But then the Warriors got Draymond Green back and Thursday night saw Kevin Durant return. It would still […]

Posted on March 30, 2018, by Travis Pulver A recent six-game winning streak gave fans of the San Antonio Spurs hope that the team may still reach the 50-win mark for the season. But when LaMarcus Aldridge limped off the court the other night against the Wizards they knew the streak would likely end soon. Maybe even […]

Posted on March 29, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine Few teams in baseball will begin the 2018 season with higher expectations than the New York Yankees. After falling one game short of reaching the World Series last season, many view the Bronx Bombers as a World Series or bust club in 2018. Can the Yankees live […]

Posted on March 28, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine The Chicago White Sox have endured five straight losing seasons, none worse than last year’s 95-loss campaign. However, few teams in baseball have as strong of a farm system as the White Sox, which should bode well for the future of the franchise. Will enough of that […]

Posted on March 28, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine After making the postseason last year as a wild-card team, the Colorado Rockies appear poised to take another step forward in 2018. Of course, the Rockies find themselves in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, so repeating that success could be easier said than done. Can […]

Posted on March 27, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine The Minnesota Twins were one of the biggest surprises in baseball last year, earning a wild-card spot.

Posted on March 27, 2018, by Travis Pulver The Philadelphia 76ers locked up a playoff spot for the first time, since 2012, Sunday night. But with the No. 3 through No. 8 seeds separated by only a handful of games, every win still means a lot. However, the 20,000-plus fans in attendance at the Wells Fargo […]

Posted on March 26, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine It’s been six years since the Philadelphia Phillies last made the playoffs. But after years of rebuilding, they finally look ready to start working their way back up the pecking order in the NL East. The club even signed a couple big free agents this winter to […]

Posted on March 26, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine The Detroit Tigers are in the early stages of a massive rebuilding effort after trading away most of their prominent players over the past year. That leaves little hope of the Tigers making any noise in 2018. So, just how bad will the Tigers be this season? […]

Posted on March 26, 2018, by Travis Pulver You would think that securing a playoff spot shouldn’t be a big deal for the Pacers. After all, this will be the seventh time in eight seasons for Indiana. But this time, making the playoffs comes with an additional sense of satisfaction and joy. How come? After they […]

Posted on March 25, 2018, by Travis Pulver The San Antonio Spurs entered Sunday afternoon’s game against the Milwaukee Bucks on a roll having won their last six.

Posted on March 25, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine The Milwaukee Brewers made a lot of noise in 2017, officially announcing the end of their rebuilding process, only to fall a few games short of a playoff spot.

Posted on March 24, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine Less than a week before opening day, the San Francisco Giants have suffered their first loss of the season. Ace Madison Bumgarner will be out for an undetermined amount of time after breaking his left hand. Bumgarner suffered the injury Friday when he was struck by a […]

Posted on March 23, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine Just two years removed from a World Series title, the Kansas City Royals appear to be on the decline. However, they made a push for a wild-card spot last year and made some positive moves over the winter in hopes of being competitive this season. But do […]

Posted on March 23, 2018, by Travis Pulver For fair weather NBA fans, it may be hard to believe it, but the Los Angeles Lakers are not a bad team. Yes, they are not going to make the playoffs. Yes, they are going to finish the year with a sub-.500 record once again. No, they are […]
