I’m starting to think the Spurs might just be that dude, you know? Look, I don’t know exactly what to do with my hands at this point. Two wins over the Thunder in as many weeks has me feeling like an insane person. This isn’t supposed to be happening like this. Not yet. Not right […]

The modern NBA is generally divided into two groups: teams looking to lift a championship trophy in early June and teams trying to snag prime lottery picks in the NBA Draft later in the same month. In recent years, both groups have worked assiduously towards those goals. In the first case, trying to win, that’s […]

It doesn’t take a Nobel Prize to be able to deduce that the MLB offseason has the slowest and most brutal pace in all of professional sports. The NBA and NHL have their drafts take place in late June after the conclusion of the postseason, and free agency begins on July 1st. It takes under […]

This game probably doesn’t even matter. The Carolina Panthers could technically clinch the NFC South with a win and a Buccaneers loss to Quin Ewers and the Dolphins. The likelihood of both those things happening seems minuscule, but the Bucs are losing to everybody and the Panthers beat the Rams that one time, so you […]

The Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Los ANgeles Rams felt like two very different football games stitched together by halftime adjustments. The first half was sloppy, reactive, and at times frustrating on both sides of the ball. The second half, however, showed a team that corrected structural issues, leaned into schematic advantages, and played with […]

While the Lakers may have figured things out with Jarred Vanderbilt, that certainly hasn’t solved all the issues. The bench remains an area of weakness, particularly offensively, for LA. It’s also been a shortcoming that’s been exasperated by the team’s recent injuries. The team has a host of role players who can fill various roles, […]

In Patrick’s NFC North roundup, he mentioned a subplot from the Steelers-Lions game in which Pittsburgh receiver DK Metcalf took a swipe at a heckling fan . Refs didn’t catch it (even though CBS’ cameras did) in the moment, so there was no in-game punishment. Now that the NFL has reviewed the footae and discussed things with the Steelers wideout, discipline has been handed down. What a plot twist: DK Metcalf appears to have an altercation with a Detroit fan pic.twitter.com/a478Zjg3tR...

There are a ton of impressive records in the NBA—Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game, LeBron’s scoring record, etc. And somehow, the Chicago Bulls being undefeated since I’ve started covering them here at Bleacher Nation feels like a one-above-all kind of achievement. I’m officially claiming myself as the lucky charm… at least until they lose. But with the way Josh Giddey and the team have been playing lately, is a legit playoff push actually on the cards? Let’s talk Bulls basketball. ...
