NEW YORK — As quickly as Jordan Walsh became the revelation of this Celtics season, he slid aside to make room for a Josh Minott spark and Sam Hauser closing effort in the second half of the Celtics’ win over the Nets on Wednesday. Joe Mazzulla’s message to take each lineup and rotation with a […]
In the wise words of Horton Hears a Who, “a win is a win … no matter how ugly.” It goes something like that, right? NIKOLA VUCEVIC GAME-WINNING BUZZER BEATER ALERT!! Let’s be honest, the Chicago Bulls didn’t deserve to win that game. They let an inferior Portland Trail Blazers team – with multiple rotation players on the injury report – erase a 21-point lead over the final 9 minutes of action. Struggling to close things out against superstars is one thing. Strugg...
Michael Porter Jr. is having a very good couple of weeks. For the first time in his career, he’s put up seven straight games of 20 points or more. In that stretch, he’s also twice set personal best for assists, showing off passing skills his former assistant coach in Denver knew he had. Moreover, the […]
The Dallas Mavericks dropped a close one to the New York Knicks on Wednesday night, falling 113-111. The Knicks were seeking their first road win of the season, and Dallas unfortunately accommodated them in a winnable game that came down to an offensive foul call on what could have been a game winning play if […]
The Minnesota Vikings somehow managed to take the lead for a brief moment before suffering a well-deserved loss to the Chicago Bears at U.S. Bank Stadium. Here are some thoughts: PAGING JIM MORA At 4-6, 2-3 in the NFC, and with a daunting schedule ahead, playoff hopes are probably finished. Yeah, yeah, mathematically this and […]
My name is Seedy K, and I’m a hoopaholic. Wednesday was another night of compelling hoops, including a righteous effort in South Bend by those lads from Norris Place. For a junkie like me, it doesn’t take much. And I shall weigh in on that and other matters of the sport that consume me. But […]
Northwestern heads to West Virginia this weekend for its biggest test of the young season, matching up against the Virginia Cavaliers and the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Greenbrier Tip-Off. NU enters the showcase 4-0 after an 81-79 nail-biting victory against DePaul last Friday, led by the terrific play of Nick Martinelli and Arrinten Page. […]
Syracuse men’s basketball barely escaped the Monmouth Hawks with a 78-73 victory on Tuesday at the JMA Wireless Dome, but the Orange win was in near-constant danger, threatened by a volley of missed free throws. Struggles at the charity stripe were constant throughout the contest, but they were particularly glaring in the final minutes of […]
The Bucks stink at defending the pick-and-roll. Any time an opponent runs the action right now, it’s basically an automatic bucket. The stats are mind-bending. Milwaukee is allowing a league-worst 64.6% roll man scoring frequency, which equates to 1.35 points per possession. For reference, the two worst transition defenses, Sacramento and Washington, are giving up […]
The Wizards lost their 12th straight game, but their improved effort was noticeable. Greg Finberg recapped a near-27-point comeback against the Timberwolves, highlighted the impressive play of Kyshawn George and discussed Tristan Vukcevic’s poor defense. Enjoy! Watch on YouTube:
It might have been an ugly win, but you never apologize for winning in the NFL. The Bears picked up their third win in a row on Sunday, defeating the Vikings 19-17 off a last-second field goal by Cairo Santos. The Bears got out to an early lead, though the defense ended up giving the […]

BOSTON – On Wednesday afternoon, 50 kids from the Roxbury Boys and Girls Club of Boston thought they were headed for a simple afternoon of bowling and pizza. But, just a few minutes into their time at Brighton Bowl, the unexpected arrivals began. First, former Celtics champion Leon Powe arrived, alongside Celtics mascot Lucky and […]
Colts vs. Chiefs have provided great Colts moments! Pacers WIN! IU v Lindy tonight 6p!
This game didn’t look close at the end. It didn’t look close in the middle, but due to some spectacularly awkward play by the Rockets in the third quarter, it was close up until the end. This was a game of extremes. Mostly extremes of baffling basketball and shooting dry spells. Both the Rockets and […]

If you hadn’t watched a game between the Knicks and the Heat after the ’90s, yesterday’s matchup must have felt like two games rolled into one. New York and Miami combined for the most points ever in a head-to-head, and even then, the most surprising thing was a man called Landry Shamet. Here’s everything said […]
BOSTON — Ron Harper Jr. didn’t know he’d be spending the week with the Boston Celtics. But, the 25-year-old two-way Celtics player hopped on a commercial flight on Sunday to meet the Celtics in Orlando amid their three-game road trip. It wasn’t smooth sailing; the same flight delays that have plagued the country meant Harper […]
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … Roob’s Random Observations: What would a healthy offensive line mean for Eagles? – NBCSP3A. I really thought their performance vs. the Vikings and Giants signaled a real breakthrough for the Eagles’ offense – 28 points and a season-high 361 yards in Minnesota and a season-high […]
Unlike last year, the Seattle Seahawks have DeMarcus Lawrence, Cooper Kupp and Nick Emmanwori on their roster, will they be a major difference and factor on Sunday? Will any of those three (or all three) be a reason that Seattle comes out on top on Sunday? I am picking the Rams, but I know Seattle […]
In a battle for NFC West supremacy, the 7-2 Los Angeles Rams are set to host the 7-2 Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, November 16. While Albert Hammond may have sang, “It never rains in California”, the greater Los Angeles area is expecting precipitation all weekend. Not to worry though, fans should be dry and snug […]
Tuesday morning, a dark cloud cleared over the heads of Maverick fans across the globe when it was announced that Nico Harrison would be fired following the team’s 3-8 start to the season. The man who selfishly took a championship-contending team and traded its star player, Luka Doncic, in the dead of the night in […]
The Chicago Bears have had some big games this season, but none bigger than this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. With consecutive comeback wins, there’s some national buzz around the Bears, and a win in Minneapolis will go a long way towards keeping that going. Chicago has won six of their last seven, but they […]
