Victor Oladipo is coming off one helluva season. He averaged 23.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists and a league-best 2.4 steals per game while slashing 47.7/37.1/79.9 in his first year with the Indiana Pacers. His performance in the first round against the Cleveland Cavaliers was touch-and-go at times, but his transcendence largely translated to the [...]

Boston sports fans are known as some of the most passionate and aggressive sports fans in the country (and they love to tell you about it). They were out in full force on Monday night to support the Celtics in Game 1 of their 2nd round series with the 76ers and may have contributed just [...]

Sunday was another memorable day in a career full of them for LeBron James. Especially when it comes to Game 7’s.

The San Antonio Spurs season ended Tuesday night with a 99-91 loss to the Warriors in Game 5 of their 1st round series.

The New Orleans Pelicans are the NBA playoff team no one saw coming. They weren’t supposed to be the first squad that secured entry into Round 2. Few people picked them to beat the Portland Trail Blazers at all. They sure as hell weren’t supposed to complete a sweep—and be the only team to do [...]

DeMarcus Cousins’ season-ending Achilles injury greatly changed the complexion of his impending free agency. Where he was a max-salary lock before, he’s now the league’s biggest question mark.
