The Anthony Davis experiment in Dallas has reached its most familiar endpoint. According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Davis is likely to undergo surgery to repair ligament damage in his left hand, sidelining him for several months and effectively ending his season with the Mavericks. Given both the medical prognosis and the organization’s current direction, this […]
I once knew a couple who visited Hawaii several times a year. They kept going back and going back until finally they decided to purchase property there. Might as well, right? If you substitute “Portland Trail Blazers” for “a couple” and “20th place” for “Hawaii”, you have the perfect description of the Blazers in the […]
Soon after we polled you all last week, Giannis had a lengthy one-on-one with The Athletic’s Sam Amick, discussing his future with the Bucks. You can read the full interview here and also my reaction to it, but the the main takeaways are: What never ceases to amaze me is that some, even after reading […]
The last two games for the Philadelphia 76ers have summed up their season in some ways. Both were against the Toronto Raptors. On Sunday, Philadelphia lost a tight game in overtime without Joel Embiid. There was enough good in the loss on Sunday for someone to be intrigued enough to watch the next game. Then […]
Not a good game from the Celtics. It's always puzzling to me how one game they can't miss and the next they can't throw it in the ocean. Pacers fans can't agree on whether to continue to tank or try to win. It's funny how they trash Jarace Walker but he actually played pretty well. I cracked up on the comment about Jaylen counting out the 3.5 million pennies. I really wouldn't put it past him. On to the next one and hopefully they can snap out of whatever th...
Tonight, the Portland Trail Blazers travel to San Francisco, looking for a season sweep of the Golden State Warriors.

The San Francisco 49ers have floated around the NFC Championship as a potential game for linebacker Fred Warner to return. Warner has not appeared in a game since October 12, when he dislocated his ankle in Week 6. After Sunday’s game, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said the chances are “Not very high” of Warner […]

The Miami Heat have lost four of the last five games and are currently in the midst of one of the most difficult stretches this season. And it isn’t getting any easier. After three consecutive double-digit road losses to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Indiana Pacers and OKC Thunder, respectively— the Heat are back home. However, they […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat back home to host Suns amid three-game skid appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Tari Eason has become an unheralded player. Such is life for “glue guys” in the NBA. They do things that don’t always show up on the stat sheet. They impact the game without always impacting the box score. Fans tend to overlook them at times. And front offices underestimate their value. This sums up Eason’s […]
It’s a big night around The Association with a matchup of two superstars on the horizon!

The month of December wasn’t a great one for Winnipeg Jets’ goaltenders, as it only provided Connor Hellebuyck & Eric Comrie with one win each. Now that the calendar has flipped over to January, the masked men have already equaled that plateau before the mid-month mark. The True North franchise is currently on their 4th multi-game winning streak of the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign, after posting victories over the Los Angeles Kings & New Jersey Devils, and will be hoping to extend that versus t...
Prior to the Knicks’ win over the Trail Blazers, and certainly before their win over the Clippers, the fanbase went through a non-insignificant level of panic. How much trepidation they felt varied, but it was clear that fans were becoming more and more concerned with some of the coaching decisions, the level of play, the […]
Wake up, Chicago, it’s game day! Tonight the Chicago Bulls head to Texas to take on the Houston Rockets. This will be the first time these two teams face each other this season, so honestly, anything could happen (Houston are the favorites… cough cough). It’s also the first game of a back-to-back, so it would really help Chicago if the winner gets decided a little earlier than the final buzzer. And there’s plenty more to talk about too, including LeBron James and the newly reschedule...
The Edmonton Oilers had no issue with the Connor Bedard-less Chicago Blackhawks on Monday night, cruising to a 4-1 victory to open their mini two-game road trip in the Central Division. After a dominant first few minutes for the visiting team, Zach Hyman opened the scoring with five minutes left to go in the opening…
As the Dallas Mavericks continue to battle severe injury and a poor roster, it is only fair for some of us to turn a wandering eye towards what is happening in the college game. Some of the nation’s best have put forward their best performances to start the new year. However, this game is closer […]
The Philadelphia 76ers were able to get back in the win column on Monday evening, taking down the Toronto Raptors 115-102 just 24 hours after dropping an overtime game to the same opponent. One of the best moments of the game, however, wasn’t really about the game itself at all. With a comfortable double-digit lead […]

Following a disappointing end to their road trip, the Milwaukee Bucks face the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight at Fiserv. For whatever reason, the first game back from a road trip can be rough for the home team, so the Bucks must be ready to go. They played very well for most of the December 22 matchup, […]
The Seattle Seahawks are making a significant effort to get as many invested 12s in the seats as possible. Per Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times, the Seahawks are actively discouraging fans from reselling season tickets prior to the start of the team’s playoff run. This continues a campaign that was initially started last spring, […]
