  • Dwight Howard says Thunder are ‘afraid’ of Lakers: ‘I see no problems with OKC’

    1 week ago | lakersdaily.com | Jesse Cinquini

    Heading into the 2025 NBA Playoffs, the Oklahoma City Thunder might just be the team to beat in the Western Conference. They are led by one of the best players in the NBA right now in guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the team finished the 2024-25 regular season with the NBA’s best record at 68-14. To put the Thunder’s historically dominant regular season into perspective, Oklahoma City is one of just seven teams in league history to win 68 games or more in a single season.

  • LeBron James' agent says Miami Heat never actually had Big 3 ‘when you think about it’

    When the golden days of Miami Heat basketball are brought up, there are likely three players that come to mind for plenty of folks: LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Miami reached four consecutive NBA Finals and won two championships when the Heat employed what many consider to have been a Big 3. In the eyes of James’ agent Rich Paul, however, the Heat never actually had a Big 3. He noted that Bosh saw his role get relegated quite a bit compared to his time with the Toronto Raptors.

    In the wake of Mike Budenholzer getting dismissed from his job as the head coach of the Phoenix Suns, a fascinating report has surfaced regarding what he asked out of one of his star players, guard Bradley Beal. Budenholzer reportedly told Beal he wanted him to be the “Jrue Holiday of this team,” and Beal is said to have gotten offended in response. He apparently told Budenholzer not to disrespect him.

    The Phoenix Suns recently sacked head coach Mike Budenholzer after he spent just one season with the team. Budenholzer is a championship coach, as he helped the Milwaukee Bucks win the 2021 NBA title, but Phoenix finished the 2024-25 season with a subpar 36-46 record and did not qualify for the playoffs. Some leaks have come out since the firing, and one of them involves Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday.

  • Billy Donovan says Lonzo Ball will miss play-in game vs. Heat unless something ‘happens significantly’

    1 week ago | heatnation.com | Jesse Cinquini

    On Wednesday, the No. 9 and No. 10 seeds in the Eastern Conference — the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat — will duke it out in a play-in game. The losing team will see its season come to a close, while the team that wins will move on to face the loser of the other Eastern Conference play-in matchup between the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic. Unfortunately for the Bulls, they will in all likelihood be without point guard Lonzo Ball for the important contest against Miami.
