It has been another forgettable campaign for the New Orleans Pelicans. Despite being able to qualify for the postseason for just the second time in the post-Anthony Davis era, their season ultimately ended in disappointment after another early first-round exit. It appears that the Pelicans front office is intent on making some major changes in the offseason. Apparently, this could mean the end of the line for All-Star forward Brandon Ingram.

The Dallas Mavericks have been riding their stars hard in the postseason. In the three games they’ve played against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the second round, Kyrie Irving has averaged no less than 39.9 minutes per game as the Mavs fight to book their place in the Western Conference Finals. For his part, however, Irving isn’t complaining.

In fact, Hart has been on the bench for a total of just…
The Boston Celtics were supposed to steamroll the Cleveland Cavaliers in their East Semis matchup. This certainly looked to be the case after the Celtics destroyed the Cavs in Game 1 on Tuesday, 120-95. The series resumed on Thursday for Game 2 in Boston and apparently, Donovan Mitchell and Co. didn’t get the script. They completely flipped the switch on the Celtics by blowing them out at the TD Garden, 118-94. 1-1. Cleveland Cavaliers News: Donovan Mitchell Sounds Off on Game 2 Win Mitchell is not, by any means, resting on his laurels. After leading the way for…
Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has been making all sorts of headlines of late. The six-time All-Star recently came out with a bold claim about the Heat still being alive in the playoffs right now if only he were available to play. While that statement in itself is a contentious claim, to say the least, that’s not the only reason why Butler has been trending on social media recently. Right now, Butler has also grabbed the attention of experts and fans alike as his future in South Beach has been put into serious question. Miami Heat News: Jimmy Butler Trade…
The tables have turned significantly on the Golden State Warriors and the New York Knicks this season. While the Dubs have been relegated to spectators of what has developed into a compelling NBA postseason, it’s the Knicks who are now on the brink of securing a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals. This has a lot to do with the strong play of Jalen Brunson, who has been playing out of his mind for the Knicks in the postseason thus far.

The first two games of the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers have had no shortage of action. There have also been more than a few controversial moments throughout Games 1 and 2, with Knicks emerging victorious in both. Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle hasn’t been very shy about calling out the game officials for the unfair treatment he believes his team is being subjected to. The tenured shot-caller also had some harsh criticism reserved for Knicks star Josh Hart. New York Knicks News: Rick Carlisle Slams Josh Hart Pacers superstar Tyrese…
Jalen Brunson has been tearing it up of late for the New York Knicks. If the NBA gave out an award for a postseason MVP then the All-Star point guard would certainly be one of the frontrunners amid his blistering run thus far. The Knicks, however, might have no other choice but to pump the brakes on the Brunson hype train. This is after the 27-year-old suddenly popped up on the injury report heading into Friday’s crucial Game 3 matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

The New York Knicks are currently in an excellent position to book their spot in the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2000. This is after they defeated the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday to take a commanding 2-0 advantage in their second-round matchup. The Knicks, however, have suffered a significant blow ahead of Game 3 in Indiana after it was revealed on Thursday that OG Anunoby will not be able to take part in Friday’s contest.

As was the case in Game 1, more than a few Indiana Pacers fans out there are feeling aggrieved by the way Thursday’s Game 2 showdown against the New York Knicks was officiated. Similar to the series opener, there were once again a number of questionable calls throughout Wednesday’s contest, with the majority of them — at least in the eyes of Pacers supporters — not going in Indiana’s favor. Tyrese Haliburton was asked to comment on the controversy surrounding the referees in Game 2, which prompted a brutally honest response from the All-Star point guard. Indiana Pacers News: Tyrese…
