Kings Rumors: Secondary Scoring Is Being Targeted

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.

Donovan Mitchell has raised his game to another level: ‘I feel like I’m at my best right now’

Milwaukee Bucks Poll: Your thoughts on the Giannis rumors

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”). […]

Sixers need to let McCain-Edgecombe backcourt take its lumps

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 […]
