The Knicks are a good team. They may not always look or play like it. But they are. At 37-21, they have a top-five record in the league, have a top-three offense, a defense that has been on the cusp of being top 10 in defensive rating, and remain top five in net rating as […]
A lot can change in 12 years. As we know, “12” is a very significant number for the Seattle Seahawks and its fanbase, the “12s.” Quite fitting that the Seahawks won their second Super Bowl in franchise history after a 12-year wait. This one had a different feeling for me than the first for many […]
The Toronto Raptors hit the ground running coming off the All-Star break, with road wins against Chicago and Milwaukee. Now, they return to Toronto to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are a league-best 44-14. The Raptors won 103-101 in January when they last took on the defending champs. This time around they’ll face […]
The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl playing high-level football on both sides of the ball. Sustaining that standard, however, requires difficult decisions — and few are more important than replacing Klint Kubiak at offensive coordinator. In this piece, we’ll lay out both sides of the argument: why there are reasons to believe in Brian […]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the Sixers own a first-round pick in the loaded 2026 NBA Draft. It’ll probably land somewhere in the 20s, but even there, it opens up plenty of options. That flexibility is likely part of why Daryl Morey made the Jared McCain move in the first place. […]
The Real Forno Show dives into the Minnesota Vikings’ 2026 NFL Scouting Combine plans on this Vikings 1st & SKOL production. Host Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano deliver sharp analysis on why Kevin O’Connell and Rob Brzezinski are skipping the main podium sessions, the relevance of the Combine in the tracking-data era, and a […]
Some fans choose their team, and some fans are chosen by their team. Which was it for you? Today, we want to hear your story from you: How you became a fan of the Minnesota Vikings? When did you first become a fan? Were you born into it? Was there a specific game or season […]
Dallas Mavericks forward Khris Middleton arrived to town from the Washington Wizards, in the deal that sent Anthony Davis (and others) back east. At face value, the motive was to move off Davis’ future money and reset the books. The team accomplished that as the contracts of three of the four players, including Middleton, expire […]
The LA Kings lost Kevin Fiala for the season to a tough loss at the Olympics, but after already adding Artemi Panarin and this being Anze Kopitar's last season, more will be done to ensure the team is given a chance to succeed. Jeff Marek said, "I don't think the Kings want...to have Anze Kopitar's career end in the regular season. You lose Kevin Fiala...that is a major dent. I cannot see Ken Holland sitting on his hands. He's gotta use that LTIR space to bring in a scorer." Options for scorer...
Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was the player put forward to face the press ahead of the UEFA Champions League play-off second leg against Benfica, and spoke about the racism scandal by saying, “this is a great moment for football to put an end to these things. We know what Vinicius has told us… and […]
After a downer against the Toronto Raptors, the Bucks are back at it tonight against the Miami Heat—one of the core four teams they hope to displace in the standings. Four games back in the loss column (seven in the win), the Bucks’ margin for error is slim, meaning tonight’s game carries extra weight. It’ll […]
In Today’s Links: analysis on the current free agent market and positions of need (possibly, maybe), the combine awaits for our Seattle Seahawks, the salary cap, and a little bit more. Speculation abounds. And when the pen hits the paper, and these contracts start getting signed, look to Field Gulls for all the reaction and […]
Since our last update, two more former Orange have made appearances in the NBA. Buddy Boeheim was signed to a two-way deal by the Oklahoma City Thunder in early February and Kadary Richmond joined the Wizards on a 10-day contract. Buddy has appeared in 3 games with OKC making 2 of his 6 shots (all […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a desperately needed win over a shorthanded Minnesota Timberwolves team. Now they head to Indiana for the final stop on this three-game road trip, where they’ll face the Pacers with a chance to finish 2–1. For the Sixers, the win couldn’t have come at a better time. Losses had […]
The Mavericks were 1-3 over the past two weeks and remain firmly in 12th place in the West. They lost to Phoenix (120-111), the Lakers (124-104), and Minnesota (122-111), and beat Indiana (134-130). Naji Marshall led the team in scoring with 20.5 points per game. Cooper Flagg has missed the last three games with a […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers have a big challenge in front of them tonight. They’ll be hosting the New York Knicks in what could be a potential NBA Playoffs preview between two Eastern Conference contenders. This is the second challenge Cleveland has faced this week. On Sunday, they lost to the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder. New […]

Tonight, New York Knicks (37*-21) take on Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers (36-22) at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. A win would give the third-place Knicks some breathing room over the fourth-place Cavaliers, but that’s easier said than done. Despite their recent loss to the Thunder, the Ohio Players have been on a tear of […]
It’s a thing. It has its own Wikipedia entry. The 40-20 Rule states that a team must win 40 games before losing 20 to have a chance at winning the championship in that season. Since 1980, only four teams have won a championship despite not winning 40 before losing 20. The rule was introduced by […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers drastically changed their team at the start of the month when they traded multiple rotation players for James Harden, Dennis Schroder, and Keon Ellis. They’ve played eight games since their first trade for Schroder and Ellis. That isn’t a huge sample size — and they haven’t exactly played the best defensive teams […]
Good morning, it’s Tuesday, February 24th. The Cleveland Cavaliers are 36-22 and host the New York Knicks tonight. The last time they played the Knicks was in New York on Christmas Day.

According to Sarah Todd, it appears that Vince Williams Jr. may have suffered a season-ending injury in the Jazz’s game against the Houston Rockets. If you haven’t seen the play, Williams took a shot from Tari Eason coming down the court, and his knee appeared to hyperextend sideways. After the game, it looks like Keyonte […]
The Jazz fell to the Rockets, 105-125, in a defeat that was all but assured ever since the opening quarter. Not that Jazz fans are complaining; with the next two games being against the Pelicans, where losses are far from guaranteed, an easy and relaxed addition to the teams ping pong balls versus Houston is […]
