Player Grades: Lakers vs. Kings

The Lakers have had many a frustrating loss this season, particularly over the last month, but Monday’s will rank near the top. In what has become a recurring nightmare, the purple and gold couldn’t hit an outside shot, couldn’t get defensive stops and got run off the court by an inferior team. That it came […]

The farewell tour LeBron James will go on after announcing his retirement will be as marketable as it will be memorable. As is the nature of life in 2026, everyone will be trying to get a piece of the pie. It’s with that in mind that Monday’s news feels a bit like a soft launch […]

Early 3pm Game First Half Discussion: Blazers vs. Knicks!

UPDATE: Jrue Holiday and Robert Williams III are both AVAILABLE to play. The Portland Trail Blazers have won five games in a row for the first time since 2021 – yes, seriously – and they look to keep the train rolling against the Knickerbockers of New York. We also may or may not get Jrue […]

I Can’t Stop Watching This Caleb Williams Throw

Michael Jordan over Craig Ehlo. Patrick Kane’s backhander for the hat trick against the Canucks. Caleb Williams’ 4th-and-8 throw to Rome Odunze in the 4th Quarter. By no means am I saying the Bears are on their way to dynasty runs like Michael Jordan’s Bulls or the Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews era Blackhawks. But if we’re fortunate enough to see Caleb Williams lead the Bears to a Super Bowl at one point, we’re going to look back at that throw as the official stamp of arrival. Jordan an...

Trevor Keels Update!

Trevor Keels has been somewhat quiet since leaving Duke in 2022 as a second-round draft pick of the New York Knicks. He probably could have used some more time in Durham but that was his decision and he’s still grinding away, trying to get to the league. His last G-League performance with the Sioux Falls […]

Rumor Mongering: Reds Plot United Gazumping Over Diomande 

After being months of being heavily linked to Antoine Semenyo, only to pull out because of Manchester City’s commercial might, it’s fair to say that Liverpool have been looking for a winger or two, both as a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, and for a particularly frustrating Dutch slumlord, who we have given a contract […]

The plays that get the basketball sickos and nerds out of their chairs. The plays […]

The problem isn’t the double-big lineup, it’s how it’s used

Over the last two years, we’ve seen different iterations of the double-big lineup that features both Karl-Anthony Towns and Mitchell Robinson. There are reasons that both Tom Thibodeau and Mike Brown have gone to it. It matches up better theoretically against bigger teams. It gives them an actual rim protector in Robinson, without giving up […]

The evolution of Deuce McBride

When the Knicks acquired Deuce McBride in the 2021 draft, he was looked at by many as an athletic defensive pest with some playmaking and shooting potential. While his height and lack of vertical ability on the offense were a concern for some, his 6’8.75” wingspan, instantly translatable defense, and encouraging metrics and stats during […]
