to stepping foot on the floor of Madison Square Garden Thursday night.

I’m not, like, thrilled […]

Last night, the Knicks scored 122.5 points per 100 possessions in half-court situations. And the worst defensive stretch happened six minutes before the final buzzer, when the Knicks decided to hunt […]
There was a buzz around the Sixers after they took down the Charlotte Hornets a couple weeks ago. Paul George was back from suspension and looked spry. Joel Embiid had another hot start and came up with a huge block late. Tyrese Maxey came back sooner than expected from his right pinky tendon strain. Nick […]
The season ended Sunday in Toronto with another loss to the Raptors. And after a series of unlikely events Friday night, the Nets will finish with no less than the league’s third worst record, giving them a 52.1% chance of a top four pick, 40% of a top three pick and 14.0% of the overall […]

Jason Kidd has been a dynamic part of the Dallas Mavericks and their history for the last three decades. From Co-Rookie of the Year in 1994 to point guard for the 2011 championship team to coaching the team during its 2024 run back to the NBA Finals, Kidd has been there and done that with […]
Like last week’s article, it’s time to go back and hold myself accountable for how well I did in predicting the rookie seasons for the 2025 draft class for our Seattle Seahawks. There will be links to the original articles along with an excerpt of the actual predictions. Time to get to the rest of […]
The show must go on. It’s a cliché this Philadelphia 76ers organization must know all too well at this point after the last few seasons, and it’s relevant yet again. With the news that Joel Embiid had appendicitis and an urgent, successful appendectomy yesterday in Houston, any modicum of hope that the Sixers might pull […]
