All hope seemed to be lost for the San Antonio Spurs in Game Three. With 7:30 left in the quarter, the team was down 15 points on the road, with no offensive rhythm, no defensive resistance, and no Victor Wembanyama. That was until a rookie of all people put the team on his back and, […]
Things are not trending in the right direction in Villanova’s quest for a starting center. In the past 24 hours, Boston center Ben Defty and College of Charleston center Christian Reeves have committed to Arizona State and Kansas, respectively. This takes two reported targets for the Wildcats off of the board, a board which was […]

Tyrese Maxey has been living quite comfortably in this series. Not in the sense that every shot is falling or every possession ends in points, but in the way that’s slightly concerning with every passing game. Through three games, he’s largely been getting to his spots and dictating pace. When the Sixers need something to […]
Losing home-court advantage before hitting the road against the Philadelphia 76ers prompted a sense of urgency for the Boston Celtics. To them, Game 3 might as well have been a win-or-go-home contest. There were no thoughts of returning to Boston with another split. No feeling of settling. The locker room had made up its mind […]
WELCOME TO THE COLISEUM ALFONSO PÉREZ!!! The tiny home of Getafe in Madrid is the site of a big La Liga match between the hosts and leaders Barcelona, who come into this one looking for their first win away to Getafe in six years to stay in full control of the title race. This should […]

Home runs and head scratchers from the 2nd day of the NFL draft A 4 day, tornado-heavy weather pattern is set up across the central US In things […]
Game 1 had been a Boston blowout. Game 2 had featured a barrage by the Sixers’ bumptious backcourt. But Friday’s Game 3? That looked and felt like playoff games often tend to look and feel, especially those between ancient rivals like Boston and Philadelphia. It was a night that saw Sixers forward Paul George take […]

For all the fanfare and enthusiasm that went into the Portland Trail Blazers’ first home playoff game in five years, Game 3 versus the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night amounted to one big squandered opportunity in Rip City. A squandered 15-point second-half lead. A squandered chance to take advantage of superstar Victor Wembanyama’s absence. […]
In Today’s Link’s: full breakdowns and several takeaways regarding the two selections made by our Seattle Seahawks yesterday afternoon.

Excited to see how our squad finishes off the draft, and of course, the subsequent UFDA signings that begin later today. […]
The Knicks head back to State Farm Arena for Game Four against the Hawks, down 2-1 in their first-round playoff series. New York must find a way to stop the bleeding after dropping two straight one-point losses, including Thursday’s 109-108 bummer in Game Three. The Knicks can still win the series, but you’re forgiven for […]
The Houston Rockets fell into a practically insurmountable hole against the Los Angeles Lakers, falling 112-108 in overtime to a team still missing two of its three best players. The Rockets were also without Kevin Durant, but they had a chance to win the game, but fell apart down the stretch and into overtime, with […]

The NBA first round is well underway, and while the Mavericks aren’t participating, there are still lessons to be learned. As the Mavericks approach a pivotal offseason, they should focus on the trends that emerged during the playoffs. Certain types of players thrive within the heightened physicality and focus of the playoffs, while others fail. […]
What’s a night of playoff basketball without the Brotherhood? It doesn’t happen very often, and it didn’t happen Friday night. Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers, 108-100. Luke Kennard helped JJ Redick’s Los Angeles Lakers beat the Houston Rockets, 112-108. Finally, Mason Plumlee and the San Antonio Spurs knocked off the […]
Given the nature of the rivalry Duke fans naturally keep an eye on the other end of 15-501, and of course, that’s true for UNC as well. There was a big development in Chapel Hill Saturday, as center Henri Veesaar decided to remain in the NBA Draft rather than return to Chapel Hill. Is it […]
I am 52. Most of my friends are around my age. On a regular basis, someone I know turns fifty. And this is what I send them: Five-Oh! Today Tim Duncan turns the big 5-0! Tim Duncan is one of the GOATs of the game, one who exemplified Spurs Culture and said more with his […]
1. TATUMadelphia After years of hitting clutch shots and beating the Toronto Raptors in playoff series, LeBron James eventually got the nickname “LeBronto.” At what point do we come up with a nickname for Jayson Tatum against the 76ers? In my mind I will go with “Tatumadelphia” but I’m sure there’s a better one that […]

When the best big men in basketball history are discussed, people always say the same basic names: Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O’Neal, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and Bill Walton. Arvydas Sabonis always gets overlooked. There are valid reasons for that. First, a Lithuanian by birth, he grew up a Soviet […]
The Celtics led for most of the night, but it never quite felt secure. The energy was definitely leaning more toward Philadelphia. Their fans were engaged, and the Sixers continued to feed them with explosive shotmaking and momentum swinging moments. Boston’s lead never grew to more than 10, and the Sixers chopped it down each […]
