While everyone constantly argues about officiating and calls in basketball, the goaltending rule feels pretty clear. A defender can not touch the ball on its descent or interfere with the rim. So, in the third quarter of the Lakers-Celtics matchup, when Neemias Queta stuck his entire hand through the basket on a Deandre Ayton shot […]

Within the Nets’ organization, player development is a priority. When you’re rebuilding, it has to be. That’s a given. But it’s not just about the obvious development track. Whether a rookie or veteran enters the building, growth is prioritized — especially from within. While the focus is rightly on the Flatbush Five, the Long Island […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have won 5 of their last 7 games as they continue to flirt with a .500 record, standing at 28-30. However, one of those losses was an embarrassing 157-103 beatdown to the Denver Nuggets on Friday, and Portland All-Star Deni Avdija’s ailing back continues to pose problems. It would seem for […]
The NBA season has reached its home stretch, with important storylines left to follow. Many teams will use their remaining games to get healthy, as injuries remain a defining factor around the league. Others need time to gel, especially those who made moves at the deadline. The most obvious example is Cleveland adding Harden, which […]
As the Portland Trail Blazers face the Minnesota Timberwolves this evening, they also have to face the reality that Minnesota is a legitimate, if dark horse, contender for the Western Conference Championship this season.

There is an artistry in sports. The physics-defying Michael Jordan hanging in the air in the NBA. The dizzying jukes of Barry Sanders weaving through defenders in the NFL. The graceful moves of Wayne Gretzky on a breakaway. There are a lot of beautiful things about baseball, but one of the most aesthetically pleasing things […]
