The vast majority of Maryland men’s basketball fans would have thought Derik Queen would be the biggest Maryland rookie story in the NBA this season. Enter the last month of Julian Reese. Reese signed out of the G-League with the Washington Wizards on a two-way contract in late February. And he continues to take advantage. […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers took care of business as they dispatched the Memphis Grizzlies 142-126. This felt like a preseason game.

For a moment, everything stopped. Inside the Frost Bank Center, the buzz of a marquee matchup, Victor Wembanyama versus Joel Embiid, gave way to silence as Wembanyama walked slowly toward the locker room, his night cut short before halftime.

Gav says… I’m going to be really boring and clichéd here, but we have to take it one game at a time. If we beat Spurs on Sunday – and, regardless of what anyone thinks or says, that would still be a huge win given the amount of quality they actually have at their disposal, […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have won three straight games. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. NOTE: I retroactively took half a grade away from everyone tonight for the three-point defense. That’s what happens when your opponent matches the NBA record for threes made.

Man, it would have been nice to steal that one. The Sixers fell to the San Antonio Spurs 115-102 Monday night. They are now 43-36 and have again dropped a half game below the sixth seed in the East. Joel Embiid, clearly with some extra juice for this matchup, led the Sixers with 34 points […]
