We’re one game in and some of you might already be regretting your vote. Don’t worry — that’s why they play 82. Not saying for a playoff run! But at least for our fun, moot preseason predicitions. Q1: Over/under 19.5? Q2: How many precisely?

The Utah Jazz were one of the biggest surprises in the NBA’s opening slate of games, trouncing the Clippers by 21 points in an ultra efficient win on Wednesday night. The Jazz got a little bit of help from everyone. Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler and Brice Sensabaugh all scored 20-plus points, while point guards Keyonte […]

When the Lakers went into their final game of the preseason against the Sacramento Kings with nearly their entire roster available — minus LeBron James, obviously — it was largely believed this would be a dress rehearsal for their season opener that would come only four days later. Head coach JJ Redick intimated as much […]

First things first, Dominick Barlow had to set the record straight: no, he did not attend St. Joe’s Prep in Philly. Barlow attended Saint Joseph High School in Metuchen, New Jersey, as a freshman before the Hackensack native transferred to Dumont High School.

In my preview for this game, I wrote about why I thought this would be a tough game. The Seattle Seahawks managed to make it tough for themselves against the Houston Texans, but for other reasons. A strip-sack in the end zone, three turnovers, and still struggling in the running game. The defense kept us […]

There’s something almost grotesque in the way that the summer lingers in Texas. Where other regionalities have begun to cool in the 10th month of the annum, a feeling of freshly minted hell permeates throughout the beef state, with 90-degree temperatures still in reach. Fall is here, though, make no mistake. And with it, the […]

The Seattle Seahawks are steamrolling towards a quarterback controversy. Well, if things continue at their current trajectory, it won’t be much of a controversy at all. But Seattle’s positioned itself for a very different future at QB than nearly anyone would have predicted six months ago. “With the 92nd pick of the 2025 NFL draft, […]

If you were like me yesterday in watching the game against the Hornets, you became well aware of two things. First, Brooklyn (as of now) can’t play a lick of defense, and second, that this is going to be a long season in which your patience will be tested, perhaps every game. En route to […]

For the past eight years, expectations in Philadelphia have been nothing short of sky-high. The 2017–18 season, the dawn of the Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid era, felt like the breakthrough fans had been waiting for. The Sixers had arrived.

When Charlotte took Kon Knueppel with the #4 pick in this past summer’s NBA Draft, there were a lot of doubters. It’s still early, but he’s made a case for the faith the Hornets have shown in him. Knueppel finished the opener against the Nets with 11 points, five rebounds an assist – and a […]
