While it was quite the bumpy ride, the Washington Wizards clinched a playoff berth in the 2020-21 season despite starting the year at 17-32. It required big moves at the trade deadline, a 17-6 run to close out the regular season and a Play-In Tournament win but the Wizards managed to make the playoffs and
The Los Angeles Clippers preferred not to face their crosstown rivals to open up the 2020-21 playoffs. Now they may not even get the opportunity to play against the Los Angeles Lakers at all. The thought of facing a rested LeBron James and Anthony Davis did not sit well with the franchise, and they ultimately

Derrick Rose wasn’t having any of Clint Capela’s attempt to start drama with the New York Knicks. D-Rose is too old for this (expletive). The 32-year-old has been there and done that, so some harsh words from Capela towards the Knicks locker room won’t phase him. If anything, perhaps it’ll energize the right New York
Entering the season, there were high hopes for the Indiana Pacers following an impressive bubble showing and eruption from T.J. Warren.

This week on The Long Two: Early returns on Devin Booker, Trae Young, and Ja Morant in the playoffs. Plus, how Luka Dončić is picking the Clippers apart.

The Atlanta Hawks getting blown out by the Philadelphia 76ers clearly didn’t sit well with Kris Dunn, who got a silly technical over a high five. There are a lot of reasons to get mad on a basketball court. A high five isn’t one of them. Kris Dunn of the Atlanta Hawks didn’t get that
Three teams in the Eastern Conference are expected to compete for a spot in the NBA Finals. The Brooklyn Nets, Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks are clearly head-and-shoulders above the next tier of teams in the East. Still, those organizations are not going to just lay down and concede defeat. Last year the Miami HEAT
It’s official: we’re entering the regular season’s endgame. Every game from here on out will have much bigger consequences, a statement even truer in 2021 than perhaps any other season thanks to the NBA’s new play-in tournament.

Markieff Morris had a pretty lame excuse for the Lakers’ loss to the Hawks on Saturday and it wasn’t even LeBron’s injury. LeBron James left the Los Angeles Lakers’ Saturday matchup with the Atlanta Hawks in the second quarter because of what we now know to be a high ankle sprain. James hit a three
Despite the Atlanta Hawks being the hottest team in basketball, power forward John Collins is drawing considerable trade interest from at least five different teams. Could he be dealt by Thursday?
