data-mm-id=”_wm34zhltt”>Marquis Nowell was a March Madness sensation and is now trying to take his game to the next level by playing for the Toronto Raptors in Summer League action. Nowell has his work cut out for him as a 5-foot-7 point guard, to say the least. Through three games he's done alright, averaging 10 points and five assists, but his stint in Las Vegas this year will be most remembered for the lowlight that came against the Detroit Pistons. Nowell jacked up a three and turned around to run back when it was halfway to the basket, presumably because he was so confident that it would splash through the bottom of the net. Like a certain Golden State Warriors superstar is fond of doing. Instead of hitting nothing but net, though, the ball hit nothing but backboard. Maybe No…
data-mm-id=”_a7n03q9u4″>The Chicago Bears are 1-5 but the last few weeks have been an improvement, as difficult as I'm sure that is to believe. They earned their first win of the year against the Washington Commanders in Week 5, and more importantly kept themselves out of the news for the wrong reasons after the year started off with wild reports of FBI raids, the sudden resignation of the defensive coordinator, and conflicting statements from team officials on the status of Chase Claypool. The fact that the biggest talking point around the organization right now is Justin Fields' busted thumb is actually a blessing. All that said, the Bears are still a very bad football team slated to only get worse since they'll likely have to turn to rookie Tyler Bagent to play quarte…
data-mm-id=”_6i68lqzcb”>Saturday's contest between the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat brought the latest sign of Zach LaVine's unhappiness after trade rumors popped up out of nowhere last week. The. Bulls squeezed out a close win over the Heat, 102-97, but LaVine didn't have much to do with the win. He recorded 13 points, eight rebounds, and six assists in 35 minutes of action. A perfectly fine statline if LaVine was not making $40 million this year. Seeing as he is, we can classify this as a bad game for LaVine. But wins have been few and far between in Chicago to start the year so they'll take it. LaVine was not a happy camper after the win, though. As soon as the final buzzer sounded he made a beeline to the locker room while his teammates lingered to high five an…
