Hansi Flick and Raphinha both missed being in the thick of things during El Clasico on Sunday. The Barcelona boss was forced to watch the action in the stands due to a touchline ban, while injury meant that Raphinha had to sit the game out. The duo were quick to respond to Barca’s defeat and […]

Many of us […]

The Lakers may need 60 points from Austin Reaves on Monday to earn back-to-back wins. After heading into Sunday’s game shorthanded with injuries piling up, the Lakers saw Gabe Vincent exit with a sprained ankle during the second half.

Welcome to Week 2 of NBA play. Lots of things are going on around the NBA, with gambling being a major issue. The Lakers are 2-1 after the first week and the No. 4 seed. The Lakers are still without LeBron James and Luka Dončić, as well as Adou Thero, Jaxson Hayes, Maxi Kleber, and […]
Mark Aguirre, one of the first faces of the Dallas Mavericks franchise, will finally be able to watch his jersey lifted to the rafters at American Airlines Center.

Even as the biggest news of late in the sports world is the gambling/rigging/literally-the-mafia-connected NBA scandal , it’s not as if the other major professional sports leagues have been untouched by sports betting-related concerns in recent years. In Major League Baseball, for example, you had the friend and interpreter for the sport’s biggest star going to prison for crimes related to a sports betting operation, funded primarily by stealing from Shohei Ohtani. More recently, Guardian...

After watching the Celtics fall to 0-3 on the season, I tweeted what I thought was a straightforward and fairly innocuous post Sunday evening. “It’s not time to panic, but it is time to officially be concerned about the Celtics.” Pretty tame, right? Not quite. The responses were civil (a rarity on X these days), […]
The Boston Celtics’ early-season struggles continued last night, as they dropped their third straight game in a 119–113 loss to the Detroit Pistons. Boston entered the matchup ranked 29th in the league in defensive rebounding percentage (61.5%) and left at the bottom of the standings after allowing 18 offensive boards. The lack of control on […]
The Rip City Remix have traded for South Bay Lakers forward Dillon Jones. The 23-year-old played 54 games with the Oklahoma City Thunder last season, starting 3. He averaged 2.5 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 1.1 assists in 10.2 minutes per appearance. Before joining the NBA, Jones was a four-year played at Weber State, the alma […]
Welcome to the Week in Review: a Monday feature that looks back at the week that was for the San Antonio Spurs, takes a look at the week ahead, and more. Enjoy! Usually we start with a reminder of how last week went, but we didn’t have a Week 0 post. Long story short, they went […]
Off to a 1-2 start to the 2025-26 NBA season, the Portland Trail Blazers might not exactly be appointment TV for basketball viewers. Despite the record, though, Portland has played a fast, tough style, both uniting and delighting Blazers fans. All of that is likely to come to an early-season head tonight as Portland faces […]
In case it wasn’t already obvious, it’s now clear why Austin Reaves turned down the Lakers’ four-year, $89.2 million extension this past offseason. Reaves was already off to a phenomenal start this season with 50 points, 20 assists, 12 rebounds and a trio of three-pointers across his first two games. But with both Luka Dončić […]
The Dallas Mavericks (1-2) host the Oklahoma City Thunder (3-0) tonight at 7:30 PM at the American Airlines Center. Can the Mavs balance their record at 2-2 or will the defending champs remain undefeated? Dallas notched its first win with a 139-129 victory over the Toronto Raptors. In what should be an early-season measuring stick […]
Barcelona forward Marcus Rashford has sent out a message after Sunday’s defeat to Real Madrid in El Clasico left Hansi Flick’s side five points behind Los Blancos at the top of the table. Rashford grabbed an assist in the game but couldn’t prevent the hosts from taking all three points at the Santiago Bernabeu. He’s […]
The NBA has sent a memo to its 30 franchises detailing its reaction to the betting scandal that rocked the league last week, resulting in federal arrests of Portland Trail Blazers Head Coach Chauncey Billups and Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier. Shams Charania of ESPN relayed the text of the memo via X. Given the […]
Beleaguered Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups has barely been seen in public since he was arrested and arraigned last Thursday. Long-time friend and former boss Tyronn Lue told media, before the Blazers took on the Los Angeles Clippers, that Billups was alright, considering the circumstances. When you’ve known somebody so long, you can just […]
On Sunday night in downtown Minneapolis, the Minnesota Timberwolves opened their home schedule with a 114-110 win over the Indiana Pacers. Given the Pacers’ lengthy injury report, it was a game the Wolves needed to win. Despite Anthony Edwards playing just over three minutes, leaving the game with right hamstring tightness, the Timberwolves found a […]
The rest of the NFC West was on bye, and no one had to lift a finger to put the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams into first place. All the 49ers had to do was lose to the Houston Texans 26-15. I know some will comment how the Seahawks manhandled the Texans last week, […]
So much complaining about the officials and how they favor the Celtics. The refs have a funny way of favoring the Celtics by giving Detroit 36 free throws to 24 for the Celtics. If every Celtic gave the effort of Payton Pritchard on the boards, the Celtics would be a lot better. Shortest guy on the court led the team in rebounds. On to New Orleans and hopefully a win. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? This needs to be a win. Home opener, ...
