The Blackhawks return to the United Center ice for the first time in two weeks coming off a successful road trip. Connor Bedard is one of the hottest skaters in the entire NHL at the moment, and the Blackhawks have been showing steady improvement in a number of areas.
Waiting for them will be the New Jersey Devils, who enter Wednesday’s action with the best record in the Eastern Conference. Nothing comes easy in the NHL, and this should be a fun, tough test against a really good Devils sq...
In the NFL, context matters. So many things happen over the course of the season, many of which we as fans, and even those in the national media, are not privy to. I don’t like to throw out overused internet fan tropes, but when the Minnesota Vikings aren’t doing well, the “armchair GM’s” get their […]
There are very few authors whose releases I count down the days for. Chuck Klostermann is one of them. Shea Serrano is undeniably the other. I’ve been familiar with Serrano’s work for a while now, his trilogy on basketball, hip-hop Continue reading Book Review: “Expensive Basketball” by Shea Serrano →
To me, there will never be an era in the NBA that replaces the ‘90s. From the players, to the uniforms, to the rivalries, basketball has just never been the same. Sure, we got the NBA on NBC back this year, but Vince Carter, Melo, and T-Mac are no Ahmad Rashad, Marv Albert, or Bob […]
Cleveland Cavaliers All-Star guard Darius Garland was sidelined for multiple playoff games and missed the start of this season due to an injury to his left great toe. He had surgery on his toe this summer. Garland made his season debut last week in the Cavs’ win over the Philadelphia 76ers. He played two more […]
Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Seattle Seahawks defensive back Nick Emmanwori, a rookie who may just be Mike Macdonald’s most valuable versatile weapon over time… which Macdonald had […]
For much of this young 2025-26 season, the Dallas Mavericks have been a complete disaster. The beatings kept coming as morale steadily declined. However, morale is up these days after the news of yesterday, which saw Nico Harrison fired as the team’s general manager. Does that mean the Mavericks can pull their way out of […]
Noa Essengue did exactly what he was supposed to do in his G League debut.
Assigned to the Windy City Bulls on Tuesday, the 18-year-old made the trip up to Oshkosh, Wisconsin, to the affiliate’s second regular-season game of the year. The organization chose to hold him out of the season opener this past weekend, having him travel with the team for their two-game road trip. He failed to appear in either outing, making it 10 straight contests without a second on the court for the No. 12 ove...
The Blackhawks return home from a largely successful road trip to find one of the league’s early front-runners waiting for them, as the New Jersey Devils will be Chicago’s opponent for a national broadcast from the United Center on Wednesday night.
The NHL standings contain a hilarious slog of teams in the middle, with 24 teams occupying spots 5-28 in the league standings that have season totals between 17 and 22 points right now — the Blackhawks among them at 19. New Jersey is just above...
Following the Miami Heat’s most exciting win of the 2025-26 season on Monday, they will again host the Cleveland Cavaliers on the second leg of a back-to-back set between each other. Although it will be a rematch, the Cavs will look drastically different in this one. They are resting both All-Star starters Donovan Mitchell and […]

Joe Torre once said a good manager can add maybe five wins to a team’s total over 162 games, but a bad manager can torpedo an entire season. Last night’s 133-120 Knicks’ win over the Memphis Grizzlies offered two rebuttals to Torre’s take, via a coach whose approach could net his team far more than […]
The Los Angeles Rams are entering “midnight mode” this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. What grade would give the Rams black uniforms as they head into Week 11’s monumental matchup for the division lead between two 7-2 teams? As part of the NFL’s “rivalry uniform” series that started this season with eight teams, the Rams […]
Things keep progressing positively for LeBron James as he prepares for his return to the basketball court. LeBron will now reportedly be practicing with the South Bay Lakers. There appear to be no restrictions on James, as this practice also includes 5-on-5 action. LeBron has yet to make his season debut with the Lakers. He […]
Here’s the latest evidence that the Dallas Mavericks (3-8) need to chuck the two-timeline nonsense out the window and focus on the team’s young core of players. Amid all the torment and injury struggle, all the insincere win-now rhetoric and the roster construction favoring tall men with long arms, one of the only effective offensive […]
Will the Knicks ever lose a game again? Will New Yorkers ever watch their team drop one inside MSG? We don’t know about that, but we surely heard the protagonist of yet another home win talk a bunch in the past few hours. Mike Brown On Ja Morant and the Grizzlies: “[The Grizzlies are] really […]
André Burakovsky was not at the Blackhawks’ morning skate on Wednesday. Head coach Jeff Blashill indicated he’s a game-time decision.
