Nowadays, it is common to see NBA personnel caught in that awkward situation of facing their former team. It should come as no surprise that we saw many of these scenarios play out during the Play-In Tournament.
What would happen if NBA relatives on different squads had to play each other in the postseason? Right now, we have at least five potential family feuds in the making.
If your idea of fun is predicting what the standings will look like when the season ends, you only have one more week left. We find out which teams will participate in the Play-In Tournament when the week ends.
Buckle up for what should be one of basketball’s most volatile periods of the year. We have the men’s NCAA tournament keeping us busy while we monitor the ever-changing landscape of the NBA standings. As if those two were not enough, big names in the women’s NCAA tournament are captivating us, too.
Some NBA plays are so iconic that we are forced to label them. “Dunk of the Year,” “Block of the Year,” and “Game-winner of the Year” are among some of the most recognizable superlatives.
Injuries aside, this week should be a good one in terms of competition. Here are some NBA games that should occupy our minds.
In the NBA this week, the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers will combine to give us at least five quality games. We break down their Western Conference opponents because how they perform will definitely have an impact on the standings. Additionally, there is one “race” out in the East that can be quite amusing to watch.
For many of us, the excitement of a new week in the NBA hits no greater height than seeing our teams move up a spot or two in the league standings. While the majority of us are just happy and content to see our teams make the postseason, others have set their sights on higher goals. They want their teams to be No. 1.
The rest of the NBA season promises to be filled with competitive battles all the way to the postseason. The teams who underperformed have already made their trades or replaced their coaches. Those who overperformed will have to rely on their momentum and push forward with the assets that they maintained. All these teams now believe that they have a chance to succeed.
Only four game-days are scheduled for this week, but three of those will have 10 or more contests. That’s still plenty of basketball to sort out.
Are you one of those feeling a little bit sad about Super Bowl Sunday being over? Don’t worry. An easy remedy for that is just around the corner. The NBA’s All-Star Weekend activities should be enough to help you move on from the recently concluded NFL season. You’ll surely cheer up once you see what the new week has to offer.
The NBA seems to be in a good place. A lot of players are emerging right now and we have easy access to how they are growing through daily highlights. Scoring is up, too, and if a team is down big, you can always count on them to have a huge comeback and make that particular game competitive again.
