The Milwaukee Bucks may be the second seed in the Eastern Conference with a 47-29 record, but they know they have several things to address before the postseason starts. One is their consistency, particularly on the road since they are on a two-game losing streak and lost four of their last five games. The 117-113 road loss against the Washington Wizards on Tuesday was one of the most humiliating defeats they’ve suffered this year, and head coach Doc Rivers called out the whole team after the match. “I don’t know. I think focus. You know, it’s funny, I’ve actually been…

Terry Rozier hasn’t played in the postseason since moving to the Charlotte Hornets in 2019. Now that he is with the Miami Heat, who are on the cusp of making it back to the playoffs, Rozier is not taking his new lease of life for granted. “It’s great. You know how my last four years went. So just to be in this position, to be competing and to be in an important spot, it means a lot,” said Rozier via Ira Winderman of The Sun Sentinel. This isn’t the first time that Terry Rozier has spoken about this. In late…

The NC State Wolfpack are through to the Final Four of the ongoing NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament after they defeated the Duke Blue Devils 76-64 on Sunday. This marks the first time since their 1983 title run that they’ve made it this far. And because their women’s team is also on an epic tournament run, their fans couldn’t be more proud of their basketball program. One of them is Janny Wolfe, Jayden Taylor’s elementary teacher, who recently re-affirmed her support to her former student via her X (formerly known as Twitter). “Hey Jayden! Mrs. Wolfe here! I am so proud…

Shawn Marion recently claimed he was a “better defender” than Draymond Green, and the Golden State Warriors forward didn’t take his comment lightly. “Draymond, I think I love his tenacity, energy, and heart, but I still think I was a way better defender than he was. The reason I say that is because when I had to guard point guards or when I actually guard you, I’ll guard you for the whole game,” Marion said on the Club 520 podcast. Draymond Green revealed his true feelings about Marion’s claim by commenting on Basketball Network’s social media post, saying that he…

Paul Pierce’s Nike Air PP IVs that he wore during Game 1 of the 2008 NBA Finals are currently on eBay for $39,350 because of the infamous story behind the “Wheelchair Game”. In the third period of the said game, Paul Pierce had to be helped to the locker room using a wheelchair after he crumpled to the floor following an accidental collision with teammate Kendrick Perkins on the back of his knee. But Paul Pierce returned shortly from the locker room and finished the game with 22 points on 7-of-10 shooting to give the Boston Celtics a 98-88 win…

The Houston Rockets would’ve called it quits this season when they lost Alperen Sengun to injury a few weeks ago. But, fast forward to today, they’re fighting for a play-in spot in the Western Conference after winning 11 of their last 12 games. Because of how good the Houston Rockets have been lately without their starting center, Paul Pierce said during the latest edition of the All The Smoke podcast that the Houston Rockets should consider trading Alperen Sengun in exchange for a key veteran. “Man, the Houston Rockets were on a 10-game winning streak. Right on Golden State’s ass.…

The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Chicago Bulls 113-101 on Monday night. But one of the biggest stories of the match was when Bogdan Bogdanovic and head coach Quin Snyder were caught on camera having a heated exchange on the sidelines. This happened within the last two minutes when the Atlanta Hawks were comfortably ahead 113-96. During a timeout, the Serbian combo guard threw a water bottle onto the ground before shouting and pointing his finger toward Snyder. The rest of the team had to intervene to separate them. However, after the verbal spat, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Quin Snyder were seen…

The Minnesota Timberwolves have clinched their spot in the 2023-24 NBA Playoffs with eight regular-season games to spare since they own the No. 3 spot in the Western Conference with a 51-23 record. Assuming they finish the regular season as one of the top four seeds, the Minnesota Timberwolves are likely to have home court for at least one series. But even with all of this, their former guard-turned-analyst Jamal Crawford is not a big believer in their playoff chances. “Don’t be fooled by the Minnesota Timberwolves. I love the Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards is my favorite player to watch right…