With that in mind — and both Jason Dickinson (who did skate Wednesday morning but isn’t ready to return yet) and Frank Nazar out of the lineup, the Blackhawks need another forward body to fill a lineup.
Blashill said after the morning skate that Landon Slaggert will be recalled and go if Burakovsky cannot.
Blashill also said Slaggert’s time in Roc...
The NBA has announced a change to February’s All-Star format, pitting the best from the US against the world’s top international talent. In the 2026 NBA All-Star Game, two teams of U.S. players and one team of international players (known as the World team) will compete in a round-robin tournament featuring four 12-minute games. The […]
The Portland Trail Blazers look to regain their swagger versus the New Orleans Pelicans on the third game of a five-game road trip. The team rolls into the Crescent City, licking its wounds after dropping two winnable games against the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic. This Pelicans team is banged up and trying to find […]
Another tough loss that could very easily been a win with better execution at the end. Sixers fans are terrible. They trash their team and everyone on it. They were hating on Oubre and wanting him out of the game before he hit that last shot and then suddenly he is clutch. I agree with the comment that the announcers just didn't talk about the game. I really hate that about national games. There is no play by play. Just talking about every...
One of the Seattle Seahawks’ highest profile signings has earned an NFL weekly honor for his historic performance in Week 10. Defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence won the NFC Defensive Player of the Week award after scoring not one, but two fumble return touchdowns in Seattle’s 44-22 blowout over the Arizona Cardinals. Lawrence also recorded a […]
Desperate to snap a three-game skid, the Chicago Bulls will face the same team that kicked off their 5-0 start.
A 4-game road stretch starts tonight in Detroit. ⏰ 6 pm CT 📺 @CHSN__ 📻 @670TheScore 💻 https://t.co/0Gl3hZ96l1 pic.twitter.com/7uGafKmFeV — Chicago Bulls (@chicagobulls) November 12, 2025
While the final score was 115-111, Chicago was in complete control for the majority of that opening night game. They were up by as much as 23 points and outperformed the Pistons...
When the Mavericks announced the firing of General Manager Nico Harrison, it felt as if a storm cloud had finally cleared over the Dallas Mavericks. This came after an utterly miserable 9 months following the Luka trade, filled with anger and resentment. But now we can move forward as Mavericks fans, and begin to look […]
In last night’s 102-100 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Celtics reached clutch minutes for a seventh time this season, tied for the fourth most 5-under-5 situations in the league. Of their five clutch losses, two of which have now come at the hands of the Sixers with their three matchups decided by a total […]
On Monday, ESPN’s Bobby Marks highlighted 12 potential free agents who’ve gotten off to a hot start in the 2025-26 season as his “Contract-Year All-Stars.” He excluded players who’ve previously made an All-Star or All-NBA team, which automatically disqualified the likes of LeBron James, James Harden and Trae Young. That opened the door for two […]
The Seattle Seahawks are adding more depth to their practice squad before their Week 11 showdown with the NFC West rival Los Angeles Rams. Seattle signed rookie defensive tackle Wy’Kevious “Bubba” Thomas to their practice squad, according to a Tuesday post on social media from NFL insider Aaron Wilson. Thomas played his college ball at South […]
