Coach Chauncey Billups joined the Portland Trail Blazers back in 2021, and four years later, the team has yet to reach the NBA Playoffs.
The NBA Finals will start on Thursday. It has been one eventful season. From the wildest trade deadline ever (including the craziest trade ever), to the unfortunate injuries throughout the year, and to one of the best playoffs we’ve seen in recent memory, this has been one of the most hectic seasons in a long time.
The Boston Celtics have found themselves in unfamiliar territory following a disappointing end to their 2024-25 season. After a failed quest to repeat as back-to-back NBA champions, they now face the ultimate reality that changes are on the way.
With every season that passes, the Big Three era of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden slips further away. Yes, a decent scorer arrived in the form of Mikal Bridges, but even he is no longer with the Nets.
Chris, John, and Matt break down the Thunder’s dominant Game 1 win over the Timberwolves and the controversy around Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s foul-baiting. They also cover the Pacers’ huge fourth quarter comeback to steal Game 1 from the Knicks. Plus, a rapid-fire mailbag on playoff narratives, offseason moves, and more.
The second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs ended on Sunday, and it was absolutely wild. With Boston and Cleveland being eliminated, only one 60-win team remains.
While the Spurs’ season was gloomy, fans can always look back at the bright spots while hoping for a better tomorrow.
The first round of the NBA Playoffs is officially wrapped up, and a lot of crazy things have happened. This mostly has to do with the fact that a ton of stars have been eliminated. Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kawhi Leonard, and James Harden — who are all out — are stars we are used to seeing make it past the first round.
This season was all about the arrival of Paul George and whether the 76ers could finally get past the second round of the NBA Playoffs in the Joel Embiid era.
Chris sits down with John and Matt as they talk about the NBA Playoffs so far, give more predictions, and discuss potential trade destinations for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Losing is nothing new for the Charlotte Hornets. They have a losing record in eight of the last nine seasons. Key players missed games due to injuries and no one could step up to take their places. We now know that they have little depth and that, right now, is the main problem.
The NBA Playoffs officially commenced with the opening game between the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks this past weekend. There were many takeaways, so I am ready to overreact and make some predictions going forward.
