Well the NBP posted players all seem to be settled now, with Imai and Okamoto having signed with an MLB club and Takahashi returning to the NBP. Those players do not seem to have sparked movement in the overall market, either in free agency or in trades, at least so far, as this offseason continues […]
After leading by as many as 15 points, the Portland Trail Blazers awoke from a dreamy first quarter to find the San Antonio Spurs making up the deficit and then some. Despite Shaedon Sharpe having a historically bad game, Portland rode Deni Avdija, Donovan Clingan, and Caleb Love to find just enough offense to squeak […]
Two short-handed teams on the second night of a back-to-back collided in the Spurs’ home opener of 2026, but unfortunately, the more shorthanded Portland Trail Blazers prevailed.

The Portland Trail Blazers snatched their second win in two days, holding off the San Antonio Spurs 115-110 in crunch time on Saturday night.

For the second time this season, the New York Knicks (23*-12) have lost three straight games. It’s too early to panic, but measured concern is completely acceptable. In tonight’s first quarter, the Knicks leaned on Jalen Brunson, while the Philadelphia 76ers (19-14) answered with Tyrese Maxey’s unfettered scoring and Joel Embiid’s interior play to take […]
The Spurs’ first home game of 2026 was a failure because of an inability to guard the 3-point line and contain the glass. It was the fifth game dropped at Frost Bank Center this season, making their home record the same as on the road (12-5). Luke Kornet had a hot stretch for four minutes, […]
