The same way that Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys fans get to watch their teams on Thanksgiving every year, the Knicks are the closest thing that the NBA has to that for their biggest showcase day, Christmas. Since their inaugural season in 1947, they’ve played on Christmas 58 […]

On paper, this looks like a straightforward matchup. In reality, it’s the kind of game that tests discipline, preparation, and patience — especially for a Seahawks team still fighting to control its own destiny to be the seed 1 in the NFC. The Carolina Panthers’ decisive game isn’t against the Seattle Seahawks, but against the […]

The Brooklyn Nets were awful. Head Coach Jordi Fernández groveled before his team and the media, simply asking for effort… The day after those comments, Brooklyn fell to 0-7, losing to the Anthony Edwards-less Minnesota Timberwolves 125-109.

On the Detroit Lions’ final injury report of the week in the lead up to their Christmas Day bout with the Minnesota Vikings, the team did not even list starting center Graham Glasgow with an injury designation.

Well, well, well. The San Antonio Spurs are proving that the Oklahoma City Thunder are not so mighty after all. The Christmas Day victory marks their third against them in 12 days and eight in a row, which has given them a ton of street cred, as they got it done in style. De’Aaron Fox […]

BOSTON – For the first time since 2015, the Celtics didn’t get a Christmas Day game. In hindsight, that was an undeniable mistake – even without Jayson Tatum, they hold the Eastern Conference’s third-best record and the NBA’s sixth-best net rating, powered by an MVP-caliber season from Jaylen Brown. But the scheduling oversight didn’t prevent […]

You’d have a hard time beating this from Giannis Antetokounmpo, aka the Greek Freak.

Injuries can be really devastating for basketball players. Grant Hill’s career was ultimately defined by injuries and then the immense courage he showed in overcoming them. Jabari Parker’s career was knocked sideways by ACL injuries and he’s now in Europe instead of the NBA. And then there’s Harry Giles. Like the last two mentioned, Giles […]
