The Charlotte Hornets may not be quite there, but they have arrived as a winless team in the Eastern Conference. Since the beginning of the 2026 calendar year, the Hornets have posted the fifth-best record in the NBA at 27–12. Their strong performance this year continued on Tuesday, as they swept the Sacramento Kings and demolished them with a 134-90 victory.

Making the jump from bad to good isn’t as easy as the Hornets are making it out to be. But under the tutelage of head coach Charles Lee, they are doing just that. They have made a habit of winning and never let their foot off the gas pedal – which explains their historic average margin of victory this season.

After the game, Lee explained what makes Why the Hornets are so good and why they are so dominant whenever they are on victory lane.

“Every play is meaningful, every possession is meaningful,” Lee said via HornetsReddit.

🎙️ Charles Lee: “Every play is meaningful, every possession is meaningful.”

The Hornets enjoy embarrassing other teams, and this killer mentality of theirs bodes well for their chances of making the jump from good to great in the coming years.

The entire Hornets roster has been purchased

The Hornets have been one of the best teams in the NBA over the past few months, and it’s no coincidence. Lee’s team is playing for each other every single game, and the team is humming as a result.

Charlotte has one of the best starting five players in the association (LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges and Moussa Diabate), and their bench team consists of Ryan Kalkbrenner, Coby White, Zion James, Josh Green and Grant Williams, who are playing their roles in the team.

周六晚上，在 UFC 326 比赛中，两位当代最伟大的拳手在主赛事中展开了对决，马克斯·霍洛威 (Max Holloway) 与查尔斯·奥利维拉 (Charles Oliveira) 拿下了他的 UFC BMF 腰带。尽管处于劣势，巴西人还是轻松击败了夏威夷人，并以压倒性的判定取得了胜利。

在取得巨大胜利后，让我们来看看“Do Bronx”在我们新的 UFC 逐磅排名中的排名。

10.汤姆·阿斯皮诺尔 (15-3)

英国人汤姆·阿斯皮纳尔（Tom Aspinall）是 UFC 中最好的重量级选手。今年早些时候，当 MMA 山羊乔恩·琼斯 (Jon Jones) 决定退出这项运动时，这一消息就正式成为现实。这位英国人在过去三年里击败了该赛区许多最优秀的拳手，是大多数 UFC 粉丝眼中无可争议的顶级大个子。

在彻底为 2024 年夏天 UFC 职业生涯唯一的失利复仇后，他于 10 月首次卫冕无可争议的冠军头衔。不幸的是，仅仅几分钟后，对手 Ciryl Game 的一次令人讨厌的眼神戳就结束了 UFC 321 主赛事。似乎有可能在 2026 年初立即重赛。

9.查尔斯·奥利维拉（36-11）

查尔斯·奥利维拉 (Charles Oliveria) 拥有多项 UFC 记录，并将作为巴西有史以来最伟大的综合格斗选手之一而载入史册。他的战斗风格有很多值得喜爱的地方，他的履历上也写满了重大胜利。但年龄会追赶每个人，这在过去几年里影响了“Do Bronx”，因为他在过去的四场比赛中分崩离析。

由于距离冠军头衔还很遥远，这位前轻量级王者转而选择去追求三月份的 BMF 冠军。在 UFC 326 上，奥利维拉展现了他职业生涯中最好的表现之一，他完全击败了未来的名人堂成员马克斯·霍洛威，赢得了他在公司的第二个冠军。

8. 坎扎特·奇马耶夫 (15-0)

卡姆扎特·奇马耶夫（Khamzat Chimaev）的整个职业生涯绝对是一台破坏机器。在目前的 UFC 比赛中，他很少遇到严重的阻力。在 UFC 319 上，情况再次出现，当时他登上了中量级山顶并击败了德里库斯·杜·普莱西斯 (Dricus Du Plessis)。虽然情况并不总是那么美好，但 UFC 名单上很少有拳击手能像“Borz”那样具有统治力。

7.亚历山大·潘托哈 (30-6)

巴西选手亚历山大·潘托哈 (Alexandre Pantoja) 成为 UFC 蝇量级王者的道路漫长而艰辛。他在该级别苦苦挣扎多年，最终在 UFC 290 上赢得了冠军头衔。在他第一次获得冠军的机会中，他第二次（第三次非官方）战胜了级别之王布兰登·莫雷诺（Brandon Moreno）。

从那以后，他一直是一位统治性的冠军，战胜了布兰登·罗伊瓦尔，并第二次战胜了莫雷诺。然而，他的统治在 UFC 323 上以不公平的方式结束，因为他的肘部非接触式受伤迫使比赛在第一轮提前停止。

6.梅拉布·德瓦利什维利 (21-4)

Merab Dvalishvili 确实是“机器”。他的不懈努力和摔跤使他成为了地球上最好的雏量级选手。如果说在 2024 年他战胜肖恩·奥马利之后还有任何怀疑者的话，那么他在 UFC 316 上以一场更具决定性的复赛胜利让他们闭嘴了。

在那场比赛的后续比赛中，这位冠军在 UFC 320 比赛中与深受粉丝喜爱的科里·桑德哈根 (Cory Sandhagen) 争夺金牌，就像他之前的 13 场比赛一样，他凭借摔跤和有氧运动占据了主导地位。此时此刻，他似乎已经无法阻挡了。

5.彼得·严 (20-5)

