A eulogy for the superstar that Atlanta needed

No one ever thought it would end this way, and yet here we are. On Wednesday in the middle of home game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Young was salary dumped traded for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert. That was it. It’s a sad ending that precipitated quickly — quicker than all of us can […]

New York Jets Flight Connections 01/09/26

Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets have requested their first interview for defensive coordinator, asking to interview Minnesota Vikings passing defense coordinator Daronte Jones.

Sixers kick off tough stretch starting with Orlando Magic

The Sixers are coming off a much-needed bounce-back win at home against the Washington Wizards, shaking off a disappointing loss. There won’t be much time to savor it, though, as they begin one of the toughest stretches of their regular-season schedule with a road matchup against the Orlando Magic. The Magic opened the year in […]

High IQ plays of Week 11

We’re back! Welcome to the five highest-IQ plays of the week!  Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve. The plays that get the basketball sickos and nerds out of their chairs. The plays […]

MM 1.9: Sidney Stewart named one of ESPN’s top 25 freshmen

Sidney Stewart was named ESPN’s 19th-best freshmen in the country for the past season, in a list released Wednesday. It’s hard to argue with the former three-star’s inclusion. Stewart exploded onto the scene in 2025, posting 4.5 sacks and seven tackles for loss in his first four games en route to seven sacks and 10.5 […]

When Jayson Tatum returns…

Things have gone very well for the Boston Celtics thus far this season. Far better than just about anyone could have imagined. That alone is a victory and sets up the team for future success in the years to come. But from a current season perspective, it is merely a feel good story if the […]

Why can’t the Rockets make open shots?

The Houston Rockets have been one of the league’s top-ranked offenses all season. Quite the surprise for an Ime Udoka-led group, which is generally carried by defensive execution.  Houston’s offensive philosophy is largely predicated on dominating the glass and getting extra bites at the apple. Simple but effective. The more extra possessions, the more scoring […]

From the portal, to the basketball wins. Since my last Commute post (last Friday) we’ve posted 54 different articles on here and Rock M+. Mizzou football has added 11 different players since the portal opened last Friday, and that’s not including them signing Austin Simmons to an NIL deal, thus securing a commitment for, well […]

Sharks trade Furlong, Ellis to Blackhawks for Brossoit and Nolan Allan

The San Jose Sharks made an interesting trade today , potentially clearing the way for a larger deal in the near future. The team moved two defensemen, Jake Furlong and Ryan Ellis, along with a 2028 fourth-round pick to the Chicago Blackhawks for goaltender Laurent Brossoit, defenseman Nolan Allan and a 2028 seventh-round pick. (Small brag because I suggested a Furlong trade last week .) The picks are so far in the future, they’re inconsequential at this point for either team, so we’ll focus o...

Houston Rockets vs. Portland Trail Blazers game preview

Basketball is a super complicated game. Analytics have taken the sports from “put ball in hoop and stop other team from putting ball in hoop” to “leverage help defense around the nail to prevent penetration and kickouts to below-the-break threes.” There are a variety of strategies still to this day. The Houston Rockets utilize a […]
