It’s FIVE OUT. Back for the Holidays! Home for Christmas! I’ve got some bad news for you, though. These are five things that I think are separating the Rockets from real contention this season, so far. And I really do mean “So far.”. The story isn’t written, the season isn’t over. The Rockets have seen […]

Seattle Seahawks outside linebacker Derick Hall will not be playing in Week 17’s big road game against the Carolina Panthers. Hall was suspended one game by the NFL after stepping on the injured leg of Los Angeles Rams guard Kevin Dotson. While Dotson’s injury was caused prior to that incident, the league deemed Hall’s actions […]

The Los Angeles Rams are on a current three-game stretch of their worst tackling performances on the season, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF) grades and metrics. I flagged this issue ahead of last Thursday night’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks: While the Rams slightly improved in terms of how many tackles they missed from […]

Coming off a blowout win versus the Atlanta Hawks, the Spurs traveled to D.C. to take on the Washington Wizards for the second time in four days. The Spurs were at full strength, but the Wizards were shorthanded, missing multiple starters. After a tight first quarter where the Spurs actually trailed by two, the silver […]

Toledo lost nearly all of its staff when Jason Candle left for UConn. They also lost their defensive coordinator to Syracuse, which left them in more of a unique situation than most, as the playcallers on both sides of the ball have left for new jobs. The Rockets haven’t had many players opt out, but […]

Thursday night’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks was a dramatic blow to the Los Angeles Rams. LA is now unlikely to win the NFC West and may need to play three road games in order to reach the Super Bowl. The path just grew much more difficult. There remains a sliver of hope that the […]

Upon recent news that the Bucks may be interested in Chris Paul, Jack wrote why that probably wouldn’t be a good idea in terms of an on-court and locker room fit. I agree with that 100%, but the I think Bucks should still trade for CP3 since it could net them a second-round pick from […]

Over a long, grueling 82-game season, there will be peaks and valleys for all 82 teams, to varying degrees. For the Miami Heat, it’s been a tale of two starts. Through the first 21 games, the Heat were off to a world-beating 14-7 start. Simply, they were playing at a breakneck pace with an above-average […] The post Is the Heat offense beginning to be their biggest problem? appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

The Chicago Bulls are streaking again, but this time, it’s the good kind! I’ve started to come around to the idea that the best defense really is a good offense. Watching the Bulls beat the Atlanta Hawks without playing an ounce of defense — a 152–150 final! What!?! — only reinforces that feeling. There’s a lot to hate and a lot more to love about it all. But one thing stands out above the rest: Matas Buzelis breaking out right in front of our very eyes. Let’s talk Bulls basketball. ...

The Los Angeles Clippers’ season has been nothing short of a disaster. Every time you think they’ve hit rock bottom, they manage to lose another game. Last week, they dropped their fifth straight, this time to the juggernaut Oklahoma City Thunder. As things stand, the Clippers sit as the 13th seed in a competitive Western […]

The Blackhawks were off yesterday, things are bad here, and the Blackhawks don’t play again until tomorrow. So I want to start our Monday with some respect for an all-time great making history on Sunday. Sidney Crosby had two points on Sunday. The second, an assist on a power-play goal by Rickard Rakell at 12:40 of the first period, gave him 1,724 points (645 goals, 1,079 assists). That’s one point more than Mario Lemieux, and now the most points in Pittsburgh Penguins history. Hocke...