三连败让很多人怀疑彼得·严作为雏量级前五的日子是否已经结束。然而，他最近战胜了亚登·宋、德维森·菲格雷多和马库斯·麦吉，帮助他重建了冠军争夺者的地位。在 UFC 323 中赢得冠军头衔。

在与两年前击败他的人的复赛中，这位俄罗斯人展现了自己最伟大的一面，他果断地击败了梅拉布·德瓦利什维利，成为两届最轻量级冠军。 《No Mercy》证明他完全回到了世界精英战士的地位。

4.亚历山大·沃尔卡诺夫斯基（28-4）

亚历山大·沃尔卡诺夫斯基巩固了他作为史上最佳羽量级选手的地位。然而，为了第二个冠军而体重增加以及伊利亚·托普里亚的崛起导致“伟大”队连续三场失利，人们猜测他最好的日子已经过去了。

然而，他从这些挫折中恢复过来，并连续战胜迭戈·洛佩斯，以 145 磅的体重重新确立了自己的统治地位。最近一次是在 UFC 325 比赛中，他在他的同胞面前取得了胜利。虽然他没有获得终点，但他再次证明了自己的水平高于巴西人。

3.亚历克斯·佩雷拉 (12-3)

亚历克斯·佩雷拉 (Alex Pereira) 的 UFC 故事堪称传奇。经过九场比赛后，他成为了两个级别的冠军，并在中量级和轻重量级比赛中击败了这个时代一些最好的拳手。这位 38 岁的选手为该公司带来了启示，并以类似于笼斗偶像费多·埃梅利安科 (Fedor Emelianenko) 的格斗方式与 MMA 粉丝群建立了联系。

在三月份令人沮丧的判定失利后，巴西人在 UFC 320 上复仇归来。他在与马戈梅德·安卡拉耶夫的复赛中冲出了大门，并在短短几分钟内击败了他，重新夺回了分区榜首的位置。

2.伊利亚·托普里亚（17-0）

伊利亚·托普里亚将作为有史以来最伟大的羽量级选手之一而名垂青史。但“斗牛士”并没有在 145 磅的体重基础上再接再厉，而是转向轻量级，寻找历史。好吧，他在六月份实现了这一目标，成为第十位在两个级别赢得金牌的拳手。击败前 155 磅冠军查尔斯·奥利维拉 (Charles Oliveria)，并将他列入传奇人物名单。

1.伊斯兰·马哈乔夫 (28-1)

伊斯兰·马哈切夫凭借对达斯汀·普瓦里尔、亚历山大·沃尔卡诺夫斯基（两次）和查尔斯·奥利维拉的胜利，确立了自己作为 UFC 有史以来最伟大的轻量级选手之一的地位。他不仅是一名占主导地位的格斗选手，而且是这项运动中最被低估的单口比赛之一。

在 UFC 322 上，他在 UFC 历史上留下了自己的一席之地，他的体重得到了提升，成为最新一位赢得两个级别冠军的拳手，并以压倒性优势战胜了杰克·德拉·马达莱纳 (Jack Della Maddalena)，成为新的次中量级国王。

On Saturday night at UFC 326, two of the greatest fighters of their generation went head-to-head in the main event as Max Holloway put his UFC BMF belt on the line against Charles Oliveira. Despite being weakened, the Brazilian easily defeated the Hawaiian and won by a dominant decision.

Following his massive win, take a look at where “Du Bronx” ranks in our new UFC pound-for-pound rankings.

10. Tom Aspinall (15-3)

Englishman Tom Aspinall is the best heavyweight in the UFC. It became official when MMA GOAT Jon Jones decided to step away from the sport earlier this year. The Englishman has defeated many of the best fighters in the division over the past three years and is the undisputed leader in the eyes of most UFC fans.

After definitively avenging the only defeat of his UFC career in the summer of 2024, he made his first defense of the undisputed title in October. Unfortunately, a nasty blow from opponent Cyril Game ended the UFC 321 main event after just a few minutes. An immediate rematch in early 2026 appears likely.

9. Charles Oliveira (36-11)

Charles Oliveria holds several UFC records and is considered one of the greatest Brazilian MMA fighters of all time. There’s a lot to like about his fighting style, and his resume is full of big wins. But age catches up with everyone, and it has taken its toll on “Du Bronx” over the years as he has split his last four fights.

Since he is so far out of the title pictures, the former lightweight king chose to go for the BMF title in March instead. At UFC 326, Oliveira had the best performance of his career, as he completely dominated fellow future Hall of Famer Max Holloway to win his second championship in the company.

8. Khamzat Chimaev (15-0)

Khamzat Chimaev has been an absolute destructive machine throughout his career. He has rarely faced serious resistance during his current UFC run. And that was the case at UFC 319 when he reached the top of the middleweight mountain and defeated Draculas du Plessis. Although it’s not always pretty, few fighters on the UFC roster are as impressive as “Borz.”

7. Alexandre Pantoja (30-6)

Brazil’s Alexandre Pantoja had a long, difficult journey to become the UFC flyweight king. He toiled in the division for several years before finally winning a title fight at UFC 290. In his first opportunity to become champion, he performed well by scoring his second (3rd unofficial) victory over division king Brandon Moreno.

He has been a major champion since picking up a win over Brandon Royval and another win against Moreno. However, his reign came to an unfair end at UFC 323 when the fight had to be stopped early in Round 1 due to a non-contact injury to his elbow.

6. Merab Dvalishvili (21-4)

Merab Davlishvili is truly “The Machine”. His tenacity and wrestling have turned him into one of the best bantamweights on the planet. If there were any doubts after his 2024 win over Sean O’Malley, he silenced them with an even more decisive rematch victory at UFC 316.

