At the beginning of the season, every team has 80 games scheduled with two to be determined later, pending NBA Cup group stage results.

Greg Oden, Marcus Camby, Joel Przybilla, JJ Hickson, Robin Lopez, Mason Plumlee, Jusuf Nurkic, Hassan Whiteside and Deandre Ayton have served as Portland Trail Blazers starting centers over the past two decades. Each one contributed to the Blazers in their own unique way with varying levels of effectiveness. Donovan Clingan has joined that club this […]
The Boston Celtics have been a better team than the Cleveland Cavaliers this season based on their numbers. The Celtics — despite missing All-NBA wing Jayson Tatum and trading away two starters — have compiled a better offensive rating and net rating than Cleveland.

I’m not a superstitious person, but when it comes to the Portland Trail Blazers and their decades old injury curse, I’m considerably stitious. It has robbed the team of three different potential dynasties, destroyed eras, seasons, and careers. The Curse has famously been represented by a hydra, made of the collective knees of Bill Walton, […]

The Blazers have beaten the Warriors […]
Friday wasn’t the first time the Lakers had lined up across from Anthony Davis in a Mavericks jersey or even the first time AD had returned to Los Angeles since the deal, but it was the first time both of those things occurred in the same game. Last season, injury kept Davis out of the […]

The New Orleans Pelicans were on a nine-game losing streak and 2-15 to start the year. The Charlotte Hornets were on a seven-game losing streak and 4-14 to start the year. The Chicago Bulls lost to both. Remember when this team was 6-1? Before we address the team’s latest flop, let’s do some housekeeping. While the Bulls were already eliminated from the NBA Cup heading into Friday’s game, the loss marked another unceremonious end for the franchise in the league’s annual tourna...
Coming off a win in Portland versus the Trail Blazers, the Spurs entered Ball Arena to take on the Denver Nuggets.

Please read this before I get started: no single player is individually worthy of exclusive blame for the Blackhawks’ five-game losing streak. Not the goalie(s). Not the defensemen. And no one forward has lost five straight games by themselves. It’s been a group effort, both in the good, competitive losses to Colorado and Minnesota and the ugly losses in Buffalo and to Nashville. But I think we’re at a point in his first full professional season that Oliver Moore might benefit from a...
The Nuggets looked to be in control against a Wemby-less Spurs on Friday night only to give up a 44-point third quarter and any… The post Preview: Can the Nuggets’ defense shade the Suns after NBA Cup meltdown? appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
“You’ve got to stay together if you’ve got the guts. And you don’t find the first door and run out of it.” – Pat Riley. It looked like the San Antonio Spurs were simply outmatched after a 23-8 run by the Denver Nuggets in the second half. Down 74-59 at halftime, it would have been […]

The Atlanta Hawks finished 2-2 in NBA Cup play this season, failing to qualify for the knockout stage of the tournament after losses to the Toronto Raptors — who have won Group A and advanced — and the Washington Wizards. In order to reach 82 games for this season, there were two previously unscheduled games […]
The Seattle Seahawks are back at home for a meeting with the slumping Minnesota Vikings, who are all but cooked in the NFC playoff picture at 4-7. As if that wasn’t enough, Sam Darnold’s former team won’t even be starting his successor, J.J. McCarthy, as the former Michigan quarterback is out with a concussion. Undrafted […]
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to watching some football this weekend. I fear the Vikings game will be painful and could get out of hand early. I know the narrative last year after the playoff loss to the Rams was Sam Darnold was not the answer and not worth […]
