The World Baseball Classic officially got underway last night with the first game in the Tokyo Dome that featured Chinese Taipei and Australia. There are a couple of lower-level Phillies prospects on Team Australia, but most of the names you would recognize won’t start official WBC play until tomorrow. Meanwhile, we still have plenty of […]
Oh, man, am I ready for the Spurs to be home. Probably not as ready as they are after all the time on the road, but excited all the same. The Rodeo Road Trip was a huge success and nearly perfect, sans the loss in Madison Square Garden. That said, following up the loss with […]
The 2026 Unrivaled championship final lived up to the hype. We had incredible performances by the league’s biggest stars, with Breanna Stewart stepping up for Mist and Kelsey Plum putting on a show for Phantom. And in the end, Mist came out on top, beating Phantom 80-74. The final play was anticlimactic, with Stewart winning […]
1. Lack of Effort Coming off a blowout win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, the Celtics got a taste of their own medicine against the Charlotte Hornets, getting crushed 118-89. This game was a rough watch all the way around. It felt like the Hornets had a 20+ point lead in this game from […]
Kentucky is reportedly showing interest in 6-foot-7 point guard Dink Pate, as head coach Mark Pope was spotted in Philadelphia on Wednesday morning to watch Pate play for the Westchester Knicks against the Delaware Blue Coats. Originally part of the 2023 recruiting class, Pate has spent the last three years playing in the NBA G-League, […]
The Houston Rockets’ final opportunity to add an external contributor comes by way of the buyout market, which is currently underway. (Well, quality contributors who haven’t been unrestricted free agents all season, that is.) The deadline for teams to waive players was Sunday, March 1. Will the Rockets be active? We’d heard a significant amount […]
It’s been 26 days since the Spurs last played in their home venue of the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio, TX. Sure, they had a couple of “home” games in Austin to break up the annual Rodeo Road Trip a bit, but that still counts as travel and not sleeping in their own beds, […]
The Denver Nuggets have not exactly inspired confidence since the all-star break. They are 5-5 in their last ten games and have… The post Preview: Denver Nuggets take on Los Angeles Lakers in primetime appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
This is the big one. The Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards. Scroll all the way down the NBA standings, and you should be able to find these teams representing some of the very worst either conference has to offer. It’s an elderly goldfish vs a geriatric turtle. It’s coughing baby vs sneezing baby. It’s the […]
As the rumors and signs that Kyler Murray may sign with the Minnesota Vikings after he is released next week by the Arizona Cardinals heat up (the Vikings are the clear favorite to land Murray in betting markets), questions arise about Murray and his fit with the Vikings’ offense, his commitment to his craft, and […]
BOSTON — For the first time in two years, when Xavier Tillman took the TD Garden parquet for his pregame shooting, he wasn’t donning Celtics green. Instead, the 26-year-old forward wore Hornets blue, making his return to Boston for the first time since he was unexpectedly traded to the Charlotte Hornets last month. And, from […]
The Utah Jazz fell short against the Sixers, 106-102. For the most part, it was a duel between Keyonte George and Tyrese Maxey. George scored 30 points on 10/24 shooting from the field (41.7%) and 5/11 (45.5%) from three. It was very clear that Keyonte George was the equal of Tyrese Maxey, if not better. […]
For the second time this week, the Milwaukee Bucks blew a 16-point first-half lead and ended up getting blown out, this time to the Atlanta Hawks at Fiserv Forum, dealing a serious blow to their play-in hopes. Their losing streak is now at four games, and their average margin of defeat has been 24.2. Giannis […]
The Atlanta Hawks were in Milwaukee on Wednesday night to face the Bucks. The Hawks, winners of four straight coming into this game, were looking to continue that streak against a Bucks team that has not played well this season. This was also a big game as far as standings and lottery odds implications. The […]
Much like Monday night’s game, tonight will be another test for the Houston Rockets as they take on a Golden State Warriors team that is decimated by injuries. Houston might have some injuries of their own, too. The Warriors have, of course, had Houston’s number in recent years and have even beaten the Rockets when […]
The Portland Trail Blazers got back on track in NBA action tonight, grounding the Memphis Grizzlies 122-114. Jrue Holiday led the way with 35 points, followed by Jerami Grant with 30.

Barcelona may have lost to Atletico Madrid 4-3 on aggregate in the Copa del Rey but the team is feeling positive after the two semi-finals, There’s a chance the two teams could meet again over two legs in the Champions League quarter-finals. Barcelona must first beat Newcastle, while Atletico have to overcome Tottenham. If they […]
The Portland Trail Blazers got a much-needed 122-114 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night. After tough losses in Charlotte and Atlanta over the weekend, the Blazers found some offensive rhythm against the undersized Grizzlies. Jrue Holiday led the way with 35 points, including a scorching 8-11 from behind the three-point arc. Jerami Grant […]

Start time and TV schedule Who: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Denver Nuggets When: 7 p.m. PT, Mar 5 Where: Ball Arena Watch: Prime Video, […]
It certainly seemed like Utah was going to run away with it in Philadelphia, leading for most of the fourth quarter before the home Sixers slipped ahead to win 106-102. Utah maintains its tank race momentum (phew), and Philly advances without the services of Joel Embiid, but what’s new? Well… Mo Bamba – A It […]
The Charlotte Hornets continued their demolition of the entire NBA with a thorough end to end beatdown of the Boston Celtics, 118-89. The Summary LaMelo Ball banged two triples and scored eight quick points to give the Hornets an early lead. Kon Knueppel broke out of his mini-slump and joined the party. Coby White chipped […] The post Recap/Analysis: Hornets demolish Celtics for tenth straight road win first appeared on At The Hive .
The New York Knicks (40*-23) hosted the Oklahoma City Thunder (44-19) at Madison Square Garden tonight in a tight, uneven game played with tired legs. Both teams were on the second night of back-to-backs, and the fatigue showed at the end of this workout. The Thunder controlled the first half behind Chet Holmgren’s hot shooting, […]
After getting benched in the Lakers’ playoff series last year, most assumed Jaxson Hayes’ playing days in LA were done. Not only did Hayes return on a one-year deal, but he also prepared in the summer to be a better version of himself. He put on 20 pounds to give himself some more strength, and […]
