There’s a moment in Thinking Basketball’s newest video where Ben Taylor points out that the average NBA team sets 55 ball screens per 100 possessions. Memphis last year posted the lowest number ever tracked at 34. The 2025–26 Miami Heat? Twelve. Twelve screens per 100 possessions. That’s not just a stylistic choice — that’s a […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a long injury report for their game against the Toronto Raptors. They’ll need a full team effort to win this one.

The Celtics are still an enigma. They play well enough to build a 26 point lead and then they slack off and allow the Magic to come back and make it a game. Maybe losing Queta was a bigger deal than we thought. Glad they held on for the win, but it shouldn't have gotten that close. It always amazes me when fans hate so many of their own players, even to wishing one injured. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? Possible schedule l...

My, how the turntables have turned. While Sam Darnold was out decidedly not throwing four interceptions, his replacement in Minnesota threw two of them, posted a 17.9 QBR and came home with a bad headache. That’s right folks, JJ McCarthy has entered the NFL concussion protocol. Can he navigate this any better than he does […]

Plenty of surprises have arisen a month into the NBA season. The middle of the East, in particular, has been better than expected. All three of Philly, Miami, and Toronto occupy playoff or play-in spots, when the Heat were the only ones who made it last year. So, what’s changed? In Philly, it’s been a […]

When the NFL schedules came out back in May, the Week 13 matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks was looked at as being the “Sam Darnold Revenge Game.” It still might be, although at this point it might be the sort of revenge that you generally see in a movie produced by […]

The quarterback situation for the Minnesota Vikings has just gotten a lot more complicated. During his Monday morning press conference, head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters that quarterback J.J.

The final score of the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks game was much closer than expected against a 1-9 team (and maintained the streak of games between the two teams that were decided by just one possession). This didn’t seem to matter in the projection for the next game against the Vikings, and FanDuel Sportsbook […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers are experimenting with Evan Mobley’s usage to start the 2025-26 NBA season. This process has included some trial and error as they attempt to dial in the exact approach that will lead to the best results for Mobley. “The first five games were a little off-kilter, right? Probably force-fed him a little […]

Coming off a three-game winning streak without Victor Wembanyama, Dylan Harper, and mostly Stephon Castle, the Spurs looked to start their west coast road trip with a victory. Their first stop? A rematch of the Phoenix Suns. What started as a rough shooting half for Phoenix, the Spurs actually looked like the more poised team, […]

The Minnesota Vikings faced the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, and it was an embarrassing loss, 23–6. The Vikings’ offense was pathetic. The special teams continued to be a mess. The Packers weren’t asked to do much offensively and were held in check for most of the day by a decent defensive performance. Emanuel Wilson […]
