You can never deny Adam Silver’s ambition to try new things, even when his effort proves futile. This year, he’s outdone himself by introducing yet another wrinkle to the All-Star game, as the 24 players will now be split into three teams: two filled with Americans and the other comprised of international names. Befuddlingly, the […]
The Milwaukee Bucks will try to forget one of the worst two-game stretches (based on point differential) and end a three-game losing streak against the Atlanta Hawks on the road for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This is the first time these two Eastern Conference foes have met this season, though the Hawks took the […]
Hopefully three days of rest will have done the Sixers some good. They’re coming off a tough two-game mini series against the Cavaliers, losing two straight capped off by Friday’s narrow 117-115 defeat as they squandered a 10-point lead in the fourth. Cleveland has now passed Philly in the Eastern Conference standings, overtaking them into […]
Here are two words that go really well together: “Bulls” and “Fail.” Not just a reality on the court, but an even bigger one in the front office.
Right now, all eyes are on the Chicago Bulls — especially on their players with lucrative expiring contracts. On paper, those contracts are a golden ticket for NBA teams looking to dump bad money and regain financial flexibility.
But having leverage only matters if you know how to use it.
You’ve heard the phrase, “He who does not know ...

Good morning Gang Green Nation! This past weekend Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks advanced to the NFC conference championship game against the Los Angeles Rams next weekend.

With the 2025 season in the rearview, let us take a premature and (likely) abysmal early look at the Minnesota Vikings’ 2026 opponents and how I feel about them – i.e., how difficult I expect them to be. What else are we going to talk about? Sam Darnold in the NFC Championship Game? No thanks. […]

Jabari Smith Jr. had been slumping, no doubt. Badly enough that his poor peformances had been directly related to at least a few losses, and some fans had been growing impatient with the 22-year-old’s development. He answered some of those critics in the win over New Orleans. Smith went off for 32 points, a career-high […]
When Mike Krzyzewski took the Duke job, it took him a little while to figure out how to recruit here. At first he swung for the fences and cast a wide net, most of whom he missed on. One of those was Chris Mullin, who chose St. John’s after a tremendous high school career first […]
