Chelsea got back to winning ways midweek beating Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup fourth round, but the vibes weren’t exactly immaculate afterwards. The team threatened to give away a 3-0 lead against the worst team in the Premier League, and then Liam Delap had a bit of a headrush and got himself sent off. […]
Michael Porter Jr. did not take up the mantle of ‘veteran leader’ following the Brooklyn Nets’ loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night, a loss that placed them at 0-5 on the season and in a cage match with the New Orleans Pelicans for worst NBA team of the young season. When asked about […]
The Timberwolves look to right the ship as they head to the East Coast to take on the Charlotte Hornets.

There are many different archetypes of NBA players. There are, of course, differences between superstars, stars, starters, role players, and benchwarmers. There are stylistic differences, whether you’re a distributor, shooter, or defender. There’s the glue guys, 3-and-Ds, and rim protectors. There’s also a key distinction of knowing your role. For many players, they see themselves […]
We’re about to find out if the Chicago Bulls are a trick or a treat. See what I did there? Off to an impressive 4-0 start to begin the year, things are about to ramp up even more for this young and dynamic Bulls team. To be clear, they deserve credit for the squads they have taken down thus far. Detroit, Orlando, and Atlanta were seen as up-and-coming teams that were expected to finish well above Chicago in the standings. A win over a 1-4 Sacramento team may feel less worthy of praise, bu...

Now that Halloween is upon us, and the Blazers embark on their first Emirates NBA Cup tournament game of the young 2025-26 season, let’s take a moment to have some fun with a little mashup of the two. If the Blazers were movie monsters, who would they be? Here are my answers. Share yours in the […]
The preseason seems like a long time ago now, doesn’t it? Except that we’re only just over a week into the NBA season. Things didn’t go as well as Celtics fans might have hoped, with the team dropping their first 3 games before winning the next two. So for this week’s survey, I figured I’d […]
Earlier this week we ran a poll asking Portland Trail Blazers fans if they thought Interim Head Coach Tiago Splitter brought their club a better chance to win than suspended former coach Chauncy Billups did. Readers and subscribers responded nationally and, at the end of the day, a whopping 89% of respondents thought that Splitter […]
Most U.S. professional sports are designed for teams to lose on purpose during bridge years in order to get a better chance at a young prospect. It’s more worrisome for the NBA — a league that’s under scrutiny for it’s lack of integrity. That’s not mentioning how the new CBA essentially forces teams to build […]
The Premier League returns this weekend, with the standout fixture once again the London derby between Chelsea and Spurs, a clash that always promises high-intensity, attacking football.

With the season well underway it’s time for our continuous temperature check. While we know game-in and game-out the feelings of how the Mavericks look and feel, this is our chance to zoom out. To scan the larger landscape and see where Dallas rises or falls among the league as a whole. The NBA Power […]
Los Angeles Lakers’ big man Maxi Kleber has been sidelined for the regular season with an oblique strain and is set to be re-evaluated within the next week. The setback is the third in a string of injuries for the German international, who missed over three months last season with a foot fracture and then […]
The Houston Rockets’ most glaring need thus far has been at the guard spot. They’ve struggled mightily to bring the ball up the court. They also don’t really have anyone who can run pick-and-roll action. Well, they do, but he’s out for the foreseeable future in Fred VanVleet. On nights against teams like the Brooklyn […]
The Knicks will play the on-pace-for-82-wins Bulls in Chicago to kick off their NBA Cup run toward the first mini-title in franchise history this evening. New York will host the same Unstoppabulls (we’ll see about that after tonight) on Sunday in the second leg of a home-and-home affair versus the Windy City Boys. Here’s the […]
The Nuggets come into Portland on a three game heater of a winning streak. Over the offseason, the team added Cam Johnson, Bruce Brown, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Jonas Valanciunas to a team that took the 2025 Champions Oklahoma City Thunder to a game seven in the second round of last year’s playoffs. This newly […]
Hey, all. Come on in. Kick your feet up and get comfortable. I’m glad you could make it. It’s time for the first edition of a recurring series where I’ll break down what I’m seeing on Celtics film. That can range from new tactics to performances I enjoyed to, well, anything I want to include. […]
The Quentin Grimes situation certainly had the makings of getting ugly this past summer. Negotiations between Grimes and the Sixers didn’t seem to get very close, although that doesn’t mean either side was necessarily at fault. Grimes was reportedly asking for approximately $25 million per season in a multi-year deal on the restricted free agent […]
The San Jose Sharks picked up right where the team left off a few nights ago against the Los Angeles Kings, jumping on the New Jersey Devils early and often. The result was a 5-2 regulation win; the Sharks’ first regulation win of the season. The Sharks attacked the Devils with speed, triggering a quick strike from William Eklund that beat Jake Allen five-hole in the first minute of last night’s game.

When Ziaire Williams fell on his back in the Brooklyn Nets loss to the San Antonio Spurs, it looked bad. He did not return and post-game, Jordi Fernandez noted that the fall was a rough one and indeed, the 24-year-old didn’t play in the next two games vs. the Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks, out […]
A few days after an awkward but undeniably emotional suite encounter on Opening Night, the Dallas Mavericks announced that they would retire Mark Aguirre’s jersey this January. Number 24 is finally going to the rafters. Back in June, I wrote a piece titled Symmetry in the Rafters which made the quiet case for why this […]
