Has it really been almost nine years? Yes, that’s how long it’s been since my most recent personal playoff climax. Sure, the Spurs made the playoffs in 2018 and 2019. But those series can’t even remotely compete with what happened in the early hours of May 10, 2017 (May 9 in the US). I had […]
Coming off an impressive win against the East-leading Detroit Pistons, the Spurs traveled north of the border to take on the Toronto Raptors. The first half was a back-and-forth affair, with the Spurs generating offense through fast-paced ball movement, resulting in open shots. Devin Vassell’s hot shooting continued, and Dylan Harper started six of six […]
The Utah Jazz will play in front of their fans for the first time in two weeks on Thursday night. Unfortunately for Jazz fans, it might not be a star-studded affair, as Lauri Markkanen and Keyonte George are both listed as questionable for the game against New Orleans. With both player likely out, and the […]
Jamie Dixon and the TCU Horned Frogs are looking overseas for talent and the program landed a commitment from Serbian forward Milos Sojic. The 6-foot-10 forward is 19 years old and currently plays for the professional team KK Beko Belgrade. Sojic, whose commitment was announced on Wednesday, is averaging 18.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.4 […]
More of the same. The Brooklyn Nets came home following a three game road trip to take on the Dallas Mavericks. Brooklyn lost their fifth game in a row as the Mavs came away with a 123-114 win. In the race that most everyone cares about, the Nets are third. Either way, these games will […]
A late-February matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings usually serves as a preview of the annual snooze-fest the two teams play in the first round of the playoffs in the spring. That might not be the case this year. As it stands, the Kings sit outside the playoff picture, three points back…
The Dallas Mavericks (21–36, 11–11 Home) host the Sacramento Kings (13–46, 4–27 Away) on Thursday night in a matchup that should, on paper, favor the home team. Sacramento limps into town on the second night of a back-to-back, sporting the worst record in the league and a decimated roster. Dallas, meanwhile, is riding a two-game […]
Things are running just a bit slow on site this morning due to some technical difficulties. To tide you over until your regularly-scheduled programming commences, we’re going to ask a quick discussion question. We’ve seen the 2025-26 Portland Trail Blazers play almost 60 games now. You know their ins and outs, ups and downs. From […]
After the Celtics took a slim 67-66 lead with just under two minutes left in the third quarter against the Denver Nuggets Wednesday night, the wheels fell off. The Nuggets ended the third on a 11-0 run, which bled into the fourth and helped them run away with a 103-84 win to break Boston’s four-game […]
The Blackhawks return from the Olympic break on Thurdsay night, kicking off a four-game road trip with a stop in Nashville to face the Predators. These two teams met about six weeks ago at the same place, with Chicago winning 3-0 thanks to an incredible effort from rookie goalie Drew Commesso, who twirled a 36-save shutout in net while much of the Blackhawks roster was exhausted from either playing a second game in as many nights or from whatever illness was running rampant in the locker ...
This loss was a confluence of playing at altitude in the 3rd game in 4 nights and back to back games along with it being the final game of a road trip. Can't be too upset. Their shots were flat and they just didn't have enough in the tank to beat the Nuggets. For all their complaints about Jokic, he had 30 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. They don't deserve him. Once again I love how many Celtics fans that were there. My favorites are in ...
The Washington Wizards have signed Jamir Watkins to a two-year standard contract, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. The first year of Watkins’ deal will likely run through the end of the 2025-26 season, with the second year putting him under contract through the 2026-27 campaign. Watkins, 24, was selected by Washington with the No. 43 pick […]
Whether you’re a fan of Jabari Smith jkr. or still wish Houston drafted Paolo Banchero or Chet Holmgren, there’s no denying that Jabari Smith seems to have turned a corner after struggling for a stretch earlier this year. In the four games after the All-Star break, Jabari has scored 15, 21, 31 and 12 points, […]
After a disappointing loss on Tuesday, and the first loss post All-Star break, the Miami Heat are searching for a bounce back win. They will continue this road trip by taking on Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. This is a matchup that will have some important Eastern Conference standings implications. The eighth seed Heat, […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat head to Philadelphia for crucial matchup on East standings appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
I’ll be honest, when the Lillard trade went down, and those picks went out the door, I was at once incredibly excited about the immediate-term future and nervous about the long-term. Evaluating the roster, I thought the Bucks had two or maybe three years to win another title, and then after that, it could be […]
We’re beyond the Super Bowl but not quite to the start of the new league year so it’s a somewhat quiet time in the NFL. Let’s pass the time by talking about the Minnesota Vikings. Where’s the most random place you’ve run into a Vikings player or coach, and who was it? You could always […]
Seattle Seahawks rookie receiver and returner Tory Horton only played half the season yet finished fourth in the regular season for total touchdowns. Unfortunately, a shin injury following a two-touchdown performance against the Washington Commanders proved unrecoverable for the remainder of the year. Speaking with media at the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday, Seahawks head […]
There are never too many unbelievable quotes to share, are they? Not when it comes to your 2026 New York Knicks. Here’s a bunch more content to worry about while the Bockers gear up to face the Bucks on Friday. Mike Brown On adjusting the Knicks’ style of play and still evolving the system with […]
As we breathlessly await the next trickle of information about Jayson Tatum’s eventual return to the court, it makes sense to discuss something that I’m sure the coaching staff has been thinking about for a long time. Who starts when Tatum returns? And what are the trickle down impacts of the rest of the rotation? […]
Back in December, Field Gulls took a look at how the Seattle Seahawks and general manager John Schneider changed the core approach of the team in free agency, specifically signing a trio of outside free agents to multi-year deals while adding Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp and DeMarcus Lawrence. The signings marked a departure from statements […]
MJ Melendez, once upon a time, was a top prospect in the game of baseball. The now 27 year old was a 2017 second round pick (52nd overall) by the Kansas City Royals out of high school, and ascended through the minor leagues rather quickly. Originally a catcher, Melendez reached High-A ball in 2019 before […]
His IQ was described as beyond his years already back in high school. Khris Middleton, one of the new additions to the Dallas Mavericks roster in the Anthony Davis trade to the Washington Wizards, is not just any NBA veteran. Second star at his peak in Milwaukee, once fighting for the top spot with later […]
It’s been a few weeks since I’ve done a full eight-game preview piece, so I’m a little rusty. Forgive me if my writing and/or analysis isn’t as sharp as usual. Let’s dive in. Thursday, Feb. 26 Bryant @ UMBC (6 p.m. ET, ESPN+) Lest we forget, it was only a month ago when Bryant took […]
