Atlanta has not made the playoffs in two seasons. In fact, since they made the Conference Finals in 2021, their success has slowly tailed off. They have lost in the first round twice, had a winning record once, and have had three head coaches. It has been a whirlwind for the Hawks, and not the […]
It’s over. The offseason is behind us. This time next week, the Boston Celtics will be on pace for either 82, 41, or 0 wins after their first two games against the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks. The Celtics have more uncertainty surrounding their roster than in any of the previous eight seasons, […]
Things have quieted down a little bit in Jazzland as the Jazz are preparing for the regular season opener. Nevertheless, some moves were made as contract deadlines were hit, and there were a few notes of interest. Here’s the latest odds and ends of Jazz news. Utah Jazz waived Mo Bamba, Pedro Bradshaw, and Sean […]
The Carolina Hurricanes found another way to win Saturday evening, moving the team to 5-0-0 on the season and remaining as the only undefeated team in the National Hockey League. The Canes started on time Saturday night in Los Angeles, and for the first half of the game, it seemed as though Carolina would run […]
A meltdown of epic proportions in Charlottesville, Virginia for the Washington State Cougars. Boneheaded mistakes, presnap penalties, and a lack of offense allowed the No. 18 Virginia Cavaliers to erase a 17-7 halftime deficit to win it 22-20. Much like WSU’s (3-4) win over Colorado State, the offense couldn’t get anything going in the second […]
The Spurs did the expected and parted ways with Adam Flagler, Micha Potter, and Stanley Umude. All three were waived on Saturday, the team announced. Flagler, Umude and Potter were on Exhibit 10 contracts, also known as training camp deals, so it’s not a surprise they are gone now that the Spurs’ preseason is over […]
It would be fair to assume that, after declaring Friday’s preseason finale as a dress rehearsal, the starting lineup in that contest would be the starting lineup when the regular season opens. To that point, though, the lineup selected against the Kings was certainly surprising. The inclusion of Gabe Vincent was not one anyone expected, […]
After a long offseason buzzing with excitement, we’re finally on the verge of the 2025-26 NBA season. With opening night just days away, it’s only fair to take a Knicks-centric look at how things are shaping up in the East ahead of the year. And believe your eyes and ears; the Knicks might have a […]
Get ready to lose some sleep tonight again, it’s gameday. The road trip continues tonight where the Carolina Hurricanes travel to take on the Los Angeles Kings at 9 PM. Similar to last game, if you are in the Carolina area, you can catch the game on FanDuel Sports Network with pregame starting around 30 […]
The Washington Wizards announced that they waived guard Kadary Richmond guard Alondra Williams earlier today. The move isn’t particularly surprising because Richmond only played once in the preseason for just under six minutes. Williams also played only one game and had just under 12 minutes of action. The two were previously on Exhibit 10 contracts.
After the Milwaukee Bucks had opted to cut former second-round pick Chris Livingston, they were down to 16 players on the roster who had fully or partially guaranteed deals. That left Andre Jackson Jr., Tyler Smith, and Amir Coffey to duke it out for the final two available slots. It appears that a decision has […]
Atlanta made some moves towards finalizing their opening day roster. The Hawks announced earlier today that they had waived center Charles Bassey and guard Lamont Butler. That pair will likely clear waivers and end up on the College Park Skyhawks, earning a cool $85,300 if they last a few months with the team. Now, this […]

BYU went to Lincoln and lost a tight 90-89 game to the Cornhuskers Saturday. This was an exhibition game and does not count towards either team’s win/loss total. Andrej Kostic and Jared McGregor missed shots in the final seconds that would have given BYU the win. BYU treated this like a NBA preseason game, and […]
With the preseason in the rear view mirror, the Lakers are trimming down the extra pieces on their roster. On Saturday, the team announced they had waived RJ Davis, Augustas Marčiulionis, Anton Watson and Nate Williams. All four players were on Exhibit-10 contracts. As a reminder, an Exhibit-10 contract incentivizes a player to sign with […]
No more preseason play for the New York Knicks after they capped their exhibition tour with a 4-1 record. The next time you watch your Knickerbockers play basketball will be Wednesday, when they take on the Cleveland Wannabe-Knicks. Here’s the latest we’ve heard from Coach Brown and a couple players. Mike Brown On Mitchell Robinson […]
Let’s get the qualifiers out of the way before we begin: yes, it was the preseason, and yes, the Timberwolves played mostly deep reserves. Still, there were plenty of encouraging signs ahead of the Sixers’ regular season opener next Wednesday in Boston. Here are three big takeaways. Processing Joel Embiid played basketball for the first […]
First, there was the sound. The metallic, bone-vibrating ring of the backboard, and only then the picture: the ball falling through the net while Toyota Center turns into an aquarium of school fish, all eyes wide, all asking if this is possible. Rockets disarmed at the buzzer. Milwaukee wins 110–107. And Monta Ellis, the one […]
The LA Kings have started the 2025-26 season with a record of 1-3-1, but things get worse. The team has now lost its captain and top line center, Anze Kopitar, for the time being. It was reported that he will be out week-to-week with a foot injury after being hit in the foot by a puck in the previous game against the Minnesota Wild .

The NBA is about to bring us real-stakes basketball with the preseason in the rearview mirror and the regular season starting early next week. Your New York Knicks completed the exhibition circuit with an exquisite 4-1 record, only losing one game, but with a few players getting banged up in a more concerning development than […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are deeper than they’ve been in years. That depth arguably extends to their two-way contracted players, and while Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love will spend a good deal of time with the Rip City Remix this season, the pair appear to be ready to contribute with the big club when required. […]
The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Let’s narrow the focus to men. The plans of mice mostly seem to be to infiltrate the basement apartments of non-cat-owning humans. Their motivations outside of this endeavor are unclear. Plans are infamously difficult to make. The best plans aren’t linear. They have built-in […]
Our Washington State Cougars once again hop on a plane and head to a faraway land, this time Charlottesville, Virginia, home of the no. 18 Virginia Cavaliers. If last week’s game was any indication, our Cougs are up to the task. Last week’s near-upset of no. 4 Ole Miss put some hope in the minds […]
Obviously Cooper Flagg is off to a great start with the Dallas Mavericks, but in Charlotte, his former Duke teammate Kon Knueppel is also doing well. He’s made an impression on his coach, Charles Lee, who said this about his progress: “I think Kon has done a great job of finding his way, learning things, […]
