In Los Angeles’ opening night game against Golden State, the Lakers were down by just one at the half.

Who else is ready to put the 24-win 2024-25 season behind them? The 2025-26 Philadelphia 76ers sure are. There was little roster turnover in the offseason, but the vibe certainly feels different than a year ago. At this point last year, Joel Embiid and Paul George were both expected to miss a chunk of games […]

After a second straight Western Conference Finals appearance, the Timberwolves start the 2025-26 season hungry to improve on their recent success. Anything less than the NBA […]
Before looking for a featured image for this writeup, I hadn’t realized Cotton Nash was also a professional basketball player. He only played two seasons, but perhaps that height advantage gives him an edge in Out of the Park as well. (…nah.) Regardless of what it was, Nash’s home run and Scott Stahoviak’s 3-4 game […]
Happy Toronto Raptors season to all who celebrate!

The NBA season officially tipped off on Tuesday night with an epic double-overtime matchup between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Seattle Seahawks defense dismantled the Houston Texans on Monday night. Things like 31 yards allowed to running backs, 10 tackles for loss, and 12 passes defensed, you know.

The start of the NBA season approaching means it’s time for my favorite bi-annual tradition: depressing my co-workers by asking them long=term questions about the state of the Philadelphia 76ers. As a team that quickly went from title contenders to ping=pong ball hopefuls, there’s a lot of ways this season can go. So I’ve given […]
Usually I post my college updates and weekend schedule for the Blackhawks on Thursday mornings, but three days between games and the Hawks having an early evening game in Tampa on Thursday gives us an opportunity to look ahead a day earlier than usual. This new weekend of college hockey marks the first time this season that all four teams with Blackhawks prospects are ranked. Thanks to a hot start from their sophomore netminder, the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs have joined the rankings. ...
