Alex Caruso clarifies controversial Lakers bubble championship joke
Every year, the NBA ecosystem attempts to assign some sort of asterisk to that year’s champion, and 2025 will be no different. This year’s champion, the Oklahoma City Thunder, will face accusations that their title is tainted by Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton tearing his achilles tendon in the first quarter of Game 7, but chances…
The Thunder winning the NBA Championship ends the saddest Wizards streak
The Washington Wizards haven’t made the NBA Playoffs in five seasons, but that somehow isn’t the streak that best epitomizes how poorly the team has been run over the last decade-plus. That (dis)honor goes to the reality that heading into tonight, the last eight NBA champions had a former Wizard on their team, meaning that…
Fever coach eviscerates WNBA refs again after foul on Caitlin Clark, multiple ejections
While the Indiana Fever advanced to the Commissioner’s Cup title game on Tuesday with a win over the Connecticut Sun, the talking point from the game had little to do with their impending title matchup with the Minnesota Lynx. Multiple scuffles between the Fever and Sun, with the first involving Caitlin Clark, culminated in a…
Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is the gleeful villain the NBA Finals needs
The ball touched his hands about 10 feet behind the half-court line with 6.4 seconds left to play in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Cason Wallace picked him up at the logo with Alex Caruso cautiously watching to offer help if needed while staying with his assignment, Pascal Siakam. One hesitation dribble moved him…
The Fever finally have the MVP candidate (and contender) they were expecting
INDIANAPOLIS — A lot has gone wrong for the Fever this season. Saturday was a reminder of just how good they can look when things go right. While it’s still early in the year, to this point, the Fever have hardly looked like the title contenders most expected. Injuries have played a massive role in…
Fever give big update on returns of Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham
After spending the last three weeks largely just trying to get by, the Fever are set to look much closer to whole again on Saturday. Both Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham took part in practice on Friday and head coach Stephanie White said, barring any late setbacks, she expects both to suit up against the…
Remembering Lusia Harris-Stewart, the original women’s basketball pioneer
The WNBA has existed long enough for it to have its own legends. Players like Maya Moore, Diana Taurasi, Candace Parker, the list goes on and on. Personally, I am just old enough to have seen Cappie Pondexter play in the Prudential Center in Jersey for a middle school trip. However, whenever we talk about…
The Pacers are making it impossible to predict basketball games
The NBA is a takesman’s game. But the Indiana Pacers are making it impossible to be right. I’m no household name in this business, but I’ve seen enough to get friends and family asking me what I think will happen in the NBA Finals between the mystical creature we call the Pacers and the truly…
Aari McDonald is helping the Fever survive without Caitlin Clark
INDIANAPOLIS — Aari McDonald’s two most recent games in the WNBA have both come in Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. But those contests were sandwiched around a nine-month gap, highlighting how different the circumstances were for both. Last September, McDonald made her final appearance of the season with the Sparks in a loss to the Fever….
The Pacers’ Game 1 NBA Finals heist can only be captured by 5 perfect stats
Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers have pulled off some crazy comebacks during the 2025 playoffs, but their latest rally to win Game 1 of the NBA Finals might have been their wildest yet. The odds were against the Pacers winning this game from the outset, but they seemed especially long when the Oklahoma City…
