NFL Combine – Jameis Winston & Marcus Mariota Doing Just Fine
There are a lot of things to look out for in the NFL combine, but the presence of quarterbacks Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota is obviously getting most of the attention, and the two lived up to their promises both in action and more or less in performance as well, which means the weekend of “feats” isn’t going to hurt their prospects of being a high draft pick and a big contract that comes with it.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin With Another Lesson on Playing for a Tanking Team
The Los Angeles Lakers blow another lead in a winnable game, this time against the Brooklyn Nets, as the incompetence of Byron Scott keeps putting Jeremy Lin out of the game when he’s most needed. It was a good game for him on a personal level, but a proud and glorified franchise is sinking faster than the speed of light.

Golden State Warriors – Passing of the Torch
There’s still time before March-April and the NBA playoffs, but the Golden State Warriors dominating and beating the San Antonio Spurs 110-99 felt more than just a win. It felt as if something finally changed in the Western conference hierarchy.

Houston Rockets – James Harden Can’t Keep Carrying Them Alone
The Dallas Mavericks look impressive at times, but they won’t win the NBA championship. Not even close. Their 111-100 victory against the Houston Rockets was more of a spotlight on James Harden carrying a team on his own into another disappointing playoff finish more than anything else.

Chicago Bulls – Wasting Their Season Away One Loss at a Time
There will come a time in the playoffs when the Chicago Bulls will regret wasting their potential away with a series of losses it’ll be hard to explain.

Toronto Raptors – Maybe ‘Best in the East’ is Still Up for Grabs
The Atlanta Hawks seem to be slipping since the end of their impressive winning streak, giving the Toronto Raptors a chance to take advantage and maybe change things on top of the Eastern conference. A 105-80 win on the road is certainly a hint of things the might be coming.

Miami Heat – Pathetic Teams Make For Easy Prey
The New York Knicks are the worst team in the NBA, which made it very easy for the Miami Heat, playing without Chris Bosh or the newly acquired Goran Dragic, to pick up a much needed win in their attempt to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Maybe pigs are flying. Or maybe hell has frozen over. The impossible has happened. The fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is on. Official. It’s actually going to happen. Very few actually believed there was any hope left.

Los Angeles Lakers – Jeremy Lin Doesn’t Get the Trade he Deserves
The Los Angeles Lakers are taking their time in their rebuilding attempts. No moves on the trade deadline, which means more tanking and losses, not to mention frustration for the fans. There’s also frustration for players caught in this situation. Jeremy Lin isn’t alone in this “trap”, but he’s probably the best of those that were hoping to get away.
