In Today’s Links: Seaside Joe takes a look at the monolith that is becoming Bryon Murphy, a bit on the sale of our beloved Seattle Seahawks, a look down the road at our squad’s 2026 draft class, and a dash more. Happy Thursday. Go, ‘Hawks! #np Better Git It In Your Soul by Charles Mingus […]
Arguably the biggest story in sports in recent days came in the NBA. On Monday night, the San Antonio Spurs beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. A large reason — literally and figuratively — for the victory was San Antonio’s star Victor Wembanyama. The man known “Wemby” scored […]
Before the Dallas Mavericks announced the hiring of team president Masai Ujiri, very little had been reported on the search. Every couple months between the November firing of Nico Harrison and this month’s hiring, there would be a sprinkle of insight into team governor Patrick Dumont’s thinking. The team made it clear that they would […]
Honestly, the fact that San Antonio lost ranks fourth or fifth on my list of most troubling facts about last night’s game. By far the most serious issue is Dylan Harper’s injury, as he has been absolutely essential in this playoff run and clearly the second-best Spur in the series so far. The second most […]
When Donnie Nelson was fired in 2021, and Rick Carlisle stepped down shortly after, no one argued whether or not this was the correct decision. Nelson had failed to put together a functional roster, and Carlisle’s relationship with Luka Doncic grew sour. The question revolved around who they hired to replace them. And, as history […]
It’s been almost a week since the Minnesota Timberwolves season came to a flaming end. Though the final on the court memory of the Wolves was them getting smacked with eight minutes of garbage time left, there were still plenty of good parts to the journey. Let’s not lose sight of all that. So let’s […]

Last summer Tommy Lloyd had never made a Final Four, Chip Hale was coming off a trip to the College World Series, Brent Brennan was an embattled football coach, Caitlin Lowe’s team had fallen in the regional after a very successful debut season in the Big 12 and Becky Burke was trying to assemble a […]
Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been left out of Germany’s squad for World Cup 2026 which has been announced by manager Julian Nagelsmann. The decision is another blow to the goalkeeper but is not a big surprise. Ter Stegen moved to Girona on loan in January in a bid to play regularly but then suffered a […]
The 2026 NBA Draft Combine was held from May 10-17 in Chicago with the Washington Wizards being the center of attention. Obviously, when Washington has the No. 1 pick, that is to be expected. However, in the last week, we have heard rumblings of the Utah Jazz looking to trade up to No. 1. The […]
The Oklahoma City Thunder evened the Western Conference Finals Wednesday evening with a 122-113 win. The series is now tied 1-1 Jared McCain came off the bench to score 12 points, hitting 4-14 overall and 3-9 from behind the three-point line. Mason Plumlee did not get off the bench for San Antonio. Victor Wembanya continues […]
There are several commodities that NBA teams value. Shooting, obviously, is a premium, but you have to be able to not be porous on defense too. Players such as Steve Novak and Luke Babbitt were great three-point shooters, but were consistently played off the floor, and their NBA careers — despite their shooting — didn’t […]
Another year, another Miami Heat star chase. Last summer, they notably went after Kevin Durant before he was traded to the Houston Rockets. Ahead of this year’s trade deadline, they pursued Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ja Morant — and they will likely tread those grounds once again this summer. But what do they have to trade? […] The post Ranking the Heat’s 7 best trade assets entering 2026 summer appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Spurs stole home court advantage in game 1, but had no delusions of taking game 2 without a fight. Oklahoma City reset and were able to recreate the kind of game that kept them at the top of the Western Conference all season. De’Aaron Fox did not suit up for the second straight game […]
Duke’s deal with Amazon includes a game with Michigan, set to be played in Madison Square Garden on December 21st. As you probably know, the Big Ten and Fox have an issue with that game, arguing that Fox should have the broadcast/streaming rights since it is in a shared territory (Rutgers would theoretically qualify). Enter […]

Former Bulls GM Jerry Krause has never fully gotten the credit he deserved for building the Chicago Bulls into the second-greatest dynasty in basketball, behind only the Boston Celtics of the Bill Russell era, and it’s partly his own fault. He was indeed a brilliant GM, but he was also an insecure man who wanted […]
Barcelona star Raphinha says his decision to join the Catalan giants was the best of his career and revealed he previously had offers from two English clubs. The Brazilian joined Barcelona from Leeds in 2022 and has gone on to win La Liga, Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup titles with the club. Speaking […]
The next Steph Curry. The next Steve Nash. The next Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf…the next Brent Price. The first Reed Sheppard – existentially speaking. He is not a Kevin O’Connor comparison – He is a solitary unit. But what is he? It seems like Rafael Stone has some lofty expectations. Rumors suggest that he sees Sheppard as […]
In some of the least surprising news of the offseason, Charlotte Hornets wing Kon Knueppel made the NBA’s All Rookie first team. Knueppel undeservedly lost out on Rookie of the Year honors to his former college teammate Cooper Flagg. He seemingly lost his grip on the award with some quiet performances in the final couple […] The post Kon Knueppel named to all rookie first team first appeared on At The Hive .
According to Fortyeightminutes, Cam Boozer may be higher on boards than people expect. Here’s what they said about AJ Dybantsa and the Washington Wizards. It looks like he may be more or less a lock to go #1. Some NBA Teams are seeing little gap between AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cameron Boozer, and Caleb Wilson, which form a clear […]
The Spurs will have to settle for a split after two games in Oklahoma City. Despite doing a good job of keeping the game close and giving themselves a chance to win, fatigue and an injury to Dylan Harper that depleted their depth even more were too much to overcome against an opponent that found […]
The Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs have sent a shockwave around the rest of the NBA. They’re (hundreds of) miles away from the majority of the pack, including the Miami Heat. Miami has done a poor job managing and accumulating assets over the last several years, leaving itself little breathing room for star […] The post What latest asset rankings say about Heat’s Giannis Antetokounmpo pursuit appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Minnesota Vikings’ search for their next general manager rolls along… and has lingered a bit in the Pacific Northwest. After firing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah at the end of January, the team in the Twin Cities is still looking for the head man for the big front office role. Adofo-Mensah was released by the team, speculatively, […]
The Western Conference Finals are at a stalemate thanks to chronic turnovers by the San Antonio Spurs. On top of that, Chet Holmgren finally showed up to the series, and OKC’s bench scored an abundance of relief points, which included Alex Caruso shooting like prime Klay Thompson. The series will now shift to San Antonio. The […]
