NBA 2025-26

Holy crap!  The Raptors’ RJ Barrett made a dagger three at the buzzer in overtime that bounced off the back rim and in for a 112-110 win to force Game 7 against the Cavaliers on Sunday in Cleveland.

I am so amped for this game!  The Magic are playing the Pistons in Game 7.  We will see if the Pistons can follow up their miraculous Game 6 comeback in a do-or-die matchup.

The Pistons beat the Magic, 116-94, to advance to play the Central rival Cavaliers beginning on Tuesday in Detroit.

Sometimes, it pays to be bad at basketball.  The Wizards won the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft lottery.  The Jazz, Grizzlies and Bulls rounded out the Top 4.

This could be very costly in the long run.  The Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama was assessed a flagrant foul 2 and was ejected from Game 4 for elbowing the Timberwolves’ Naz Reid in the face.  Updates to come.

The Timberwolves beat the Spurs, 114-109.

Should I start panicking?  The Cavaliers’ Donovan Mitchell had 39 second-half points to tie the NBA playoff record for most points in a half in a 112-103 win to even the series with the Pistons.

This is tragic!  Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke died at the age of 29.

UPDATE:  Given his arrest from a month ago, this all makes sense now.  According to ABC News, Clarke was found dead from a possible drug overdose.

The Association is now mourning the loss of two of its own.  Jason Collins, the first openly gay player in NBA history, died at 47 after being treated for brain cancer.

My depression, it’s real.  The Cavaliers won Game 7, blowing out the No. 1 seed Pistons, 125-94, to reach the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2018, where they will play the Knicks beginning on Tuesday in New York.

We are watching a superstar in the making.  Victor Wembanyama’s double-double of 41 points and 24 rebounds helped the Spurs take down the Thunder in Game 1, 122-115, in double overtime.

This postseason keeps delivering.  The Knicks erased a 22-point deficit in under eight minutes in the Eastern Conference Finals to tie the Cavaliers at 101-101 with Game 1 going to overtime.  Updates to come.

UPDATE:  Unbelievable!  The Knicks stunned the Cavaliers with a 22-point fourth-quarter comeback, the largest in the playoffs since 2012, in a 115-104 overtime win.

That was sick!  The Spurs’ Stephon Castle completely embarrassed the Thunder’s Isaiah Hartenstein with one of the nastiest posters of the season in Game 2.  The Thunder beat the Spurs, 122-113.
