The Oklahoma City Thunder had the best defense in the NBA this season, but if the game was close late, the Thunder consistently opted not to trust it. Under head coach Mark Daigneault, OKC likes to foul when up three, refusing to yield a game-tying attempt to their opponent while betting on their free throw shooting to get them across the finish line. The Thunder again found themselves in a situation where they were fouling up three in the final seconds in Game 1 against the Denver Nuggets in the second round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs. This time, it…

The first wave of WNBA preseason games over the weekend also brought the first big wave of training camp roster cuts. Due to the limited number of roster spots on WNBA teams and the salary cap restrictions, many WNBA training camp attendees don’t make teams. Teams will sign anywhere from 18-21 (ish) players to camp, and cut their rosters down to 11-12 by the time the season starts. Most teams will wait until after their first preseason game to begin to trim down their roster, at least getting a look at everyone before making decisions. One move that bucked that…

The Valkyries’ decision to cut Sellers was met with a ton of criticism online. Sellers was one of the best prospects…

Just over a month after pro-Duterte troll farms and aligned traditional politicians tried to silence yours truly for factually pointing out the unfathomable Human Development Index disparities in the country, yet another set of statistics confirmed my basic hypothesis. According to the latest data released by the Functional Literacy, Education, and Mass Media Survey (FLEMMS) under the auspices of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), eight of the 10 provinces with the poorest literacy rates in the country hailed from Mindanao. Fortunately for the PSA, it’s unlikely that the institution or its staff would be honored with the privilege of persona…
