New York has been one of the league’s most consistent teams over the past month, while Cleveland’s injuries contributed to a disappointing campaign thus far. This matinee likely comes down to which All-Star, Jalen […]
The New Jersey Devils just aren’t good enough right now. Maybe that’s stating the obvious with the team falling out of a playoff spot and looking listless even over the last two games where they had a number of players return to the lineup. Yet at the same time it has to be said. With […]
I remember 2001 like it was yesterday (the good parts of it, anyway; I have a big blank spot during that day that’s honestly probably for the best).

As a Dallas Mavericks fan, I feel like I’ve had a rough year, from a fan’s perspective. There’s no denying it. When you consider that I’m also a fan of the New York Giants and Manchester United, you’d imagine that I would spend most of my days with a shrink trying to overcome the PTSD […]
Back before the NBA Draft in June, Jordi Fernandez made it known in scouting meetings that he liked the Israeli point guard Ben Saraf. The Nets head coach, an admirer of European basketball and knowledgeable about FIBA talent — having been the head coach of Team Canada, was a strong advocate of the 6’7” (in […]

Dippre, guard Jared Wilson, defensive tackle Khyris Tonga, linebackers Harold Landry III and Robert Spillane, as well as cornerback Carlton Davis III remained sidelined during Christmas Eve’s practice in Foxborough.

As the Macao News reported at the time, Tsai always wanted to make Brooklyn “China’s team.” So far so good. the Nets […]
It doesn’t take a Nobel Prize to be able to deduce that the MLB offseason has the slowest and most brutal pace in all of professional sports. The NBA and NHL have their drafts take place in late June after the conclusion of the postseason, and free agency begins on July 1st. It takes under […]
We’re 10 days away from the Tatsuya Imai posting expiring, and not really much closer to knowing with much confidence (1) the teams seriously making a real push, or (2) the expected price tag. As we saw two years ago with Shota Imanaga (and recently with Munetaka Murakami), the markets for Japanese stars is notoriously difficult to project, and the rumor mill is far more mum than for domestic free agents. It’s just the way these things always go. That said, there are some interesting bits...
