Darius Acuff NBA Draft Profile: How would the Arkansas Razorback fit with the Mavericks?
Darius Acuff Jr. of the Arkansas Razorbacks is perhaps the favorite small-ish point guard on the 2026 NBA Draftboard. Acuff’s offensive case speaks loudly enough to justify high-end lottery interest, but the questions surrounding his defensive effort and shot profile are real enough to split many evaluators. He was Arkansas’ engine as a freshman, scoring […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves Biggest Offseason Questions

Head coach Jose Fernandez is willing to speak harsh truths. Will his honesty help or hurt the Dallas Wings?
After a season of failure under head coach Chris Koclanes, the Dallas Wings let him go and once again pressed the reset button on their rebuild.

Even With A Major Omission, This List Explains So Much
This Substack article from Craig Meyer lists his 13 worst coaching hires from the last 26 years, or if you prefer, this century. Five of them were ACC hires: It’s a useful chart, and when you think about it, even with one major absence, if you take a small bit of license, about a third […]
What we learned from the Spurs Game 2 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder
I am obsessed with the historical occurrence of the fad. Fad is a word that sounds contemporary but is actually much older, having been coined back in the 1830s as a probable variation of the French word ‘fadaise’ (meaning a trifle and/or nonsense), which was ultimately derived from the Latin ‘fatuus’, which is basically another […]

Alabama had one of the most NBA-centric offenses in college basketball, and it’s all thanks to Nate Oats and how he schemes up his players for success.

Open Thread: Road trippin’ to OKC with Spurs journalists
For me, writing can be a solitary thing. As I write this, it’s 10:03 p.m. Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals just ended. I am sitting on the couch. This season, I have been fortunate to be credentialed, affording me an opportunity to not only attend the games in person, but to observe many […]

YouTube Gold: 1987 NBA Eastern Conference Finals Classic Game 5

10 Takeaways from Cavs 109-93 Game 2 loss to Knicks: Offense once again lets Cavaliers down
Games can be won and lost in short spurts. The Cleveland Cavaliers found that out the hard way once again as they dropped Game 2 109-93 to the New York Knicks. After blowing a 22-point lead in an eight-minute meltdown in Game 1, it was 18 unanswered points in the middle of the third quarter […]
CelticsBlog exit interview: Sam Hauser has maxed out his role
For the first time since he was a sophomore in high school, Sam Hauser finished a season of basketball shooting under 40% from three.

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs vs Oklahoma City Thunder, Game 3
Even with injuries to key players, the San Antonio Spurs have to feel good about themselves coming into tonight’s Game 3.
