Time is a construct we humans made to contextualize life. As arbitrary as time is, it does help place events in a specific place. It gives us fresh starts and resets days and years. With our calendars now set for 2026, the Lakers can start fresh, too. Well, sort of. It’s not a new season, […]
Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak already has interviews set up with five of the eight NFL teams with head coach openings (so far). As Daniel Jeremiah on Seattle Sports Radio stated, “he seems to be the number one offensive candidate… everyone you talk to has him as the top offensive guy.” The Seahawks’ success […]
The Washington Wizards don’t expect to play new guard Trae Young much in the 2025-26 season and hope to see him start in the 2026-27 season, according to Joshua Robbins of The Athletic. The decision to do this makes sense, considering that the Wizards are looking to rebuild and keep their 2026 first round pick […]
Over the last two years, we’ve seen different iterations of the double-big lineup that features both Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson. There are reasons that both Tom Thibodeau and Mike Brown have gone to it. It matches up better theoretically against bigger teams. It gives them an actual rim protector in Robinson, without giving up […]
With the Portland Trail Blazers fresh off a huge win over the Houston Rockets that it’ll take all day to celebrate, it’s time to tackle one of the lesser and easier (but still pertinent) Blazer’s Edge Mailbag questions about everybody’s favorite Blazers player.

The Dallas Mavericks (14-23) are off to Utah in the second leg of their three-game road trip on Thursday at the Delta Center. The Jazz (12-24) played an overtime game on Wednesday in Oklahoma City and lost, extending their current losing skid to five games. The story with the Mavericks right now is a potential […]
Young Joel Embiid could make a poster on any given night. Hell, he’d show up to a Philly neighborhood court and dunk on Joe Schmo. But multiple knee surgeries later, dunks haven’t been a part of Embiid’s game in recent years. Over the first seven years of his career, Embiid averaged 63.9 dunks in 56.3 […]
Our Chicago Bulls find themselves in the midst of another losing streak. Chicago has now dropped three straight after getting thoroughly waxed on Wednesday, 108-93, by a Detroit Pistons club missing starters Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, and Tobias Harris. The 17-20 Bulls are hoping to stop the bleeding when they return to the United Center on Thursday. They’ll face the similarly mid Miami Heat (20-17) on the second night of a back-to-back. © Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images ...
The San Francisco 49ers’ offense struggled mightily in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks without star left tackle Trent Williams and their top perimeter threat, Ricky Pearsall. Christian McCaffrey didn’t run the ball outside to the left one time. Think about that. A Kyle Shanahan offense, known for its frequent usage of outside zone, couldn’t […]
With the NFC West sending three teams to the playoffs, the conference appears to run through them. However, the NFC North looked just as strong a year ago, only to flame out once January arrived. Could the NFC West be headed towards a similar fate? In 2024, the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings went into […]
When the Knicks acquired Deuce McBride in the 2021 draft, he was looked at by many as an athletic defensive pest with some playmaking and shooting potential. While his height and lack of vertical ability on the offense were a concern for some, his 6’8.75” wingspan, instantly translatable defense, and encouraging metrics and stats during […]
Coming off a tough loss versus the Memphis Grizzlies, the Spurs returned home for a SEGABABA versus the Los Angeles Lakers.

In what was one […]
There’s still a lot of season left and a lot of things could happen between now and April. However, it seems like a good time to look back on the previews posted back in October and evaluate where we are now in relation. First there’s the standard preview I do every year where I look […]
After last night’s loss against Golden State, The Athletic’s Sam Amick questioned Giannis Antetokounmpo pretty directly about his future in Milwaukee. And the Bucks star delivered a message that will be music to Bucks’ fans’ ears (or at least the ones who want Giannis to remain a Buck the rest of his career): I’m not […]
Updates on a couple of Chicago's first-round picks included as well.
With a looming NHL trade freeze before the Olympic break in February, the rumor mill is starting to pick up around the league. And the Chicago Blackhawks have some names that are starting to pop up with other insiders who could be on the move at some point. On Wednesday, I wrote about some potential trade scenarios for a few current Blackhawks. With a few veterans in the final years of their respective contracts who could be valuable additions to teams chasing a championship, the rumors w...
