Hola, and welcome to the penultimate week of the NBA regular season. It may be Easter at the moment, but you might be forgiven for thinking that it's Valentine's Day with all the loving that's going on in the NBA right now. Let's take a moment to catch up on all the gossip and blossoming...

If you've ever been lucky enough to visit Madison Square Garden, you might have come across a giant framed photo within the arena. It's a nod to one of the most famous moments in the storied building's history. Keep in mind that MSG is not just the Mecca of hoops - this is an arena that has...

Hola, and welcome to week 21 in the grueling NBA schedule. Unless of course you are one of the copious numbers of NBA stars currently suffering from injury or affliction, in which case welcome to another week of sitting on your arses like the rest of us couch potatoes. It's been a harrowing...

Bonjour, and welcome to another big week in NBA basketball. Some of the more astute among you may have noticed we didn't do a thread for last week. Cynics may have surmised that it was because All-Star week is about as exciting as extensive press coverage over juvenile friendships being ruined...

Hello, and welcome to a very special NBA week. Special not just because it's the last week before the All-star break. And special not just because we're recovering from the fallout of the trade period. But special because you, as the reader, will get an exclusive peek into the pressure that...

Welcome to Week 14, where the corn fields of Indiana are suddenly a destination. If New Orleans ever joins them, I think we can officially say that end times are upon us. These weekly threads are our safe space to give voice to our hopes, dreams and frustrations. On the plus side, it leaves us...

Well, it's unlucky Week 13, which probably means we're all back at work now and forced to watch games surreptitiously on phones or spare monitors for, ahem, research purposes. Hey, how else are these threads going to get done? Of course the NBA never sleeps, no holiday seasons off for these...

G'day, and welcome to the portion of the NBA season known colloquially as 'the grind'. No, not THAT one, Dwight - put the phone down, mate. Now that the fun and festivities of Christmas, New Year and the Lakers' prestigious IST banner unfurling are over and done with, it's time for teams to get...

Season's greetings Bball brothers, and welcome to the most festive week of the NBA season. If you're anything like me, you struggle mightily when it comes to choosing gifts at this time of year. It's not just fighting for parking spots, or navigating the labyrinthine shopping malls that have...

Hello all, and welcome to Week 7 of the NBA - where the season proper will pause, and we'll all watch multi-millionaires play for a $500,000 prize pool. Normally our benevolent overlord peternorth would be making this OP, however work, family commitments and possible super fun sexy times...

Man that sucks. Another serious injury, this time to one of the rising young stars of the NBA. Only bright spot is that it could have been worse.

Clippers getting pantsed again. This time by the 1-8 Grizz lol 😂

I suppose an argument can be made that until Tatum wins a ring, Giannis still the best player in the East. But that's the only player that can be considered. Embiid certainly can't be considered given how he always chokes in the playoffs. Confident Tatum will get the most all star votes in the...

In possibly what's an NBA record, the NBA has kindly scheduled 66.66666% of its Super Sunday (Marquee Monday our time) games featuring our Aussie stars. First up The defending NBA Champion Nuggets outfit host OKC. OKC averages 18 FTs/game, in contrast to Denvers 15. With Jack White just...

Arguably the most interesting game at time of publication lies in Fridays game in Philly. Currently, Jim Harden is on leave citing personal reasons. A recurring trend for the loveable beard. Prominent strip clubs in the great Philadelphia area are holding daily vigils in hope Harden will stay...

After 82 emotional games, spanning 25 weeks, we finally made it here. The Play in games opens the post season (posted dates USA time) OKC, Memphis rested their entire roster it seemed. As did Dallas. The Knicks did not. The Lakers announced the signing of reinforcements today as well...

Atlanta are deadset putrid. 83 first half points and 31 second half points with a minute to go. Trae looks like he’s sooking it up BIG TIME. Edit: just noticed Trae and Collins didn’t high 5 after the FT whilst Trae and Clint did. Could be some beef there

Amidst the firestorm that's been Ja Morants affinity with firearms, the Nuggets have lost their last 3 games - Bulls, Spurs, Nets. But Joker got his triple double today. Freak Nets and Nuggets both shot 24 free throws. Time to celebrate Ja style

Philly have already dispatched the pesky Pistons, Jim Harden registering a triple double. Whereas in the north, The Raps took care of the Trailblazers from Portland. Portlands bench was wildly outscored. In fact Portlands only bench scoring contribution came via one 3 point bucket courtesy of...

In almost a quarter of the way through the regular season, it looks like the Celtics to lose out East. The Bucks being the real only genuine threat. Everyones second team, the Cavs are balling but questions remain as to its interior defence should Allen miss more than an acceptable number of...

In the annuls of NBA lore, greatness is thrust upon those who choose to accept when the chips are down. In basketball heartlands, legends are born. Indiana, Boston, New York. Jordan, 8th November 1984 Lebrons 52 points Now add this name to the list J. GIDDY 24 point triple double in OT...

The Utah Jazz sit on top of the NBA unbeaten. Clearly heeding HQ words of warning to circumvent the T word. Allowing for Thanksgiving, the NBA have avoided scheduling inter conference games.

Hello, and welcome to the 2022 NBA playoffs thread, brought to you by Primetime Pricey 's shelter for degenerate punters - where if you're not raging about overrated spuds ruining your multi, then you're not doing it properly. Allegedly. When our esteemed moderator peternorth came to me with a...

ayyy yoooooo First time doing a portfolio on big footy and there's only so much you can do with AFL team designs because they have to stay similar to tradition, but with the NBA, teams can do aaaanything. I've decided to design the "City Edition" uniforms for next season. I'm going to be...

The Suns were finally knocked off the the Warriors, who then succumbed to Spurs who were wearing ..... wtf were they wearing? Anyway, I'm sure you'll agree the number 1 requested item from Santa this year is something coming out of Phoenix that could one day rival.......

"Guys who aren't about that life need to stop acting like they are" How many times will we see players engage in faux tough incidents this week? By the time you read this post the Lakers will have already lost to San Antonio with the Chucky Brown Cup heading to Texas The Hawks and Bucks renew...

Six games feature winless, hapless teams tomorrow/today. The exciting Charlotte Hornets, led by NBL star LaMelo Ball, former celtics Rozier and Hayward, and the brother of current Perth Wildcat and former NBA Star Miles Plumlee, look to inflict further pain on the struggling Nets. Boston, also...
