John Wall to represent Wizards at draft lottery
It’s all coming full circle for the Washington Wizards. John Wall, the franchise’s No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, will represent the Wizards at Sunday’s NBA Draft Lottery. The 35-year-old retired in August after a decorated career that included nine seasons as Washington’s star point guard. Wall departed the Wizards as the […]
Look up, you might miss the basketball
They predicted a firm Los Angeles Lakers loss to the Houston Rockets in the First Round of this year’s NBA playoffs. Without two of their three best players (Austin Reaves, out with an oblique injury and Luka Doncic, out with a hamstring strain), they had no chance against the talented young Rockets, most media members […]
In the end, one of the Celtics biggest strengths became a challenge
BOSTON — For 82 games, the Celtics’ depth — particularly at the wing position — was one of its biggest strengths. “We just have 15, 16 guys that can impact winning,” Joe Mazzulla said before the playoffs. “At any point in time, people can help us win.” When Mazzulla made that comment, it resonated. We’d […]
‘Most overrated?’ After playoff exit, Rockets’ young core is in question
On Wednesday, The Athletic released its annual anonymous poll of NBA players, who are asked to vote on various league superlatives. Adding salt to the wound of the Rockets’ underwhelming 2025-26 season — which ended in a second consecutive first-round exit from the playoffs — Alperen Sengun topped the “most overrated” list with 12.3% of […] The post ‘Most overrated?’ After playoff exit, Rockets’ young core is in question appeared first on ClutchFans .

Consistency, collapses and cultural chasms: The unspoken problem with the Orlando Magic
“You build habits and create an environment, where losing in the first round is not acceptable, not good enough. That should be the attitude.” -Magic forward Paolo Banchero after a Game Seven loss to Detroit John Starks’ puffy cheeks are Continue reading Consistency, collapses and cultural chasms: The unspoken problem with the Orlando Magic →
Box Grades: Spurs dominate in nearly every aspect of the game to even series with Wolves
All wins count the same, and Minnesota still has reason to feel good. (After all, they now go back to Minneapolis knowing that holding serve at home will win them the series.) However, on a deeper level, I think that the nature of this victory could significantly alter the mindset of both teams. In the […]
What the Bucks can learn from this year’s playoffs: Western Conference First Round
It was a helluva run. Five first-round exits, two semi-finals defeats, a conference finals heartbreak, and right in the middle of it all, ultimate glory. Nine years of playoff basketball. 47 wins and 42 losses—more than a season’s worth of postseason action. Now, for the first time since the 2015-16 season, the Milwaukee Bucks are […]
‘I’m not 100% yet’ – Raphinha makes worrying admission ahead of Barcelona’s Clasico clash with Real Madrid
Raphinha has been passed fit by Barcelona after several weeks out with a hamstring injury picked up on international duty with Brazil in the United States. The Brazilian didn’t make it off the bench against Osasuna last time out but is expected to feature on Sunday when Barca face Real Madrid in El Clasico. Speaking […]
Highlights: Spurs avenge Game 1 heartbreaker with complete domination of T-Wolves in Game 2
Coming off a heartbreaking Game 1 defeat, the Spurs eyed revenge against the Minnesota Timberwolves for Game 2 of their Western Conference Semifinals series. Carter Bryant returned from his ankle injury, so the Spurs were back at full strength. After a tough shooting first quarter for both teams, the Spurs managed to take a seven-point […]

Stop thinking the Sixers won't storm back against the Knicks
The Philadelphia 76ers are down 0-2, but history suggests the series is far from over for the Sixers.
John Poulakidas begs a question
There was no John Poulakidas player preview here at MavsMoneyball. That is understandable given the undrafted rookie’s whereabouts at the time. Back in October, he was preparing to play 27 minutes per night for the Clippers’ G-League affiliate, having been waived by Los Angeles in camp two weeks earlier. He didn’t become a Maverick until […]
With steeper fines for hard fouls and new officiating points of emphasis, the WNBA is trying to create a less physical league
For casual basketball fans, watching the WNBA can be a stark surprise, as the league has traditionally permitted a lot of physicality. The NBA, in contrast, allows far less physicality than the W. But, it seems like the WNBA is adapting and that the league will be much less physical going forward. One way this […]

The Cavs aren’t going anywhere if Donovan Mitchell can’t get to the basket
Donovan Mitchell wasn’t happy with his lack of trips to the line after having just two free-throw attempts in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ Game 1 loss to the Detroit Pistons. “I’m just not getting the calls,” Mitchell said afterward. “I don’t know why. I don’t flop, maybe that’s why. … It’s frustrating a little bit because […]
Open Thread: What a difference one game can make
Game 1 went down to the wire, the Spurs lost on a missed Champagnie buzzer beater. Afterwards, there was no heads hung, no self deprication, just an urgency to watch film and make the necessary adjustments before heading into Game 2. Matthew Tynan of Corporate Knowledge reported that Spurs legend Gregg Popovich sat in on […]
Three Years In, Bilal Coulibaly Could Still Become Almost Anything
Anyone claiming to know what Bilal Coulibaly will be is either lying or delusional. Through three NBA seasons, one number stands out: 68. That’s how many games he’s missed — 27.6% of Wizards games since they traded up to draft him seventh overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. A few other numbers jump off the […]
Three big men that can help the Celtics
After exceeding expectations during the regular season, the Boston Celtics ultimately fell short, underperforming in a seven-game series loss to the seventh-seeded Philadelphia 76ers. The disappointing end to the season brings renewed scrutiny to the roster, but it also shifts attention to the organization’s financial positioning. Last offseason’s tax-saving moves now provide the Celtics with added flexibility as they […]
Twitter Gold: Austin Rivers And Draymond Green Are Beefing
Every so often, pro sports seems like something straight out of junior high. Last week, there was the beef between former Duke star Wendell Carter and Detroit Pistons Jalen Duren. Carter is dating Angel Reese, who used to go out with Duren. This week, we have the entertaining Austin Rivers-Draymond Green beef. Those guys were […]
A ride on the Celtics-76ers rollercoaster
Well, we’re now several days removed from the end of the Boston Celtics season, and I think I’m finally ready to talk about it. First thoughts: It definitely still stings. I wish I was still watching my guys play basketball. If we are solely looking at the result of Boston’s series against the Philadelphia 76ers, […]
Examining the Miami Heat’s history in draft lottery
Ever since the end of the Miami Heat’s underwhelming 2025-26 season, which resulted in an early exit in yet another play-in game, the biggest point of interest for many — myself included — revolved around one thing: The NBA’s draft lottery. At one point, there was a chance it could’ve moved up to No. 12. […] The post Examining the Miami Heat’s history in draft lottery appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Rockets 2027 NBA Draft could change everything
The Rockets’ post-mortem press conference provided some clarity about the team’s direction. The operative word there is “some”. From what we can gather, Rafael Stone thinks Reed Sheppard is Steve Nash, and Ime Udoka thinks he’s Steve Kerr. We could settle on Mark Price or Mahmoud Abdul-Raof It seems like the intention is to “run […]
