What Should the Sacramento Kings do in the Draft?

31

May

The Sacramento Kings have had a rough go of it in the NBA draft. They struck gold on DeMarcus Cousins while Ben McLemore and Ray McCallum both seem to be solid picks. The jury is out on Nik Stauskas, and guys like Isaiah Thomas, Tyreke Evans, and Hassan Whiteside aren’t even on the team anymore. […]

Can Barry Bonds Sue MLB?

24

May

Looking at Barry Bonds’ Baseball-Reference page can turn into a black hole of amazing hitting statistics. In 2004, Bonds had an on-base percentage of .609. .609! A game that sees a successful player failing 60-70% of the time had a player that flipped that narrative on its head and succeeded 60% of the time…all at the age […]

From Dominant Defense To Explosive Offense: The Pittsburgh Steelers

20

May

Last season, Steelers fans were shocked at the birth of a dynamic offense led by three-year offensive coordinator Todd Haley. When Haley arrived in Pittsburgh it wasn’t clear what direction the team was headed. Talks of Mike Tomlin on the ever-present hot seat surfaced when the Steelers finished with an 8-8 record in back to back years […]

NBA Playoffs Preview: Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets

19

May

Despite what may have been the “best series,” – I still contend that it would have been Spurs/Warriors – this is the series we’ve been waiting for in the West. The MVP vs. the Runner-Up. As many have started to put it, both seriously and jokingly, good vs. evil. Beautiful vs. ugly. The public has […]

What To Do With Troy Tulowitzki?

19

May

Another year and another losing season for the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies are currently 13-21, good enough for dead last in the NL West. They’re also the 3rd worst team in baseball behind the Athletics and Brewers. I don’t think anyone had high expectations for the Rockies this season, but something has to happen with […]

Dan Jennings Goes In-(Club)House

18

May

There have been plenty of field managers in the history of baseball that have moved from the dugout to the executive suite and become a part of various front offices. It should conceivably be a two-way street, but it hasn’t been, with Dan Jennings being the lone modern example. On Sunday, May 18, the Miami […]

NBA Playoffs Preview: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Houston Rockets

04

May

Two teams with two elite rim protecting centers, when both are healthy of course. During the playoffs, Dwight Howard has played 202 minutes over six games – an average of about 33 per game. DeAndre Jordan is averaging just over 35 per game. These two could make this series one of the most interesting of […]

NBA Playoffs Preview: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Chicago Bulls

04

May

At the start of the season, it was assumed that the LeBron-fueled Cavaliers would meet the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals. Some slow stretches for both teams and some surprising play from the Atlanta Hawks rendered that impossible, but never fear! The matchup of the playoffs is here now. It starts in Cleveland, […]
