Now, it appears Kentucky Basketball might be going down a similar route, as the Wildcats have interest in G […]

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but a late, if not spirited, Lakers comeback fell short as they ultimately lost to the Clippers on Thursday. It’s a common theme for the team in recent years to fall behind big, fake a comeback and make the score closer than it deserved to be. As was […]

At so many points during his injury-plagued 19-game campaign a season ago, it was reasonable to think Joel Embiid may never play over 40 minutes in an NBA game again, let alone nearly 48. Even now, he might not be too hot on that prospect. “He walked into the locker room after the game and […]

Have yourself a night, Chicago, Josh Giddey is back! And he looks good. With a big win over the same team against whom Giddey suffered his hamstring strain, the Bulls are now riding a three-game win streak and are back to .500. The offense looked fluid with him on the floor, even in limited minutes. And I’m happy the rest of the cast was able to fit around him like water in a jar. Matas once again saw no minutes in the clutch. I know the five the Bulls closed with were strong, b...
