Let’s Talk About Frank Nazar, Scoring Struggles, Process and Still Having a “Really Good Night”

The Blackhawks’ win over the Rangers on Wednesday night checked almost every box that you would want from the team. Connor Bedard scored a highlight-reel goal. Tyler Bertuzzi deposited loose change again. Spencer Knight was spectacular in net and got a shutout. The Blackhawks were able to beat Igor Shesterkin three times. It was the right bounce-back effort that you hoped to see. When I say almost every box, that’s because Frank Nazar still can’t buy a goal. He had a few chances. One...

We’re going to shoot so many threes that […]

Jaylon Tyson is only scratching the surface for Cavs

The Cleveland Cavaliers had options during the 2024 NBA Draft. Sitting in the late first round, they could have chosen a number of different prospects — or traded out of the draft altogether.

I will not stop dreaming about the Anthony Davis-Cooper Flagg connection

From the beginning, the theoretical pairing of All-Star level center, Anthony Davis, at the five and dynamic downhill monster and rookie, Cooper Flagg at the four, was an exciting thought for many a basketball minds.  What these two could accomplish together, if – again theoretically – they were put in their natural positions and managed […]

What we learned from the Spurs win over the Lakers

The San Antonio Spurs keep winning high-stakes games without Victor Wembanyama. Each player has doubled their payday to $106,187 if they go no further in Emirates Cup Play, and the two-way contracts get half of that.

LeBron James has made an All-NBA team for over two straight decades. His prime spanned 15 seasons. Figuring out what year was his absolute best can be debated.

The Wizards’ Numbers Are Historically Awful. Again.

The Washington Wizards are on an epic bizarro heater — consecutive seasons of historically awful basketball, which could well end up as the worst two-year run in NBA history.

YouTube Gold: Bob McAdoo, Revolutionary

Greensboro native Bob McAdoo is, in one sense, the first one-and-done in ACC history: after transferring into UNC from a JUCO, he left after just one season, getting drafted by the Buffalo Braves in 1972 with the #2 pick (in one of the great draft fiascos of all time, LaRue Martin went #1 and Julius […]
