Three games into the NBA season and there has already been an abundance of fun and exciting storylines. Trae Young and Karl Anthony-Towns have played like MVP candidates, while the Golden State Warriors have looked like one of the worst teams in the league and Dwight Howard has contributed to winning basketball. While exciting, these

Danny Ainge is a gambler, only not in the typical sense. Yes, Ainge does, on occasion, deal with money. It’s just part of the job. But, more so than cash, Ainge is often one to gamble on players, whether they are his own or on some other roster. For better or worse, the Boston Celtics
Well, that didn’t take long. Then again, did it have to? Coming into the season, the Los Angeles Clippers were projected to be the favorite to win the NBA title, but barely. Unlike the Golden State Warriors over the last three years, they were nowhere near as unanimous as a title favorite. Plus, with Paul

The NBA is a star-driven league and, as always, it’s almost impossible to win without one. But as important as they are, you still need role players to fill the gaps in-between. To wit, you need an X-Factor, a player that can elevate his game either as a complement or when the stars are struggling.

The first Coach’s Challenges in NBA history were issued in the 2019-20 season opener between the Raptors and Pelicans. Unfortunately, both were lost. The 2019-20 NBA season marked the first time in league history that head coaches would be able to challenge an official’s decision in the middle of a game. Much like football, the

Anything can happen in the NBA. Every season, there are so many things that seem to come out of the blue, whether it be a team that was or wasn’t expected to be competitive or big trade that no one saw coming. There is just too much randomness involved in the day-to-day to be certain

As it stands right now, the Eastern Conference is wide open. It definitely has its favorites, like the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers. But even they have their question marks. There are teams who could be at that level, or possibly higher should things break their way, like the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers. But,

Yesterday Bradley Beal inked a two-year 72 million dollar extension with the Washington Wizards. The extension, which kicks in beginning in the 2021-2022 season, includes a player option for the second year and could potentially keep him from reaching free agency until the summer of 2023. Following a summer defined by player movement, Beal’s signing

The NBA season is right around the corner, which means this is when you can get the best value on NBA MVP bets. It’s also when there’s the most risk, of course; we know the least. The two leaders
Once upon a time, during a routine, regular season game, a well-regarded shooter was left alone for a corner three. Iman Shumpert, then with Cleveland, rushed to a hard closeout. Seeing Shumpert off balance, the shooter blew by him. After the play, LeBron James criticized Shumpert for his overaggression. Shump, understandably, was confused – he’s
Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends. We’re so glad you could attend … come inside, come inside. The NBA is back this month, and that means NBA futures are back. As we did last year, I’ve written the case for the over and under for every team’s win total and ranked

Carsen Edwards gets annoyed when people spell his name wrong. Maybe after Tuesday night’s shooting clinic in Cleveland, that won’t happen anymore. In the first half of the Boston Celtics’ preseason finale, the 5-foot-11 rookie had four points, was in foul trouble and just looked out of rhythm after he got bumped in the head

It’s hard to look at the New York Knicks after this summer and not see the glass half-empty. In fact, it’s hard to look at the glass and think it’s anything but empty. After they traded Kristaps Porzingis — who was the franchise’s biggest break in years — they bet the moon on winning both
Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson talk about all things NBA, including what made Kobe Bryant so great: He’s a well-calculated psychopath on the hardwood. It’s not just the great play on the hardwood that makes the NBA so captivating. A lot of the league’s popularity comes from the men playing in those basketball games, on
The NBA preseason is in full swing and teams around the league are shaking off the rust in exhibition games that may or may not be televised.

Being a number one overall draft pick in the NBA instantly puts a target on your back. Expectations come with that as well, fair or not. Andrew Wiggins has had a roller coaster ride since being taken with the top pick in the 2014 draft. After three years of promise, he has tapered off in
For the better part of the last decade, Jeff Teague has been a mainstay of the NBA point guard crop. He is the consummate professional every team desires to have, drawing on a track record of unselfishness and availability on the floor while also providing leadership and guidance away from it. Between 2011 and 2018,
The Southeast Division saw its fair share of new additions this offseason.
