Open Thread: Area 51 go triple-double

The Spurs loss last night was a heart-breaker. They started strong against a road weary Warriors coming into the Frost Bank Center on the second night of a back to back. In the end, Stephen Curry did what he does. A 22-point third quarter gave the Warriors the lead, and eventually they had enough distance […]

YouTube Gold: Prime Olajuwon vs. Prime Shaq

In recent years, Small Ball has been all the rage. That’s changing now, with players like Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren and Paolo Banchero moving attention back to bigger players.

Mavs YouTube Roundup: Fire Nico Chants Actually Worked Edition

Can I be honest with you? Today is the first day the RoundUp has felt like getting back on the horse and aggregating the whole of YouTube because—well—we’ve been depressed just like (many of) you have. I think today is a good day to call 2025 in the Dallas Mavericks universe what it has been […]

Recap/Analysis: Hornets cruise to win over Bucks

The Charlotte Hornets faced a Bucks team without Giannis Antetokounmpo and won the game more handily than the final score would suggest.

Celtics set several season-highs blowing out Grizzlies

Drake Powell, Egor Dëmin show genuine flashes in Rookie Report — No. 3

“Today was better. Yesterday was worse. Nobody knows how it’s going to be tomorrow, and there’s no perfect days.” When a couple of reporters told Egor Dëmin in the Brooklyn Nets locker room that Russians have a bit of a reputation for speaking very colorful English, the 19-year-old rookie scoffed. Dëmin insisted that he, like […]

Thursday Habs Headlines: Don’t worry about Jakub Dobeš

Montreal Canadiens news and notes No need to worry about Jakub Dobeš. He’s fine, just a bit emotional. [ Journal de Montreal ] Even though no other player from his country has scored more goals this season, if the Olympics were to start now, Cole Caufield would be sitting on the sidelines.

Player Grades: Lakers vs. Thunder

This contest against Oklahoma City was considered to be a measuring stick game for Los Angeles.

From “Reidy’s Kings” To Le Bris’ Princes!

Last weekend’s late show against Arsenal took me back to a classic encounter with the Gunners at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland opened the 2000/2001 season with a 1-0 home win against Arsene Wenger’s high flyers thanks to a Niall Quinn header in a game which also saw visiting skipper Patrick Vieira dismissed after retaliating […]

21 stats to explain Cavs 130-116 win over Heat

The short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Miami Heat with an impressive 130-116 win. Let’s dive into the numbers behind the victory.
