For the first time all season, we’re seeing the version of the Celtics everyone has been waiting for. So far, so good. That was the first impression when Jayson Tatum stepped back on the floor after nearly 10 months away. After Sunday’s win against Cleveland, Joe Mazzulla said Tatum “gave the game exactly what it […]

It looked like the Boston Celtics were primed for the first season of a soft rebuild this season, largely due to a bloated salary sheet and the devestating Achilles injury suffered by franchise star Jayson Tatum. The expectations were that the Celtics were going to be a good not great team this year with a […]
As has been pretty much expected for weeks, the Seattle Seahawks will need a new starting running back following the free agent departure of Kenneth Walker III. The Super Bowl MVP—we’re obligated to remind everyone that the Seahawks won the Super Bowl—signed a lucrative contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, who need all the running […]
The Utah Jazz beat the Golden State Warriors in a game they really needed to lose 119-116. The first thing that needs to be said here is that the Golden State Warriors are pathetic from top to bottom. It starts with Steve Kerr, who decided to whine after the game was over about the number […]
Auditions for next year’s roster continued in earnest Monday night when the shorthanded Utah Jazz took on the equally decimated Golden State Warriors at the Delta Center. News surfaced earlier that day that the Jazz released guard Vince Williams Jr, adding more incentive for players like Elijah Harkless, Blake Hinson, Oscar Tshiebwe and Cody Williams […]
Still smarting from the previous day’s drubbing by the Lakers, the Knicks (41*-25) bounced over to the Intuit Dome to challenge the LA Clippers (32-32). Redemption was not in the cards, however. The visitors spent most of the night digging out of holes they had dug themselves. 20 turnovers, cold shooting, and long Clippers runs […]

In an interview with podcaster Emily Austin last week, Michael Porter Jr. spoke about how he’s enjoying his time with the Nets … which he’s said before. He also spoke about his relationship with Andrew Tate, accused sex trafficker and self-described misogynist, which he’s also done before … unfortunately. Here’s all 73 (not necessarily) fun […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers cruised to an easy 115-101 win over a shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers team. “The beauty of it is we got another one tomorrow,” is how James Harden ended his media scrum after Sunday’s disappointing loss to the Boston Celtics. The Cavs didn’t make up for that performance, but this was a […]
The first day of the NFL’s free agency legal tampering period brought big headlines to the NFC West. The Los Angeles Rams broke the ice late last week when they unofficially completed their trade for ex-Kansas City Chiefs corner Trent McDuffie and then signed him to a massive contract extension. Since then the dominoes continue […]

The Minnesota Vikings were not big players in the first day of the ‘legal tampering period’ which has become essentially the first day of free agency as a torrent of deals are announced. The Vikings did make some big splashes in free agency last year, and the dead cap hits to clear those moves is […]
Portland Trail Blazers All-Star forward Deni Avdija isn’t listed on the team’s injury report ahead of Tuesday’s matchup against the Charlotte Hornets at the Moda Center. Following a six-game absence due to a lingering back injury, Avdija returned to the lineup during Portland’s 131-111 win over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday. In 25 minutes, Avdija […]
The Brooklyn Nets picked up their second win in a row tonight, and while they played winning basketball by all accounts, it felt like the Memphis Grizzlies set it down on the ground for them and walked away. The Nets held Michael Porter Jr. out tonight for rest. They also started Drake Powell, who spent […]

James Harden 21 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds, 29 minutes Chef Harden was cooking tonight. This was one of those games where Harden felt two steps ahead of the defense. His step-back jumpers and dimes to […]
Being the starting center of the Lakers is always going to bring an inherent pressure with it. After embracing that pressure coming into the season, Deandre Ayton has faded into the background. With each subpar game, the focus on him intensifies. Recently, those games have come with more frequency for Ayton. Sunday, though, was a […]
Timing is important in the NBA. Teams that are and aren’t playoff-bound are fairly easy to discern after about 20 to 30 regular-season games. Who is and isn’t a contender is also largely well known by about the same point. There’s jostling for seeding and homecourt advantage, but what’s important for teams looking to make […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers handled their business against a shorthanded Philadelphia 76ers team that was missing their four best players. The Cavs took the lead at the end of the first quarter, stretched the advantage to 25 in the third, and settled for a 115-105 victory. This was a complete team victory. The Cavs […]
