The lack of fanfare around Team USA’s women’s basketball team is the latest slap in the face to Black women
For over twenty years, the United States has been sending a team to the Summer Games that is so dominant that losing isn’t even a remote possibility. And every four years, millions of Americans take this team’s excellence for granted more than the lightbulbs in their refrigerators....
What’s the deal with Kyle Kuzma?
I remember Kyle Kuzma’s rookie season. The Nets’ 27th pick of the 2017 NBA Draft (he was then dealt to the Lakers in the D’Angelo Russel trade) burst onto the scene averaging over 16 points per game with 45/37/71 splits. While he wasn’t being put in the same category as other rookies that year like ...
Canadiens will have an interesting offseason
We know that the Tampa Bay Lightning, who finished off the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 last night in Game 5 to win back-to-back Stanley Cups, will face cap problems and the shortest offseason in history, as it’ll be just two-and-a-half months (so basically one month sober)....

If the Bucks want to win these Finals, this is the change they need to make
In the days leading up to the NBA Finals, I thought the Ayton-Lopez matchup was going to be the most pivotal matchup of the series. NBA All-Defense First-Teamer Jrue Holiday could put the clamps on Chris Paul. Khris Middleton and P.J. Tucker could rotate to help on Devin Booker. Giannis could muscle...

No, the Lightning didn’t cheat
At some point in the next couple days, the Tampa Bay Lightning will win their second consecutive Cup. Could be tonight, or maybe the Canadiens have one last death rattle in them and send this series back to Tampa on Wednesday. It’s hockey, weird things happen, we’ve seen 0-3 comebacks, but here it’s...
It’s time for Milwaukee to show that killer instinct they found in Game 5

The Baltimore Orioles are a beautiful mess that makes absolutely zero sense
The Orioles are not a good team. They haven’t been a consistently great team since the late ’90s. Sure they had that one season in 2014 where they got swept in the ALCS after winning their first division title in 17 years, but were only good for that one season. The Orioles have finished either 4th ...
