The Kansas City Chiefs’ injury woes continued in the 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 14. In the first quarter, the Chiefs lost offensive tackle Wanya Morris, already filling in for a starter, and two-time All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie; both suffered knee injuries and remained sidelined for the rest of the evening. In […]
On today’s show, Ryan Eichten and Leo Sun discuss the Minnesota Timberwolves’ five-game winning streak going up in flames in a disappointing 109-106 loss to the Phoenix Suns. — Monday’s game against the Suns was the sixth straight game where the Wolves’ defense struggled greatly in the first half. In the previous five, the Wolves were […]
Alright, let’s all take a deep breath. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Because honestly… what even was that? The Spurs escaped New Orleans last night, and I mean escaped in the “shimmying out the bathroom window away from a fight you accidentally started” sense. One second they are cruising, clearly the better […]
The longtime coach of Philadelphia Union II will take charge of the inaugural Brooklyn men's squad ahead of its USL Championship debut in 2026.
There are several Eastern Conference suitors in the Anthony Davis trade market, in a new report by ESPN’s Shams Charania.

Congratulations to Sebastian Walcott, who was voted the #1 prospect in the 2025-26 LSB Offseason Community Prospect Rankings, getting almost 100% of the vote. Moving on… As we do every year, twice a year — once midseason and once offseason — we are voting on who we think is the top prospect in the Rangers […]
The Los Angeles Kings are where they normally are in the standings, hanging around the second or third spot in their division. Making the playoffs hasn't typically been an issue, but doing anything when they get there has. Each season, it seems to be something different that they come up short with against the Edmonton Oilers, but as we're only 30 games into the season, there's no guarantee that the Kings play the Oilers in the first round of the playoffs for a fifth consecutive season. Regard...
There are only two games on the NBA schedule tonight, and both are Emirates Cup Quarterfinal contests. First up, the Miami Heat will square up with the Magicians in Orlando. Then the New York Knicks (16-7) will head north of the border to take on the Toronto Raptors (15-10) and a couple of old friends. […]
While Tuesday night’s contest against the Orlando Magic will count against the standings, it’s not just any regular-season game. Hoping to snap a three-game losing streak, Tuesday marks the Emirates Cup quarterfinals between the Heat and Magic at 6:00 p.m. EST inside Kia Center. The two intrastate foes are on track to meet seven times […] The post What’s at stake for the Miami Heat in the Emirates Cup quarterfinals? appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Donovan Mitchell’s play is one of the few things currently going right for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He’s been the one constant in a season filled with injuries and inconsistent play. And he isn’t just playing to his usual All-NBA standard. He’s raised his game to another level. “Mindset,” head coach Kenny Atkinson said last week […]
The Washington Wizards have assigned guard AJ Johnson to the Capital City Go-Go, the team announced Tuesday Johnson, 21, has appeared in just 10 of Washington’s 22 games this season and played less than 10 minutes in each of those contests. This marks Johnson’s second stint with the Go-Go in as many weeks. The sophomore […]
There’s little reason to rehash the latest round of rumors reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania and some of the contradicting claims made by Brian Windhorst last week regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee. The most disappointing thing to me, though, is not the usual slop they feed us (I expect it from the “worldwide leader”). […]
Anyone watching Jared McCain in his first few games of the season could tell he was still dealing with the lingering effects of the thumb and knee injuries that kept him out of action for 11 months. The bulky brace he wore on his knee restricted his mobility and he could not buy a jumper […]
Walkin’ fast, faces pass, and the Spurs are not yet homebound (they have one more game in Los Angeles before their next home game). Regardless, the good guys are just starin’ blankly ahead, just makin’ their way, makin’ a way through the crowd *and that third quarter (phew). Thankfully, the Spurs got back in the […]
When the Dallas Mavericks lost to the Los Angeles Lakers, the season felt over. The team sat at a lowly 5-15, and had a brutal stretch of games that awaited them. But somehow the Mavericks won 4 of their 5, and sit just outside of the Play-In tournament. This stretch of wins reignited the debate […]
It’s Cup Time! The Knicks fly north of the border to face the struggling Raps in The Six, aiming at clinching a place in the Final Four and the first Larry O’B Lite in franchise history. Here’s the latest from your superheroes. Mike Brown On Miles McBride’s injury:“I actually asked him that before he went […]
Last night, Dylan Harper scored a career high 22 points. His career is only a baker’s dozen of games deep, which makes one think he’s going to shine bright for some time to come. Harper is a perfect fit in San Antonio. Fans want Harper to be a part of this team for a long […]
While a formal announcement for a January 31 140 lb title defense between Teofimo Lopez and Shakur Stevenson was announced last week, the specifics around the venue had not been disclosed. ESPN is now reporting that the fight will take place at New York’s Madison Square Garden. The site will have both fighters competing close […]
Something about the Toronto Raptors is broken. That much is clear ahead of their NBA Cup quarterfinal debut against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. on Sportsnet. After winning 13 of 14 games, including a stretch of nine straight, the Raptors are currently in the middle of a maddening […]

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, December 9th. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 14-11. Let’s talk about how badly they need this chance to rest. The First Sip The Cavaliers need to reset. That much has become obvious. It’s been a grueling schedule that hasn’t been particularly kind to a team that’s already struggling. The Cavs, who have […]
As a fan of the Dallas Mavericks (9-16 and bless their pointed little heads), one of two lines of thought may be running through your head right about now, as the team has beaten three legitimately good teams among four wins in its last five games. Is it okay to feel feelings about this team […]