Following that fight, the champ put his gold on the line against fan-favorite Cory Sandhagen at UFC 320, and like his previous 13 fights, he dominated with his wrestling and cardio. He seems invincible at this time.

5.Petr Yan (20-5)

The three consecutive losses led many to wonder if Petr Yan’s days as a top five bantamweight were over. However, his recent wins over Yadon Song, Deiveson Figueiredo and Marcus McGhee helped rebuild his title contender status. Earning a title shot at UFC 323.

In a rematch with a man who had defeated him two years earlier, the Russian was the greatest version of himself as he decisively defeated Merab Dvalishvili to become a two-time bantamweight champion. “No Mercy” proved that he is fully back to being an elite fighter in the world.

4. Alexander Volkanovski (28-4)

Alexander Volkanovski has solidified his place as the best featherweight of all time. However, a move up in weight for a second title shot and the rise of Ilya Topuria led to “The Great” suffering three consecutive losses and speculation that his best days were behind him.

However, he has bounced back from those setbacks to establish his dominance at 145 pounds with back-to-back wins over Diego Lopes. Most recently appearing in front of his countrymen at UFC 325. Although he did not get the finish, he once again proved that he is a cut above the Brazilian native.

3. Alex Pereira (12-3)

Alex Pereira’s UFC story is legendary. After nine fights, he became a two-division champion and scored devastating victories over some of the best fighters of the era at middleweight and light heavyweight. The 38-year-old has been a revelation for the company and has connected with the MMA fanbase with a fighting approach similar to cage fighting icon Fedor Emelianenko.

After being on the wrong side of a disappointing decision loss in March, the Brazilian returned with a vengeance at UFC 320. He came out of the gate in his rematch with Magomed Ankalev and blew him away in a matter of minutes to regain his place at the top of the division.

2. Ilya Topuria (17-0)

Ilya Topuria will go down as one of the greatest featherweights of all time. But instead of further enhancing his 145-pound resume, “El Matador” moved to lightweight in search of history. Well, he achieved the feat in June by becoming just the 10th fighter to win gold in two divisions. Crushing former 155 pound champion Charles Oliveria and adding him to his hitlist of veterans.

1. Islam Makhachev (28-1)

Islam Makhachev has solidified his place as one of the greatest UFC lightweights of all time with his wins over Dustin Poirier, Alexander Volkanovski (twice) and Charles Oliveira. Not only is he a dominant wrestler, but he has one of the most underrated standup games in the game.

At UFC 322, he made his mark in UFC history when he moved up in weight and became the latest fighter to win titles in two divisions, as he became the new welterweight king with a dominant win over Jack Della Maddalena.

The Miami Heat delivered another explosive offensive performance Friday night, with Tyler Herro recording a dominant win that later drew praise from the opposing locker room. Herro’s performance showcased Miami’s offensive ability when clicking, and reinforced how difficult the Heat’s perimeter attack can be for opposing defenses to stop.

The Heat defeated the Charlotte Hornets 128-120 on Friday at the Spectrum Center. Herro led the way with 33 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. The guard also knocked down eight triples while controlling the pace throughout the game.

Herro’s offensive impact versus Charlotte’s defense proved decisive late in the game. Miami trailed briefly before closing out strongly in the fourth quarter, as Herro ignited a key run, hitting multiple shots from deep while consistently moving without the ball to create open looks.

After the game, Hornets head coach Charles Lee discussed the defensive challenges created by Herro. Hunter Bailey of the Charlotte Observer shared Lee’s comments after the loss, first on Twitter.

Charles Lee described how the game slipped away in the fourth quarter:

“Defensively, Herro’s off-ball stuff, I thought we could have been a little tougher by staying connected to his body,” Lee said, referencing Miami’s zone defense and Herro’s movement away from the ball.

The former Kentucky Wildcats standout was repeatedly moved into open space, leading to defensive failures and creating scoring opportunities that fueled Miami’s late offensive surge.

Hornets forward Brandon Miller also accepted the challenge of controlling the Heat guard in a video shared after the game r/CharlotteHornets Community on the platform too.

“I feel like Tyler Herro was doing whatever he wanted,” Miller said. “As long as we play with the mentality of not letting everyone come here and feel comfortable, we should win every home game across the spectrum.”

The seven-year veteran’s performance snapped Charlotte’s six-game winning streak and led Miami to another impressive win.

After the Charlotte Hornets extended their winning streak to six with a 118-89 win against the Boston Celtics, head coach Charles Lee may have reminded Philadelphia 76ers fans of his old “trust the process” slogan. Injuries have been a frequent hindrance for the Hornets, limiting their growth in the past. With a young team like Charlotte’s, some parallels can be drawn with the young, promising 76ers of nearly a decade ago.

Lee says health has limited the Hornets’ potential, which is now blossoming this season, amid a team’s playoff potential that has boosted its record over .500 to 32-31, he said, according to Roderick Boone of the Charlotte Observer.

“It’s been good to have a healthy roster,” Lee said. “It’s definitely played a role in some of the changes we’ve made. But I think our guys have embraced the process even more. It started in the offseason. I thought everyone has increased their work habits, their work standards and their togetherness about how we can lift each other up. We’ve come out stronger through all of this.”

For Hornets center Moussa Diabate, beating the Celtics, who are in second place in the Eastern Conference standings, is an impressive feat for a young team, but it is also a testament to how much the Hornets have improved.

