We’re at the point in the series where the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers are familiar with one another. There’s not much that either team can do to surprise the other. Truly, it comes down to which team can successfully impose their will and identity into the proceedings. We know that the Lakers want […]
PHILADELPHIA — Jayson Tatum never checked back into the game after subbing out with four minutes to play in the third quarter in the Celtics’ 106-93 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. He appeared to have ice and a wrap on his left calf on the bench, and was on the bike in the tunnel for […]
Portland Trail Blazers general manager Joe Cronin on Thursday defended Blazers owner Tom Dundon against reports criticizing the new owner for recent cost-cutting measures and characterizing him as cheap.

Maybe we do want Boston? The Sixers smoked the Celtics 106-93 in Game 6 in a contest that was not as close as the score would indicate. There will a Game 7 in Boston Saturday. Tyrese Maxey was brilliant from start to finish, leading all scorers with 30 points, shooting 11-of-22 from the floor along […]

For nearly two weeks, the Knicks toyed with our emotions. Game One of their first-round Eastern Conference playoff series with the Hawks was a mostly by-the-books win. Then our rosy dreams of championship glory were dashed by a choke job, a one-point loss in Game Two, and an even worse one-point stinker in Game Three. […]
The Atlanta Hawks were back at home for Game 6 to face the New York Knicks in a win-or-go-home situation. The last two games have not been the best for the Hawks, and they found themselves in a position where they have to play some of their best basketball if they want to stay alive. […]
The Houston Rockets, being the Rockets, like to do things The Hard Way. In their second championship season, 1994-1995, the Houston Rockets defeated more combined playoff opponent regular season wins en route to their title than any team in NBA history before, or since. Because of Hakeem Olajuwon’s injury that season, the Rockets didn’t finish […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers exorcised some of their demons in their Game 5 win over the Toronto Raptors. They overcame a double-digit second-half deficit to pull out a much-needed victory. They now have a 3-2 lead as the series shifts back to Canada. Despite the win, the series isn’t over yet. This Raptors team has found […]
Stop if you’ve heard this before, but turnovers were an issue for the Lakers in their loss on Wednesday. While they weren’t quite at the level of their Game 4 disasterclass, the Lakers did turn the ball over 15 times in Game 5, resulting in 18 Rockets points. Most certainly, it was a team-wide issue, […]
With Seattle Seahawks rookie minicamp set to begin this weekend, the Super Bowl champions finalized the signings of a smaller than usual undrafted free agent class on Thursday.

Seattle Seahawks rookie minicamp kicks off May, and the Super Bowl champions have wasted little time getting more than half of their 2026 draft class under contract.

In the postseason, the purple and gold has been a respectable defensive team with […]

The Seattle Seahawks have an extensive history of taller cornerbacks on the roster, but not this tall. Former Arkansas wide receiver Tyrone Broden Jr, who signed with Seattle as an intriguing undrafted free agent last year, has flipped from offense to defense. The team announced on Thursday that Broden is now a cornerback and will […]
