NBA Draft Report: Kel'el Ware Of Indiana

Kel'el Ware has stretch center potential, while also possessing a floor as a playable rim-runner, which says a lot about him as a prospect.

The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

by John Wilmes

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

NBA Draft Report: Devin Carter Of Providence

by Zachary Cohen

Devin Carter won't be a star, but he could certainly be a starter or high end rotation player with his ability on both ends of the floor and do all the little things.

Joel Embiid Is Already Legend

by John Wilmes

Joel Embiid carries the weight of expectations differently than others. As his fanbase and national media have constructed stories that have him as the potential messiah in a decade-long process of experimental team-building, coupled with the unusual rabidity of Philadelphia sports fans, he has accepted this role sincerely.

The Groundhog Day series is over, the Lakers led at halftime every single game, then the Nuggets won every 3rd quarter and overall 4 out of 5 games at the end!

In the 2023 championship run, Porter offensively underperformed (he did not recover 100% from an injury like Murray did that year), so we need him 100% ready and in shape this playoff to compensate for our loss of impactful 6th man Brown, and MPJ delivered so far!

27 to 9 free throw advantage tonight. The NBA tried to put the fraudulent Lakers over the top but Denver would have none of it. Congrats Denver for knocking the league office darlings out of the playoffs.
