Isaiah Thomas's Excellent Sports Child Makes It Impossible To Root Against His Shrimpy Dad
Isaiah Thomas returned to the court Wednesday night for the first time in nearly 11 months, as a reserve for the Denver Nuggets. He was pretty good, going for eight points in 13 minutes of burn, and finishing plus-2 in a game the Nuggets won on another hideous Nikola Jokic game-winner....

Paul George And Russell Westbrook Got Double Triple-Doubles
How is it possible to notch an NBA-record 10th straight triple-double and still not be the wildest spectacle on your own team?

Daniel Bryan's War On Vince McMahon And The Boomers Isn't Just For Show

The Carolina Hurricanes Are Officially Good Enough To Get Mad About
The Carolina Hurricanes, who have not been good in a very long time, are actually pretty cool to watch this year, even if they haven’t quite crossed back into the realm of “good” yet.

He’s averaging 15 points, 12.8 boards, and 2.2 blocks per game, and he anchors the league’s fifth-best defense, which is 7.7 points per 100 possessions better than league average when he plays. The Jazz have turned their season around and solidified a pla...
