Recently Portland Trail Blazers starters Deni Avdija and Jrue Holiday were nominated for NBA Player of the Week. They didn’t win the award, but given Portland’s nice start to the season—and distinctive style of play—it’s probably a matter of time before we see a pinwheel candidate walk away with the honor. Today in a national […]

The Boston Celtics dropped to 3–5 last night after a tough 105–103 home loss to the Utah Jazz. It was one of the uglier performances in recent memory, though Jaylen Brown’s 36-point effort nearly salvaged the night. Even in a win, that kind of performance would’ve sparked some tough questions, but after Jusuf Nurkic’s putback […]

There’s a tension between expectations and reality when it comes to high lottery picks. The third overall pick? Perfect. We’ve got a superstar. The first five picks in every NBA draft are superstars. It’s an unimpeachable fact. Only, it’s highly peachable. It can be peached to no end. A lot of high lottery picks don’t […]

After a much-needed bye in Week 8, the Detroit Lions came out flat in all three phases against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9, leading to a disappointing 27-24 loss at home. Detroit had their issues in all three phases of the game, but particularly struggled on the offensive side of the ball, where consistent […]

Gosh, those World Series announcers were strange. The team of Joe Davis, John Smoltz, and sideline helpers actually spent almost the entire time the games were going on talking about what was happening on the field. Oh, they indulged in the occasional anecdote or reflection on earlier days. Still, unless I missed it, they spent […]

Point guard Ryan Rollins is balling out right now for the Milwaukee Bucks. With their backs against the wall after a brutal summer of incessant Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors, the Bucks needed somebody, anybody to step up and play at above a veteran-minimum level. Enter Rollins. Rollins began his career as an afterthought, a mid-second […]

The Seattle Seahawks are sitting atop the NFC West, looking smarter and smarter with every game in which Sam Darnold dominates. Even in Week 9 when Seattle traveled east to take on the Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football and obliterated Washington and any hopes of turning the season around for former Seahawks defensive coordinator […]

Where would the Sixers be without the 2020 bubble heroics of Mike Muscala? A couple of seemingly irrelevant threes in a game that August for Muscala’s Thunder in a win against the Heat allowed the Sixers to keep their first-round pick in that year’s draft. With the 21st pick, the Sixers landed Kentucky guard Tyrese […]

Despite injuries to three key players to start the season, the Winnipeg Jets have somehow managed to vault out to a 9-3-0 start to the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign. The underlying numbers aren’t anywhere near as good as they were last season, but the True Northers have been picking up wins regardless. The door to Winnipeg’s rehabilitation center should be a revolving one with the number of players going in & out to begin this year. Issues started early when Adam Lowry underwent hip surgery in t...

The Utah Jazz youth movement is starting to show some dividends. The best part is it’s coming from a lot of different places. Some of that development is getting so good it might get some national attention soon, maybe necessarily so. As a Jazz fan, your vote matters the most in this one considering you’re […]

If the Chicago Bulls want to avoid their first losing streak of the season, they will have to stop one of the most dynamic young backcourts in the NBA. The Philadelphia 76ers got off to an equally hot start to begin the season and come into tonight’s meeting at the United Center an identical 5-1. Now, it’s fair to argue that their competition has not been nearly as stiff as what the Chicago Bulls have seen over the first couple of weeks. Whereas the Bulls battled multiple teams projecte...

After a few years of mixed results with regards to the Spurs’ City Edition uniforms — with a couple of confusing versions that were supposed to represent Hemsfair Park, the site of the 1968 World’s Fair, but instead reminded fans more of Whataburger — the Spurs are turning back to the start of this decade […]

The Detroit Lions (5-3) came out of their bye week flat and suffered their third loss of the season, this time to their division rival Minnesota Vikings. As expected, the Lions fell in almost every power ranking this week, but how much they fell varied on publication: most dropped the Lions about four spots, others […]

The Regular Season has barely gotten out of bed, and the rash of injuries is already piling up. Last Friday, the Cavaliers were without Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, Jarrett Allen, and Max Strus. That’s 80% of Cleveland’s starting lineup! On Sunday, the Grizzlies strolled into town without the injured Zach Edey, Ty Jerome, Brandon Clarke, […]

We have a first in NFL history: a suspension due to repeated violations of the “hip-drop tackle.” The final straw was a tackle on the Seattle Seahawks’ superstar Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Detroit Lions for this third infraction, although not a single one […]

The Celtics really did look like they were tanking that game. No effort on the boards, no energy and terrible shooting. For guys who are good shooters, it's hard to believe that they are all shooting that badly. Sad to see that most of them don't like Will Hardy. Even Jazz fans saw that the trip on Jaylen was a bad no call. That list of AJ, Brown and Tatum makes losing look very tempting. But, the lottery has not usually been kind to the Celtics and I wouldn...
