Most people have heard of the five stages of grief. As described by author David Kessler: “The five stages — denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance — are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we […]

Say, whatever happened to those Knicks that were a disgrace to basketball during a 2-9 stretch, which saw them play some of the worst defense the NBA has ever seen? Wait, what do you mean that team has now been the best defense in basketball for six weeks? It’s been a weird year. The Knicks […]
In Today’s Links: Basically, a pretty lean PSR today. Ice cubes and cigarettes. More focus on the 2026 NFL Free Agency period that, at some point, will hit soon. There is plenty of chisme. Plenty of chatter. Just a few more days and we should have a good idea who is coming back. And who […]
Earlier this week, NBA.com released an article talking about this season’s MVP race. Obviously, the race is headlined with names like Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous Alexander, but another player who many fans who aren’t as tuned in to the NBA would not expect has emerged onto the list. That player […]

A few weeks ago the Minnesota Timberwolves were sitting in the six seed, hovering in that uncomfortable place where you’re good enough to believe something bigger might happen, but close enough to the Play-In line that every loss feels like slipping on black ice. After a strong stretch to finish February and begin March, the […]

Before a single possession takes place on the court, the Toronto Raptors are already expected to beat the Dallas Mavericks at home on Sunday. At least that’s what the Raptors fan base believes, especially after being held hostage by exceeded expectations and a timeline that’s regrettably ahead of schedule. Simply put – the NBA’s lone […]

San Antonio has only dropped one of their last 15 games, and it was to the Knicks, another contender that is firing on all cylinders. The success has been […]
Tonight the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs complete their season series. San Antonio leads 2-1, and a win for the Spurs would clinch the tiebreaker, not that it’s likely to matter. This is the first of three difficult games in four days for Houston. To talk about the Spurs, I enlisted the help of […]
The Utah Jazz didn’t have enough to take out the Milwaukee Bucks, who now have Giannis Antetokounmpo back.

First period
The Canadiens are getting zone time, which is a good thing versus a team that often stymies them in the neutral zone. It will be important to get a lead however so the Kings can’t just slip into a defensive formation for the rest of the game.
Kaiden Guhle whacks Alex Laferrière in the face with his stick and will sit for two minutes. If it hadn’t been Guhle, it would have been Mike Matheson for tripping as that pairing got beat once again on this trip.
