If any of us were worried about the lingering aftereffects from that loss in New York on Sunday, this was a great litmus test to reveal exactly where you fall on the half-full, half-empty divide of life’s great optimism scale. You can look at the 131 points they scored on 55% shooting from the field […]
Something has been in the air lately, almost like a bug—or perhaps an injury bug? Jokes aside, both Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr. have had ankle injuries in recent games. Amen hurt his ankle in Monday’s game against the Washington Wizards, while Jabari was injured during last Thursday’s game against the Orlando Magic. Houston’s […]
For the past two seasons, MLB has featured a “Spring Breakout” series during Spring Training where every team assembles a team of their best prospects from throughout their farm system. Then these teams of prospects each play one exhibition game against a squad from a rival team in the Cactus or Grapefruit League. These games […]
Yesterday, the Hawks took action to fill their third and final two-way spot with the signing of Keshon Gilbert. The report broken by Jake L. Fischer of the Stein Line substack: Caleb Houston was recently converted from his two-way deal to a standard contract. In that space is now Gilbert, who played for the Wizards […]
Free agency is right around the corner, which makes this the perfect time to take a hard look at the Seattle Seahawks roster. This isn’t just about listing needs — it’s about depth, urgency, and where Seattle must act aggressively versus where it can afford patience. Let’s go position by position. Quarterback There’s not much […]
When Mike Brown was hired as the new honcho in July, it was abundantly clear that the Knicks would fundamentally change their offensive identity. And while the team has been pretty similar to last season in terms of offensive rating, efficiency, and their overall standing in the league, there’s one thing that’s been different: three-point […]
The Oregon Ducks Mens basketball was in Champaign Tuesday night to take on #11 Illinois The team had been playing better as of late going 3-2 in their last 5 games and one of those two loses being a heart breaker to Northwestern on the weekend. Barring the Dana March run to end all Dana […]
On Tuesday night, NBC flashed back to the 1990s and the result was more entertaining than any episode of Friends I’ve seen. With the NBA once more on the network this season as part of the league’s changing media rights landscape, NBC did a retro broadcast of the Sixers-Spurs game in Philadelphia. I adored it, […]
The Wizards lost another one — this time a reasonably competitive game (at least for a while) against the Orlando Magic. The final margin: 17. That 17-point final gap sounds big for the words “reasonably competitive,” and those words in this case are not intended to convey the idea that the Wizards ever had a […]
Poke the bear and you get the horns. Something like that. Everyone and their tax advisor knew that coming off their first lost in 10 games, the Spurs would come out swinging on Tuesday night. Boy howdy, did they wax the cow off that haystack. Devin Vassell and Dylan Harper both had a game high […]

Newcastle United host Manchester United at St James’ Park on Wednesday night in MD29 of the Premier League. Newcastle enter the match sitting in a precarious 13th position in the table after losing five of their last six league matches. A horrid 3-2 home defeat to Everton at the weekend marked their third consecutive Premier […]

The Milwaukee Bucks face off with the Atlanta Hawks tonight as both teams battle for play-in positioning. The Bucks (four games back) sit at 11th, while the Hawks are tied with the Hornets for 10th; a Bucks win means they would gain a full game on the Hawks. This will be the second matchup between […]
The Mavericks were 1-4 over the last week and remain in 12th place in the West. They beat Brooklyn (123-114), and lost four largely uncompetitive games to Sacramento (130-121), Memphis (124-105), Oklahoma City (100-87), and Charlotte (117-90). Naji Marshall led the team in scoring with 20.3 points per game. Cooper Flagg (foot) remains out, while […]
The Sixers are coming off a rough one — getting blown out at home by the San Antonio Spurs, 131-91. The good news is they won’t have long to stew on it. Philadelphia hosts the Utah Jazz tonight on the second leg of a back-to-back, giving them a quick chance to bounce back. Sixer fans […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves still well in the hunt for home court advantage in the playoffs. How did they get there? Their seesaw effort certainly had to do with it. The front office tinkering with some marginal moves had an effect. We asked, and 50 of you responded with who you thought contributed the most. It’s […]

When speaking about the state of WNBA collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations at Unrivaled’s Monday pre-semifinal press availability, Kelsey Plum and Breanna Stewart both struck a more conciliatory tone, emphasizing their opposition to a strike, the wins that the union has secured thus far and a desire to come to agreement that allows for a […]
On March 16, the Atlanta Hawks are hosting a theme night as they play against the Orlando Magic. The theme “Magic City Monday,” seems purposefully confusing considering their opponent for the evening. But Magic City is an Atlanta based strip club made famous for being mentioned in hip-hop albums. The venue was also notably visited […]
As the Celtics sweep through the final stretch of what’s been a magical season of career-best breakouts, I often think about a Media Day headline I wrote when expectations were in a significantly different state. The 2025-26 Celtics are one big Stay Ready squad. Ironically, “Stay Ready” isn’t the en vogue phrase of the 2025-26 […]
Juju Reese’s NBA career looked to be far from a sure thing. But in the last week, he has exploded onto the scene, nearly recording a double-double on Tuesday. In his second NBA start in two days, Reese played 33 minutes in the Washington Wizards’ 126-109 loss to the Orlando Magic. Reese shot 4-of-6 from […]

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers did just enough to get past the conference-leading Detroit Pistons 113-109. If you stop Cade Cunningham, you’ll stop the Pistons. Head coach Kenny Atkinson called defending Cunningham “the key to the game,” and understandably so. Cunningham was effective as a playmaker with 14 assists, but was held to just 10 […]
The 2025-2026 Boston Celtics have been defined by exceeding expectations, and no one on this Celtics roster, and maybe not in the entire league, has exceeded expectations more than Neemias Queta. There were plenty of reasons to be skeptical of the Celtics coming into the season; they would be relying on a roster comprised of […]
