The Heat correct desperate Knicks | NBA

The Heat starts very strong. By a suffocating defense and effective systems for two award-winning shots from Duncan Robinson, the Floridians take an 11-point lead after four minutes (13-2). The Knicks find themselves chasing the score from the start, not ideal for gaining confidence. Especially since PJ Tucker unexpectedly catches fire (10 points) and the Heat logically prances in the lead after twelve minutes (30-16). It is then Tyler Herro, back after a week in solitary confinement, who takes over for the Heat. The sixth man from Miami scored 9 points in 6 minutes and the gap remained above 15 points. We have to wait for a big pass from RJ Barrett, which allows the Knicks to pick up at -10 halfway through the second quarter (46-36), to find some interest in this meeting. T...

Soap Ben Simmons: Hawks and Sixers reportedly discussed five-player trade | NBA

While Daryl Morey assures that there is dead calm on the front lines of Ben Simmons transfer talks, Hoopshype reveals the Sixers were in advanced negotiations with the Hawks. We do not know when the discussions date since Atlanta has raised its head for 10 days, but the exchange involved five major players. Thus, the Sixers were ready to send Ben Simmons and Tobias Harris to the Hawks, in exchange for John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Danilo Gallinari. On paper, it was rather balanced with confirmed players, and a young talent like John Collins to satisfy the Sixers. No playmaker to compensate for the departure of Ben Simmons, but the team is doing well without him, and Philly would have gained in size, points, rebounds and density. But... Hoopshype reports that negotiations ...

“Trade deadline”: the Cavaliers aim for a second back | NBA

After losing Collin Sexton and Ricky Rubio, we imagined that the Cavaliers would take advantage of the “trade deadline” to recruit a point guard, but according to Hoopshype, management would instead seek a second full-back. The hatching, and even the explosion of Darius Garland, followed by the arrival of Rajon Rondo seem sufficient to approach the second part of the season, and according to our confreres, three players would be in their viewfinder: Caris Levert, Eric Gordon and Terrence Ross. The track Joe Harris, a former member of the house, is more complicated, given the status he has acquired in Brooklyn. The first is a free electron, a strong attacker, and he would indeed do good in position 2. He does not have the defensive qualities of Isaac Okoro but he would bring pun...

The patience of James Bouknight finally rewarded | NBA

If it was Cody Martin who started in the five majors in place of Gordon Hayward, absent last night against Toronto, it was James Bouknight who benefited the most from the veteran's absence. Since James Borrego had decided to rely on a tight rotation of seven players, the rookie out of the university of UConn benefited from 28 minutes of play, his biggest total of the season. Despite the Hornets' defeat, trampled by the Raptors in offensive display, the Crown Heights, Brooklyn native delivered a good game off the bench, demonstrating all the "microwave scorer" qualities that made him a "lottery pick” last summer: 18 points (6/11), including 13 in the second quarter alone. « It sure is a nice feeling » confessed the player, about this big half hour spent on the floor. " I remain r...

Anthony Edwards: “I looked at the guy in front of me, and I saw fear in his eyes” | NBA

Anthony Edwards is a good client for the press because of his self-confidence and his enthusiasm. And when he planted 40 points, including 14 in the last quarter, to allow Wolves to win 109-107 in Portland, he let go in press conference. From the first question about his impressions, he throws out this: “ I felt like Black Jesus! Sitting at his side, D'Angelo Russell laughs and passes his turn. His first response sets the tone, and the sequel is not going to disappoint. " I looked at the guy in front of me, and I saw fear in his eyes. There is nothing else to add. Anthony Edwards speaks seriously as D'Angelo Russell holds back a burst of laughter. And when a journalist asks him if he felt the need to take the game on his own, here is what he adds: " Obviously ! When we see tha...

Already in the infirmary, Derrick Jones Jr. is injured in training | NBA

We don't know if it's on one of his overpowered dunks that Derrick Jones Jr has fractured the index finger of his right hand at Bulls practice. Still, it's a new blow for Chicago which recently lost Alex Caruso (wrist) and Lonzo Ball (knee), also to injuries. In the infirmary since January 13 for a period of four to six weeks, Derrick Jones Jr. will have to take his troubles patiently since his absence could now last two months. For now, his index finger will be immobilized in a splint. The franchise, however, has opened up the possibility of having him play with a protective brace and therefore reduce the duration of his unavailability.

Klay Thompson is fine, thank you for him! | NBA

The absences for the matches against Houston and Utah may have caused alarm since Klay Thompson was visibly embarrassed by his left knee, even if the Warriors did not seem very worried. His return against Dallas was therefore reassuring. “I had some pain”, explained the rear in a press conference, decked out in a superb boat captain's cap. “I had a little hyperextension from the game against Indiana and it was painful. The knee was also a bit swollen, and luckily for me the swelling went away quickly. » The triple champion not only reassured physically, playing 26 minutes, but also with his performance on the floor. He made a very clean copy against the Texans with 15 points at 6/12 in shooting and 3/5 at 3-pts, not to mention his 6 assists or his +/- of +26. "I think it was hi...

Collin Sexton back in the playoffs? | NBA

We thought we would not see him again until next season, after his operation for a torn meniscus in his left knee, but Collin Sexton could finally find the floors in the playoffs. As his rehabilitation is going smoothly, the Cavaliers fullback clearly hasn't ruled out the idea of a possible comeback when things get serious. "I'm fine and I'm on schedule", he explains to the Plain Dealer. “I feel good physically and mentally. I'll come back when I'm 100% and my body tells me it's ready. When we are in the playoffs, we will see. Clearly, we'll see then. » However, according to our colleagues, the leaders of the Cavaliers do not expect to see Collin Sexton again this season. The franchise wants to be careful, especially since Cleveland (fifth in the Eastern Conference) is doin...

No All-Star Game for Kevin Durant | NBA

For the third year in a row, the All-Star Game will be without Kevin Durant. Absent in 2020, in full rehabilitation of his Achilles tendon, the Nets winger had withdrawn last season, after being shot in the leg. Rebelote this season since it is his left knee that will prevent him from participating in the all-star game, tells us Yahoo! Sports. Voting leader in the Eastern Conference, Kevin Durant was injured against the Pelicans ten days ago and suffers from a sprained medial collateral ligament. His absence was estimated between four and six weeks, which could suggest a return for the All-Star Game, organized in Cleveland on February 20. But the 2014 MVP has other priorities, that is to say the long term and the playoffs. He prefers to continue to recover well and then attack...

Dallas suffers the resounding awakening of the Warriors attack! | NBA

130 points scored, eight players with 9 or more points, 31 assists, 39.5 percent 3-point success, Golden State popped the 15-game cap in frustration in a display against the in-form team of the moment. Luka Doncic set the tone of the game by scoring 13 of his team's 20 points in the first quarter, but the Mavs struggled to stop an extremely incisive Stephen Curry – Andrew Wiggins pair. Their five lost balls and their clumsiness allow the Warriors to take an 11-point lead (31-20). Tim Hardaway Jr raises Dallas but his injury exit, coupled with a 3/3 from distance from Klay Thompson, followed by a good pass from Jordan Poole put Golden State at +17. It takes the address of Luka Doncic to limit the damage (63-51). The altruism and the address of the Warriors continue to torment Da...
