We’re back! Welcome to the five highest-IQ plays of the week! Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve. The plays that get the basketball sickos and nerds out of their chairs. The plays […]

Monday night in Brooklyn, the Knicks picked up their tenth win of the season. What have we learned after sixteen games of data? First, depending on the venue, the Knicks are very Jekyll-and-Hyde-y.

Well, it’s Groundhog Day again. Or, at least, it certainly feels like it. The Philadelphia 76ers suffered their worst defeat of the early season on Tuesday night in front of a home crowd, falling 144-103 to the Orlando Magic in an NBA Cup game. Honestly, the score makes it sound somehow closer than it actually […]

The Chicago Bulls are thankful to be over .500. Billy Donovan and his players deserve credit for their 6-1 start to the year. They immediately defied expectations and picked up some genuinely impressive wins. The Pistons, Magic, Hawks, and Knicks each currently sit above them in the league standings, but the Bulls took them down during that initial two-week stretch. Still, as more and more teams have settled in, the Bulls have done the opposite. The shock value has worn off, and it’s le...

The Bucks’ offense has cratered without Giannis in the lineup—hopefully ameliorated as soon as tonight—and HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto is connecting them to Kings wing Zach LaVine. Plenty of recent reports have mentioned that 5-13 Sacramento would entertain moving off their high-priced vets like LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. While the latter is a less optimal fit, […]

Mike Coppinger has an update on Subriel Matias’ failed drug test for ostarine. Per the New York State Athletic Commission, Matias’ (23-2, 22 KO) “adverse finding” revealed a concentration of 0.085 ng/ml. While the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA) treats any amount of ostarine as a violation, this was administered by VADA, which has a threshold […]

The Lakers finally got their full team healthy for the first time this season, but that lasted all of one-and-a-half games. Deandre Ayton’s injury halted the team’s chance to finally see their starting five together, but it appears to only be a short-term absence as head coach JJ Redick said he expects the big man […]

NBA Cup action returns tonight as the Milwaukee Bucks play the Miami Heat at the Kaseya Center. The Bucks remain undefeated in group play and are hopeful this trend continues and springboards them back into winning ways after losing their last five games, including a 12-point loss to a very shorthanded Portland Trail Blazers team […]

The Seattle Seahawks rookies combined for 158 snaps in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Tory Horton being placed on IR certainly had a major impact on that number. It could have been even lower had Grey Zabel not managed to play through injury. It’s also worth noting that the offense had 26 fewer plays […]

Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant missed Monday’s game against the Phoenix Suns, due to a personal family matter. The game would’ve been a homecoming, of sorts, for KD. He’ll also miss Wednesday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, due to the same reason. The early thought *should be* that we hope all is well with […]

Quandre Diggs was recently added by the Seattle Seahawks, and that may not seem like a big deal, but he’s a former teammate of Matthew Stafford, and he also has picked off Stafford at least twice (based on my research with Google and Seahawks.com).
