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. W...

The MVP of the night | Stephen Curry has found his paw | NBA

Game after game, week after week, Stephen Curry has slipped in the MVP race, and in January he's running 29% from 3-pointers, and he'd just been an awful 3-of-23 from afar in the last two games. of Warriors. But tonight, against Wolves, he regained some of his luster, and he signs one of his most convincing matches for a long time. Alongside his "Splash Brother", he has 29 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, all 50% on shots, with a nice 6 of 10 from 3-point range. Curry had not reached 60% at 3-pointers since November 17! We even had a little unprecedented celebration in the 3rd quarter. As if the interested party needed to free themselves, to relax. “Without Draymond, the rhythm is different in attack and the systems are different” “There are a lot of changes, every game, w...

Kelly Oubre Jr, the human torch of the Hornets | NBA

Forced into solitary confinement on January 10, Kelly Oubre Jr. was obviously not thrilled. But he was all the less so as he was doing well offensively, notably coming out of a match with 32 points, including a very strong 9/14 from 3-pointers in a very offensive victory against Detroit (140-111) . Returning to business a week ago, the Hornets winger had lost his offensive punch with three of his first four return games between 8 and 12 points, and this at a more than questionable address (11/38 on shots) . A record-breaking evening "I'm still trying to find my rhythm", he said the other night in the Charlotte Observer after a night at 1/9 at 3-pointers. “I have to go back to the gym tomorrow and focus on my fundamentals, find the rhythm and get back to the routine I had before b...

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 ...

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.

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...
