St. Louis is making it clear they are not giving Justin Faulk away for a small price. Elliotte Friedman’s latest chatter has the Blues aiming for an asking price that mirrors what the Calgary Flames just pulled off for Rasmus Andersson, which is basically the “serious contender tax” in a thin defense market right now.

1. Tough Day at the Office After the Celtics went into Atlanta and beat the Hawks by 26, Atlanta decided to return the favor by beating Boston 117-106 in TD Garden. It was an annoying game to watch because every time the Celtics got close to coming back and cut into the lead, the Hawks […]

BOSTON — Jaylen Brown felt apologetic after Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu was left missing a tooth following Wednesday night’s 117-106 Celtics loss at TD Garden. In the fourth quarter, Brown swung his right elbow and connected with Okongwu’s jaw on an offensive possession. Okongwu immediately clutched his face and was left bloodied and missing a […]

The Dallas Mavericks lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 118-105 Wednesday night in Dallas. It was a weird, disjointed game that saw Dallas trailing by double-digits for most of the second half, but never letter Minnesota pull away. It was an ugly game, with lots of turnovers, fouls, and missed shots. Dallas started feisty, like they […]

Washington’s 21 points, Naji Marshall’s 18, and Brandon Williams’ 17, who was forced into a larger role with Cooper Flagg sidelined. Minnesota countered with 31 from Julius Randle, 23 […]

If I were an actual teacher, I’d be quite tempted to dock the entire class points for what was, by all accounts, a thorough and unquestionable defeat to the shorthanded Golden State Warriors.
