Common questions
What does Swish and Net cover?
Basketball in North America as a season structure: the game, the season it sits in and the standings it moves. Leagues and Teams are the registries, Season follows the calendar, Players & movement covers trades and signings, and The game covers tactics and rules.
Are there live scores here?
No. The site carries no live scoreboard or play by play, and a result appears once it has been reported. For a game in progress, the league's own feed is the place to look.
Do you publish odds, picks or fantasy advice?
No. There is no betting content of any kind on the site, and no picks, spreads or fantasy recommendations. Where a projection is mentioned, it belongs to the publication credited with it.
Where do the statistics come from?
From league and team sources and the publications reporting them, credited and linked in each piece. Nothing is compiled here, and a number is only as current as the source it came from.
Are the articles machine-written?
They are written with automated assistance from the source reporting and carry no individual byline, with the source publication credited where an author would sit. Nobody here is presented as a reporter with access to a locker room.
Is the site connected to any league or team?
No. It is independent of the leagues, teams and players it covers, with no accreditation, sponsorship or commercial arrangement.