“They [Celtics] is a great team, we also believe we are a great team,” Diabate said, per Boone. “At the end of the day, we’re not trying to focus too much on them. Obviously, we want to win the game, but if we focus on what we have to do it will win on its own. For us, that’s a great thing, it’s a good message to the league as well – understand that the Hornets are here.

Amid a six-game winning streak, Charles Lee and the Hornets have won seven of their last 10 games.

ESPN analyst warns about Hornets’ recent surge

One could argue that this is the most exciting time to be a Hornets fan since the 1990s, as head coach Charles Lee has led his team to a 32-31 record, which few expected ahead of the 2025-26 campaign. With only 19 games left in the regular season, the Hornets are moving at an ideal time, which could make them a tough first round opponent In the playoffs, as Alan Hahn reported on ESPN’s Get Up.

“There’s a dragon slayer hiding in plain sight. They’re in the play-ins right now. They’re seeded 9th. They’re finally at .500 for the first time, I think, since Grandmama and Muggy Boggs. We haven’t seen them play like this for a long time, but they’re that team with this offense, and a defense, by the way, that’s in the top 3 these 20 games,” Hahn said.

The Hornets’ well-balanced attack on both ends of the floor makes them a tough matchup for the top Eastern Conference teams.

“Not only are they playing great offense, they’re playing great defense,” Hahn said. “They’re the team that, if you’re a contender, if you’re a higher seed, No. 1, No. 2, or No. 3, and you have to face them in the first round, you don’t want to do that because they’re unknowns and they can play free as well.”

The Hornets will look to extend their winning streak to seven when they host the Heat on Friday.

夏洛特黄蜂队以 118-89 战胜波士顿凯尔特人队，将连胜纪录扩大到六连胜，主教练查尔斯·李可能提醒费城 76 人队球迷记住他们古老的“相信过程”口号。伤病一直是黄蜂队的一个障碍，这限制了他们过去的成长。拥有像夏洛特这样年轻的球队，人们可以与近十年前年轻、有前途的 76 人队有一些相似之处。

据《夏洛特观察家报》的罗德里克·布恩报道，李表示，健康状况限制了黄蜂队的潜力，而黄蜂队的季后赛潜力已将其战绩从 0.500 提高至 32 胜 31 负，而黄蜂队本赛季的潜力正在蓬勃发展。

“拥有一支健康的阵容真是太酷了，”李说。 “这肯定影响了我们正在进行的一些转变。但我认为我们的球员更加接受了这个过程。它从休赛期开始。我认为每个人都提高了他们的工作习惯，他们的工作标准，以及我们如何互相提升的团结精神。通过这一切，我们变得更加强大。”

对于黄蜂队中锋穆萨·迪亚巴特来说，击败东部积分榜第二的凯尔特人队对于一支年轻球队来说是一项令人印象深刻的成就，但这也证明了黄蜂队已经取得了多大的进步。

“他们 [Celtics] 迪亚巴特说：“我们是一支伟大的球队，我们也相信我们是一支伟大的球队。归根结底，我们并不想过多关注他们。”显然，我们想赢得比赛，但如果我们专注于我们必须做的事情，事情就会自然而然地发生。对我们来说，这是一件伟大的事情，这对联盟来说也是一个伟大的信息——了解黄蜂队在这里。”

在六连胜中，查尔斯·李和黄蜂队在过去的 10 场比赛中赢了 7 场。

ESPN分析师对黄蜂队近期飙升的警告

有人可能会说，这是自 1990 年代以来黄蜂队球迷最激动人心的时刻，因为主教练查尔斯·李带领球队取得了 32 胜 31 负的战绩，这在 2025-26 赛季之前很少有人预料到。常规赛还剩 19 场比赛，黄蜂队正处于理想的时机，这可能会让他们成为 第一轮强硬的对手 正如艾伦·哈恩 (Alan Hahn) 在 ESPN 的《Get Up》中指出的那样，在季后赛中。

“屠龙者隐藏在众目睽睽之下。他们现在正在参加入围赛。他们是 9 号种子。我想，自奶奶和 Muggsy Bogues 以来，他们终于第一次达到 0.500 分了。我们已经很久没有看到他们这样打球了，但他们就是那支拥有这种进攻和防守的球队，顺便说一句，在这 20 场比赛中，他们是前三名，”哈恩说道。

黄蜂队在攻防两端均衡的进攻使他们成为东部顶级球队的艰难对手。

“他们不仅进攻出色，防守也出色，”哈恩补充道。 “他们是这样的球队，如果你是一支竞争者，如果你是一个高种子，一号、二号或三号，而你必须在第一轮面对他们，你就不想面对他们，因为他们是未知的，他们也可以自由发挥。”

黄蜂队希望在周五主场迎战热火队时将连胜扩大到七场。

The Charlotte Hornets are officially one of the hottest teams in the NBA, and head coach Charles Lee believes the looming trade deadline is a major reason why. After Wednesday night’s impressive 118-89 win over the Boston Celtics, Lee praised guard Coby White, calling him a “battle-tested” veteran who has turned the team around.

“He adds a lot to our environment and our product on the court,” Lee said of White. With the win the Hornets moved to 32–31, the first time they have sat above the .500 mark since late October. This extended their current winning streak to six games, a stretch where Charlotte has boasted one of the most efficient offenses in the league.

🎙️ Charles Lee on Coby White: “He adds a lot to our environment and our product on the court.”

