The Houston Rockets are 0-2. That’s not what most fans expected, but it’s not cause for concern yet. The Rocekts hung tough in Oklahoma City against the champs and then (everyone but Kevin Durant) had a poor offensive night against the Pistons. Things are looking up, though, because the Brooklyn Nets are coming to town […]

Judging by the way the Los Angeles Clippers tripped up the Portland Trail Blazers 114-107 in Los Angeles tonight, my ancient ancestors might have been on to something. Kawhi Leonard led the way for LA with 30 points and 10 rebounds while the […]

Reaves’ 51 points came on just 12-22 shooting as he went 21-22 at the free throw line. He flirted with a triple-double as well, tallying […]

The San Francisco 49ers entered Week 8 as the top team in the NFC West, but their loss to the Houston Texans dropped them into wild card position and barely hanging on to that. It wasn’t that long ago that San Francisco was the top team in the NFC. The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles […]

The Utah Jazz have been in flux since the Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell trades. Last season, finally, it felt like the Jazz understood how important it is to find talent in the draft to succeed in a rebuild. After a difficult season of losing compounded by a lottery night loss, Ryan Smith made a […]

The Blackhawks might have been able to get away with some little miscues here and there against their last few opponents, but a good, veteran team like LA isn’t going to let them off the hook. They didn’t tonight. And it cost the Blackhawks a game with a few bad shifts early in the second period. This game started pretty well, though. There were really very few things to complain about after 20 minutes. The Blackhawks out-shot the Kings 11-6, had a 17-10 shot attempt advantage at 5-on-5, ...

The Washington Wizards lost to the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday evening, 139-113 in their home opener of the 2025-26 NBA season. I felt pretty good about the first half of the game. Washington led 62-51, was winning the field goal percentage battle by a fair amount, and they were also draining threes at a good […]

Two score years ago today, Patrick Ewing played his first game as a Knick, logging 18 points and six rebounds in a loss to the Sixers at the Garden. Forty years later, they lost, too. So much for a perfect season: Heat 115, Knicks 107. The New York Knicks (2-1) were at Kaseya Center to […]
