NBA Best Bets of the Day (12/21)
Welcome to Hoops with Noops! I often complain about the lack of NBA basketball on national TV on Thursdays, but I will not be doing that here. Regular season games in December are back with a vengeance. We have eight matchups and all of them feature a team or teams in a bad schedule spot […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s TNT Tuesday, and I’m excited not only for the best studio show in sports, but also some fascinating basketball games. How will a team without its top draft pick play on the road against one of the better teams in the East that’s playing better each night? A star […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! The NBA season rolls along with just a week until the Christmas Day marquee games. As hard as the NFL tries, Christmas is about NBA basketball. The holiday is a great marker in the calendar for teams because they are about 30% through the season and a month away from […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s Friday in the Association and we have eight games, most of which are the second in a two-game series between the same teams. One of the better changes to the NBA schedule was having teams play the same team twice in a row. This helps avoid travel fatigue and […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It should be a TNT Thursday night, but the NBA is afraid of the Thursday night NFL game. I know people are excited to see the Las Vegas Raiders’ third-string quarterback and the Los Angeles Charges’ second-stringer who is named after a hockey stick, but I and others would happily […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! Regular season NBA basketball in December is back! To be clear, that is not a good thing. The NBA In-Season Tournament gave us competitive games, teams without scheduling concerns and star players not resting. Tuesday, things will be much different, with five games, all involving at least one team playing on […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! The NBA In-Season Tournament is over, and regular season basketball is back with a vengeance. We have 13 games Monday, most of them division matchups that give us an opportunity to evaluate games based on how teams played each other earlier in the season. Having a previous game allows […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! One of the best parts of the NBA In-Season Tournament has been the rest it has afforded the rest of the league. The IST knockout rounds have created a two- (or more) day break for the other teams. We’ve seen hardly any resting of stars after these breaks, and the […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops and welcome to Las Vegas for the NBA In-Season Tournament semifinals! This will be the first time playing in Sin City for most players on either team. Until now, there have only been All-Star games or preseason games played in Las Vegas. The league has put together a big night of […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! Night two of the NBA In-Season Tournament quarterfinals starts Tuesday, and night one was fantastic. The Boston Celtics did what they often do in elimination games and lost the game in the second half. Their offense comes to a screeching halt at the end of close games because they don’t […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! We get to start the weekend with a small, but high-quality slate of NBA games Friday. Wednesday and Thursday featured a lot of games, and Saturday will have 12 before most of the league gets a few days off for the NBA In-Season Tournament quarterfinals. Every team gets Sunday off, […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! This is the rare Thursday night when we’re lucky enough to have a huge slate of NBA action. Normally, Thursdays are for a small slate of marquee matchups to be showcased on TNT. To help facilitate rest for the In-Season Tournament, and because of the NBA’s neverending fear of Thursday […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! Tuesday is the final slate of NBA In-Season Tournament group play games, which means there is a lot on the line.

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s the eve of the last night of NBA In-Season Tournament group, so most teams are not playing. This allows them to get at least one night’s rest before their final chance to win their group or grow their point differential in the hopes of making the wild card. […]

Happy Thanksgiving, and welcome to Hoops with Noops! This is my favorite holiday, and it’s not particularly close. I love the meal, I love not having to do much other than help set the table and peel some potatoes, and I love that every NBA team gets a day off to rest their bodies and […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! We’ve got an NBA In-Season Tournament TNT Tuesday night, with several games that will be key in determining who wins their groups or advances to the next round.

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! Happy NBA In-Season Tournament Friday! We’ve got 11 games Friday that all count toward the chance at a bonus payday and trip to Las Vegas for the In-Season Tournament Championship.

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! It’s a two-game Thursday NBA slate, as most teams get a break after a jampacked last few days.

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! Happy In-Season NBA Tournament Monday!

To start, overs have done well, with full game overs going 10-6 […]

Welcome to Hoops with Noops! I know that it’s Thursday, which should mean a TNT Thursday, but unfortunately, we’ll have to tune into NBATV and miss the best studio show in sports.