“We have a very deep team, but there’s something about having a guy like that who is battle-tested, a high-level thinker and has been through a lot of experiences as a basketball player.”… pic.twitter.com/WsJ9sYnhqC

– r/CharlotteHornets (@HornetsReddit) 5 March 2026

White was surgically efficient against the Celtics at TD Garden, finishing with 17 points and six assists while shooting an impressive 6-of-9 from the field in just 20 minutes of action. His ability to stabilize the second unit and provide clutch scoring punch has provided Lee with a luxury the Hornets have lacked in recent seasons.

Lee said having a high-level thinker like White makes it easier for him to put the ball in his hands at the end of quarters so the team can get quality shots.

The blowout featured a balanced attack as rookie Con Knueppel led all Charlotte scorers with 20 points. Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball each scored 18 points, while the defense held a powerful Boston team to just 89 points.

For a team that was struggling to stay in the play-in race a month ago, the addition of White along with stars like Ball and Miller has created a tremendous rotation. As the Hornets head toward the postseason, their new “battle-tested” creator appears to be just what the doctor ordered.

The fog of speculation surrounding UFC’s historic event on June 14 at the White House may have cleared after a big update from former champion Charles Oliveira. While rumors recently swirled about an interim heavyweight title match between Alex Pereira and Cyril Gane, Oliveira has dismissed those reports.

Speaking via RMC Sport Combat, the Brazilian legend claimed Pereira is not looking to make gains but is instead lining up a “very big fight” on the South Lawn. This revelation has immediately rekindled the MMA world’s collective hope for a superfight between Pereira and Jon Jones.

The momentum for this potential clash reached a fever pitch last week when Dana White officially announced that Alex Pereira has vacated his Light Heavyweight Championship. The move – a “gentleman’s release” to allow Jiri Prochazka and Carlos Ulberg to fight for the vacant belt at UFC 327 – signals that Pereira’s focus has shifted solely to the heavyweight division.

As a former middleweight and light heavyweight champion, Pereira is now on the verge of making history as the first fighter to win UFC titles in three different weight classes. While an interim belt against Gane would technically satisfy that requirement, it lacks a bout with Jones, the man many consider the greatest of all-time.

The Los Angeles Lakers are under the microscope again, but Charles Barkley has officially seen enough. The Hall of Famer and ESPN analyst delivered a scathing criticism of Lakeshow during a recent broadcast that has become a topic of discussion on social media.

Barkley’s main complaint? He is tired of the “contender” label constantly being placed on a team that, in his eyes, is not good enough. “I’m bored of guys who talk about how they’re contenders,” Barkley said. “The Lakers are not a good team. They’re not athletic, they’re not good defensively. I think we’re contractually obligated to talk about them every day.”

“I’m tired of people saying they’re contenders… The Lakers are not a good team. I think it’s funny how the media has written off Luka [Doncic]…I think we’re contractually obligated to talk about them every day.”

– Charles Barkley 🗣️pic.twitter.com/Bi0q2tu1sh

– ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) 1 March 2026

“Chuckster” also turned his attention to superstar Luka Doncic. While the media honeymoon phase with the Slovenian guard appears to be cooling off, Barkley took it a step further, joking that the Lakers are essentially “tanking” right now. He even suggested that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver should issue a fine due to his recent decline.

The numbers aren’t exactly silencing the critics. The Lakers have now lost three straight games, following a close 113-110 loss to a Phoenix Suns team playing without Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks. Despite the team’s struggles, Luka Doncic did his best to carry the load against Phoenix, putting up a big stat line of 41 points on 12-of-21 shooting, along with eight rebounds and eight assists.

Currently sitting at 34-24 and the 6th seed in the Western Conference, the Lakers find themselves closer to the play-in tournament than the top spot. There are still 24 matches left, the pressure is increasing. If the Lakers want to prove Barkley wrong and stop the “tanking” narrative, they are going to have to find some defensive identity, and fast.

查尔斯·巴克利从来都不是一个咬紧牙关的人，而且他现在也不打算开始，尤其是在涉及 NBA 价值 760 亿美元的新媒体版权协议时。最近出现在 ESPN 节目中 请原谅打扰这位名人堂成员放任不管，指责联盟创造了支离破碎的观看体验，让球迷们摸不着头脑。

“球迷现在很难找到比赛，”巴克利告诉迈克尔·威尔本和托尼·科恩海塞尔。 “我认为我们对球迷和比赛造成了伤害。我们必须找到一种方法让球迷知道……但人们甚至不知道比赛何时在 NBC 上播出、何时在 Peacock 上播出、他们不知道比赛何时在亚马逊上播出。”

– 可怕的宣布（@awfulannouncing） 2026 年 2 月 27 日

2025-26 赛季推出了令人眼花缭乱的时间表，全国转播权由华特迪士尼公司、NBCUniversal 和 Amazon Prime Video 分割。虽然联盟获得了巨额发薪日，但“我在哪里观看这个？”对于沮丧的球迷来说，这个问题已经成为每晚的仪式。

以周四晚上在 Intuit Dome 发生的冲突为例。明尼苏达森林狼队在防守上以 94-88 战胜了人手不足的洛杉矶快船队。安东尼·爱德华兹本赛季场均贡献29.6分，带领森林狼队将战绩提高到36胜23负。与此同时，快船队在科怀·伦纳德和达柳斯·加兰缺阵的情况下，战绩下滑至27胜30负。

对于想要观看西部决赛的球迷来说，寻找合适的应用程序或频道通常需要比第一季度更长的时间。巴克利的观点很简单：如果联盟让收视变得如此困难，他们就有可能完全失去普通观众。

随着 NBA 进一步迈入数字化时代，联盟必须找到更好的方式来引导观众。

Charles Barkley has never been one to bite his tongue, and he’s not about to start now, especially when it comes to the NBA’s new $76 billion media rights deal. During a recent appearance on ESPN sorry for the interruptionThe Hall of Famer criticized it and called out the league for creating a fragmented viewing experience that left fans scratching their heads.

