Sixers fandom has undergone a decade-long metamorphosis. The Process brought about losing, but with a ray of hope. The Colangelo Era was bizarre and filled with screwups, but the team won a little bit. Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons turning into All-Stars made fans downright cocky. Jimmy Butler’s tenure felt like a fever dream. Most […]

When the replay of Victor Wembanyama hyper-extending his knee against the Knicks on New Year’s Eve was shown, I felt like the loneliest member of the “Victor will stay healthy like Kareem did” fan club. The highlight of the evening was when Victor came back out of the locker room to cheer on his teammates […]

He will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks. This is another unfortunate setback for the rookie. Thiero spent all of the summer recovering from a knee […]

As a fan of the Los Angeles Rams, I don’t care for the San Francisco 49ers or the Seattle Seahawks, but which team do I dislike more (which team do you dislike more)? Well, no surprise, but it has to be the 49ers. We’ll credit them for all the success they’ve had and for being […]

The hype continues to build in the rookie campaign of VJ Edgecombe. The third-overall pick in last summer’s NBA Draft, Edgecombe has dazzled this past week. He nailed a game-winning overtime three-pointer in a win in Memphis on Tuesday and followed it up with 23 points and five stocks in a victory over the Mavericks […]

While the Eastern Conference seems wide open, it's much tougher to hold down a playoff spot in that conference than the Western Conference, where the cutoff is five points lower. That means while a team has to be 6-7 games over .500 at this point in the season to hold a wildcard spot in the East, a team can be .500 to three games over .500 to hold one in the West. That being said, some not so good teams in the West, who were seen as sellers and willing to have a fire sale to prepare for the fu...

Kings fans seem like they are a decent bunch. Mostly complementary of the Celtics and don't overly trash their own team (other than Eubanks and Westbrook). I always love hearing a lot of Celtics fans on the road. Must have felt good for Queta to be starting for the Celtics after being waived by the Kings. I feel bad for the fan who just misses winning. Wild stat that the Celtics haven't played on New Year's Day in Boston since 1956. My favorites are in...

After a December that saw the Lakers win just five of their 12 games while posting the second-worst defense in the league and a third-worst net rating at -8.2, there may not be a team more eager to turn over the calendar into 2026 and begin a new year fresh than this one. But changing […]

There are zero implications for the rest of the Green Bay Packers season based on what happens on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. However, that doesn’t mean it won’t be an excellent opportunity for some intriguing players lower on the depth chart to put up some good film. Despite Jordan Love being cleared from concussion […]

It all comes down to this. Even after an inept offensive performance against a dominant Seahawks defense, the Carolina Panthers still hold their playoff destiny in their hands as they visit the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. These two groups just played against each other two weeks ago, so they’re going to be very […]

This game at the beginning of the year looked like a marquee matchup. The luster is gone, but it’s the last Minnesota Viking football we’ll enjoy for eight months. The team has finished the season on a hot streak and hopes to keep that momentum going. J.J. McCarthy sounds like he’ll be ready to go. […]

2026 is here and the Brooklyn Nets are looking to get back in the winner’s circle. They were shorthanded in last night’s matchup against the Houston Rockets and old friend Kevin Durant, and predictably got demolished by 24 points. It was their worst loss in a while, but fortunately they’re right back on the court […]

It’s not that they look very much alike. Or come from the same continent or culture. Or were raised in the same basketball tradition. Or play the same position. Or arrived to the league with similar accomplishments. Cooper Flagg of the Dallas Mavericks and Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers are two very different […]
