We’re back! And we’re confirmed to be a good NBA team — “gap season” what? 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 […]
Men’s Basketball Game of the Week: Washington beats No. 24 USC, 84-76 This game looked like a “Welcome to the Big Ten” moment for USC if I’ve ever seen one. After pulling out a gritty win over Oregon earlier in the week, the Trojans got far too complacent after building a sizable first-half lead in […]

Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them. Today we look at a veteran pitcher who had something of a bounce-back year in 2025. Who is he […]

After the report of Milwaukee Bucks’ superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo contemplating hisfuture, the rest of the league remains on standby. The former two-time MVP and Defensive Player of the Year is undoubtedly the biggest player that could hit the trade market this season. If you’re betting on where Giannis could land next—or just backing your favorite […] The post Can the Miami Heat make a real trade push for Giannis Antetokounmpo? appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
Marc Stein of The Stein Line has reported that the Bucks are among the teams that have shown interest in trading for LA Clippers guard Chris Paul, who was recently sent home by the franchise. I guess the idea would be that the Bucks need more primary initiators. For what it’s worth, I think the […]
Before the 2025-26 season began, there was a sector of Sixers fans who wondered what the team’s tanking path could look like with Joel Embiid and Paul George both recovering from knee surgeries. There were some who pondered what the team could get for Tyrese Maxey in a trade. Others even thought about using Jared […]
Victor Wembanyama started his third season on proverbial fire. However, this was dampened by what has become the second scariest set of words on any injury report: “calf strain.” This is of course because the words that strike the most fear are: “Achilles tear,” and after three stars went down with that injury last playoffs, […]
The art of the free throw is something that should not be complicated. After all, they’re free for a reason. The Knicks are, by and large, a great free-throw shooting team. Jalen Brunson shoots 85%, Karl-Anthony Towns shoots 88%, Jordan Clarkson shoots 83%. Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, Landry Shamet, and Deuce McBride all shoot above […]

Team executives start to mull around ideas of roster reshuffling and what they want their teams to look like post-trade deadline. For the most part, mid-season […]
With their loss to Everton in the Women’s Super League last weekend, the dream of a truly unbeaten season for Chelsea Women has come to an end. It might be the “punch” we need to get back on the winning track as we host Italian outfit AS Roma at Stamford Bridge on a night of […]
The Mavericks were 2-1 again this past week and jumped to 11th place in the West. They beat Miami (118-108) at home on Wednesday before going to Oklahoma City, where they got whooped by the Thunder (132-111). They came back home the next night for a huge bounce-back win against Houston (122-109). Cooper Flagg led […]
Yesterday, the Spurs hosted their 13th annual Christmas Tree Donation. The event, co-hosted by Bruce Bowen and members of Methodist Healthcare and Methodist Healthcare Ministries staff, gave away more than 150 decorated Christmas trees and holiday wreaths to existing patients and clients. The Spurs continue to brighten up the season, even as the active players […]
This is a series that looks at the best Atlanta Hawks of the past 25 seasons dating back to the 2000-01 season. No. 6 Jeff Teague can be found here. Even though Josh Childress was the higher selection in the 2004 NBA Draft, the selection of Josh Smith at 17th overall ultimately became the turning point for a […]
The blockbuster trade that landed Kevin Durant on the Houston Rockets was quite the bargain for Rockets GM Rafael Stone. The Rockets had to surrender Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and the 10th overall pick in the draft. That’s a relatively small price to pay for one of the game’s greatest players ever, even if he is […]
Duke fans got a really good sense of Kon Knueppel’s game last year but honestly: how many of you thought Knueppel would be a serious contender for Rookie of the Year? We didn’t. Around here, we thought he’d be better than expected, but doing what he’s doing? Did we think he’d be blowing the league […]
