Five of the eight NBA first-round series have concluded. Of the three that haven’t, the Western Conference 4-5 matchup between the Denver Nuggets and the LA Clippers feels the most destined to go seven games. There hasn’t been much separating the teams so far — three of the five games have been decided by one […]

The fact that he made the All-NBA Second Team in 2023-24 aside, it felt like Kawhi Leonard had fallen off the national stage. A knee injury cut his 2024 postseason short and the LA Clippers bowed out quietly to the Dallas Mavericks in six games. He was subsequently pulled from the Olympic team and missed […]

Alperen Şengün had 31 points, 10 boards, and five […]

Three months after acquiring Luka Dončić in arguably the most shocking trade in NBA history, the Los Angeles Lakers’ season is on the brink. Game 1 aside, the games have been fairly competitive. But it doesn’t matter; after back-to-back losses on the road to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles has its back against the wall, […]

When the Los Angeles Lakers traded for Luka Dončić on February 1, the expectation was that the trade lowered the Lakers’ ceiling in the short-term and raised it for the next decade, a modest expectation that grew stronger when Los Angeles rescinded its deal for Charlotte Hornets starting center Mark Williams. Then Dončić and LeBron […]

Four of the eight first-round playoff series are now over, after the Indiana Pacers and Boston Celtics joined the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the second round and the New York Knicks fell just short of doing so.

Talk about nail-biting and talk about controversial. The ball might’ve still been on Aaron Gordon’s fingertips as it passed through the rim when time expired on Saturday’s Game 4. Even on slow-motion replay, it was too close to call, and who knows if it would have been called a basket if it hadn’t been ruled […]
