For four years, the Edmonton Oilers have spent the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs navigating the Los Angeles Kings and their trap hockey.

Going into his 19th playoff run, it’s remarkable that LeBron James is still capable of breaking records.

Great way to open the playoffs! I love all the coach and GM envy from the Sixers fans. Funny how in the beginning they felt Maxey better than Tatum and Brown but by the end, they think he's trash and want him traded. Even though there is no way they would have gotten Tatum, they will always torture themselves about taking Fultz over Tatum. The racist comments are really getting old. There is no basis for them. My favorites are in bold. ...

In last season’s Game 1 against the Wolves, the Lakers admitted they weren’t prepared for what was awaiting them.

Well, it looks like Kentucky Basketball may be losing Donnie Freeman to Rick Pitino of all people. According to On3’s Pete Nakos, St. John’s has gained momentum in this recruitment after Pitino made an offer to Freeman that’s bigger than what Kentucky is currently offering. “Rick Pitino and the Johnnies have the edge at this […]

After a feel-good Game One victory on Saturday, the Knicks are set to host the Hawks again at MSG tonight in Game Two of their Eastern Conference first-round series.
