The MVP of the night | The unbearable irregularity of Jayson Tatum | NBA

Perhaps this season there is none more frustrating than Jayson Tatum. That's what Celtics fans must be thinking as they experience a roller coaster-like season of hot shots and flops from the Boston star. Against the Wizards, he planted 51 points, then continued with a performance of 36 points against the Kings, and the Celtics flew over the debates. Behind, he signs an ugly 5 of 17 on shots, and the Celtics lose Friday in Atlanta. That night, in New Orleans, he found his paw with 38 points on 17 of 26 on shots, and Boston found a smile to win 107-97. It is simply his best shooting performance of the season, at 65%, and he adds 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. Only his 4 of 13 from 3-pointers does the job, even if he puts an important winning shot in the "money time", but ...

Rick Carlisle moved to tears by Mavericks tribute | NBA

After 13 seasons at the head of the Mavericks, marked by the 2011 title, Rick Carlisle found Dallas. Absent during the meeting between the Mavs and the Pacers, on December 10, because he was then in quarantine, the moment was therefore special, and the coach had a hard time holding back his tears at the time of the video tribute. " I did not expect that ", commented the 62-year-old technician after the heavy defeat of his team. “The only other time I felt that kind of emotion was when we hoisted the league banner in the first game of the 2011/12 season, which was cut short by the lockout. It was the same kind of feeling. I didn't expect something like this. It was a wonderful gesture, which I greatly appreciate. » In addition to the sporting aspect, this return to Texas was s...

Basketball – NBA – Golden State overcomes Brooklyn thanks to its “Splash Brothers”

Three weeks after returning to the NBA, Klay Thompson was decisive for his Golden State Warriors, home scorers for the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night (110-106). It was a bit like the Ghosts' game at the Chase Center in San Francisco. On the local side, that of Klay Thompson, who returned to competition at the beginning of the month after two and a half years of absence; the other, Kyrie Irving, whose participation in the current season seemed strongly compromised because of his vaccination status, before being finally recalled by his franchise, the Brooklyn Nets, whose infirmary is always full. read also The results of the night Each in their own way, the two stars made their talent speak on Saturday evening, the last word going to the "Dubs" winger, author of a crucial three-point...

With a great Ja Morant, the Grizzlies devour the Wizards | NBA

Another big performance from the Grizzlies who knew how to manage the Wizards with great mastery by betting on a dazzling start and consistency until the end. On arrival, there was practically no match between the two teams as Memphis dominated its subject, going so far as to lead by 27 points. The locals capitalized on their successful start with an aggressive Ja Morant, an already skilful Desmond Bane and an imperial Jackson Jr-Adams tandem under the panels. So much so that after a 3-pointer and a left-handed lay-up from Ja Morant, Memphis was already leading by 18 points after 9 minutes of play (28-10). The Grizzlies kept their foot on the accelerator in the second quarter, increasing the gap to +21 following Desmond Bane's three straight baskets (44-23). From there, the loc...

Failing to be popular with fans, Jrue Holiday is content with the respect of his peers | NBA

To be All-Star at 22 years old by turning to 19 points on average (at the time of selection) and playing in a team with a negative balance sheet? Yes it's possible. Jrue Holiday achieved this small feat in 2013, during his last season with the team that drafted him, the 76ers. Despite his best statistical years that followed with the Pelicans, the point guard never won a second star. And it probably won't be for this year either. While, paradoxically, he displays a statistical level comparable to that of the 2012/13 season and plays mainly with the defending champions, the Bucks. While his teammate, Giannis Antetokounmpo, was logically designated among the holders of the conference, the leader did not even finish in the Top 10 of the "backcourt" of his conference. If we stop...

Gabe Vincent, the umpteenth asset released by the Heat | NBA

Arrived in Miami in January 2020 through a “two-way contract”, Gabe Vincent has since continued to progress within the franchise of Pat Riley, renowned for its internal development work. For his third season in Florida, the "combo-guard" has thus settled for good in Erik Spoelstra's rotation. With averages of 8.9 points and 3.2 assists in 23 minutes this season, he brings real added value to the Heat. Like other undrafted players before him, who found their place in Florida. Current club leader, authoritarian leader of the Eastern Conference, the 25-year-old is having a blast. In the absence of Kyle Lowry, who has missed the last six games for personal reasons, the Californian by birth has joined the five majors and he shines there: 13.6 points and 5 assists in six games, and f...

Gary Payton II never wants to leave the Warriors again | NBA

Can we win at the Warriors without an outside shot? In addition when we play on the back posts. Gary Payton II probably wondered, and to give himself the best chance of staying at Golden State, he decided to redouble his efforts in training, focusing on corner shots, there. where you usually find an Andre Iguodala, or a Harrison Barnes a few years ago. The goal is not to be the third "Splash Brother", but to be able to sanction the defenses that have left him free since his arrival in the NBA. Result: he shoots 64% this season, including 38% from 3-pointers. In five years, he had shot only 86 times from 3-pointers. After 30 matches, he is already at 79 shots. “He worked on his shooting, and he started the season with a lot of confidence” stresses Steve Kerr. “He does a great ...

Nikola Jokic, the force of habit | NBA

To dominate the Pelicans, Nikola Jokic did not force his talent: he simply retained his exceptional level of play in January. The pivot still showed another face in the second half, after a very shy first, with 22 points scored, including 16 in the third quarter thanks to three award-winning baskets. In the Nuggets' victory, he finished with 29 points (11/19 in shooting, 3/6 at 3-pts), 13 rebounds and 10 assists. Another triple-double for him this month, his 6th, and the 69th of his career. He is thus quickly approaching Wilt Chamberlain, with his 78 triple-double. "He's an MVP who does MVP stuff" “He can take control of a game whenever he wants. That's exactly what he did.", notes his new teammate Bryn Forbes for ESPN. "When he puts in at 3-pts, he's almost unstoppable", sa...
