The Portland Trail Blazers have been as expected through the first two weeks of the season. A solid defensive squad with questions on the offensive end. Fortunately, the Blazers have been able to keep the scoreboard ticking over with contributions from Deni Avdija, Shaedon Sharpe, Jrue Holiday and Jerami Grant. The latter, the hero of […]
Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone spoke to the media after watching his team cruise to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sevilla with goals from Julián Alvarez, Thiago Almada and Antoine Griezmann. After the victory, Simeone was quizzed on whether he was excited about how this season could end for Atlético in light of the recent […]
Chicago’s sojourn through Canada continues this weekend as the Blackhawks face off against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. It’s a similar Cup-or-bust season for the Oilers, who lost in six games to the Florida Panthers in last summer’s after losing in seven games to the same Panthers in 2024. With Sasha Barkov out for the season in Sunrise, though, the possibility of Edmonton finally summiting the top of the hockey world seems more real than ever. And it’s largel...
Sunday afternoon’s battle doesn’t carry quite the same gravity as last year’s Week 18 clash for the NFC’s top seed. Still, coming off the bye — with the Minnesota Vikings returning to their planned starting quarterback of the future, J.J. McCarthy, and getting healthier across the board — this becomes a pivotal home game for […]
Stuart Skinner stood in front of reporters as the Chicago Blackhawks rolled into Rogers Place and declared that the Edmonton Oilers are fine. He’s happy with how his game has been growing this season. Everything’s trending in the right direction. No need to worry. The question is whether anyone should actually believe him. Skinner has…
The Portland Trail Blazers have assigned rookie center Yang Hansen to the Rip City Remix for scheduled practices, the organization announced on Saturday. The Rose Garden Report’s Sean Highkin reported this assignment will just be for weekend duty, and it won’t overlap with any Trail Blazers games. I’m told the Blazers are assigning Yang Hansen […]

The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up for their post-bye week run toward a return to the playoffs and a return to the top of the NFC West throne. They’re 5-2 and hold a tiebreaker edge on the Los Angeles Rams and a half-game advantage on the San Francisco 49ers, which tells you that this is […]
Life Without Ant: Minnesota’s Gut Check Week It’s been over a week since Timberwolves fans have been able to watch Anthony Edwards play a full game of basketball, and yes, that sentence already feels like a small tragedy. Edwards barely made it through three and a half minutes against Indiana before that hamstring said, “nah, […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have their signature win of the early 2025-26 NBA season — a gritty, improbable, come-from-behind, last-second 109-107 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night at home. It came against the perennial-contending Nuggets, despite a big-time 21-point, 14-rebound, nine-assist performance from perennial MVP candidate Nikola Jokic. It happened on a night […]
I am looking forward to seeing JJ McCarthy play but I feel it is going to get ugly early. The game day threads should be glorious! If the team loses which almost everyone is predicting, then the “season is over” crowd will be out in full force and with fairly good reason. I will not […]
On this Daylight Savings Time weekend, the Chicago Blackhawks have been rolling back the clocks 18 years with their better-than-anticipated start. Back in 2007-08, those young Hawks were not the dynasty team they’d become yet. But this year’s team and that team won five of their first 11 games, as the 07-08 Hawks took big…
MMBets: How to Wager the Mavericks and Pistons in Mexico City Can the Mavs snap Detroit’s early-season momentum south of the border? The Dallas Mavericks (2–3) face off against the Detroit Pistons (3–2) tonight in Mexico City, tipping off at 9:00 PM CT. While the neutral-court setup adds some intrigue, this game also presents a […]
The last time the Chicago Bulls were 5-0, Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen were headed full steam ahead toward their fifth NBA championship. Ridiculous. On the one hand, I have no clue what is going on. The Chicago Bulls were viewed by almost everyone as one of the NBA’s retooling bottom feeders. They were projected to finish with a win total in the low 30s and possibly miss the Play-In Tournament altogether. In that sense, a 5-0 start is absolutely mind-boggling, especially when we co...
The San Antonio Spurs are one of three undefeated teams left and are on a franchise-best opening five-game win streak. They are missing key rotation players such as All-Star De’Aaron Fox, plus backup big men Kelly Olynyk and Luke Kornet. Still, it’s irresistible to think about what the margin of victory could be if the […]
Good win for the Celtics but I wish they would stop giving up big leads. Sixers fans trash their own players so much. So wishy washy - one minute they love a player and the next that same player is trash. A lot of fans from every team are hating this new TV deal from the NBA. I love how they complained about the refs giving the Celtics the game when they shot 29 free throws to just 12 for the Celtics. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? &nbs...
Welcome to the big game. Normally, we’d be quite confident of beating Spurs, regardless of circumstance. This time however, that notion feels a bit (a lot?) more tenuous. Hopefully I’m proven wrong. Enzo Maresca has made a couple changes from last weekend, with Wesley Fofana and Malo Gusto coming in to the side — we’ll […]
#1 – Jaylen Brown post-ups: On the night the Celtics got back to .500 and opened NBA Cup play 1-0, the first thing that stood out to me in the opening quarter was how Jaylen Brown was being used. Jaylen has been excellent to start the year as our number one option, averaging 27.7 PPG […]
Noah Clowney remains one of the youngest players in the NBA. Just turning 21 this summer, Clowney is younger than half the players taken in the 2025 NBA Draft. He also bulked up significantly this summer, his body only enhancing his potential, potential first seen when he burst on the scene at the end of […]
The Knicks don’t seem to know how to win away from MSG to save their collective life. New York is 2-0 at home and 0-3 on the road. How ‘bout them trips!? Here’s some transcribed soundbites for your enjoyment (or not) as the NBA takes over Mexico City for Día de Muertos. Mike Brown On […]
The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Indiana Pacers in their first game of the NBA Cup on Friday night, bringing their regular season record to an even 3-3 as the calendar flips to November. Jalen Johnson led the way for Atlanta with 22 points (9-for-16 shooting, 0-for-3 from three), 13 rebounds, and eight assists. Nickeil Alexander-Walker […]
The Virginia Cavaliers are favored to pick up their seventh consecutive win on Saturday when they kickoff against the California Golden Bears. Coming off its third overtime win in eight games, Tony Elliott’s squad is set as a 5.5 point favorite on the road in Berkeley according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under for Saturday’s matchup […]
