When you get a team in the second half of a back-to-back, don’t take your foot off the gas. And take advantage of your opportunities. Against the Kings, the Blackhawks dominated the first period but skated away with only one goal. Tonight, the Blackhawks put three goals on the board before the opening 20 minutes came to a close. And, when that horn sounded, ...
The second installment of Michael Jordan’s exclusive interview with the NBA on NBC dropped Tuesday night. In this week’s episode, Jordan shared his thoughts on “load management,” which has become a staple for teams over the past handful of years.

To little surprise, this trend has not sat well with the best to ever do it. Jordan suited up for all 82 games nin...
Quick, when was the last time Dalton Knecht had a good game?

But we do it anyway. […]
The Utah Mammoth have been such a welcome addition to the Beehive State.

You’ll notice that the subhead here says “a week of dreadful Nets basketball” and not “a dreadful week of Nets basketball.” Many, including myself, will argue that losing these basketball games as the 0-4 Brooklyn Nets have done so far benefits their long-term goals, which is to say, the tank is off to a terrific […]
