Since free agency officially started Monday, the NBA has been on fire as new title contenders are emerging along with some big market teams putting themselves in interesting positions. The NBA Draft has concluded and the league’s most recent dynasty is staying committed to young talent rather than making a big time trade.

Justin gives his prediction for how the top 10 picks of the NBA draft will happen Thursday night. NBA coaching carousel is complete and the Celtics are trending up, but what about the Mavericks?

The Milwaukee Bucks win its first NBA Championship since 1971 and now Giannis Antetokounmpo has earned his spot at the top of the NBA hierarchy. Team USA plays its first legitimate Olympic game in Tokyo this weekend and there is no reason to panic after losing its first two exhibitions.

The Conference Finals are set and the two favorites in the East are out after game 7 collapses. The Suns look like the hottest team in basketball even without Chris Paul as Devin Booker is emerging as a superstar. All-NBA teams are out and it’s time for paydays to stop being relied on media votes.

Second round madness is not disappointing in the NBA Playoffs. Phoenix rises as the favorites to win it all after sweeping the MVP, Brooklyn in big trouble after losing another star. The 76ers look dominant and hope to go up 3-1 in Atlanta and the Clippers show they are too talented for the Jazz through three games despite being down in the series.

After a wild seven game series, is it finally time for the Clippers to break through in the Western Conference? The 2018 draft day trade between the Mavericks and Hawks is the most balanced trade in NBA history. Second round playoff preview and predictions.

Boston announces Danny Ainge is out and Brad Stevens is moving from Head Coach to the President of Basketball Operations. Joel Embiid suffers another big injury at the wrong time, what does it mean for Philly’s playoff hopes? Round 1 is heating up and the playoffs are wide open.

The NBA play-in tournament is here and Justin has his predictions and what the games mean for potential playoff matchups. Every player has made their case for MVP and Justin has his winner and those who are in the conversation.

As a noted LeBron James supporter, Justin comes out against the King and criticises how he is viewing this NBA season after speaking out against the play-in tournament. The Nets fell to the Bucks in a potential playoff preview and it proves that Brooklyn is not unstoppable. Russell Westbrook continues to make history and Luka Doncic earns Ope of the Week honors with his 15th technical foul of the season, one shy of a one-game suspension.

Russell Westbrook is constantly one of the most disrespected players in the NBA, but he is set on proving everyone wrong once again this season with records in sight. The addition of Chris Paul has turned the Suns into a legit contender and Julius Randle is turning the Knicks into a prime destination.
