The Los Angeles Clippers first-round playoff series against the Phoenix Suns has been arguably the most tightly contested series of the postseason so far. That’s why Kawhi Leonard‘s ankle injury that held him out of Game 3 was such a shock to fans. Leonard had been playing fantastic basketball early on in the series, and […]

Along the way, Klay […]

But which of the two star quarterbacks would be the first guy off the board? That’s still […]

The Miami Heat pulled off one of the more shocking upsets in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series across the NBA when they beat the Bucks 130-117.

In the first-round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, the Atlanta Hawks weren’t given much of a shot to knock off the Boston Celtics.

The Boston Celtics entered the 2023 NBA Playoffs largely believing that they would be playing the Miami Heat in their first-round series.

The Oregon Ducks had a successful 2022 campaign, finishing with a 10-3 record and coming in at 15th on the final AP poll of the year. They will be hoping to carry that success over to the 2023 campaign, but it may be easier said than done, as their defense appears set to suffer a […]

The Georgia Bulldogs will be seeing some turnover at the quarterback position in the 2023 season with Stetson Bennett heading to the NFL.

The Boston Red Sox entered the 2023 season with fairly limited expectations, and for good reason.

The Memphis Grizzlies have had a bit of a rocky 2022-23 campaign, but none of that matters as they get ready to kick off their playoff campaign.

Instead, […]

After a strong regular season campaign, the Boston Celtics opened the 2023 NBA Playoffs in resounding fashion. While their 112-99 victory over the Atlanta Hawks in Game 1 of their first-round season doesn’t look like a totally dominating victory, the final score makes this game look much closer than it actually was. The Celtics throttled […]
