Celtics’ magic number for top seed shrinks to four after Nuggets, Thunder losses

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports The Boston Celtics have a chance to seal away the top seed over their final 10 games. It’s time to sweep the leg. Well folks, we’ve just about made it to the end of the NBA regular season, and the Boston Celtics are cruising to the finish line with a chance to clinch the top overall seed after locking up the East. Right now, the Thunder, Nuggets and Timberwolves all have 22 losses. Barring those three teams losing a few games and making it easier for the Celtics, Boston simply needs to win four more games. That’s it. A record of 4-6...

Why Don’t the Blazers or ROOT Sports Offer Standalone Streaming?

Photo by Nik Kleinberg/ In today’s mailbag, Tim talks about why there are no a la carte streaming options for the NBA, Blazers, and ROOT Sports Northwest. ROOT Sports Northwest is a big topic in the Pacific Northwest today. Not only is it opening night of the Seattle Mariners season, but the Mariners owner discussed the status of ROOT, which is owned by his team. Grousing and questions were inevitable.

3 Takeaways from Brooklyn Nets surprisingly fun win over Washington Wizards

3 Takeaways from Brooklyn Nets surprisingly fun win over Washington Wizards

Photo by Stephen Gosling/NBAE via When you’re rebuilding and the kids are all right, the game can be great. It wasn’t played on a nerf hoop with limited ceiling space or lighting, nor did it feature a bunch of school kids, but by all other standards, last night’s game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Washington Wizards was a basement hoops battle for the ages. Stuck toward the bottom end of the Eastern Conference standings, both teams are more or less in the league’s cellar. With each all but eliminated from the playoffs as well, the game’s result meant very...

In The Loopus: Over Unders and Ever Afters

Photo by Christian Petersen/ Jalen Green and Amen Thompson are leading a streaking Rockets team into the Play-In Tournament conversation, while Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns are putting things together, but have a bleak future. Last week, we ended with a bit of a soliloquy about the joys of fandom, the childhood innocence of the insanity of March Madness, and the leak in the balloon that is betting. This week, we have Toronto Raptors forward Jontay Porter likely ending his own NBA career by betting unders on his own player props. While readers here likely don’t...

James Harden discusses his return to Philadelphia

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports Following the Clippers’ one-point win over the Sixers on Wednesday night, James Harden spoke to reporters about his return to Philadelphia and his past relationships within the organization. While James Harden didn’t seem interested in discussing his return to Philadelphia prior to Wednesday night’s game, the Los Angeles Clippers coming away with the 108-107 victory — one made possible by what the officials later admitted was an incorrect non-foul call on Kelly Oubre Jr.’s drive at the buzzer — seemed to put The Beard in a...
