I’ve had a ton of fun so far this season covering Men’s Nebrasketball. I said at the beginning of the season that they would finish 19-12, going 9-11 in the Big Ten. I’ve successfully hit the number of wins, but I’m nowhere close to the overall record or conference record. If you would have told […]
When things are going the way they’ve been going for the Knicks, can you ever definitively say you’re confident in them to win, regardless of opponent? Yes, on paper, it was more likely the Knicks (26-18) would embarrass the Nets (12-30) by biblical margins than it was for them to manage to lose, especially when […]
Cooper Flagg played in the 41st game of his rookie season on Monday against the New York Knicks. I recently compared Flagg’s first 41 games to those of the last ten number one overall picks, and figured why stop there. How does Flagg’s first half-season stack up against Luka Doncic’s? Doncic wasn’t the number one […]

As longtime readers know, in addition to being a die hard Spurs fan, I am the proud father of a die hard Spurs fan. My twelve-year-old daughter Elizabeth and I most commonly spend our father-daughter dates at the Frost Bank Center. Some memorable outings were Dirk Nowitzki’s farewell game, the 2023 NBA Draft, and the […]
When Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis were traded for each other in the most shocking and controversial deal in NBA history, there was (understandably) little focus on the others included in the six-player, three-team deal. Sure, fan favorite Maxi Kleber and salary filler Markieff Morris were headed to Los Angeles, but Mavericks fans had other […]
The Elias Pettersson trade noise is a developing story in Vancouver , and it’s only getting louder with the Olympic break and roster freeze approaching. Sportsnet’s latest rumour roundup painted the Canucks as increasingly open for business, with insiders noting teams are still intrigued by Pettersson’s ceiling even with his massive $11.6 million cap hit running through 2031-32. Why the Los Angeles Kings make sense in an Elias Pettersson trade According to The Fourth Period’s D...
The Cleveland Cavaliers held the Charlotte Hornets to 87 points in their win on Wednesday. Whether that’s the result of good defense or poor outside shooting from Charlotte is for you to decide. The stats in the table below are from Cleaning the Glass. Now, let’s dive into the numbers.
1. Ran the Pacers out of the Gym After a close loss against the Detroit Pistons, Boston came back home to play their final matchup of the season against the Indiana Pacers where they proceeded to run them out of the gym, winning by a final score of 119-104. Boston did a great job when […]
The NFL playoff field is down to just four teams. In the AFC, the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos will fight for a spot in the Super Bowl. While in the NFC, it’s between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. With no NFC North rival team to root against, Detroit Lions fans no […]
We talk periodically about blocked shots and how so often they’re just wasted opportunities. Why? Because guys just throw the ball out of bounds and give it back to the other team. Granted, it’s fun to throw a shot into the fifth row and it projects a certain amount of power. All good fun. But […]

If there’s one thing that’s sure to help a team coming off a loss (and in the midst of dealing with an overly condensed schedule), it’s a double helping of patsy, sandwiched around the week’s biggest challenge. The Spurs more or less thrashed the Jazz just before going the distance with the Rockets, and now […]

The Long Island Nets returned to the court on Wednesday night, as they traveled to South Dakota to take on the Sioux Falls Skyforce. While it looked like it might be a disaster for Long Island, they were able to cut down a 25-point deficit to single digits on the backs of E.J. Liddell and […]

It’s the fourth straight loss for the Bucks against defending NBA champions. Giannis led the way for the Bucks with 19 points and 14 rebounds, while seldom-used guard Cole Anthony had […]
Before we start with the preview, I want to thank Holly and Xiane for stepping in and handling the game previews while I was celebrating my brother’s marriage. As always, I’m worried that you guys liked them way more than me and will try to get rid of me. For now, you’re still stuck with […]
The bright lights of ESPN proved too much for the Charlotte Hornets as they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Summary The Hornets looked a little overhyped by the moment on ESPN. They fell behind 8-0 after four straight bad possessions to start the game.

On the one hand, the Maple Leafs were swept by Detroit in the season series tonight, and that will cost them in the standings throughout the rest of the campaign.
