(Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)   The NBA offseason has been tough on many veteran head coaches. We have seen some very good coaches get fired even after taking their teams to the playoffs. One of those teams was the Milwaukee Bucks who fired championship head coach Mike Budenholzer. He led the Bucks to the championship in 2021, and now he is looking for a job two years later. But the Bucks thought they could upgrade at head coach. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Bucks are planning to hire Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin as their head coach.

After winning Games 4 and 5 against the Miami Heat, they’re ready to make another statement as visitors to send the series once again to Boston. Things are already tense for both teams, but the Celtics know the pressure is on the Heat to close this series out. Jaylen Brown sent a clear message to the Celtics ahead of this game, making it clear that the team is ready to get another win and go back home for Monday’s game. "History is at our doorstep, and we gotta respond." Jaylen Brown talks with @TVAbby about the comparisons to the 2004 Red Sox, among other things.

(Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)   The debate among NBA fans about LeBron James and Michael Jordan will continue, perhaps forever. Everyone has an opinion and, since it’s all subjective, a definitive answer will never be found. The latest person to join into this age-old argument is none other than Jordan’s former teammate, Scottie Pippen. Pippen recently gave serious praise to James before criticizing Jordan. “LeBron will be the greatest statistical guy to ever play the game of basketball,” Pippen said. He then went on to lambast Jordan’s career before he played alongside him, saying he was a “horrible player.” “LeBron will be the greatest player statistically to ever play the game. Jordan was a horrible player before I joined the Bulls” – Scottie Pippen pic.twitter.com/RshANm6CCo — Daily Loud (@DailyLoud) May 26, 2023 Although Pippen said that James will go down as the greatest statistical player to ever join the NBA, he wouldn’t say he was the out-and-out be...

Now they have some choices to make in the offseason in order to get back to the NBA Finals. While the thought of trading Stephen Curry or Klay Thompson is still preposterous, there are other players on the roster who could be dealt away. Former Warriors star Gilbert Arenas has an idea. According to NBC news, via NBACentral, Arenas said Golden State should part ways with Jordan Poole for a bigger star. “I’m going to try to move him and maybe if I can move him I can get Jaylen Brown?” Arenas proposed.

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)   The Atlanta Braves squared off with the defending National League champion Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night. The Phillies eliminated the Braves in the NLDS last season. But in a back-and-forth game, Atlanta emerged victorious, winning by a score of 8-5 over the Phils. Leading the way was Austin Riley, who picked up two hits, both of which were towering home runs that traveled at least 455 feet. After the Braves secured their victory, Lauren Gardner of MLB Network got a chance to catch up with Atlanta’s star third baseman, who discussed his epic performance and what it took for him to lead the Braves to a win. "Staying inside myself, not trying to do too much and good things happened."

(Photo by Megan Briggs/Getty Images)   The Boston Celtics have done a great job of getting the fans to believe in them again. They were ready to pack their bags and start their vacations, but they stormed right back to make this a series with back-to-back wins. Even so, they’re still one loss away from going back home empty-handed, and that could lead to a string of major moves, per Colin Cowherd. "This is the year to win it. If you can't get to the Finals, gotta take phone calls." — @ColinCowherd on the pressure on Boston to complete the comeback pic.twitter.com/Yvk3aWsC2U — The Volume (@TheVolumeSports) May 26, 2023 Cowherd believes that the Celtics should start taking phone calls if they don’t make it to the NBA Finals this season, hinting at them potentially breaking up their core once and for all. Notably, this has been a talking point about the Celtics for the past couple of years. It seems like the team cannot get over the hump, especially when it...

(Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)   The NBA recently implemented the coach challenge, taking a page out of the NFL’s book to allow coaches to challenge calls they believe are incorrect. The rule has proven to be successful, and while it might expose the referees — which is something they definitely don’t want happening — it seems like the NBA is looking forward to making it even better for teams. According to Chris Haynes, the NBA is reportedly considering adding a second and final challenge if the first coach challenge proves to be successful. NBA’s Competition Committee is in serious discussions on awarding teams a second and final challenge if first challenge is ruled successful beginning with the 2023-24 season, league sources tell @NBAonTNT , @BleacherReport . — Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) May 26, 2023 Haynes adds that the new rule could be implemented as soon as in the upcoming season, citing that they could make a test run during the 2023-24 NBA Summer Le...
