Adam Silver shouldn't be consulting Twitter to decide Draymond Green's suspension
After a day of internet outrage by the media and fans alike, Draymond Green has been sat down for an indefinite amount of time. The NBA said he’ll have to meet certain league and team criteria before returning to the court. The punishment isn’t surprising, nor is it easy to evaluate considering it’s...
The Champions League group stage went out with a bang
The Champions League group stage spent most of its time getting maligned, some of that in bad faith from the biggest clubs who just wanted to mold the competition to their whims. But their main argument held a lot of water, which was that it lacked drama or suspense, as for the most part the top clu...

In Gaza, one organization struggles to keep children playing

The Bucks-Pacers rivalry is now spectacular. Thank you, NBA's In-Season Tournament
The NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament has been worth it for all involved. For the Los Angeles Lakers, many men who could use a $500,000 direct deposit got it. Tyrese Haliburton emerged from the tourney as the newest NBA superstar. Also, a real inter-division rivalry is budding. The Indiana Pacers...
It took more than a quarter of the NBA season, but it looks like Phoenix's Big 3 will finally suit up together
There was a lot of excitement surrounding what was supposed to be the debut of the new Phoenix Suns “Big Three” of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. TNT’s Reggie Miller was so geared up for it that he had to be notified live on air that Durant had been ruled out of the Suns’ matchup again...
Pistons, Spurs serving as an impetus/impotence for another in-season tourney
If you ask Santa for anything this Christmas, ask for the Tanking Super Bowl. The Detroit Pistons, losers of 20 in a row, and the San Antonio Spurs, losers of 17 straight, play each other Jan. 10. That’s a little under a month away, and if both teams continue this dismal form, Detroit and San Antoni...

Golden State needs to let go of the past
The NBA season is now a three-part campaign. The NBA Cup is the opening sprint featuring teams working Usain Bolt hours to determine the NBA’s 100-meter champion.

What the Vikings and Raiders did on Sunday was so bad, it was tremendous
The pace of NFL Sunday slows down during the late window. Usually, three or four games kick off between 4 and 4:25 p.m. EST. One of those is a featured matchup, like Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills, with all of the brilliant throws and yelling about a wide receiver being rightly flagged for lin...
The Dolphins’ fatal flaw can’t be on the offensive side of the ball, can it?
The Miami Dolphins offense can cook like no other unit we’ve seen in a long time. Mike McDaniel has perfectly calibrated pre-snap motion, the running game, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Tua Tagovailoa to form the Greatest Show on Surf. It’s a diabolical mix of talent and scheme that’s borderline im...
