Keep on rollin: 10 takeaways from Celtics/Pistons

Photo by Brian Babineau/NBAE via The short-handed Boston Celtics handled their business against the Detroit Pistons #1 Derrick White’s triple-double After three full days of rest, Derrick White looked fantastic. With Jrue Holiday ruled out of the game, he operated as the Boston Celtics primary point guard against the Detroit Pistons. As we’ve come to expect from White, he controlled the game on both sides of the floor and was a viable shot-creator for his teammates. White is great at finding little pockets within angles. The above transition play is a good...

Open Thread: Looking back at Pop’s opposing head coaches- Mavericks edition

Photos by Logan Riely/NBAE via The other interstate rival has fostered some long-term coaching relationships As mentioned previously, an article entitled “Pop’s Incredible Longevity” revealed that San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has coached against 307 different NBA coaches during his twenty-eight year tenure at the helm. Since the firing of Bob Hill in 1996, Pop has consistently coached the Spurs, give or take an ejection or two. Tonight the Spurs play the Dallas Mavericks. Just like Houston, Dallas has had less coaches with a longer time at the...

What is Amen Thompson’s long-term position?

We want Thompson to be a point guard. Is that viable? | Photo by Carmen Mandato/ Can Thompson run point in his prime? Rockets fans are tired of debating whether someone is a point guard. Yet, the debate rages on. For a long time, the subject was...well, you know exactly who. Fine, we’ll say it. There’s no sense in pretending he never existed: Kevin Porter Jr. You remember the terms of the discussion. Porter Jr.’s supporters would argue that in the modern NBA, the best point guards are shot creators. Reasonable people His detractors would counter that even Steph...

Poor habits plague the Warriors in loss against the Knicks

Poor habits plague the Warriors in loss against the Knicks

Photo by Ezra Shaw/ Lack of attention to detail burns the Warriors. It feels like the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers are fated to play a game of hot potato with the 10th and 9th seeds this season. After beating the Lakers two nights ago to climb back up to 9th, they have fallen back to 10th after losing to the New York Knicks at home, while the Lakers took care of business by blowing out the Atlanta Hawks — not exactly the sequence of events they were hoping for upon returning home. It also makes the possibility of them climbing up to the 7th/8th...

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Dallas Mavericks

Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports The Spurs return to San Antonio after 2 games in Austin for a match-up with the Dallas Mavericks With just a few weeks left in the regular season, the Dallas Mavericks have plenty to play for still in the tight Western Conference standings. With a 39-29 record, they sit in 7th as of this writing, the same record as the 8th seeded Phoenix Suns. While a top 3 spot is likely out of reach this late into the season, staying out of the play-in bracket is very much still in play. They’re just 3.5 back of the 4th seeded Clippers and actually have...

Blazers Drop Close Duel vs. Bulls

Blazers Drop Close Duel vs. Bulls

Photo by Jamie Sabau/ 30 points from Simons and a fourth-quarter comeback came up just short. A spirited Portland Trail Blazers’ road effort came within an Anfernee Simons 3-pointer of overtime against the Chicago Bulls tonight. The ball was still on Ant’s fingertips when the red lights flashed; the shot rimmed out, anyway. Ball game. Bulls win: 110-107. After the Bulls went on a transition and 3-point rampage in the third quarter to gain separation, the Blazers responded in kind with a 3-point fest of their own in the fourth to get Simons in position to tie it....

Damian Lillard Sits Courtside For Blazers vs. Bulls

Former Portland Trail Blazers All-Star Damian Lillard was in attendance as his former team played the Chicago Bulls Monday night. Lillard was traded from the Blazers to the Milwaukee Bucks during the 2023-24 preseason. With a two-day break for the Bucks after Sunday’s home victory over the Phoenix Suns, Lillard took some time to visit with old friends from both teams, and just enjoy the festivities. The game ended with Anfernee Simons barely...

Hawks get blitzed by Lakers on second night of back-to-back in LA, lose 136-105

Photo by Adam Pantozzi/NBAE via The Atlanta Hawks were back in action on Monday night in Los Angeles again, but this time against the Lakers. The Hawks were just coming off a dominant performance against the Clippers, and they were looking to build on that win against a Lakers team that is also the 10th seed in their respective conference. Luckily for the Hawks, they got Onyeka Okongwu back tonight after he missed several games due to a foot injury. The Hawks got off to a fast start, and Jalen Johnson got things off right with a poster dunk on Austin Reaves. GOOD...

Scenes from New York dropping a major Deuce on the Dubs

Photo by Noah Graham/NBAE via Knicks 119, Warriors 112: Deuce McBride starts at shooting guard and scores a career-high, Josh Hart plays the entire game and scores a triple-double, and Isaiah Hartenstein dominates the Golden frontcourt. On Monday night, the New York Knicks (40-27) paid a visit to the Golden State Warriors (35-31) for game three of a West Coast trip. Thibs opted for a smaller lineup with OG Anunoby out and starting Miles McBride at shooting guard paid major dividends. New York won the first quarter 30-22 and, despite a late surge by the Warriors,...
