When Mitch Johnson was introduced as the head coach of the San Antonio Spurs back in May, he didn’t command the room. He listened. He was thankful. He smiled. He even shed a tear or two. Then, when it was his turn to say a few words he said, “I will attempt to do it […]
Most NBA teams have already announced their LGBTQ Pride Night this season. Yet nearly a third of the league seems to have not. The post 21 NBA teams will host a Pride Night this season. Do the other 9 need to travel? appeared first on Outsports .
For the first time this season, the Milwaukee Bucks will get their first look at Copper Flagg, as they’ll travel to Big D to take on the Dallas Mavericks. It’s the second night of a home-road back-to-back, and Milwaukee is seeking to course-correct after falling short late to Houston yesterday afternoon. The Bucks have won […]
Tonight, the Portland Trail Blazers travel to Orlando to take on the middling Magic. Fresh off a hard-fought loss to the Miami Heat, the Blazers hope to leave Florida on a high note. The Magic Report Last season, the NBA zeitgeist crowned the Orlando Magic the next big thing. Brick-wall defenders, exceptional length and athleticism, […]
Good win for the Celtics and it's great to see guys who have been written off like Walsh and Garza coming up big in the win. Magic fans are fickle. They go from expecting a triple double from Banchero to calling him trash and saying that he's not a star. It would seem that they like the Celtics players better than they do their own. They trashed most of their own players and wanted to trade them for Celtics. They also covet the Celtics coach. My favori...
One of the most exciting elements of the Sixers’ hot start that’s seen them vault up the Eastern Conference standings has been the fact that they’ve done so shorthanded. Joel Embiid has been on a fairly tight minutes limit, Jared McCain has hardly seen the floor at all, and Paul George has yet to suit […]
The Celtics spent a taxing three-day weekend in Orlando. It began with a return to NBA Cup play, where the Celtics watched a fourth-quarter lead unravel into a nightmarish 26-14 Magic run on Friday night. Boston chalked up the defeat — and its late-game Jenga tower collapse — to “growing pains” and a steep “learning […]
It’s that binary time of the year. When we try again to watch football with one eye, basketball with the other. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Oh for the days of picture in picture. OK, not really. There are laptops and iPads and phone apps, and we seem to be able to manage. First, football. […]

“The cool thing right now isn’t the Knicks.” “Me, I’ve never lost to the Knicks since I’ve been in the league.” “City is under new management” If any of those quotes sound familiar, they were said by players, fans, and even part-owners about the Brooklyn Nets in the last few seasons. When they got the […]
Last year the Knicks were good. Really good! Only not quite as good as they thought they oughta be, leading a franchise without a title for more than 50 years to fire their best head coach in 25 on the grounds that “our organization is singularly focused on winning a championship for our fans.” As […]
Greetings, internet users. Welcome to The Scratching Post. Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-football sports, you name it.

The Buffalo Sabres are struggling once again this season, as they are at the bottom of the Atlantic Division standings with a 5-6-3 record. Due to this, pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) Alex Tuch has been a very popular name in the rumor mill. If the Sabres do not improve and Tuch is not extended as the deadline gets closer, he could very well get moved. Because of this, let's discuss three potential landing spots for him. Los Angeles Kings The Kings need another scoring winge...
As I mentioned yesterday, I have been stuck indoors with a cold. I thought it best to hunker down on the couch and watch the second half of Saturday night’s Spurs/Pelicans game (yay!) and then a bunch of movies. I decided to focus on basketball flicks and add on to the “basketball movie of the […]
ORLANDO — Anfernee Simons played just two minutes in the first half of Friday’s 123-110 loss to the Orlando Magic. The Celtics were outscored by 11 in that stretch, and Joe Mazzulla opted to give Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez more extended run. Afterwards, Simons was gracious about his benching. “J-Walsh and Hugo came in […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins closed out a back-to-back set on Sunday afternoon, hosting the Los Angeles Kings. Of note, it was highly touted goalie prospect Sergei Murashov’s NHL debut. The Kings came out as the victors in what was a 3-2 win over Pittsburgh. [Highlights] Despite the […]
Reed Sheppard is starting to reverse the all-too-early concocted narrative on him as an NBA player. It’s still early in the season (and his NBA career) but we can’t ignore what he’s been doing of late, and what’s been said about him. He was written off long ago. Dating back to his rookie season, we’ve […]
Luka Garza’s first ten games as a Boston Celtic have had some ups and some downs. That is to be expected from a player on his third team in five years and has never had a regular rotation role. In fact, before Sunday night, Garza only had one game where he was a positive in […]
Often mocked as perennial Play-In Tournament participants, perhaps no one in the league is more familiar with being a middling team hovering around .500 than the Chicago Bulls. Despite this, the Bulls have shown a strong start to the season, propelled by their young guard, Josh Giddey, who is listed as questionable after an ankle […]
ORLANDO — Normally, when Jordan Walsh plays the entire fourth quarter, it means the game is out of reach. Just a week ago, in a blowout Celtics loss to the Houston Rockets, Walsh played all 12 fourth-quarter minutes, running around and getting up shots against the Rockets’ two-way players. But this time, Walsh’s fourth-quarter minutes […]
After winning their last three matches by a 2+ goal margin, the signs pointed toward a comfortable victory for Atlético Madrid in Saturday’s match vs. Levante. Instead, the Granotas proved to be a rather stubborn test for Diego Simeone’s side, who, after conceding an early own goal, immediately responded by levelling proceedings via Atleti academy […]
