In the month of December, including the previous 4-game stretch, the Redskins are 1-3 and have run the ball 73 times for 279 yards. That averages out to 3.82 yards per carry and just 70 yards...

The O’s Pack Up Early

October 1, 2015 Courtney Winstead Baltimore Orioles, MLB, Playoffs0 comment

It looks like the fat lady has sung in Baltimore. After a Houston win over Seattle Monday night and suffering a 15-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays in game one of a Thursday doubleheader, the Baltimore baseball club no longer has the chance to punch a ticket for the postseason. Up until late September, the O’s wild card chances... Read More

After being declared out for the season by the Thunder, Serge Ibaka returned just two weeks later and only missed two games in total. Ibaka’s calf strain turned out not to be as severe as initially thought. Ibaka told his teammates and his coaches he’d end up playing in this series after all was said and done–it turns out he...

And just like that, it’s over. No more electrifying John Wall darting down the court after snatching a rebound in midair. No more Bradley Beal stopping on a dime in transition and delivering a corner three point make. No more Nene in the high post. No more Gortat rolling in the lane and laying the ball up from 10 feet... Read More

The Golden State Warriors and their fans faced a demoralizing defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday evening.

Los Angeles Clippers Survive the first game in Oracle Arena

April 25, 2014 Michael D. Sykes, II Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, David Lee, Deandre Jordan, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Clippers, Mark Jackson, NBA, Playoffs, Stephen Curry0 comment

The Clippers knew that they’d be in for a battle after they throttled the Warriors in game 2 by 40 points. The Warriors put together a simple gameplan that would be easily executed so they wouldn’t tally up 26 turnovers like they did in the previous game. This game came down to the wire. Blake Griffin was huge throghout the... Read More
