This caught my eye: “The midrange is officially extinct. Look at this Bulls shot chart from Dec 21, 2025. They took 0 midrange jumpers the entire game. there is absolutely nothing between the paint and the three-point line. This wasn’t random variance. It was a deliberate offensive choice.” I don’t know about you, but the […]

The Dallas Mavericks (12-23) looked lost Thursday in a 123-108 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers (18-14) at American Airlines Center. The offense was sluggish. The defense was porous.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one, but Georgia shook off a slow start and used some big plays on defense and some Gunners Stockton grit to secure a 21-12 halftime lead. The Bulldogs have also done a great job of overcoming a Big Ten officiating crew that clearly got the memo about who the […]
