The Houston Rockets’ most glaring need thus far has been at the guard spot. They’ve struggled mightily to bring the ball up the court.

The severely shorthanded Lakers team that went 1-5 in the preseason cautiously stepped its way into the regular season only to become just as banged up, but have somehow found much different results by going 3-2 in their first five contests.

As everyone in the hockey world knows, Connor Bedard ‘s entry-level contract expires after the current season.

Earl Weaver died the year that I turned 25. That he died aboard a Caribbean cruise was a source of some amusement for those who’d known him. Though I can no longer find the quote, I recall at least one former player somberly jesting that it was the relaxation that killed the man so uniformly […]

Yeah, last night’s game sucked. After skating 10 games to start the regular season and the only blowouts being in the Blackhawks’ favor, there was finally a big, ugly loss to put on the board. Those are going to happen to every team every year. The Blackhawks have had more than their fair share of those the past few years. After sleeping on it, my thoughts on the Blackhawks’ loss shifted. Last night’s game felt a different. Rather than the “here we go again” exhausted, defeated feeli...
