Ahead of these two juggernauts going head-to-head, we’ll be making our 49ers Week 13 predictions. After trading for superstar running back Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers […]

The Brooklyn Nets added Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in the 2019 offseason, and it has been all downhill from there. From the playoff woes to the trade requests, Nets owner Joe Tsai has been drowning while trying to play damage control, and Kyrie Irving’s latest antisemitic tirade has launched the Nets into the spotlight. […]

USC football fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The Clay Helton era is over, and the Trojans have moved on to a better and brighter side of college football with Lincoln Riley. Despite a tough late-game loss to the Utah Utes, the Trojans stand at second in the Pac-12 at 5-1, a game behind […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant’s world is burning down around him. The 2-6 Nets agreed to part ways with Steve Nash Tuesday, and they seem locked in on poaching suspended Boston Celtics coach Ime Udoka for the position, though general manager Sean Marks claims no decision has been made. Amidst all the drama, Kyrie Irving […]

The NBA has been ripe with surprises through the first week of the season. Tanking teams are rising to the top of their respective conferences, stars are adjusting to positionless basketball, and some young rookies look like seasoned vets. Lets take a look at some of the most shocking developments from the season’s start. 1. […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ front office refused to move both their 2027 and 2029 first round picks to trade Russell Westbrook in the offseason, eventually forcing Westbrook to return to a team where he clearly is not wanted. Now, General Manager Rob Pelinka and owner Jeanie Buss are left to conduct damage control, searching around […]

Russell Westbrook will be traded before the NBA’s trade deadline — it is only a matter of time. Last year, the Westbrook – LeBron James – Anthony Davis failed to produce during their time on the court together; this was not a matter of health or lack of experience playing together. If the Lakers’ 0-3 […]

The Los Angeles Clippers have been penciled in by many in the mainstream media as the second best team in the Western Conference after the Golden State Warriors. After withstanding a late Los Angeles Lakers run and dominating the Sacramento Kings, the Clippers rounded out the first week of the season by dropping their home […]

The Dallas Mavericks look primed for another deep playoff run after finishing fourth in the Western Conference and fighting to the Conference Finals last season. Despite losing their second-best player in Jalen Brunson, head coach Jason Kidd’s Mavs have not lost a step, winning one out of their first two games this season. Here are […]

The New Orleans Pelicans are finally coming together, reaping the benefits of that Anthony Davis trade with the Los Angeles Lakers. Head coach Willie Green’s squad thrives on creating mismatches — Zion Williamson can bully almost anyone to the rim, Brandon Ingram is taking that next leap, and CJ McCollum is still a bucket. The […]

The Utah Jazz are 3-0. Yes, you read that correctly. Easily the NBA’s biggest surprise after the first week, the Salt Lake City franchise finds themselves undefeated after trading away two stars, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, for a boatload of draft picks. Despite looking primed for a shot at 18 year-old Victor Wembanyama, the […]

The Chicago Bulls are drowning amidst a stacked Eastern Conference. With Lonzo Ball sidelined for the first few months of the season, the front office signed Goran Dragic to take over some of the playmaking duties, and added Andre Drummond to offset their major rebounding issues last season. The Bulls will look for DeMar DeRozan […]

Despite making the Western Conference Finals in 2020, it feels as though the Denver Nuggets are flying under the radar as NBA contenders, often labeled as “dark-horse” candidates. When Nikola Jokic is on the floor, the Nuggets can be as good as any team in the league — after all, he is a back-to-back reigning […]

While NBA teams’ floor are determined by their depth, their ceilings are often only as high as their best player can take them. Karl Anthony-Towns has been the pride of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ franchise through the past seven seasons, this team’s ceiling will ultimately be determined by Anthony Edwards. How good can the former #1 […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers had their most exciting season since LeBron James’ first stint with the Cavaliers en route to a 44-38 record in 2021-22. How many games will they win in 2022-23? Let’s take a look at the Cavaliers’ over/under win total for this new NBA season. It is all fun and games until there […]

The Chicago Bulls are in a dangerous spot as the 2022-23 season dawns upon the franchise. The squad narrowly avoided the play-in before unluckily running into Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round, sent back to Chicago in five games. In the offseason, the rest of the NBA has seemingly found ways […]

Draymond Green has never been one to hide his emotions. His arrogant indifference has gotten the 32-year-old to where he is now—a four-time NBA champion and a four-time All Star. He is the firecracker that lights a spark under the Golden State Warriors, the raucous leader that makes you want to charge recklessly into battle […]

This Los Angeles Clippers team has to get the job done. They have come up short too many times, namely at the hands of the Denver Nuggets in 2020 and Dallas Mavericks in the following year. This time, though, it feels different. This squad has depth, shooting prowess, and a dynamic defense, and this time […]
