We had Philadelphia’s version of Halley’s Comet on Sunday night, as we saw the quartet of Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid, Paul George, and VJ Edgecombe all suit up for the first time as Sixers. The double overtime defeat to the Hawks was certainly exciting, if not the result Sixers fans were hoping to see. I […]

Mark Aboyoun The Celtics are a good team — not great, not bad, just solid. Their performances so far have reflected that. When everyone is locked in, they can compete with anyone in the league. But when they’re not, they tend to drop games they should be winning. 20 games in, 11 wins, it’s fair […]

Dillon Brooks is good at two things: talking and basketball, in that order. He’s consistently a talker — unless his team is imploding in the playoffs and he starts ducking the media — and inconsistently a good basketball player. On Monday, he had one of those often sporadic good games, hitting 10 straight field goals […]
Barcelona sporting director Deco has been talking transfers and isn’t ruling out selling players from Hansi Flick’s squad.

For some time now, the Lakers have been flirting with an unserious loss. The second half of Sunday’s game against the Pelicans served as the perfect example of how the team was coasting by on its talent and not its effort. So, when the Suns — a team whose identity is playing hard — came […]
This was without question the worst loss of the season. I had some fear that the Rockets, having beaten the Jazz soundly Sunday afternoon might go into the second game of the away/also-away-but-in-the-same-town, back-to-back with Utah a bit complacent, and might be at risk of dropping a game they really should win. To say that’s […]

After a tight first quarter, the Suns blew the game open in the second period, then road the hot shooting of DIllon Brooks (33 points) and Collin Gillespie […]
If there’s one thing that’s been consistent about the 2025-2026 Utah Jazz, it’s their inconsistent stretches of competent play. One could say that the Jazz are consistently inconsistent. After an embarrassing loss on Sunday to a dominant Houston Rockets team, the Utah Jazz returned home and edged out the Durant-led team and showed some striking […]