Barkley, who recently joined the ESPN team along with the rest of the inside the nba Crews echoed the sentiment that has been emerging on social media throughout the season.

“It’s very difficult for fans to find games now,” Barkley told Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser. “I think we’ve done a disservice to the fans and to the game.

The 2025–26 season introduced a rotating schedule that split national broadcasts between The Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal, and Amazon Prime Video. While the league received massive payouts, the question “Where do I see it?” The question has become a nightly ritual for frustrated fans.

Take, for example, the clash at the Intuit Dome Thursday night. The Minnesota Timberwolves handled the shorthanded Los Angeles Clippers in a 94-88 defensive grind. Anthony Edwards, who is averaging 29.6 points per game this season, led the way and the Timberwolves improved to 36–23. Meanwhile, the Clippers, playing without Kawhi Leonard and Darius Garland, slipped to 27-30.

For fans trying to watch that famous Western Conference matchup, finding the right app or channel often takes longer than the first quarter. Barkley’s point is simple: If the league makes it harder to tune in, they risk losing the casual viewer entirely.

As the NBA moves into this digital-first era, the league must find a better way to guide its viewers.

对于萨克拉门托国王队来说，这是一个艰难的赛季，即使按照他们的标准也是如此。

周六以 139-122 输给圣安东尼奥马刺队后，国王队在过去一个多月的时间里连续 16 场比赛未尝一胜。还有查尔斯·巴克利，他总是敢于说出自己的想法 不会阻止 当批评萨克拉门托队糟糕的表现时，无论是15连胜还是16连胜。

“你不可能连续与 15 支强队交手……来吧，伙计，”巴克利通过 ClutchPoints 的布雷特·西格尔在“Inside the NBA”节目中说道。 “这些球队在这里做着哈莱姆环球旅行者的事情（对阵他们）。来吧，伙计。这些家伙在这里做着环球旅行者的事情。”

确实，国王队还没有连续 15 次（或者现在是 16 次）与好球队交手。事实上，在输给马刺队和奥兰多魔术队之前，萨克拉门托队曾对阵过新奥尔良鹈鹕队和犹他爵士队，这两支球队都更接近于争夺状元签而不是季后赛席位。尽管犹他州和新奥尔良队分别拥有西部第三和第二差的战绩，但结果却是两场井喷。

2月9日，鹈鹕队以120-94击败国王队。两天后，萨克拉门托同样以 121-93 输给了爵士队。在这次连败的过程中，国王队没有与任何一支球队交手超过一次，这意味着他们在一个多月的时间里输给了超过一半的NBA球队。

当然，这对于今年拥有自己首轮选秀权的萨克拉门托来说是可以接受的。如果没有，过去几周因手术而失去三名球员——扎克·拉文、多曼塔斯·萨博尼斯和德安德烈·亨特——绝对是最糟糕的消息。但对于国王队来说，这只会进一步巩固他们在 NBA 选秀乐透中的最佳赔率之一。

国王队最近创造了球队历史上最长连败的新纪录，周一晚上他们将在五场客场之旅中对阵孟菲斯灰熊队，他们可能会继续保持这一纪录。

It’s been a tough season for the Sacramento Kings, even by their standards.

Coming off a 139-122 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday, the Kings have been winless in their last 16 games spanning more than a month. And Charles Barkley, of course, for always speaking his mind. there was no going back When criticizing Sacramento’s terrible play, whether it was 15 or 16 in a row.

“You can’t play 15 good teams in a row… Come on, man,” Barkley said on ‘Inside the NBA’ via Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. “These teams are doing things like the Harlem Globetrotters here (against them). Come on, man. These guys are doing things like the Globetrotters here.”

It’s certainly true that the Kings haven’t played 15 — or now 16 — good teams in a row. In fact, before losing to the Spurs and Orlando Magic, Sacramento played the New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz, both of whom are much closer to competing for the first overall pick than a playoff spot. Despite Utah and New Orleans having the third and second worst records, respectively, in the Western Conference, the result was a pair of blowouts.

On February 9, the Pelicans defeated the Kings 120–94. Two days later, Sacramento also lost to the Jazz, 121–93. During this losing streak, the Kings have not played any team more than once, meaning they have lost to more than half the NBA in a little over a month.

Of course, that’s acceptable for Sacramento, which has its first-round draft pick this year. If that doesn’t happen, losing three players – Zach LaVine, Domantas Sabonis and De’Andre Hunter – to season-ending surgeries in the last few weeks would be the worst news. But for the Kings, it only solidifies that they will have the best chances in the NBA Draft Lottery.

The Kings, who recently set a new record for the longest losing streak in franchise history, can add to that tally on Monday evening when they play the Memphis Grizzlies as part of a five-game road trip.

NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley is no longer backing the New York Knicks to win the Eastern Conference, shifting his support to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

During ESPN’s Inside the NBA broadcast on Friday night, Barkley announced he was no longer choosing New York over coming out of the East.

