#1 – Continuity or convenience? For the second straight game, Joe chose to roll with a starting lineup of Pritchard, White, Brown, Minott, and Queta as the Celtics hosted the Cavs at TD Garden. Prior to the start of the season, the CelticsBlog writers all postulated about what the starting five should be, and while […]

The Spurs are a […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat head to Texas to face Victor Wembanyama and the undefeated Spurs appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Tottenham Hotspur hosts Chelsea FC in a London derby that comes at a very quick turnaround for both sides. Both Chelsea and Spurs played last night in the League Cup’s fourth round, but with different results. The Blues raced out to a 3-0 lead at halftime at Wolves, and then successfully fended off a late, […] The post Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Starting XI vs Chelsea appeared first on The Sports Bank .

Great win for the Celtics. It's funny to watch the Cavs fans being sure of a win at first and then trashing their whole team at the end and wanting Queta and Garza on their team. The Celtics big man rotation might not be as bad as everyone thinks. Once again so much complaining about the refs giving the Celtics the game when both teams shot 24 free throws. I also don't get the Doris Burke hate. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? I'm nervous about goin...
The Washington Wizards announced Thursday the team has exercised the third-year rookie scale team option on Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George, Alex Sarr and AJ Johnson.

Xavi Hernández has been linked with quite a few jobs since leaving Barcelona a year and a half ago, but the coach continues to wait for the right opportunity to return to management. Manchester United, Ajax and Al Ittihad all flirted with Xavi for their job openings in the last 6-12 months, but the legendary […]
Basketball may be their profession, but for many NBA stars, casino gaming is a favorite pastime. The adrenaline of competition, the high stakes, the psychological warfare—it’s no surprise that some of the world’s most competitive athletes are drawn to the green felt and flashing lights of the casino floor. Even Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball […] The post Miami Heat stars who’ve been blinded by the casino lights away from the court appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blo...

The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Golden State Warriors tonight in a marquee matchup. Both teams have lost only one game this season and have looked the goods thus far, making this game one to watch. The Warriors dominated the Bucks last season, beating them in both matchups, doing an admirable job guarding Giannis in […]
The propulsion of this year’s season is quite a bit different than what was planned. No team in any league has a blueprint that begins with a 2-5-0 record. Which isn’t so bad when the entity is the NHL, NBA, MLS, or Major League Baseball. They play so many games that a bad start can […]
The regular NBA season has 82 games, and after game five, it looks like there may be some adversity ahead for the Dallas Mavericks. They are 2-3, but injuries are already piling up, as Anthony Davis left the game Wednesday with a leg injury. That leaves both the backcourt and frontcourt in trouble already in […]
The Dallas Mavericks played host to former head coach Rick Carlisle and the Indiana Pacers, grabbing a 107-105 win in a relatively ugly affair. Unexpected players stepped up in a big way to eek out the win, but the injury list grew when Anthony Davis checked out midway through the first quarter. Let’s get to […]
There’s something a bit uncomfortable about early departing players being referred to as alumni of particular colleges. Those players apparently do fit the strict definition of an alumnus if they attended a university for any length of time, and thus can claim affiliation with an institution whether they stopped by for a semester of classes […]
Daniel Jones outplaying Aaron Rodgers in every way! Pacers lose heartbreaker! Cignetti learning!
I have to say, it’s been fun watching the Sixers and Flyers so far this season. Sure, all of us here are just staring into the wintry void waiting for baseball to come back, but the winter sports teams at least being entertaining helps pass the time, especially on an Eagles bye week. Now if […]

Maybe the Celtics have much more in the tank than their first three games suggested — much, much more. Boston’s 0-3 start to the season quickly drew doubt surrounding the team’s frontcourt, offseason, and overall ability to compete without Jayson Tatum. It only took three games for the online discourse surrounding the team to turn […]
