It’s probably logical to assume that at least entering the 2025-26 season, Quentin Grimes was just playing out his contract and his days as a Sixer were numbered. After all, Grimes and the Sixers were at odds all summer and the two sides seemingly never got close on a long-term deal. In the end, Grimes […]
Will Boston be ready to compete? This may sound like a dumb question, but there’s some merit to it. Will Boston be ready to compete against a Golden State team missing some of its biggest names?

The beat The opponent tonight is looking to make some history. The Golden State Warriors were the last team to go back-to-back, and the Oklahoma City Thunder are looking to break the streak this year. They were on the road last night and held on to beat a good Orlando Magic team, 113-108. They’ve now […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are loaded on the wing, but have a lack of center depth at the NHL level. They have several pivots occupying their top 10 prospects list, but for immediate help at the NHL level, the team will have to look elsewhere. That has prompted Philly insider and Daily Faceoff writer Anthony Di Marco to propose four trade targets for the team to go after this summer. Robert Thomas, St. Louis Blues Thomas was the biggest name out there at the trade deadline, but the Blues ne...
Turns out tankers are not only tankers, but also bad-as-hell buncha guys. The Knicks trounced the Pacers, and the best is yet to come as they 1) were without JB and 2) next face the Nets. Forgive me for the lack of multimedia bits today, but X is down right now. Cold world. Mike Brown […]

It’s been almost 20 years since Seattle lost its basketball team. The SuperSonics were relocated, renamed, and now the Oklahoma City Thunder have morphed into an NBA powerhouse.

BOSTON — It’s hard to pinpoint exactly when I realized I wasn’t very good at basketball. It may have been the first time I picked up the ball and watched both my older sister and younger brother hurl it toward the basket with far more ease than I. It might have been when I didn’t […]
After an uncomfortable win over the Clippers on Sunday, the Spurs headed north to play the hapless Kings, who are locked in a desperate battle with the Nets, Wizards, and Pacers to be the most inept team in the NBA. Even so, the second night of a back-to-back is always somewhat unpredictable, and the Kings […]
How quickly things can change. It was just a week ago that the Toronto Raptors lost by double digits to the New Orleans Pelicans, and the team (minus Immanuel Quickley) seemed perfectly alright with Dejounte Murray punking Jamal Shead. The team was dealing with the (data-backed) narrative that they took care of bad teams but […]
News has officially broke today that Top Rank has just reached an unspecified multi-year agreement with streaming platform DAZN to be its new broadcasting partner.

I get it: when people think of the most cursed NBA franchises of all time, the Sacramento Kings are at the top of mind. No one can blame them. Never forget how Mike Bibby ate an elbow to the face from Kobe Bryant, and was called for a blocking foul in Game 6, or how […]
With so many Kansas City Royals at the center, Craig Brown looks at what made Venezuela-Italy so joyous.

Indiana Football Curt Cignetti to drive Indy 500 Pace Car! Colts sign CB Taylor-Britt! Pacers lose to generous Knicks!
After more than 100 hours of negotiations, the WNBA and WNBPA have verbally agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Both sides shared the news with reporters in the lobby of a Midtown Manhattan hotel just before 3 a.m. ET. No details about the agreement have yet to be divulged. After a formal term […]
From the moment Derrick White joined the Celtics, there hasn’t been a more seamless fit alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. You could see it in his debut, when his first two plays created a layup and a dunk for the Jays. Right away, it was clear he’d fill the gaps and support Boston’s stars. […]
The Pacers (15–54) limped into Madison Square Garden on a 13-game losing streak, but they always bring the fire against the Knicks (45*-25). After Indy shot brilliantly through the first half, they crashed back to Earth in the second. Behind Josh Hart’s 33 points, a Knicks career high, our heroes celebrated St. Patrick’s Day with […]
Victor Wembanyama is the undisputed future of basketball. His talent, size, agility, IQ, and maturity are a letheal mix bound to ring throughout the league for years to come.