“I’m changing my choice Ernie. I told you all I thought the Knicks were coming from the East… the Cleveland Cavaliers are coming from the Eastern Conference,” Barkley said.

Cleveland has improved its position after trading with the Los Angeles Clippers to acquire James Harden in exchange for Darius Garland at this season’s deadline. The Cavaliers extended their winning streak to seven games with a 118-113 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday night, improving to 36-21 on the season. Cleveland is now in third place in the Eastern Conference, just one game behind the second-seeded Boston Celtics.

Since arriving in Cleveland, Harden has averaged 18.4 points, 8.6 assists, five rebounds and one steal per game, while shooting 49.1 percent from the field and 48.1 percent from three-point range in five contests in 31.8 minutes per game.

Charles Barkley moves East pick as Cavaliers lead ahead of Knicks matchup

Harden’s presence coincides with increased production from center Jarrett Allen. Over that same five-game span, Allen has averaged 22.6 points, 11.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists and one block while shooting 76.3 percent from the field in 30 minutes per contest. For the season, the 27-year-old is averaging 14.9 points and 8.4 rebounds while shooting 62.7 percent in 45 games.

Meanwhile, New York has experienced a strong stretch of its own despite Barkley’s transfer. The Knicks went 10–3 from late January to early February, including an eight-game winning streak. However, they dropped to the fourth seed after a 126–111 loss to the NBA-leading Detroit Pistons, falling to 35–21 on the year.

The two Eastern Conference contenders are scheduled to meet during New York’s upcoming three-game road trip. The Knicks visit Cleveland next Tuesday at 7:30 PM ET on Peacock.

With the Cavaliers gaining momentum and climbing the standings, Barkley’s revised prediction underscores how rapidly the Eastern Conference hierarchy has shifted in the weeks since the trade deadline.

inside the nba Host Charles Barkley was not impressed with the Los Angeles Lakers after their 125–122 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. On Saturday morning’s edition of Inside the NBA after the game, Barkley reiterated his old view that the Lakers are not championship contenders and that they will not beat the Thunder and other top teams in the West.

“It depends on the seeding because if they’re six, seven or eight and they have to play Denver, Houston or OKC, they’re not going to be able to beat those teams. I’m not even sure they can beat San Antonio,” Barkley said.

Even before Doncic was traded to the Lakers, the Pro Basketball Hall of Famer turned studio analyst remained consistent in his sentiments regarding the Lakers. He never saw the Lakers as a true contender and his doubts continued throughout the season.

But yesterday the moment was different. As Lakers guard, Austin Reaves, waited to be interviewed by the Inside the NBA crew, he had the headset on as Barkley talked about his team’s prospects. Ernie Johnson asked if Reeves had heard the conversation.

Reeves replied, “Yeah, I heard a little bit. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion.”

Currently, the Lakers are the fifth seed in the Western Conference after the All-Star break. They are one game ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves and three games ahead of the seventh-seeded Phoenix Suns in the loss column.

This season, the Lakers have wins over Minnesota and San Antonio as well as a Denver team without Nikola Jokic. So far, they have not been able to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder, and the Spurs have beaten them three times since their November 5 win.

But the Lakers are on a two-game winning streak and will host the Boston Celtics on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast on NBC and Peacock.

On Friday, NBA legend Charles Barkley turned 63. The vocal “Round Mound of Rebound” received a lot of love.

Throughout the day, Barkley received several birthday messages. The first to celebrate was his 1992 Dream Team teammate, Magic Johnson.

“Happy Birthday to my good friend and dream teammate Charles Barkley! He’s the funniest guy on TV!” Johnson posted on Twitter, ex.

Of course, Barclay is full of hyperbole. Radical, controversial, beloved, unapologetic and iconic. He was like that both on and off the court. On the court, Barkley was one of the defining players of his generation. Although he never won an NBA title, he mesmerized fans and contemporaries alike with explosive toughness.

He was a 5-time NBA All-Star, 1993 NBA MVP, 1988 rebounding champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, Hall of Famer, and on the NBA 75th Anniversary Team.

Off the court, Barkley lets loose, especially when he’s calling NBA and NCAA basketball on television. Besides, he’s not afraid Venture into politics and social issues.

At 63, Sir Charles remains an undeniable icon that never ages.

Charlotte Hornets head coach Charles Lee discussed LaMelo Ball’s recent car accident ahead of Thursday’s game against the Houston Rockets. Fortunately, Ball and no one else were injured in the car accident, which was of most importance to the Hornets head coach.

Lee addressed Ball’s car accident during his Pregame media availability.

“The first thing you do when you hear about any type of accident is you hope that all parties involved are okay, that they’re healthy and safe,” Lee said. “So, he felt good today, ready to go, and he’ll be ready to play tonight.”

Ball and the Hornets entered the All-Star break winning nine of their last 10 games and improving to 26–29, the ninth-best record in the Eastern Conference standings. Ball has scored 20+ points in four of his last five games, including a 24-point performance in the Hornets’ 110–107 win against the Hawks, which snapped a nine-game winning streak.

