The Dallas Mavericks continue to lose, this time in a 138-131 overtime thriller to the Los Angeles Clippers. Darius Garland had a savant performance, pouring in 41 points and 11 assists. Kawhi Leonard also had a great performance, scoring 34 points on just 22 shots. The Mavericks almost pulled off the upset, but were eventually […]
Luka Dončić is one of the premier trash talkers in the NBA, whether it’s with players on the court or fans in the stands. However, things may have crossed a line on Saturday. During the third quarter of the Lakers’ game against the Magic, Luka and Orlando center Goga Bitadze had a back-and-forth that clearly […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-48) turned what looked like a third-quarter collapse at American Airlines Center on Saturday, into yet another clutch game down the stretch, and ultimately, an overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers (35-36). The Mavericks had no answer for the duo of Kahwi Leonard (34 points) and Darius Garland (41 points) in […]
LeBron James becomes the NBA’s all-time leader in games played, surpassing Robert Parish with his 1,612th appearance, further cementing his legacy of longevity and excellence.
On a night when offense came at a premium for the Lakers, Luke Kennard stepped up when it mattered most. Kennard buried a game-winning 3-pointer with 0.6 seconds left to give the Lakers a 105-104 win and extend their win streak to nine games. LA flew out of the gate to start the game, scoring […]
Dodgers major leaguers are done with the Arizona portion of spring training, but there’s one more game at Camelback Ranch, with Dodgers prospects taking on White Sox prospects in the spring breakout game. Spring breakout game info
Among two games that won’t count, the more interesting contest pits top White Sox prospects at the top Dodgers prospects, held conveniently enough at Camelback Ranch. Ostensibly this roster represents the top players in every organization, and thus it stands to reason that the best at each position are starting in this game. See if […]
Enjoy these short games while they last, because this one could have gone on for hours. The A’s and Dodgers ended their Saturday afternoon contest in a tie, finishing the game after nine innings of work and tying 5-5 uner the hot sun. Who wanted those extra innings anyway? More to come…
The Dallas Mavericks (23-47) are home for the second straight game Saturday night, playing the Los Angeles Clippers (34-36). Dallas has been off for two days following a home loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The Clippers have slid under .500 after losing four straight, the most recent to the New Orleans Pelicans. They really need […]
The Dodgers on Saturday tied the Athletics 5-5 in nine innings at Camelback Ranch to close out the Arizona portion of their spring training. What a way to make a living. It marked the first Dodgers tie in 756 days, since February 24, 2024 against the Angels. Emmet Sheehan and Justin Wrobleski are both ticketed […]
As the old saying goes, the best ability is availability. If there was ever a player who could be afforded some leeway on his availability, it would be a 41-year-old LeBron James in his 23rd season in the NBA. However, while LeBron has missed games this season, they’ve been a result of an injury and […]
Getaway day for the Dodgers on Saturday morning in Arizona. Emmet Sheehan is on the mound, Will Klein is also scheduled to pitch, and the starting lineup has four players who will be on the opening day roster. Saturday game info
The Los Angeles Rams will have a full slate of seven picks in next month’s NFL Draft, though because of their recent wheeling and dealing they strangely are light on picks in the middle rounds: Could LA look to trade down from their second and third round picks in order to acquire more opportunities in […]
The San Jose Sharks are getting ready to play another hot team today as the Philadelphia Flyers roll into town. The Flyers have won six in a row on the road, and are wrapping up the California swing with a stop in San Jose. The first two stops went well for the Flyers, a 3-2 overtime win over the Anaheim Ducks and a 4-3 shootout win over the Los Angeles Kings. While the Sharks appreciate the help in the playoff picture, the team would like to prevent the California sweep today. The last t...
Quick turn around for our boys as they go from ending last night’s game around 9 P.M. to first pitch today at 11:05 A.M. Ready for another exhibition contest for your Saturday morning? The A’s will go with left-hander Jacob Lopez today. He’s been brought along slowly this spring because of that elbow but it […]
If the biggest talking point from the Lakers current 8-game winning streak is the unrelenting brilliance of Luka Dončić as he scorches every defense in his path, the second most discussed topic is LeBron James and his buying into a “smaller role” for the benefit of the Lakers. Listen to most any talking head speak […]
After six weeks in Arizona, the Dodgers return home to Southern California to finish up their exhibition season with the Freeway Series against the Angels. First up is a game in Anaheim on Sunday night at Angel Stadium. Tyler Glasnow takes the hill in his final spring tuneup for the regular season, which for the […]

In 2022, the “It’s not my Moneyball” series was created in response to the lockout imposed by the owners that disrupted Spring Training and arguably cost Clayton Kershaw a perfect game in Minneapolis (I had fun). As the season starts, the World Baseball Classic concludes, we must revive this series as trouble looms in the […]
Although the Los Angeles Rams appear content to grow with starting offensive tackles Alaric Jackson and Warren McClendon, the roster shows a dearth of talent in the backups. There also appears to be a numbers problem with only retread David Quessenberry and perennial special teamer AJ Arcuri as the only backup tackles. L.A. will have […]
They say Spring Training results do not matter, but you still do not want to lose two games on the same day to divisional opponents. That is what the San Diego Padres did by losing to the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies in split squad matchups at Camelback Ranch and the Peoria Sports […]
The Los Angeles Rams added Terrance Ferguson via the draft last year, and he showed some real flashes as a tight end as a rookie, but he also wasn’t always the best tight end on the team. Will Ferguson take a big leap in 2026? Being a rookie in the NFL is hard, I’ve heard […]
Roki Sasaki has struggled with command this spring training, all while adding new pitches to his repertoire. The Dodgers have been exceedingly patient with the 24-year-old right-hander, insisting all spring that he will start the season in the starting rotation, rather than get optioned to the minors to continue his work in progress. Bill Plunkett […]
The Los Angeles Dodgers are making a farce of the league. After winning back-to-back championships on the back of impossibly stacked rosters, they gave the best free agent on the market almost as much guaranteed money over the next four years than the White Sox, Guardians, and Marlins’ entire 2026 team payrolls combined. It is […]
