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 ...

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...

Next night, the 76ers welcome the Kings and Mike Murphy will not be in the bays of the Wells Fargo Center. This fan, although holder of a subscription for the year, has just been banned by the franchise for an indefinite period after his altercation with Carmelo Anthony this week.

The winger had found his behavior unacceptable ». According to ESPN, the person concerned was already known to have repeatedly violated the code of conduct for Sixers supporters. « They did what they had to do. I don't think I need to discuss this situation any further now. We all know ...

Jalen Brunson at a crossroads | NBA

Taking the lead behind Luka Doncic must not be easy and must be accompanied by its share of pressure. Not for Jalen Brunson who quickly knew how to impose his paw on Dallas, following his Draft in 33rd position in 2018, with his style as clean as it is effective. Over the years and opportunities, the son of Rick Bruson has also been able to meet the expectations of his leaders with his regularity, to the point of claiming a big contract at the end of the 2021/22 financial year. Asked by the Bleacher Report, he returned to this evolution which led him to this rather successful first part of the season on a collective and individual level, when he recorded 15.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 31 minutes on average. “Let's say that my expectations have evolved over time.

All-Star Game 2022 | LeBron James and Kevin Durant captains! | NBA

Unsurprisingly, and in the continuity of the final score dating from last week, these are LeBron James (West) and Kevin Durant (East) who finish at the top of the votes aimed at designating the holders of the All-Star Game 2022 (the 71st in history). Therefore, and as in 2021, the Lakers winger and the Nets winger will be the captains of Team LeBron and Team Durant. They will therefore each be able to select the 11 other players who will walk the floor of Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse with them on Sunday, February 20, once the announcement of replacements has fallen next Thursday. “With them”, or almost, since we recall that Kevin Durant will not be able to hold his place in Cleveland, due to his recent knee injury.

Number 1 in the East, the Heat parade but do not ignite | NBA

For the past few days, the Heat have taken control of the Eastern Conference, which makes sense as Erik Spoelstra's players have been solid and consistent since the start of the season. But it's also a scary prospect as Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler missed much of the first half of the season, and it feels like Miami has yet to show their full potential. The franchise still has a few weeks to improve, but obviously they are not sulking their pleasure of being the best team in the East after almost 50 games. "The competition is tough, so it's fun", explains the Heat coach au Sun Sentinel. “You shouldn't be obsessed with the rankings and everyone reminds you that you have to arrive in good health for the playoffs. But when you have six months of the regular season to play, you have...

Nets won’t listen to offers made for James Harden | NBA

James Harden will still have the Nets jersey on his shoulders in two weeks. The day after the denials formulated by the leader of the Nets, Adrian Wojnarowski reports that his franchise does not intend to listen to offers made to recover the bearded man by the transfer deadline of February 10. A decision motivated by the fact that Brooklyn does not think the former Rocket wants to leave. On the contrary, he would continue to express his desire to win a title in Brooklyn. The Sixers, who are talked about a lot because of a potential trade with Ben Simmons, would not have made a concrete offer anyway. Beyond player position, owner Joe Tsai and GM Sean Marks reportedly remain convinced that his association with Kevin Durant and the rarely fielded Kyrie Irving makes the Nets an un...