蒂里科對喬丹的電視作品感到自豪

邁克爾·喬丹 (Michael Jordan) 已經 23 年沒有出現在 NBC 節目中了。

本賽季，這位 NBA 歷史上最偉大的球員通過長時間的靜坐採訪重返網絡，該採訪在 2025-26 賽季的各個片段中進行了播出。

一些球迷已經吸收了 Air Jordan 的罕見洞察力，他在芝加哥公牛隊王朝期間在 NBA 總決賽中取得了 6-0 的成績，但二十年來沒有公開評論過現代籃球運動的狀況。

包括 ESPN 的查爾斯·巴克利在內的批評者猛烈抨擊 NBC 處理喬丹的方式。

“我們需要邁克爾·喬丹加入NBA，但現在你看到NBC報導了這件事，你會想，‘等等，你們都做了一次採訪，就像五個月前一樣，你們會在整個賽季都進行採訪嗎？來吧，伙計，’”巴克利最近在Sirius XM上說道。

“NBC 的做法很不誠實。聽著，這太瘋狂了，伙計。我對結果感到失望。”

Tirico 的看法截然不同，並解釋了為什麼這位 62 歲老人的任何籃球見解對於 2026 年的球迷來說都是一種特權。

雖然米勒連續第二個賽季場均得分超過20分，但他本賽季37.7%的三分命中率和0.9次蓋帽都是職業生涯最好的。

週三晚上，菲尼克斯太陽隊在主場險勝布魯克林籃網隊，將 2025-26 NBA 賽季的戰績提升至 28 勝 19 負。太陽隊可以說是今年 NBA 最令人驚訝的球隊，儘管在休賽期交易了凱文·杜蘭特，但他們還是向前邁出了一大步。

太陽隊如此出色的一個重要原因是狄龍·布魯克斯的表現，他是NBA的長期對手，在沙漠的第一年就打出了職業生涯的數據。

近日，前太陽隊傳奇人物查爾斯·巴克利透露，他投票選擇布魯克斯入選今年的全明星陣容。

“我把狄龍·布魯克斯 [on my all-star reserves team]……我想我們可能會在明天宣布，”巴克利在 X（前身為 Twitter）上接受 SiriusXM NBA 廣播電台採訪時說道。

巴克利隨後將布魯克斯與另一位即將進入名人堂的 NBA 執法者進行了比較。

“他和德雷蒙德所做的事情有什麼不同？狄龍布魯克斯為菲尼克斯太陽隊所做的事情與德雷蒙德在勇士隊的表現相似，而且他就像第三位或第四位全明星球員，”巴克利說。

總的來說，很少有人能看到布魯克斯今年能做出這樣的作品。這位小前鋒場均得分超過 20 分，增加了運球投籃和創造自己進攻的能力，同時仍然是一名精英定點射手和球場另一端的鎖定防守者。

布魯克斯的堅韌也感染了他的太陽隊隊友，他們正在玩著過去幾年杜蘭特實驗失敗時從未有過的火焰。

目前，太陽隊有機會躋身西部前六，而布魯克斯無疑是最大的原因。

可以肯定地說，查爾斯·巴克利對 ESPN 並不滿意。

這位 62 歲的老人在整個職業生涯中一直直言不諱，但在 NBA 從 TNT 轉投 ESPN 的過程中，巴克利的挫敗感似乎達到了沸點。

在丹·勒巴塔德秀 (The Dan Le Batard Show) 客串節目中，巴克利向該電視網開火，因為他們決定不再像 TNT 過去幾年那樣定期使用 Inside the NBA 工作人員。

“我們抱怨過，我們三個月內只上過 ESPN 四次，” 巴克利告訴《勒巴塔德》。

“我一點也不喜歡這樣。我一直在談論工作，因為我喜歡看籃球——我不會做所有這些該死的節目。

”我不會出現在 ESPN 一、二、三、驅逐頻道上 納喬，迴聲，不管他們怎麼稱呼它。我不會做所有這些，但我希望我們在賽季上半段做得更多。 ”

巴克利還開玩笑說，他之前曾說過，在轉入ESPN後，他不想讓ESPN“過度勞累”。

現在看來，他覺得自己工作不足。

“他們將開始彌補一些日子，”巴克利補充道。 “但我們 12 月只工作了一天，那就是 聖誕節 天。

西雅圖海鷹隊即將踏上季后賽之旅，他們希望這場季后賽之旅能夠持續得更久，而不僅僅是一場比賽。

在第一輪外卡輪空後，薩姆·達諾德和他的隊友將於本週六在西雅圖的流明球場迎戰飽經風霜但仍然危險的舊金山 49 人隊，他們需要所有人齊心協力來處理事務。

根據西雅圖最新的官方傷病報告，左截鋒查爾斯·克羅斯預計將成為這場比賽的首發球員之一，因為他週四剛剛升級為海鷹隊的正式訓練人員。

克羅斯在周二進行了全面訓練，週三由於腿筋和膝蓋問題進行了有限的訓練。然而，週四他沒有受到任何訓練限制，這表明他已經全力以赴參加備受期待的對陣九人隊的比賽。

克羅斯的存在受到西雅圖隊的高度重視，因為他是 2025 NFL 賽季球隊頂級進攻鋒線球員之一。 25 歲的克羅斯本賽季的《Pro Football Focus》總體評分為 73.2。他的傳球攔截評分為76.9，在89次攔截中排名第19。根據他在跑壘方面的 66.7 分，他在跑壘方面也不算太差。

克羅斯在 2025 年 NFL 常規賽中打了 14 場比賽，他缺席的一場比賽是第 18 週 13-3 戰勝 49 人隊的比賽。他在西雅圖第一周以 17-13 主場輸給 49 人隊的比賽中見證了這一幕，達諾德傳球 150 碼，零達陣，但僅被擒殺一次，且零攔截。
