It’s that time of the week again! Honestly, every time the Chicago Bulls lose a game or announce an injury, the idea of looking ahead to the NBA Draft gets extra exciting. That, in turn, makes following college ball more fun, and gives me even more reason to write this article. Now, I won’t pretend there isn’t an elephant in the room that needs acknowledging. With the current state of college basketball, former NBA draft picks playing in college, a 25-year-old who’s already logged time in...
Boston’s loss against Denver wasn’t just about missed shots or late-game execution.

So, Trae Young is the newest member of the Washington Wizards. This piece started life as a column called “To Trae Trade, Or Not To Trae Trade” debating the pros and cons of going through with the trade, and then about 45 minutes after I finished writing it he was traded. Young was a distressed […]

Not sure why the Celtics can play so good one night and then play so bad the next. Is it focus or effort or what? Nuggets fans were trashing their coach and Nnaji to start and then at the end both were the best. I'm sure some of the trade Jokic comments were joking but I have to think some were really thinking it. they were talking about how they hate the way the Celtics play because they shoot so many 3's. The Nuggets shot 6 more 3's than the Celtics. Well,...
Yes, you read the headline correctly. The much-maligned 49ers defense, which was gashed on the ground over and over by the Seattle Seahawks and gave up back-breaking third-down conversions, has a better chance on Sunday against the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles.
