Playoff seeding isn’t very important at this point in the season, less than halfway through the schedule, but given that LeBron James has missed 16 games, Austin Reaves has missed 11 and counting, and Luka Dončić has missed seven, the fact that the Los Angeles Lakers can move into second place in the Western Conference […]

On the night of the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft, one of the most widely-panned deals in league history went down. The New Orleans Pelicans, who were selecting with the 23rd overall pick, clearly had their eyes on Maryland center Derik Queen, but he was never going to fall that far. So the […]

An 82-game NBA season is a roller-coaster, but roller-coasters always tend to find equilibrium in the long run.

On New Year’s Eve, San Antonio Spurs fans held their collective breath as Victor Wembanyama rushed into the locker room after hyperextending his left knee in San Antonio’s 134-132 win over the New York Knicks. It was the second time this season that the big man has been injured and came just two days after […]

Right now, there seems to be a pretty clear top six in the Western Conference, as well as a pretty clear bottom five, and the Play-In Tournament race has further separation within. If there’s any shakeup in the last 50ish games of the season, though, it’s likely to come from the LA Clippers, who are […]

Last season, the New York Knicks and Detroit Pistons played one of the more tightly-fought playoff series in NBA history, with each of the final four games being decided by a single possession, and this season, they’re just three games apart at the top of the Eastern Conference nearly halfway through the season. It should […]
