The NFL playoffs are just too short, too fleeting. There are only actually 13 NFL playoff games each year. It’s like once you hit Divisional Round,… Read More Sizing Up the 2023 NBA Playoff Field
So the 49ers just beat the Rams for the 7th time in a row in the regular season. Obviously the Rams got the best of the 49ers when it really mattered, the NFC Championship last season, and then went on to win the Super Bowl. But I want to talk about this season. It’s not… Read More It’s Time to Panic on the LA Rams

The Clippers just closed out the top-seeded Utah Jazz in six games to advance to the first-ever conference finals in Clippers franchise history.

The Jazz were up as much as 25 in the second half but the… Read More You Cannot Call Kawhi a Top-5 Player in the League After This
When the Lakers opted against making a move for Kyle Lowry at the trade deadline, many in the sports media saw it as a missed opportunity.
