I’d like to preface this by saying that while I know my sarcasm in this article might suggest otherwise, I don’t take any of the salty comments you’ll read below that Rivers addressed towards me personally.

After a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves at home, Portland headed East and fell to the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks. They also beat the Chicago Bulls during the week so it wasn’t a total loss. As tends to happen […]
There is an old saying that says “basketball is a game of runs.” These runs can swing momentum of a game for one team and end the hopes of the opponent. My mind jumps to the Golden State Warriors dynasty of the late 2010’s where they used passing to find a wide open shooter on […]

The Knicks just couldn’t beat good teams last year. This isn’t new information; it was highly publicized that the Knicks went 0-10 against the league’s three 60-win teams in the regular season. Did they change the narrative come playoff time when they miraculously knocked off the defending champions? Sure, but detractors pointed to that record […]

Always good to beat the Sixers. I love how much they envy Celtics organization, front office and coach. Them trading for the #1 pick and taking Fultz instead of Tatum pretty much says it all. For all those years they tanked in the process, they don't have much to show for it. It cracked me up when they called Scheierman balding because he probably has the most hair on the team. And every fan base makes a big deal out of playing 4 white players. ...

Mmm. Yep. That’ll do it. Consider me humbled, basketball gods. You built me up and struck me down just like the old stories promised you would. Beautiful work. No notes. It’s an awfully nasty beat to get pantsed on national television like that, especially on the heels of a week filled with noise from every […]
It’s another week of the Mountain West Recruiting Roundup. To officially close the book on the 2026 recruiting class, our cover photo winner needs to be mentioned.

This year’s Houston Rockets team has been one of the most inconsistent iterations of the team seen in recent memory. More over, the Rockets have been one of the most inconsistent ball clubs in the entire league. They’re far from a lock to beat the league’s relatively easier opponents. In fact, I tend to get […]
