Still making my way through the Atlantic Division as I explore the world of basketball around us. I feel like LeVar Burton doing Reading Rainbow, except instead of riveting children’s stories, I’m learning about why nobody has won back-to-back titles since the Golden State Warriors last did it between 2017 and 2018. One of those teams that had an opportunity …

For years now, Harrison barnes has shown he more than a basketball player. Together with his wife Brittany, the Barnes have made many charitable donations.

The blog’s own Nik Land posed an important question on X that we’ll surely be talking about heavily throughout the next few weeks: what does the Celtics’ Opening Night starting 5 look like?  Does Payton Pritchard open on the bench?

With a …

If the Golden State Warriors front office has specialized in anything over the last few seasons, it’s in coming oh-so-close to adding stars, whether in trades or free agency. Now another All-Star has joined the stunning roster of almost-Warriors. Anthony Slater reported that the Warriors were “exploring a trade” for Jaren Jackson, Jr. at last year’s deadline, before the Memphis …

People who never saw great athletes play frequently can’t believe the claims about them. We’ve seen this recently with some who doubt that Wilt Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single NBA game, apparently because there’s no video. In 1962, though, not only was the NBA not on TV a lot, TV cameras looked like this (he did score 100, …

The 2022 Celtics were carried into the NBA Finals on the back of their defense. Sure, they had Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown to carry the offense, but that team had a lot of offensive flaws, including turning the ball over way too often. Unlike that team, this Celtics team doesn’t have a clear number 2 offensive option (unless Payton …

The Warriors are facing a legal fight just weeks before training camp, with two former employees accusing the organization of discrimination, retaliation and fostering a hostile workplace.

Since making their first NBA Finals appearance in a dozen years, the Spurs have done some retooling. Before the season even ended, Spurs associate head coach Sean Sweeney was offered the head coaching position with the Orlando Magic. With a hole on the coaching staff, the Spurs brought in some heavy artillery in the form of Billy Donovan. Donovan just …

The Lakers coming up short in their pursuit of Jonathan Kuminga, who’s joining the Timberwolves, will have a trickle-down effect on the rest of their roster.  One of the biggest questions moving forward: Who will be the Lakers’ fifth starter once the 2026-27 season starts?  Advertisement If Kuminga was on the roster, he would’ve been in the first unit alongside …
