“The cool thing right now isn’t the Knicks.” “Me, I’ve never lost to the Knicks since I’ve been in the league.” “City is under new management” If any of those quotes sound familiar, they were said by players, fans, and even part-owners about the Brooklyn Nets in the last few seasons. When they got the […]
Last year the Knicks were good. Really good! Only not quite as good as they thought they oughta be, leading a franchise without a title for more than 50 years to fire their best head coach in 25 on the grounds that “our organization is singularly focused on winning a championship for our fans.” As […]

The Buffalo Sabres are struggling once again this season, as they are at the bottom of the Atlantic Division standings with a 5-6-3 record. Due to this, pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) Alex Tuch has been a very popular name in the rumor mill. If the Sabres do not improve and Tuch is not extended as the deadline gets closer, he could very well get moved. Because of this, let's discuss three potential landing spots for him. Los Angeles Kings The Kings need another scoring winge...
As I mentioned yesterday, I have been stuck indoors with a cold. I thought it best to hunker down on the couch and watch the second half of Saturday night’s Spurs/Pelicans game (yay!) and then a bunch of movies. I decided to focus on basketball flicks and add on to the “basketball movie of the […]
ORLANDO — Anfernee Simons played just two minutes in the first half of Friday’s 123-110 loss to the Orlando Magic. The Celtics were outscored by 11 in that stretch, and Joe Mazzulla opted to give Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez more extended run. Afterwards, Simons was gracious about his benching. “J-Walsh and Hugo came in […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins closed out a back-to-back set on Sunday afternoon, hosting the Los Angeles Kings. Of note, it was highly touted goalie prospect Sergei Murashov’s NHL debut. The Kings came out as the victors in what was a 3-2 win over Pittsburgh. [Highlights] Despite the […]
Reed Sheppard is starting to reverse the all-too-early concocted narrative on him as an NBA player. It’s still early in the season (and his NBA career) but we can’t ignore what he’s been doing of late, and what’s been said about him. He was written off long ago. Dating back to his rookie season, we’ve […]
Luka Garza’s first ten games as a Boston Celtic have had some ups and some downs. That is to be expected from a player on his third team in five years and has never had a regular rotation role. In fact, before Sunday night, Garza only had one game where he was a positive in […]
Often mocked as perennial Play-In Tournament participants, perhaps no one in the league is more familiar with being a middling team hovering around .500 than the Chicago Bulls. Despite this, the Bulls have shown a strong start to the season, propelled by their young guard, Josh Giddey, who is listed as questionable after an ankle […]
ORLANDO — Normally, when Jordan Walsh plays the entire fourth quarter, it means the game is out of reach. Just a week ago, in a blowout Celtics loss to the Houston Rockets, Walsh played all 12 fourth-quarter minutes, running around and getting up shots against the Rockets’ two-way players. But this time, Walsh’s fourth-quarter minutes […]
After winning their last three matches by a 2+ goal margin, the signs pointed toward a comfortable victory for Atlético Madrid in Saturday’s match vs. Levante. Instead, the Granotas proved to be a rather stubborn test for Diego Simeone’s side, who, after conceding an early own goal, immediately responded by levelling proceedings via Atleti academy […]

Let’s play a game of fill in the blank. “Don’t overreact. The season is still young. The Dallas Mavericks have only played (insert your number here) games so far—so there is still time to turn things around.” What is your number? Is it 5, 15, 30? I have always believed that by the time an […]
The Long Island Nets returned to the Nassau Coliseum court on Sunday afternoon for their second of two games with the Capital City Go Go, the Wizards G League affiliate. Long Island opened its season with a win on Friday night but despite another very competitive game, lightning didn’t strike twice as Long Island fell […]
After an embarrassing loss to the Spurs in their first NBA Cup game, the Rockets needed to cleanse their pallet and get back to doing the things that help them win ball games. Early on against the Bucks it didn’t look like that was going to happen. The Rockets have struggled at times to defend […]
Despite the schedule, it still sucks to lose the Andre Drummond two three-pointers made game. The Sixers wrapped up their throwback weekend with an 111-108 loss to the Detroit Pistons Sunday night. Tyrese Maxey didn’t have his most efficient night, but still managed to drop 33 to lead all scorers, shooting 10-of-26 from the field […]
In news that is surprising to nobody, NBA officials got a call wrong in the Portland Trail Blazers / Miami Heat game in which Portland lost to a Heat roster missing its most important players. Slightly more surprising: officials admitted they got one wrong. In the NBA Officials’ Last Two Minute (L2M) report for last […]
Anfernee Simons ignited the Celtics in the first half, Luka Garza shifted the momentum late and Jordan Walsh provided the finishing touches to steer the Celtics to a 111-107 road win over the Magic on Sunday. Simons poured in all 25 of his points before the break, putting on a show in his hometown. Garza […]

Last season, the Knicks’ (6-3) largest margin of victory was 37 points in a January game against the Grizzlies. Tonight, just nine games into the season, they came close to matching that in a blistering beat down of the Brooklyn Nets (1-9). Final score: 134-98. Still undefeated at MSG, punks! The Knicks cooked the Nets […]
Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets got the better of Giannis Antetokoumpo and the Milwaukee Bucks by a final score of 122-115. A rough crunch time performance and self-inflicted wounds led to the Bucks’ fourth loss of the season. Read our full summary of the game here and catch a six-minute audio recap on the […]
