With Their First Regulation Loss, Chicago Blackhawks Suddenly Suck
The Chicago Blackhawks were blown out on Friday, 6-2, the latest disappointment in a season full of … oh. Hmmm.

The long-suffering Tulsa Shock are now suffering just a little bit less! Since we checked in with them on Friday—when they seemed on track to surpass the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers for the worst losing streak in NBA/WNBA history—the Shock have tripled their win count for the season....
Can The Tulsa Shock Become The Worst Pro Basketball Team Ever?
Last night, the Tulsa Shock lost to the Seattle Storm, 74-57. It was their 20th consecutive defeat.
