Collapse Continues, Depressing Stats, Time Off and Other Bulls Bullets

I didn’t catch the Bulls game last night as I was boots on the ground at Lambeau Field watching the Bears come up frustratingly short of pulling off an upset. And, well, I’m glad I didn’t. Another game down, and another ugly loss in the books for Billy Donovan’s crew. Bulls Bullets Yet again last night, the Bulls were plagued by turnovers. Josh Giddey and Coby White each had four, which accounted for over half of the team’s 15 giveaways. The Bulls average 15.1 turnovers per game, w...

Basketball Murderer’s Row Edition: The Good, Bad and Odd

The Good The good, you ask?  The good news is that the Big Ten opener against Purdue at home and the Michigan game on the road are over. With upcoming games against Seton Hall, Penn, and Delaware State, Rutgers has three weeks to figure out a starting rotation and improve. The Bad It can be […]

Editor-in-chief mailbag: The Sixers get a break

It’s clear the Sixers are not built for The Cup … and it’s the best thing for them. With the knockout stage of the Emirates NBA Cup set to start, the teams that didn’t qualify will get a nice break from the rigors of an 82-game schedule. The Sixers will have four days off before […]

Comments from the Other Side - Raptors 12/7/15

 Another good win for the Celtics.  And yet another fanbase that trashes just about everyone on their own team.  Good to see all the love for White, Walsh, Queta, Brown and Pritchard though.  Also a lot of love for Joe Mazzulla and Brad Stevens.    The comment about winning and losing habits was so true.  That's why tanking bothers me.  The comment about a black hole being historically dominant on defense gave me a chuckle.  My favorites are in bold...

Ted’s Talk: Opportunistic Seahawks do birds dirty in Atlanta

I’ll be honest, at halftime with the Seattle Seahawks playing to a 6-6 tie with the Atlanta Falcons, I was becoming a little concerned with Seattle’s offense. At that point, their production in the last seven quarters had been one Zach Charbonnet touchdown and a whole mess of field goals. Seattle’s defense produced just as […]

10 takeaways from Boston breaking Toronto’s defensive shell

#1 – Queta generated 19 points through screens Neemias Queta might be the best screener in the NBA at the moment. At least, looking at this chart, he is the player with the most points via screen assists relative to his playing time. Last night, he helped the Celtics score 19 points with his screens, […]

A BAD Weekend, Vanacker Snubbed? Slaggert’s Role, Patience, and Other Blackhawks Bullets

One week ago, the Blackhawks came back from a three-goal deficit to blow the doors off the Anaheim Ducks in Chicago. The game was chippy. The two teams were chirping each other the entire 60 minutes. And the Blackhawks let them know what the final score was as they left the ice. One week later, Joel Quenneville may have dusted off his Michael Jordan “and I took that personally” meme collection and got his team ready to play. The Blackhawks didn’t get off the bus, and the Ducks didn’t take...

Commanders Vs. Vikings – Studs and Duds

One week after a valiant effort against a very good Denver Broncos team at home, Washington came out and laid an egg against the struggling Minnesota Vikings on the road.
