Earl Weaver died the year that I turned 25. That he died aboard a Caribbean cruise was a source of some amusement for those who’d known him. Though I can no longer find the quote, I recall at least one former player somberly jesting that it was the relaxation that killed the man so uniformly […]

Yeah, last night’s game sucked. After skating 10 games to start the regular season and the only blowouts being in the Blackhawks’ favor, there was finally a big, ugly loss to put on the board. Those are going to happen to every team every year. The Blackhawks have had more than their fair share of those the past few years. After sleeping on it, my thoughts on the Blackhawks’ loss shifted. Last night’s game felt a different. Rather than the “here we go again” exhausted, defeated feeli...

The San Antonio Spurs denied the Miami Heat a fourth-quarter comeback and are now 5-0 for the first time in franchise history. Anyone who heard Victor Wembanyama at the press conference after the Toronto Raptors win, probably knew deep down that he would deliver, but it took 12 lead changes and four ties to get […]

Now the Sixers return home to […]

When a team that is 2 games below .500 is on a 3-game losing streak and facing two games against a pair of conference foes, each with a 5-2 record, there’s really no silver lining, and “must win” no longer has much meaning. It’s usually too late; the team is a dead man walking. If […]

Their odds of repeating as champions are better than Washington’s odds of winning the draft lottery — even if the Wizards finish with the NBA’s worst record. Even missing their […]
