How Doncic and Butler are reviving two sleeping giants

For basketball fans of a certain age, there was a particular thrill to watching the Paris Olympics and seeing LeBron James and Steph Curry - the two great lions of this NBA generation at 39 and 36 years old, respectively - lead Team USA to gold. But those feelings of awe and inspiration soon turned to vexation as the NBA season began, and their storied NBA teams continued to stagnate and creep toward irrelevance.At the start of February, Curry's Golden State Warriors were 24-24, outside the play-in picture in a deep Western Conference. LeBron's Los Angeles Lakers were a more respectable 27-19 but with a bottom-10 defense and a negative scoring margin that suggested they were much worse than their record. The two teams clearly needed dramatic shakeups if they were going to make something meaningful out of their all-time greats' precious twilight years. Fortunately for them, a set of unique circumstances presented opportunities for both to do exactly that.Within the week, Luka Doncic was a Laker, and Jimmy Butl

What can we learn from March-April breakouts?

When basketball insider Jon Rothstein officially christens the flipping of the basketball calendar on the first day of March every year, it means different things to two subsets of the sport. The most wonderful time of the year in college hoops coincides with the doggiest dog days of the NBA calendar.In the NBA in March and April, the worst teams are tanking, the best teams are coasting or resting, and every kind of team is simply depleted by injuries. In their attempts to either deliberately lose games, preserve their best players for the postseason, or patch holes in their banged-up rotations, teams will give minutes and touches to guys who wouldn't otherwise be entrusted with that level of responsibility. The result is a whole bunch of ugly games that don't "matter," at least not in the standings or for their predictive value for the playoffs.But the games get played all the same, and the people involved still have to cull some meaning from them. For the players thrust into larger roles, this time of year

4 major observations from the NBA's 1st round

The 2025 playoffs are in full swing, and it's already given us plenty to digest. With each series having completed two games, here are four observations from the first round.Clippers-Nuggets a battle of wills, defensive tacticsThe best series of the opening round has featured two contests decided by a grand total of five points, with each side taking one of them on the strength of a brilliant performance from its unique superstar. Nikola Jokic put up 29 points, nine rebounds, 12 assists, and three steals to lead Denver to a 112-110 overtime win in Game 1. Kawhi Leonard responded with a preposterous shooting display, scoring 39 points on 15-of-19 from the field (with just one of those attempts coming at the rim and five inside the paint) to carry L.A. to a series-tying 105-102 triumph in Game 2.While those two are the series' main characters, the fun of this matchup is seeing how the other pieces on the board interact with and respond to them. For Game 2, the Clippers devised and executed a solid game plan for

The Clippers' depth is overwhelming the paper-thin Nuggets

When Kawhi Leonard and Ivica Zubac checked out with a little over four minutes remaining in the first quarter of Thursday's Game 3, their Los Angeles Clippers trailed the Denver Nuggets 24-19. By the time they checked back in to start the second, the Clippers turned that deficit into a seven-point lead.L.A. finished the opening frame on a 16-4 run despite Nikola Jokic playing the whole quarter for Denver. The Clippers never looked back, running away with a 117-83 win to take a 2-1 lead in the blockbuster first-round series.Leonard was merely very good in the game, as opposed to being a transcendental specter floating above the court and tossing in line-drive middies from the astral plane, like he was in Game 2. He scored 21 points on 20 shooting possessions and dished six assists as the Nuggets shaded aggressive help in his direction. The Clippers still made their opponents look totally overmatched, because everyone around Leonard picked up the slack and because their defense held the league's fourth-ranked o

Damian Lillard's career deserved a better 2nd act

All sports injuries are tough, but some of them feel crueler than others. Watching Damian Lillard crumple to the floor and grab at his heel in Game 4 of his Milwaukee Bucks' first-round series against the Indiana Pacers on Sunday night, knowing what that type of noncontact injury entails, was particularly difficult to stomach. As he was helped off the court, it was hard not to think about everything that led up to that moment.There were all those years Lillard spent trying to lift so-so Trail Blazers teams to a higher purpose, putting up some of the best offensive seasons we've ever seen from a guard and hitting some of the most iconic shots in playoff history. He did this despite never sharing the court with another All-Star teammate after LaMarcus Aldridge left in 2015.There was the 2023 offseason when he finally decided, with his runway as an elite player shrinking, that it was time to maneuver his way to a more competitive situation.Then there was the trade that sent him to Milwaukee, which wasn't his pre
