Through 74% of the regular season, the Miami Heat have smashed even the most optimistic expectations set by media and sportsbooks before this year’s basketball calendar began. In ESPN’s NBA preview, they predicted 49 wins for the outfit. FiveThirtyEight set the bar at a 44-38 record. Caesars Sportsbook forecasted 48.5 dubs. Currently, the Heatles […]
Knickstape is dead. Everyday it gets clearer, what New York did last year was an outlier in their machine of everlasting mediocrity. As always, there’s not that many fingers to blame, but this time, the head coach is responsible for most of the friction. For all of the Knicks personnel, it’s a good thing […]
Over the weekend, James Harden touched down in Philadelphia, greeted by his leading enabler (Daryl Morey). Following the trade, Harden moved at a snail’s pace. He took all of the allowed 48 hours given to a swapped player before making his anticipated arrival in the city of brotherly love. Clutch Points reported that he […]

The Portland Trail Blazers are running out of time to turn their season around. After 42% of the year, they’ve underachieved and sit at eight games below .500. Some of their record can be blamed on the injury report but most of it should be attributed to the poor product the Blazers have put on […]
The Miami Heat have turned misfortune into opportunity over their last 14 games. Since Dec. 1, the team has been without at least two starters and in some cases three. With key players catching the injury bug and COVID-19, the Heatles have managed to scrape away an 9-5 record. It’s tough for any […]
Kyrie Irving won. It probably won’t be long either before the Nets change course on their decision not to bring him back. Inexplicably, the Brooklyn Nets swallowed their words in the middle of a league-wide covid outbreak. And they shouldn’t have. It was only on Oct. 29 when team owner Joe Tsai said it […]
