It’s all fun and games for the Oklahoma City Thunder until they see how much their tax bill is going to be if they decided to keep Paul George and Carmelo Anthony past this season. The Thunder made waves back in the summer by trading current and future assets to acquire George and Anthony and […]

We really don’t need any more reminders of how good the Golden State Warriors are on offense, but they just keep on finding ways to surprise basketball fans and experts alike. Just take for example this statistical tidbit: The gap between the Warriors’ league-best true shooting percentage (62.9) and that of the second-best team, which […]

Before Phil Jackson was sacked by the New York Knicks back in the summer, the team’s former president of basketball operations was eyeing to sign George Hill on the free agent market.

While Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball continues to struggle with his shot, Sacramento Kings rookie guard De’Aaron is out there hitting a game-winner.

Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard Lonzo Ball isn’t having a good time shooting the ball in his first season in the pros. The former UCLA Bruin is making just 29.2 percent of his shots. It’s an atrocious number even for a rookie, and it made history in a bad way. What’s worse is that Ball […]

After a slow start to the season, the Golden State Warriors have regained their form, as they are back to tearing opponents apart on a regular basis. Currently on a five-game win streak, the Warriors are toying with opposing teams mostly by brandishing their seemingly unstoppable offense that ranks first in the league in scoring […]

There is no stopping the Thunder’s Russell Westbrook from assaulting stat sheets with his almost daily show of brilliance on the floor. But, despite the NBA’s reigning MVP sporting numbers of 20.1 points, 10.9 assists, and 9.3 rebounds per game so far this season, the Thunder are just 4-6 in their first 10. That becomes […]

Sacramento Kings power forward Zach Randolph’s kind is a dying one. There aren’t just as many big men these days that would prefer operating at the low post than take perimeter shots as before. Randolph is already past his prime, something that he’s admitted to Ailene Voisin of The Sacramento Bee, but believes he could […]

The Minnesota Timberwolves had quite a haul of players in the offseason, which included Jimmy Butler, whom the team traded for in a blockbuster deal with the Chicago Bulls. Butler was instantly viewed as a great veteran addition to the young cast of Timberwolves, who already have the pair of Karl Anthony-Towns and Andrew Wiggins, […]

Every quarterback wants a wide receiver who will not just pin down their passes but also squeeze out extra yards after the catch. When it comes to that, Detroit Lions wide receiver Golden Tate is the best at his position. As noted by Logan Lamorandier of Lion Lowdown, Tate now holds the most yards after […]

When Teddy Bridgewater was drafted in 2014, the Minnesota Vikings believed they had found their franchise quarterback for the future. Like most rookies, Bridgewater’s initial season in the NFL was filled with struggles, but he went on to lead Minnesota to a 11-5 record in 2015. A devastating knee injury prior to the 2016 campaign, […]

There was plenty to dissect from the annihilation Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic wreaked on the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.

Blake Griffin can electrify people with his array of spectacular dunks, but he also aspires to impress people with his humor. Perhaps not a lot of people know that Griffin sometimes dabbles with comedy, as he’s done a few stand-up acts before. Griffin’s material may not be as good as that of, say, Louis C.K. […]

The New York Knicks are having what you may call a mild success early this season. Even after their 112-99 loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, the Knicks still own more wins than losses with a 6-5 record. The Knicks could’ve won that game and extended their win streak to four games had Kristaps […]

It was just last year when Joey Bosa was drafted third overall by the then San Diego Chargers, but it only took less than two seasons for the former Ohio State Buckeye defensive end to enter the NFL’s record books. Also during that time, it is worth noting, is that the Chargers moved from San […]

Seattle Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls almost literally paid an arm for something a teammate did during his team’s 17-14 loss to the Washington Redskins last Sunday. Rawls was trying to gain yards on a rushing play in the fourth quarter of that game, but didn’t get any as Redskins cornerback Josh Norman grabbed the […]

When Bobby Portis cracked Nikola Mirotic’s head during a scuffle just days before the season kicked off, it was just another sign that the Chicago Bulls were going nowhere this season. Chicago was already expected to struggle for an entire year after losing the team’s top players a year ago in Dwyane Wade, Jimmy Butler, […]

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic was simply unstoppable on Tuesday, as he almost single-handedly defeated the undermanned Brooklyn Nets by scoring a career-high 41 points in a 112-104 victory. Apart from that, Jokic also had 12 rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks, and went 4-of-9 from the three-point area. Jokic’s memorable night made plenty […]

If the New England Patriots are to win back-to-back Super Bowl titles this season, they will have to do it minus star defensive linebacker Dont’a Hightower. Something that will make the road to a title a bit tougher. According to Field Yates of ESPN, Hightower has been placed by the team on injured reserve, essentially […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston won’t be on the field for at least a couple of weeks. His team is hoping that the time off will be enough time to get his ailing shoulder right. While Winston spends time on the shelf, the offense will be it the hands of Ryan Fitzpatrick. We don’t […]

A two-win game win “streak” is doing wonders to the confidence of the New York Knicks youngsters, including rookie guard Frank Ntilikina.

From the aesthetics to the result, Lonzo Ball’s shooting form has been constantly disparaged by detractors, as the Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard is making just 29.9 percent of his shots from the field. His form from deep is worse, as he is shooting just 23.4 percent from the 3-point region. Notwithstanding his broken […]

Greg Monroe was the biggest price the Milwaukee Bucks paid to extricate embattled Eric Bledsoe from the Phoenix Suns but the big man may soon find himself either out of work or out of the desert. According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, who first reported for the trade, Monroe’s contract could be bought out by the […]

Outside of being a constant presence in the playoffs, the L.A. Clippers weren’t exactly successful during the six seasons in which Chris Paul manned the point for the team.

The Seattle Seahawks could’ve had a 2017 version of the Fail Mary that would’ve caused Twitter to explode last Sunday, when the Seahawks lost to the Washington Redskins, 17-14. Near the end of the game, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was sacked by Redskins defensive tackle Terrell McClain with only 11 seconds remaining on the game […]

Brock Osweiler didn’t exactly look like Peyton Manning in his first start for the Denver Broncos since 2015, tossing for 208 yards on 19-of-38 completions to go with a touchdown and a pair of interceptions in a 51-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Despite the ugly loss and the uninspiring performance from Osweiler, […]

The Cincinnati Bengals can now breathe a sigh of relief. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Bengals star wide receiver A.J.

No other players, not AJ Green nor any Cardinals nor […]

Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra earlier said that the defending world champion Golden State Warriors are “playing a different sport.” You know what? Maybe they really are.
