Some like the unique angle the Clippers take, with a stronger emphasis on a nautical theme, while others – myself included – think the logo looks like something that would represent a cruise line. Maybe I’ll be interested in it, but I appreciate the out-of-the-box thinking of their creative team to come up with something we’ve truly never seen before from a professional sports team. And a return to the font on the jerseys is appreciated.With the Clippers changing their logo and jerseys, as…

The same cannot be said for Jalen Green, as he has been extremely inconsistent.In short, Green hasn’t been reliable enough on a nightly basis to inspire confidence in his ability to carry the franchise, which was expected, based on…

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris has been struggling on the court recently. He had a 5-game stretch in which he averaged just 10.8 points and shot just 31.3% from the floor and 23.5% from deep. Those kinds of numbers won’t get it done because the Sixers need him to give more with Joel Embiid off the court. He is very aware of this and he was able to bounce back greatly during his two previous outings. Harris had 31 points and 12 rebounds in a win over the Charlotte Hornets on Friday, then followed that up with 28 points and…

BOSTON — So … are the Celtics the anomaly, or are the Celtics the future?I spent this past weekend in Beantown for the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference, and while I was there, I watched Boston shred Dallas and utterly embarrass Golden State. The Celtics are 48-12, rank first in offense and second in defense and seem likely to end up with one of the top scoring margins of all time. The only thing stopping people from showering this team with more praise are its last four postseasons, but right now, the Celtics seem completely unstoppable. Anointing any other team as…
