Maybe the Chicago Bulls should just play the Cleveland Cavaliers 82 times a year?
Stunningly, the Bulls managed to pull off their second straight double-digit defeat of the Cavaliers on Friday night, a 136-125 road victory , behind a fairly balanced, fast-breaking attack. Forward Matas Buzelis and center Nikola Vucevic led the way with 24 points each.

The biggest mistake is likely the one that cost the t...

DFS Picks Week 16 Hey all, and welcome to Week 16! Wow, what a fail last week’s QBs were. While many like Stafford, Allen, and Dart held their own, the model was nowhere near Trevor Lawrence, Bo Nix, or Brock Purdy. This week, the QB situation looks quite complicated. I will highlight the top 4 […]
