Latest blog entries about NBA
I am hoping for a competitive game on Sunday and to see JJ McCarthy look the part provided he has ample protection. That would definitely portend well for the future of the Vikings. I have to believe he is going to thrive eventually just because I think KOC has a good eye for QBs. I […]

With 10 games under their belts, the Winnipeg Jets ( 7-3-0 ) and Chicago Blackhawks ( 5-3-2 ) are only separated by 2 points in the Central Division standings. The two rival franchises have had a common trait that has helped them to success this season ( graphic via MoneyPuck ): As you can see, the Jets & Blackhawks’ starting goaltenders have been excellent to begin the 2025-26 NHL campaign. Spencer Knight & Connor Hellebuyck are chasing the lead in the Goals Saved Above Expected cat...

The Blackhawks kick off a long road trip on Thursday night up in Canada against the Winnipeg Jets — and franchise icon Jonathan Toews. The Jets are off to a solid start through their first 10 games, sitting at a 7-3-0 record and looking like a team that’s found its footing early — or at least knows how to lean hard on Connor Hellebuyck until the rest catches up. The Jets are coming off a 4–3 overtime win against the Wild on Tuesday, and it’s a recap that will be familiar to Blackhawks fan...

It isn’t at the United Center, but that likely won’t change the emotions for many Blackhawks fans as they watch Jonathan Toews face his former team for the first time. The Jets come in only 3-3-0 at home (they’re undefeated on the road) and in third place in the Central Division. The Blackhawks, meanwhile, are only two points behind the Jets with both teams having played ten games. Note: Ilya Mikheyev was on the ice with the team for the morning skate, but Blackhawks head coach Jeff Bla...

Graduate student Graham Ike was named to the Karl Malone Award preseason watch list, an award that’s given to the best power forward in the country. Drew Timme, now with the South Bay Lakers (Los Angeles Lakers’ G League affiliate), won this honor in the 2020-21 season with the Zags. In his two seasons with […]

The Chicago Bulls keep turning heads. Entering the season with their sights set largely on development, expectations for the organization were rather low. Many sportsbooks and analysts projected the team to finish with a win total in the low 30s, presumably ending their Play-In Tournament streak by missing the postseason altogether. To be sure, we can’t rule this out only four games into the regular season, but early indications are that the Bulls could be on the brink of their best seaso...

The Minnesota Vikings have lost three of the five games since J.J. McCarthy went down with a high ankle injury. Carson Wentz did his best and kept the team afloat for a few weeks. McCarthy took a little longer than many expected to return from the injury. The last two weeks of Wentz were two […]

The Houston Rockets have struggled to get their offense into gear. Last year’s team wasn’t necessarily world-beaters on that end of the floor, but they were much better, even without Kevin Durant, one of the game’s greatest scorers ever. Even with the same double-big lineup, although Jabari Smith Jr. wasn’t a permanent starter, as the […]

We keep talking about how limited the options are for teams to make significant improvement via free agency . One name many Blackhawks fans have liked for a couple years — including me — is now off the market for the 2026 shopping season. On Thursday, the Colorado Avalance signed forward Martin Nečas to a blockbuster contract. The deal is reportedly an eight-year, $92M extension ($11.5M AAV).

In the Boston Celtics season opener, they lost a heartbreaker to the Philadelphia 76ers, a one-point loss in which Payton Pritchard wasn’t able to convert on either of the two game-winning shot attempts he had. Payton obviously wasn’t happy with the end result, not only for missing the shots, but also for not finding one […]

While Austin Reaves has certainly made it easier to stomach over the past week, Luka Dončić’s absence is still a big loss for the Lakers for obvious reasons. After starting the year red-hot himself, only a Herculean effort from Reaves has made the loss of Luka sting a little less in recent games. Dončić sprained […]

My wife and I throw a Hocus Pocus Watch Party every October. To go along with some all-too-specific decorations, we also cook up a bunch of spooky-season-themed treats for our guests.

The menu this season consists of pumpkin mac & cheese, caramel apple pretzel bites, mummy meatballs, apple cider old fashioneds, and plenty more.

Trash talk is a way of life in sports. Players say things at each other. Fans say things at players. And Players sometimes react to the fans. Yesterday, after the Washington Wizards lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in overtime, the 76ers reacted and trolled a Wizards fan wearing a Jordan Poole jersey. Poole now plays […]
