The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers Monday night, 135-118.

The Blazers punished every half-hearted rebound, lazy pass, and slow retreat […]

Less than two minutes into the first quarter of the Minnesota Timberwolves second leg of their home back-to-back against the Atlanta Hawks, Donte DiVincenzo sank his first field goal – a wing three off of an assist from Jaden McDaniels.

The Lakers are finally going to start acting like the financial powerhouse they are. New owner Mark Walter is already one of the wealthiest owners in the NBA, a far cry from the Buss family. That wealth can be spent in only a few ways in the NBA, unlike the Dodgers, which Walter also owns. […]
The Utah Jazz, despite their best efforts, beat the Miami Heat with a final score of 115-111. Utah’s tanking tactic of pulling Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jusuf Nurkic after the third quarter in favor of the youth could not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Through the first three quarters, the Jazz […]
No Dyson or Jalen. CJ McCollum scored some points. The Hawks once again played no defense. Please (nicely) discuss among yourselves.
Brooklyn’s penultimate game before the All-Star break sure felt like the kind of thing you’d sneak in at work before going on vacation. With the Chicago Bulls in town, a group that’s been mediocre so long it might as well be a sponsor for the Play-In tournament, and the lottery-bound Nets playing host, the contest […]

The Spurs didn’t do anything at the deadline. Was that the right choice? Marilyn Dubinski: I think so, especially if there wasn’t a good offer to be had. From a personal standpoint, I love everyone on this roster and wasn’t anxious for anyone to be moved. If anything, I was sad but understood why Jeremy […]

The Edmonton Oilers have themselves a struggling player who needs a change of scenery, in Andrew Mangiapane. The Los Angeles Kings also have a floundering forward, making around the same money ($3.5M to $3.6M) in ex-Oiler Warren Foegele. Who says no to a one-for-one swap of the 29-year-olds? Foegele for Mangiapane. Dollars are almost equal and both have year left. — Jim Matheson (@jimmathesonnhl) February 9, 2026 Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal thinks it makes sense. As does M...

Like most of you, I witnessed what seemed in the moment to be an absolute heist of a loss for the Wisconsin Badgers in Bloomington in their 78-77 loss to the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday afternoon. And I freaked out accordingly. At the end of both regulation and overtime, there were calls from a Michael Reed, Michael Irving, […]
