The Cleveland Cavaliers erased an early 23-point first-quarter deficit, but they weren’t able to complete the comeback. The shorthanded Oklahoma City Thunder, fueled by incredible outside shooting, were able to hand the Cavs their first loss in February. Cleveland fell 121-113. The Cavaliers dug themselves their early hole due to their inability to protect the […]
Through five innings of Saturday’s game with Baylor Purdue’s trip to the prestigious Round Rock Classic looked like it was going to be an 0-fer. The Boilermakers had already lost to Southern Miss on Friday evening and they trailed Baylor 5-0 through six. With No. 12 Oregon State waiting on Sunday an 0-3 trip looked […]

The Lakers have a problem. It’s a LeBron James problem. Well, it’s also a Luka Doncic problem. Really, it’s an Austin Reaves problem, too. When LA’s three best players are on the floor together, they’re a -8.8 net rating. They’ve played just eleven games together and sure, sport an 8-3 record, but at their core, […]

When Mark Walter purchased the Lakers, the franchise moved from the “mom and pop shop” jokes to one of the richest owners in the league. There are plenty of benefits that should come with Walter’s arrival. The front office will be expanding with President of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka already stating they won’t be sparing […]

Well, this is a weird one for me. I’m a film guy, not a cap guy. But I always want to learn more. Over on my Patreon, we have an incredibly smart cap nerd on Discord named James Conklin, aka Jimbo. Jimbo came on the Patreon for a Salary Cap Masterclass, and the show was […]
Kentucky Basketball was walking tall not long ago, winners of seven of eight, and now walks out with a third straight loss that feels like it ripped the air out of the season. Auburn had the building absolutely rocking, but the Cats did not flinch early. Kentucky controlled the first half, closed strong, and went […]

After winning the league’s Sixth Man of the Year award in 2021-22, Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro campaigned to enter the starting lineup heading into his fourth season. “In some way, I would like to start,” he said in June of 2022. “I think it’s my fourth year, so I think I’ve earned it, and […]

Entering the weekend, the Dallas Cowboys announced that the team released veteran linebacker Logan Wilson, which raises the question of whether the Indianapolis Colts could be interested given his clear familiarity with their defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo: Originally a 2020 3rd round draft pick of the Cincinnati Bengals, the 6,2”, 245 pound linebacker played under […]
We’ll start with Sidney Crosby, unable to play today after picking up an injury in the quarterfinals. The picture sums it up, a gutting ending for his 2026 Olympics, and at 38-years old, stands at what very possibly ends up as his final moment on Olympic ice. That’s a tough ending to that chapter. He’ll […]
With any sort of postseason play now a distant memory, the best Dana Altman’s group can do now is make life difficult for those currently fighting for it. Saturday, they did just that, upsetting USC 71-70 at the Galen Center in LA. After a tightly contested game, the Ducks found themselves in a familiar spot, […]
Mir McLean and Saylor Poffenbarger were born in Maryland and developed relationships with Brenda Frese as soon as it became clear they were potential Division I basketball players. For Poffenbarger, that was in middle school. After both initially committing to UConn and playing at an intermediate school in between, their relationship came full circle on […]
It’s easy to sit here right now and say, “What could’ve been?” for a Canadian team stacked with offensive talent, but not enough when it mattered most. After all, that was the difference between a win and a loss on Sunday in the 2026 Olympic gold medal game between the two countries that straddle the…
The Carolina blue skies are a bit clearer and brighter these days now that the Tar Heels have Henri Veesaar back in action. He was instrumental in taking down Syracuse on the road, and if we’re being really honest, they probably don’t win that one without him. The Orange played a bit better than they […]
While every position group on the 2025 Cowboys defense deserved criticism, none got it more than the linebackers. Unsurprisingly, it remains a major focus this offseason. With two of last year’s starters not expected to return, and limited options to replace them, we could see big moves happening both in free agency and with one […]
Well, at least it’s not the Rockies! We will be seeing them again later in the preseason, but for now we move outside of the complex, and welcome the Angels as the first team to visit Salt River Fields this spring. Like the D-backs, they had a bit of a rough day yesterday om their […]
Barcelona are back on top of the La Liga table thanks to a comfortable 3-0 win over Levante at Camp Nou on Sunday, and the standout performer was undoubtedly João Cancelo.
