ANALYSIS: Was Brooklyn Nets’ Michael Porter Jr. an All-Star snub?

Michael Porter Jr. is averaging 25.6 points and 3.2 assists, both career-highs. Throw in his seven rebounds a night and the fact that he is true-shooting 61.8% (+3.8% over league-average) on a team devoid of other high-end talent, and it seems like an ironclad All-Star case. Not so. The NBA announced the full list of […]

It’s Time for Joan Beringer to Have a Larger Role

Thursday night in Dallas looked like one in which the Minnesota Timberwolves were going to play all the hits. Near double-digit favorites on the road against a severely shorthanded Dallas Mavericks team, anyone who’s followed this team close enough over the last two seasons probably could have predicted how things were going to go. With […]

Sixers will face a tougher challenge against surging Clippers

Just as things were looking more normal for the Sixers, we got some unexpected news. Because these are still your Philadelphia 76ers… After a couple of solid wins last week, we heard that Paul George has been suspended 25 games for violating the NBA’s anti-drug policy.

Jason Kidd didn’t just go off. He might be letting go.

Jason Kidd’s F-bomb tirade drew national attention for obvious reasons. NBA coaches rarely go full scorched earth on the media, even when they clearly want to. The presser clip circulated widely, elevated by the sheer novelty of the language. And in a league wired for viral reaction, most commentary stopped there: the outburst itself, the […]

Celtics win over the Bucks was much bigger than basketball

BOSTON — On paper, Sunday’s afternoon game between the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks was just another NBA game between two Eastern Conference foes missing two star players. The Celtics walked away with a 107-79 win behind big-time games from Jaylen Brown (30 points, 13 rebounds) and Anfernee Simons (27 points), while the Bucks racked […]

Let’s Talk About the Current States of the Blackhawks and Sharks Rebuilds

Really good read from this weekend from Ben Pope at the Chicago Sun-Times looking at the current directions of the front offices in Chicago and San Jose. The Blackhawks and Sharks play Monday night, so I thought it was worth both a bump and some additional discussion. The parallels between the Blackhawks and Sharks run deep. Both Mike Grier and Kyle Davidson were named the permanent general managers of their respective clubs in 2022. And, as Pope writes, both teams went with the burn-it-d...

Jamal Mashburn Said What?

Cooper Flagg was expected to be an elite defender and an adequate offensive performer when he got to the NBA, but he’s way outperformed expectations. Kevin Garnett said this: “We haven’t had a badass, cold ass white boy like this in a long time.”  Dwight Howard said this: “49 points as a 19-year-old. That’s amazing […]

Patriots vs. Seahawks preview for 2026 Super Bowl

The New England Patriots entered the 2025 season off of back-to-back four-win campaigns and without having won a playoff game in six seasons. They hired their third head coach in as many years, and even the most optimistic of prognostications did not have them advance deep into the playoffs. And yet, here they are as […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers picked up their sixth win in their last seven games thanks to a 40-ball from Jarrett Allen that helped lead them past the Portland Trail Blazers 130-111.

Hailing from Hibbing, Minnesota, McHale attended Minnesota before entering the NBA in 1980 when Red Auerbach pulled off a legendary trade: […]
