Let’s get this out of the way immediately: the Oklahoma City Thunder are still the best team in the league.
However, it seems like other young, athletic teams — on the right night — have their number. Unfortunately for the Thunder, the second-best team in the West certainly applies to this rule. And it appears their quest for a 70-win season may be dead.
Here are our latest power rankings. I’ve changed things up a bit from Josh’s most recent rankings .

The Las Vegas Raiders have requested to interview Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak for their open head coach job after firing Pete Carroll, per Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer. Breer also notes that the New York Giants, Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta Falcons have requested to meet with Kubiak for their openings, and the coach will […]
Injuries are not, and cannot be, an excuse for how poorly the Knicks have played. While Josh Hart and Landry Shamet, and their excellent seasons, have been a pivotal part of the Knicks’ success, New York, if it wants to maintain its championship aspirations, cannot let two players impact their offensive process, defensive energy, and […]
Last week, when the NBA released the results of the first fan returns in NBA All-Star voting, Knicks fans were pleased to see that their favorite players were getting a lot of love. While the last few years had been headlined by how Brunson and his teammates were not getting enough votes, and how Knicks […]
The NBA’s newly formatted All-Star Game is just over a month away, and Tyrese Maxey continues to receive strong turnout on the ballots. That is, not quite as strong as Jalen Brunson, as the Knicks’ faithful propelled him to the top Eastern Conference guard vote-getter, and dropped the Sixers star to fifth overall in the […]
After Monday night’s embarrassing blowout loss to the Pistons, the Knicks are now third in the East and are in the midst of a four-game losing streak, the last three of which have come by double digits. The worst part? The results, as bad as they may look, don’t even tell the whole story. New […]

I write the introduction last. We’re already at 2000 words. Let’s get to it. Danny Wolf We’re starting with Wolf because Head Coach Jordi Fernández gave his most insightful answer of the season in response to a question about Wolf. Specifically, James Herbert of CBS Sports asked Fernández how he keeps directives clear when coaching […]
Jets head coach Aaron Glenn and general manager Darren Mougey held their end of the season press conference on Tuesday. These press conferences are typically light on substance. The team is in the beginning stages of preparing its offseason strategy and doesn’t want to telegraphic the parts it has figured out. Thus we got a […]
Over the next few months, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at some of the late season signings who are under contract for 2026, and futures signings after the end of the season. We begin today with defensive back Keidron Smith, who is under contract for next year having played for the Jets in the […]
Welcome to The Long Forecast on NetsDaily. We are officially in 2026, which means the NBA draft is now this year! As the NCAA season progresses, we see more players making a name for themselves as a super-talented draft class continues to take shape. Where do the Nets’ picks sit? Currently, Brooklyn owns the league’s […]
In the long lineage of beloved Yankees, the predominant image is of the stoic, poised figure who excelled under New York’s bright lights and handled the media like a professional. Joe DiMaggio. Derek Jeter. Aaron Judge. But there is also a storied history bubbling under the surface of fan favorites who won over the Bronx […]
Over at ESPN, Buster Olney and Jesse Rogers shared their perspectives on what’s happening right now behind the scenes with the MLB offseason. There’s plenty in there to peruse, including some notes on Alex Bregman that Michael will be discussing shortly.
I wanted to call out something on the pitching side, because it’s felt this way for a while, and Olney is specifically giving it voice :
“Which other free agent pitchers are coming up most in your recent conversations? Olney: Suare...
Ethan Edwards was the star of the win, while LaChance, Hameenaho, and Vilen all picked up goals this weekend. Friday On Friday, the Comets lost in Overtime 5-4 to Laval. Nico Daws earned the loss in this one, stopping 35 of 40. The Comets offense was lead by Brian Halonen, who scored twice. Hameenaho and […]
Trade smoke around Panarin, unease about Adam Fox’s future, and ownership signaling patience at the top: an early Media Bytes as the Rangers’ direction comes sharply into focus.
By virtue of his own talent and the talented teams he played on, Don Gullett was anointed as a future Hall of Famer by those around him in the early stages of his career. He racked up over 90 wins by the time he turned 25 and found himself compared to Sandy Koufax. Starting with […]
When Starling Marte joined the Mets on a four year, $78 million deal, it was to be somewhat expected that the backend of that contract wouldn’t be quite as appealing as the front end. Marte had just turned 33 when he signed the deal, and as we sit here a few months after his 37th […]
If you are paying close attention, you will see in the days ahead that the Jets are signing players to reserve/futures contracts. The process has already begun. You might wonder what this means. To answer the question, we first must talk about the NFL calendar. The maximum number of players a team is allowed to […]
With Shesterkin hurt, the Rangers’ thin margin for pretending this season is salvageable may finally be gone. And the on-ice product keeps reinforcing that reality.
The Dallas Cowboys’ season officially came to an end on Sunday afternoon. While you never root for losses, the Cowboys’ 34-17 loss to the New York Giants actually helped them in the long run. With the loss, Dallas moved up to 12th in the 2026 NFL Draft order, marking the second straight season the Cowboys […]
Meet the Mets The Mets remain interested in Freddy Peralta. Trade talks are expected to pick up for the Brewers’ ace, and the asking price remains high.

Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
First base had been something of a revolving door in the Bronx for years, dating all the way back to the departure of Mark Teixeira in 2016. The switch-hitting slugger provided years of All-Star level production at one of the game’s most important positions, but the Yankees were unable to find an immediate successor after […]
Good morning Gang Green Nation! Todd McShay says not one single player wants to be a Jet. Which on its face is probably mostly true. Mostly, not completely. Players taken early in the draft probably would prefer not to be a Jet if they have other options. Players taken late in the draft probably have […]
