Barcelona assistant coach Marcus Sorg will be on the sidelines for the Blaugrana’s trip to the capital to face Real Madrid in El Clasico, and he admitted that he’d much rather have his boss in his place on Sunday. Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Sorg was asked about the impact of Flick’s absence […]
Earlier this week, we had a survey asking for your grade on the Washington Wizards’ preseason. After looking at your grades, 48 percent gave a grade of C, while 21 percent gave B’s and 16 percent gave D’s. It paints a picture that Wizards fans’ grades were the definition of mediocrity. No, it’s not that […]
In a game that was far from perfect for the Bucks, they managed to pull out a 122-116 victory over the Toronto Raptors. The team had 18 turnovers (most coming in the first half), and didn’t shoot great from three (14/40), but still found a way to gut it out. Giannis was monstrous, and as […]
For all the wrong reasons, the Portland Trail Blazers have been at the center of the NBA universe over the last 48 hours. So what did that epicenter at 1 N Center Court Street look like Friday night as the Blazers hosted the Golden State Warriors about two days after Blazers Head Coach Chauncey Billups […]
The new-look Wisconsin Badgers take the ice Saturday to kick off a two-game series with Minnesota State, playing without standout seniors Laila Edwards and Kirsten Simms as both recover from lower-body injuries. It also marks the final two games before both men’s and women’s hockey host top-five Minnesota teams for simultaneous Border Battles. For most […]
So the exhibition game yesterday didn’t go as most of us would’ve liked. Matt Painter however is probably very happy to learn something about his team that he can’t learn on a 5 on 5 in practice with guys he recruited. However, I still wanted to check in with all of you on if the […]
The Atlanta Hawks secured their first win of the 2025-26 regular season with a comeback victory against the Orlando Magic on Friday night at the Kia Center, 111-107. Trae Young led the Hawks with 25 points, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 19 points. For the Magic, Franz Wagner scored a game-high 27 points with Desmond Bane […]
Ahead of his first Clásico as Real Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso responded to Kiyan Sobhani of Managing Madrid about the importance of finding a target in the box on Saturday in his pre-game press conference as he said, “it’s a matter of quality of the individual players. We have another kind of striker with much […]
Tyrese Proctor fell to the second round in this past summer’s NBA Draft and when he did, the Cleveland Cavaliers made it clear they felt like they got a steal. And so far, so good. The Cavs have a lot of injuries, which means other guys have to step up and so far, Proctor has. […]
The Mavericks lost to the Wizards on Friday night, 117-107. It was an ugly game for Dallas, and one of the main reasons for that is their clear lack of a point guard. For the last seven years, it was easy to gloss over just how important a game manager is because they had, arguably, […]
The Washington Wizards beat the Dallas Mavericks for their first win of the season in a game that was hard-fought, entertaining, and incredibly encouraging. I know — I’m aways the one telling folks not to take too much from one game. And I’m saying it now in part to get myself to tap the brakes. […]

Expectations are high this year for the Cleveland Cavaliers. They tore through the last regular season with 64 wins before falling apart in the second round of the playoffs, partially due to injuries. Cleveland’s front office responded to the loss by reinforcing their bench with all-around players in Lonzo Ball and Larry Nance Jr. That, […]
The Philadelphia 76ers will take the floor at the Xfinity Mobile Arena for the first time in the 2025-26 regular season, hosting the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night. The Sixers are — perhaps a bit surprisingly — 1-0 after taking down the Boston Celtics 117-116 at TD Garden earlier this week. It was a gutsy, […]
Robert Lewandowski is one of the senior figures in the dressing room at Barcelona but isn’t part of the team’s leadership group. Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ronald Araujo, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong and Raphinha are the captains for the 2025-26 season, with Lewandowski overlooked once again. Barcelona’s players traditionally vote for the captains and journalist Toni […]
It doesn’t seem like Hugo Gonzalez will be making any trips to Maine anytime soon. Gonzalez, the lone Celtics first-rounder selected in this past summer’s 2025 NBA Draft, debuted against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Friday night, and didn’t disappoint. The 19-year-old logged 23 minutes and quickly proved that the preseason flashes which […]

LOS ANGELES – El Matador. Wonder Boy. El Niño Maravilla. Luka Magic. These are just a few of Luka Dončić’s nicknames. Each of them is meant to capture an aspect of his greatness, but maybe instead of a catchy slogan, we can just call Luka what he is: the best player in the NBA. While that might […]
Game Story You’ve heard of Prime Time. But tonight was a different type of Prime Time. It was the first primetime NBA game on Amazon Prime. On a beautiful 70 degree Los Angeles evening, Crypto.com Arena was packed full of fans and stars. Dwyane Wade. Candace Parker. Justin Herbert. Even the Timberwolves very own Kevin […]
A one-point loss at the horn — not a bad way to go for a team of the Utah Jazz’s standing. A needed loss to keep the locomotive from slinging off the rails on a short-sighted winning frenzy. Two straight wins to open the season would have split Jazz fans into warring factions, each carrying […]
The Portland Trail Blazers played the first game of their Tiago Splitter era with effort, resolve, and verve on Friday evening. They hosted the veteran Golden State Warriors, led by former MVP and future Hall-of-Famer Steph Curry. Curry was everything advertised, scoring 35 points on 7-14 shooting from beyond the arc. And it didn’t matter […]
LeBron James knows a thing or two about product placement and celebrity endorsements. On Friday night, he gave the Arizona Wildcats men’s basketball program a solid by wearing his son Bryce’s Arizona jersey to the Los Angeles Lakers’ game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. LeBron, who is sitting on the bench to begin the season due […]
The Jazz flew into Sacramento fresh off a tune-up exhibition game against a local senior center decisive win over the Los Angeles Clippers, ready to test themselves against the Sacramento Kings, another California team with an eclectic assortment of players. Russell Westbrook. DeMar DeRozan. Zach Lavine. Domantas Sabonis. The Kings, while formidable, would have been […]
