One season after being effectively unstoppable until the NBA Finals, Luka Dončić ($12,800) could find himself in a precarious situation before he even plays a road playoff game with the Los Angeles Lakers. Of course, Los Angeles’ season won’t technically be over if it loses both of its home games, but it’ll be a difficult […]

During the opening weekend of the 2025 NBA playoffs, there weren’t really any major surprises. In fact, every single higher-seeded team won their opening game…except for one. The team that lost was probably the most high-profile team in the league, although not the most dominant — the Los Angeles Lakers. Los Angeles shot just 39.8% […]

After two pretty fantastic games in the two series that have been competitive so far last night, the first round of the NBA playoffs continues tonight with three more contests.

I went out and bought myself sunglasses this morning because after a long, cold winter, it’s starting to turn towards summer. And in the United States, summer means one thing: baseball.

With nine minutes to play in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s Game 1 win over the Detroit Pistons, the New York Knicks trailed 98-90. Cameron Payne hit a layup to cut the deficit to six, and Tom Thibodeau put Jalen Brunson into the game. The southpaw hit a floater to cut the deficit to three. […]

For a while, the first-round series between the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons seemed like an upset, as some third-quarter apathy on the home side’s part threatened to allow the Pistons to steal back home-court advantage. But a 21-0 fourth-quarter run by New York thwarted that, and the thousands of fans both inside and […]

All eight series in the NBA playoffs tipped off last weekend with Game 1. Of the eight games, seven were relatively non-competitive. The only exception came high in the Rocky Mountains, where five extra minutes were needed to decide a thriller between the Denver Nuggets and the LA Clippers. Ultimately, the home side notched a […]

After 1,230 regular-season games, one championship game for the Emirates NBA Cup, and six Play-In Tournament games, the NBA playoffs are here. Some things — like the Boston Celtics’ position as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference — remain the same. Others — like the franchise Luka Dončić represents — have changed. […]

Was the Indiana Pacers’ breakthrough in the 2024 NBA playoffs, where they made the Eastern Conference Finals, a fluke? Looking at their second half of the 2024-25 regular season, it’s hard to say it was. This afternoon, Indiana will begin its 2025 postseason run against the same opponent it finished off in six games in […]

If the Memphis Grizzlies lose tonight to the Dallas Mavericks in a do-or-die Play-In Tournament contest, Grizzlies fans will surely rue the play that occurred with four minutes, 25 seconds remaining in the third quarter of Memphis’ 121-116 loss in the 7-8 matchup against the Golden State Warriors, when Ja Morant landed on Buddy Hield’s […]
