Just minutes into last night’s game, Jalen Brunson went crashing down with a right ankle injury. The Knicks’ hopes of beating the Kings went down with him. Sacramento, sitting at a lowly 10-30, had their way with New York the rest of the way. Their first-quarter double digit lead remained that large for just about […]

This week has been a busy one for the Lakers. They played three games in five days, including a back-to-back, and had to manage injuries, travel and old age, yet still came out with a 2-1 record. Finding ways to win despite the challenges in front of them has been the modus operandi for the […]

This is my favorite article to write every week , mostly because it’s how I cope with Chicago’s mediocrity. Last night, the Bulls beat the Utah Jazz in the clutch. It was a great game, but watching Utah’s young core outplay what the Bulls put on the floor left me jealous. I want my team to have something that feels like a real future, too. With the NBA trade deadline approaching fast, the Bulls have a chance to trade for that kind of young core. Personally, though, I’d rather they get it ...

Even with their dispiriting loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers Wednesday night, the Sixers sit at 22-17, good for fifth in the East. If fans were told that would be the case back in October — and the team was getting MVP-caliber play from Tyrese Maxey, a physically improving version of Joel Embiid and a Rookie […]

The San Francisco 49ers are facing the Seattle Seahawks for the second time in two weeks on Saturday, this time at Lumen Field as they hope for a different result than their 13-3 loss in Week 18.

There is nothing new to break down from the Seattle Seahawks side. They haven’t played anyone since we last saw them, which was only two weeks ago. There is new information about the San Francisco 49ers. Some good: Fred Warner potentially returning this weekend and Ricky Pearsall feeling optimistic he’d play. Trent Williams’s upgrade to […]

It’s officially January 15th, the day the worst-kept secret finally got out. Jonathan Kuminga is getting traded. His relationship with the team that drafted him has been severely strained for a long time, and he officially requested a trade today, even though it feels like the Warriors have been shopping him for more than a year already. Golden State's Jonathan Kuminga has demanded a trade away from the Warriors as he becomes eligible to be moved Thursday, sources tell ESPN. Full story ...

Well, boys and girls. Looks like we will continue to beat that horse! The offseason fun/drama is in full effect now. The press conferences from KAM and KOC were interesting. There are a lot of interpretations out there about what their plans are for the QB room. The consensus appears to be that they are […]

On Wednesday night, the Chicago Bulls survived a fourth-quarter collapse to stave off an embarrassing loss (and a career night from Brice Sensabaugh) to a blatantly tanking Utah Jazz, riding Nikola Vucevic ‘s season-high 35-point night to a 128-126 win. Coby White , back on the roster and in the starting five, had yet another shaky night as he tries to find his rhythm after a calf injury. Although White and fellow (fill-in) starting guard Tre Jones failed to score in double figures, a who...

The Chicago Blackhawks host the Calgary Flames on Thursday night at the United Center, hoping to get back in the win column as the flu bug that’s ripped through the locker room appears to be winding down. This season has largely gone sideways for the Flames, who enter the midpoint of the year sitting 30th in the league by points percentage (.457) and looking every bit like a team stuck in neutral. On paper, they look mostly average — the Flames own 51.01 percent of shot attempts (12th in ...

Back in November, when Karl-Anthony Towns was off to the worst offensive start of his career, I began writing this call-to-action for him to get his act together.
