Latest blog entries about NBA
As I mentioned yesterday, I have been stuck indoors with a cold. I thought it best to hunker down on the couch and watch the second half of Saturday night’s Spurs/Pelicans game (yay!) and then a bunch of movies. I decided to focus on basketball flicks and add on to the “basketball movie of the […]
The latest Chiefs-Seahawks trade rumor details near deadline deal between Kansas City and Seattle | Sporting News According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Seattle and Kansas City were close on a trade that centered around Seahawks linebacker Boye Mafe, who was the subject of trade rumors before deadline day. However, despite the fact that it was believed something would […]
A blowout victory was just what the Detroit Lions needed to right the ship. The difference between this week versus the Washington Commanders and last week versus the Minnesota Vikings was night and day. The week prior, little was working with the Lions offense. Jared Goff was under duress for most of the night and […]
ORLANDO — Anfernee Simons played just two minutes in the first half of Friday’s 123-110 loss to the Orlando Magic. The Celtics were outscored by 11 in that stretch, and Joe Mazzulla opted to give Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez more extended run. Afterwards, Simons was gracious about his benching. “J-Walsh and Hugo came in […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins closed out a back-to-back set on Sunday afternoon, hosting the Los Angeles Kings. Of note, it was highly touted goalie prospect Sergei Murashov’s NHL debut. The Kings came out as the victors in what was a 3-2 win over Pittsburgh. [Highlights] Despite the […]
Reed Sheppard is starting to reverse the all-too-early concocted narrative on him as an NBA player. It’s still early in the season (and his NBA career) but we can’t ignore what he’s been doing of late, and what’s been said about him. He was written off long ago. Dating back to his rookie season, we’ve […]
Luka Garza’s first ten games as a Boston Celtic have had some ups and some downs. That is to be expected from a player on his third team in five years and has never had a regular rotation role. In fact, before Sunday night, Garza only had one game where he was a positive in […]
Often mocked as perennial Play-In Tournament participants, perhaps no one in the league is more familiar with being a middling team hovering around .500 than the Chicago Bulls. Despite this, the Bulls have shown a strong start to the season, propelled by their young guard, Josh Giddey, who is listed as questionable after an ankle […]
The Seattle Seahawks have crafted a new winning template. It might drive you a little bonkers in a different way that the old Seahawks did, but who’s to say which way is better? I am. I will say. The new way is better. So you have to take a nap in the second half? Boo […]
ORLANDO — Normally, when Jordan Walsh plays the entire fourth quarter, it means the game is out of reach. Just a week ago, in a blowout Celtics loss to the Houston Rockets, Walsh played all 12 fourth-quarter minutes, running around and getting up shots against the Rockets’ two-way players. But this time, Walsh’s fourth-quarter minutes […]
After winning their last three matches by a 2+ goal margin, the signs pointed toward a comfortable victory for Atlético Madrid in Saturday’s match vs. Levante. Instead, the Granotas proved to be a rather stubborn test for Diego Simeone’s side, who, after conceding an early own goal, immediately responded by levelling proceedings via Atleti academy […]
The Seattle Seahawks defense went the entire season without forcing an opposition fumble. They ended that drought in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals, turning not one but two forced fumbles into touchdowns. Both involved the same players: Tyrice Knight on the strip-sack of Jacoby Brissett, DeMarcus Lawrence running the ball back for six points. […]

Also known as the Leevi Merilainen redemption game
Let’s play a game of fill in the blank. “Don’t overreact. The season is still young. The Dallas Mavericks have only played (insert your number here) games so far—so there is still time to turn things around.” What is your number? Is it 5, 15, 30? I have always believed that by the time an […]
The Seattle Seahawks just doubled up the Arizona Cardinals 44-22 at Lumen Field to move to 7-2, and face a second consecutive NFC West matchup in Week 11. Their opponent? The 7-2 Los Angeles Rams, who also won a laugher, hammering the San Francisco 49ers 42-26 in Santa Clara. This game has huge implications on […]
The Long Island Nets returned to the Nassau Coliseum court on Sunday afternoon for their second of two games with the Capital City Go Go, the Wizards G League affiliate. Long Island opened its season with a win on Friday night but despite another very competitive game, lightning didn’t strike twice as Long Island fell […]
After an embarrassing loss to the Spurs in their first NBA Cup game, the Rockets needed to cleanse their pallet and get back to doing the things that help them win ball games. Early on against the Bucks it didn’t look like that was going to happen. The Rockets have struggled at times to defend […]
Despite the schedule, it still sucks to lose the Andre Drummond two three-pointers made game. The Sixers wrapped up their throwback weekend with an 111-108 loss to the Detroit Pistons Sunday night. Tyrese Maxey didn’t have his most efficient night, but still managed to drop 33 to lead all scorers, shooting 10-of-26 from the field […]

In news that is surprising to nobody, NBA officials got a call wrong in the Portland Trail Blazers / Miami Heat game in which Portland lost to a Heat roster missing its most important players. Slightly more surprising: officials admitted they got one wrong. In the NBA Officials’ Last Two Minute (L2M) report for last […]

The Los Angeles Rams (7-2) open as favorites at -2.5 points on FanDuel over the Seattle Seahawks (7-2) in Week 11 of the NFL season. The Seahawks travel to L.A. for this game and that is likely why the Rams are favored as Seattle has looked like one of the most dominant teams in the […]
