It’s that time of the week again! Honestly, every time the Chicago Bulls lose a game or announce an injury, the idea of looking ahead to the NBA Draft gets extra exciting. That, in turn, makes following college ball more fun, and gives me even more reason to write this article.
Now, I won’t pretend there isn’t an elephant in the room that needs acknowledging. With the current state of college basketball, former NBA draft picks playing in college, a 25-year-old who’s already logged time in...

Boston’s loss against Denver wasn’t just about missed shots or late-game execution. It was, above all, a night where defensive choices, communication, and coverage discipline consistently put the Celtics in uncomfortable situations. Jamal Murray became the main stress test — and the Celtics never fully solved it. The Celtics started the game with Jaylen Brown […]

The Seattle Seahawks managed to win the NFC West and also earned a bye in the first week of the playoffs, becoming the number one seed for the first time since 2014.

Not sure why the Celtics can play so good one night and then play so bad the next. Is it focus or effort or what? Nuggets fans were trashing their coach and Nnaji to start and then at the end both were the best. I'm sure some of the trade Jokic comments were joking but I have to think some were really thinking it. they were talking about how they hate the way the Celtics play because they shoot so many 3's. The Nuggets shot 6 more 3's than the Celtics. Well,...

Yes, you read the headline correctly. The much-maligned 49ers defense, which was gashed on the ground over and over by the Seattle Seahawks and gave up back-breaking third-down conversions, has a better chance on Sunday against the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles. I understand. The Eagles have one of the best running backs in […]

How about a little caffeinated applause for the boys last night, eh? The Blackhawks put boot to [donkey] on the St. Louis Blues last night, putting a touchdown on the board and kicking the extra point for good measure. Most impressively, the Hawks had seven goals from seven different skaters last night — and one of them was not the team’s leader, Tyler Bertuzzi . The depth scoring we’ve been longing for is starting to really show out.
Whenever you have a handful of guys with multi-point e...

There was an end of an era (error?) in Atlanta on Wednesday, as the Hawks pulled the trigger on a long-rumored trade, ending the Trae Young era by sending him to… [checks notes] …the Washington Wizards in exchange for Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum. No picks going either way. It’s a surreal ending to a […]
