Latest blog entries from Los Angeles teams across every league
As Luka Dončić stood at the line to put the finishing touch on his 60-point masterpiece, “MVP!” chants rained down from the stands of the Kaseya Center in Miami. In any situation, a road arena showering praise upon a visiting opponent would be notable. That it came on the same floor Bam Adebayo scored 83 […]
Friend and Predators reporter Alex Daugherty is back to talk about Vladimir Orszagh, a Slovakian import who was undervalued as an Islander but was instrumental to establishing Nashville’s – and Alex’s – love for hockey. The late 1990’s were a terrible time for the Islanders. The loses were many and prospects had little support in […]
Over the past few seasons, the Los Angeles Rams and general manager Les Snead have found a lot of success in the draft. Snead has found key contributors such as Puka Nacua, Byron Young, Jared Verse, and Kobie Turner among other players who have become core pieces to build around. Snead’s ability to draft over […]
We are 27 games into spring training, and the Dodgers have only two more days in Arizona before returning home to Southern California to finish off the exhibition slate against the Angels. After witnessing — either from afar on television/radio, or in person — Dodgers-related things for the last five weeks, let’s look back on […]
Good morning, Chargers fans! You know what to do! And now for today’s links. Chargers News: Here’s why Mel Kiper Jr. paired Clemson DT Peter Woods with the Chargers in his latest mock draft (Chargers.com) How much will Omarion Hampton’s fantasy outlook be affected by Keaton Mitchell? (Chargers Wire) Derwin James will not take part […]
The Los Angeles Rams are apparently all for the idea of allowing a team to trade more draft picks than ever before, which is a current potential rule change that the NFL is discussing, but are you for it? Is this a change you can get behind? I believe right now teams can trade picks […]
Just a few things. Shame shame shame on me for not singing the praises of Kobe Rodgers in my GameCap. My sincerest apologies. Both Coach and players mentioned him the victory’s post game presser. Pointing to the importance of his hugely significant rebound of a Bull miss with 1:25 left and the Cards clinging to […]
Mookie Betts is entering the 2026 season off the heels of a career-worst year offensively and he is determined to get back to his MVP form. Even with all the accolades, of which include winning four World Series titles, he still demands more of himself. That also factors into the way he trains. His teammate, […]
The Miami Heat’s recent seven-game win streak looked like it could’ve been a turning point in the season. However, since then, they have now lost three games in a row— including their most recent 134-126 loss to the visiting Western Conference third seed LA Lakers. Just a week ago, the Heat were as high as […] The post Heat couldn’t stop Luka Doncic in 134-126 loss to Lakers, drop third straight game appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
*The West Coast trip continues, and the Flyers delivered perhaps their most Flyers After Dark performance possible on the way to the shootout win over the Kings last night (or, you know, earlier today). RECAP: [ BSH ] *The Flyers were without Sean Couturier for that one, as he’s out with an upper-body injury. No update yet as far as his timeline is concerned, but that’s something to keep an eye on. [ BSH ] *The Flyers have gotten themselves on a nice little run here, and these are so...
The Flyers closed out their back-to-back tonight in Los Angeles, and despite having to battle through a little bit of fatigue and a whole lot of depletion in their lineup, they were able to deliver a gutsy effort on the way to a shootout win, keeping their desperate push to stay in the playoff race alive. The Basics First period: 19:31- Quinton Byfield (Moore, Laferriere) Second period: :26- Travis Konecny (Ristolainen, Bump), :47- Anze Kopitar (Clarke, Panarin), 4:12- Noah Cates (Mi...
Not all wins are created equal and Thursday’s was no ordinary victory for the Lakers. There’s a level of seriousness that came with that performance that separates good teams from great teams. Everything about this performance screamed schedule loss. The team had an emotional win in Houston just 24 hours earlier. They then flew from […]
The good news for the Houston Rockets is that they can now move on to another opponent after getting swept twice at home by the Los Angeles Lakers. The bad news is that their next opponent, the Atlanta Hawks, have won 11 games in a row and look quite mighty these days. And if you’d […]
A 60-point game from Luka Dončić paired with a triple-double from LeBron James led the Lakers to their eighth straight win on Thursday as they knocked off the Heat in Miami, 134-126. Given the circumstances of it being the second night of a back-to-back and the team not arriving at their hotel until after 5 […]
A season of struggle only gets worse for Sean Couturier, as he’ll miss tonight’s game against the Kings with an undisclosed upper-body injury, according to Rick Tocchet. The Flyers captain has looked a step slower this season, only producing seven goals and 22 points throughout his 66 games, and being relegated to fourth line duties at five-on-five as of late. However, nothing about his performance against Anaheim on the first night of the Flyers’ west coast back-to-back suggested t...
Once more, the Royals are using a split squad this evening. One squad will face a divisional foe in the Cleveland Guardians while the other matches up with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, California, United States of America. Cags is back and will bat sixth while playing in right against L.A. His fellow espresso […]

UPDATE: Impressively and surprisingly, all three of the Lakers’ stars will play on Thursday. Less than 24 hours after battling the Rockets in Houston, LeBron James, Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves are all available for the Lakers against the Heat in Miami. Given both the quick turnaround between games and the distance traveled from Texas […]
If the Los Angeles Rams draft Ty Simpson in the first round for no other reason than he’s considered the best available quarterback, then Les Snead is repeating the same mistake that countless general managers have made since the start of the draft. The Minnesota Vikings made that mistake with J.J. McCarthy two years ago […]
What more can you say about a team that has won back-to-back World Series and are the overwhelming favorites to make it a three-peat? The Dodgers have positioned themselves to become the first team since the turn-of-the-millennium Yankees to win three titles in a row, which would make them just the third team in over […]
The Lakers’ trip to Houston could hardly have gone better. Facing two important games in the playoff race, LA took care of business with a pair of statement victories. In the process of doing so, they also sent Kevin Durant off the deep end in a couple of different ways. First, on Monday, Durant was […]
The Flyers are back in action tonight, looking to close out the back-to-back well and head into the final game of the roadtrip on Saturday on a high note. They’re riding high after a huge win over that budding rival Ducks team, but the next challenge will be to avoid any hangover from that win, as they head to Los Angeles to face off against the Kings. Puck drop: 10:30 p.m. How to watch/listen: 📺: NBCSP 📻: 97.5 The Fanatic Pregame reading Owen Tippett’s been on a t...
These are the good times. The Lakers are coming off a week in which they beat the Nuggets in their first overtime game of the year and won back-to-back contests over the Rockets, earning the tiebreaker and extending their winning streak to seven. LeBron James is playing better than he has all year, Luka Dončić remains dominant and suddenly, […]
There are many stages of grief that a team can go through following the end of their season. It appeared the Los Angeles Rams were stuck in the bargaining phase in February when the team reportedly had two rule changes prepared based on Zach Charbonnet’s clutch two-point conversion in Week 16. Now, though, it seems […]
No one, not even LeBron James, knows whether he’ll play basketball next year or not. But one thing he has consistently said is that he’d be interested in owning an NBA team at some point, specifically in Las Vegas. He said this from the moment he joined the Lakers back in 2018 and LeBron asked […]
