I will attempt to refrain from commenting too much on the play that defined last night’s game and will instead try to focus on the optimistic fact that this young and inexperienced Spurs team very nearly scored a road playoff win against a very good (and extremely desperate) opponent without the support of their best […]
After opening their draft with Jadarian, the Seahawks almost doubled down on the theme in Round 2 with a Ja’Darius. At pick No. 64, Seattle selected Ja’Darius ‘Bud’ Clark, a versatile defensive back out of TCU who projects as one of the more intriguing fits in Mike Macdonald’s evolving secondary. With Coby Bryant now in […]
The NBA Draft Lottery is finished and we now know which teams will be picking in what order. This means there is pretty much 20/20 vision as to where Arizona standouts Brayden Burries and Koa Peat will be heading. It would be the third consecutive year that a Wildcat was taken in the NBA Draft […]
In Today’s Links: paltry pickings this morning. Enjoy these delicate treats, then prepare for the schedule release later this week. Exciting times. Also, I think I saw Pete Carroll yesterday afternoon at Psych Fest in Austin. It was a good time. Thanks for being here. Go, ‘Hawks! #np Bloodhound On My Trail by The Black […]
The dust has settled on the NBA Draft Lottery. The Milwaukee Bucks will be picking 10th on draft night this June. Now that the initial excitement (or disappointment, although if that’s how you’re feeling, that’s on you for getting your hopes up in the first place) has worn off after a good night’s sleep, let’s […]
With January in the books as the best month of the Mavs’ season, February rolled in and was anything but. Dallas continued to stick around in a lot of games, often keeping things close before coming up short. A generally abysmal record and some bad (but obvious) news were the call for the month, but […]

For better or worse, the Green Bay Packers’ decision to trade a pair of seventh-round draft picks had some knock-on effects that will affect the team’s salary cap sheet in 2026. A few weeks ago, towards the end of the 2026 NFL Draft, General manager Brian Gutekunst sent both of his 7th-round selections to Seattle […]
The Washington Wizards have the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. That is a huge morale boost for the fans. And yet … the organization is willing to make moves with that pick, including trading down that very pick, according to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report and The Stein Line. It’s important to […]
What a game! I kind of inexplicably blacked out 12 minutes into the game and gained consciousness a few moments later to watch the rest of the entertaining wrestling match/basketball game trying to piece together what happened like in the movie Memento. You, fellow readers, get the pleasure of going with me on this journey […]
Incoming Dallas Mavericks president of basketball operations and alternate governor Masai Ujiri said in his introductory press conference on Tuesday that he wanted to bring “calm” to an organization beset by tumult in the year-plus before he was hired. In a sit-down interview with team Chief Communication Officer Gina Miller later in the week, Ujiri […]
The most important day of any fantasy basketball season is, of course, draft day. But the first few days of the actual WNBA season can be just as crucial for fantasy managers looking to get off to a fast start.

Now that the draft lottery is over, people can start to make some educated guesses about who goes to what team. Here’s an interesting factor we had not considered: not only is Carlos Boozer Cameron Boozer’s father, he’s also a scout for the Utah Jazz, and the Jazz hold the #2 pick. Utah can get […]
Colts need CJ Allen to be a beast for draft class to hit! Pacers Pritchard apologizes for trade!
It was a Mother’s Day Massacre in Xfinity Mobile Arena (otherwise known as MSG East South), as the Knicks pulverized a hapless Sixers team to finish off a four-game sweep and make a second consecutive Eastern Conference Finals run. There’s a lot to analyze, but there will be no analysis in this article. Just sheer […]
The Los Angeles Kings have a coaching vacancy and a roster talented enough to deserve better than another first-round playoff exit. Bruce Cassidy has a Stanley Cup, a Jack Adams Award, and no job. David Pagnotta of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reported this week on the Hot Stove program that Cassidy has emerged as a candidate for the Kings' head coaching position. The Kings fired Jim Hiller on March 1, replaced him with interim head coach D.J. Smith for the remainder of the regular season,...
INDEPENDENCE — The Cleveland Cavaliers won Game 3 against the Detroit Pistons, but in a way that their head coach called “unsustainable” 15 minutes after the final buzzer. The next day after practice, he echoed those same sentiments. “I hate to keep bringing up that possession game stat, -14,” Kenny Atknison said about Game 3. […]
Sunday evening’s Game 4 in Minneapolis did not go as planned for the San Antonio Spurs. With 8:39 left in the second quarter, Wemby was ejected when his right elbow hit Reid’s throat. Forgetting for a second that, had it been any other player, the elbow would have landed on Reid’s chest, the foul represents a […]

The New York Knicks are headed back to the Eastern Conference Finals for the second consecutive season after completing a dominating sweep of the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday afternoon.

Things have changed since the transfer portal began, but over the years, Duke has traditionally not brought in a lot of transfers. Naturally, some have done better than others. Roshown McLeod had a nice career at Duke, as did Dahntay Jones, Seth Curry, Ryan Young, and Sion James. If you turn the frame a bit […]
NBA fans often want their general managers to make decisions that, if they were in the same shoes, they may not make themselves. It’s human nature. If you’d been there, he wouldn’t have gotten away with it. You’d have done the brave thing. If I were in charge, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Until […]
Without a game being played, the NBA draft lottery is one of the most impactful days on the NBA calendar. A surefire way to build a championship-caliber team is with picks at the top of the NBA Draft. The Celtics’ success over the past decade has been driven by two top-3 picks. If you survey […]
Joan Cancelo had some harsh words for Al-Hilal after winning La Liga for Barcelona on Sunday night thanks to a 2-0 victory in El Clasico.
