Your 3-0 Philadelphia 76ers took their unbeaten record on the road Tuesday night to take on the Washington Wizards. The Sixers were still without the services of Jared McCain and Paul George, but Tuesday night would be the Sixers debut for Trendon Watford, who is back after dealing with a hamstring injury that had sidelined […]

But we do it anyway. […]
The Utah Mammoth have been such a welcome addition to the Beehive State. For a state that has a very small and limited history with the sport, seeing the team explode within our communities has been a pleasant experience.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — My does this team have a lot of fight in them.

They had three wins at Thanksgiving last season. Tyrese Maxey used a […]
Few scandals have blossomed so dramatically, or had such an immediate impact, as Portland Trail Blazers Head Coach Chauncey Billups being arrested last week for participating in an illegal gambling ring. Billups was suspended by the NBA within hours. The Trail Blazers had named assistant Tiago Splitter as their new acting head coach before twilight […]
The already shorthanded Cleveland Cavaliers will be without the services of one of their breakout players for Wednesday’s national TV showdown against the Boston Celtics. Standout guard Sam Merrill joins Darius Garland (toe) and Max Strus (broken foot) on the injury report. All three have been ruled out of Wednesday’s contest. Merrill will be missing […]
You’ll notice that the subhead here says “a week of dreadful Nets basketball” and not “a dreadful week of Nets basketball.” Many, including myself, will argue that losing these basketball games as the 0-4 Brooklyn Nets have done so far benefits their long-term goals, which is to say, the tank is off to a terrific […]

After losing to the Denver Nuggets for the first time since November of 2023, the Minnesota Timberwolves look to bounce back against a shorthanded Los […]
Folks, I think we’re getting to the time that we need to have a conversation about Blackhawks prospect Nick Lardis . Lardis was mentioned by Steven Ellis at Daily Faceoff as one of the five AHL prospects who are tearing it up to start the year on Tuesday. And with good reason: the start of his professional career has been as good — better? — than we could have hoped. The IceHogs had a late-morning start on Tuesday and it went quite well against the Wolves in Rosemont. Lardis scored t...
