Randy Karraker has a busy day today: First we're breaking down some crucial questions about the Cardinals as they get back in ...
Following another disappointing playoff exit, questions are growing around Joel Embiid's future with the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Colorado Avalanche moved one win away from the Western Conference Final with a 5-2 win over the Minnesota Wild in Game 4, but the biggest takeaway wasn’t just the score. This fast-break reaction covers the playoff swing, the controversy around Josh Manson’s return, and why Colorado’s depth could decide the series. In this video, we break down what happened in Game 4 and why the result feels even bigger than the final score suggests. Colorado now leads the series 3-1, putting Minnesota on the brink of elimination heading into Game 5. Key storylines covered: - The Avalanche beating the Wild 5-2 in Game 4 - Colorado taking a commanding 3-1 series lead - Josh Manson returning after a five-game absence and immediately drawing attention for a butt-end to Michael McCarron’s face - Manson receiving a four-minute double minor and later being fined $5,000 by the NHL, the league’s maximum allowable fine in this case - Michael McCarron calling Manson a dirty player after the game - Parker Kelly scoring the go-ahead goal in the third period for his first career playoff goal - Minnesota facing a must-win Game 5 while dealing with key absences, including Joel Eriksson Ek and Jonas Brodin The bigger point is that Colorado’s depth is showing up at the right time. In hockey, depth means the production a team gets beyond its biggest stars, especially from lower lines and supporting players. When someone like Parker Kelly delivers a key playoff goal, it shows how dangerous and balanced the Avalanche can be. On the other side, the Wild are running out of margin for error. Missing important players and trailing 3-1 in the series makes Game 5 a high-pressure test of whether they can extend their season. This short also looks ahead to the next big question: can a depleted Minnesota team survive Wednesday night in Denver, or is Colorado about to close the door?

IN THE BUILDING | Spurs vs. Timberwolves Game 5 POST-GAME REACTION | 2026 NBA Playoffs Western Conference Semifinals Mike Taylor and Rudy Jay are back LIVE with your full post-game breakdown from Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals. The series is tied 2-2, Wembanyama is back, the Frost Bank Center crowd is unhinged, and everything is on the line tonight in San Antonio. We have got the full reaction, the biggest moments, and everything you need to know heading into a potential Game 6 in Minnesota. --- WHERE THIS SERIES STANDS This has been one of the most compelling playoff series in recent memory and Game 4 was the wildest chapter yet. Victor Wembanyama was ejected early in the second quarter after throwing an elbow that connected with Naz Reid's neck, drawing an automatic Flagrant 2 disqualification with roughly 32 minutes still left in the game. The crowd at Target Center went wild when he walked off — and what happened next was nothing short of remarkable. Dylan Harper and De'Aaron Fox each scored 24 points and Stephon Castle added 20 as the Spurs guards refused to fold, turning the rest of the night into a midrange clinic and actually building an eight-point lead in the fourth quarter without their franchise cornerstone. They nearly pulled it off without him. Anthony Edwards had other ideas. He finished with 36 points including 16 in the fourth quarter, hitting a 27-footer to spark a 12-3 run that flipped the game before Minnesota closed it out 114-109 to even the series at two games apiece. --- THE WEMBY SITUATION HEADING INTO TONIGHT The NBA determined not to add further punishment beyond the ejection itself, so Wembanyama was cleared to play in Game 5. Both De'Aaron Fox and Dylan Harper were listed as questionable heading into tonight — Fox with an ankle injury after being landed on by Ayo Dosunmu in Game 4, and Harper with left knee soreness — but both were officially available after making it through pregame warmups. The winner of this series faces the Oklahoma City Thunder, who swept the Los Angeles Lakers in four games and have been waiting on deck. The stakes could not be any higher. A trip to the Western Conference Finals is on the line tonight in San Antonio. --- THE BIG PICTURE This Spurs team was supposed to be building for the future. Instead they are one win away from the Conference Finals with their franchise player healthy and back in the lineup and the home crowd behind them. Wembanyama is averaging 18.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game in the series, while Edwards is averaging 25.8 points on the other side. Two of the most exciting players on the planet, a series tied at two, winner take the momentum. This is what the NBA playoffs are made for. --- SUBSCRIBE AND HIT THE BELL — We are going LIVE after EVERY San Antonio Spurs playoff game this postseason.

On this segment of the Garden Level Podcast, hosts Cam Stuart and Dan Conlon are joined by Black N Gold Productions draft and prospects analyst Neil Simmons to debate one of the biggest questions facing the Boston Bruins this offseason: will the organization make a massive blockbuster trade to maximize the prime years of superstar David Pastrnak? Neil Simmons lays out why he believes the Bruins should seriously consider going all-in this summer — even if it means moving elite prospect James Hagens in a blockbuster package for proven No. 1 center Robert Thomas of the St. Louis Blues. The guys discuss why Boston’s lack of an elite top-line center has prevented the Bruins from fully capitalizing on Pastrnak’s prime, how Robert Thomas could immediately transform the Bruins’ offense, and whether trading a highly touted young prospect like Hagens is worth the risk if it reopens a legitimate Stanley Cup window. Cam Stuart, Dan Conlon, and Neil Simmons also break down what a realistic trade package could look like, whether the Blues would even entertain moving Thomas, and how aggressive Boston’s front office should be heading into a pivotal offseason for the franchise. 🔥 Topics Covered: • Should the Bruins go all-in this summer? • Why Neil Simmons would trade James Hagens • Could Robert Thomas become Boston’s No. 1 center? • Maximizing David Pastrnak’s Stanley Cup window • What a Bruins blockbuster trade package could look like • The future direction of the Bruins franchise 📺 Subscribe to the Garden Level Podcast for Bruins coverage, NHL trade rumors, prospect analysis, and weekly Boston hockey discussions with Cam Stuart and Dan Conlon.

Charlie Coyle's recent contract extension with the Columbus Blue Jackets—a six-year deal at $6 million per year despite Coyle being 34—serves as a warning sign for the New Jersey Devils about the dangers of overpaying in free agency. Zach Berman urges the Devils to steer clear of such costly contracts when shopping for players in 2026, emphasizing that the team is in a much better position now with a savvy new general manager leading their front office restructuring. The landscape of NHL management is also shifting, with news about potential GM hires in Nashville and Vancouver signaling wider changes—but Zach Berman notes that the Devils' recent hire of Sunny Mehta might be the most impressive move among teams this offseason. Analyzing the upcoming free agent market, Zach Berman highlights how several available players bring significant risk and are likely to command overpriced deals. Names like Darren Raddysh, who had a breakout season at age 30, and Rasmus Andersson, who is coming off an uneven run, may look tempting but are "landmine" contracts waiting to happen. Even forwards like Alex Tuch—despite strong numbers in Buffalo—are likely too expensive to justify bringing in. The majority of top free agents either do not fit the Devils' needs or are expected to re-sign with their current teams. Instead of chasing risky free agents, Zach Berman recommends the Devils focus on internal roster moves and targeting trade opportunities, especially as key players like Nico Hischier approach extension talks. The cautionary tale of Charlie Coyle’s deal underscores the danger of long-term commitments to aging players, and the Devils should focus on sustainability and flexibility rather than splashy signings that could impede their progress. Finally, Zach Berman discusses coaching changes around the league, most notably the ongoing saga in Edmonton where the Oilers are interviewing Bruce Cassidy despite still having Kris Knoblauch under contract. Zach Berman argues that, should Knoblauch become available, he would be an excellent candidate for the Devils’ head coach position. However, the larger theme remains: while other franchises make questionable moves, the Devils are being urged to remain patient, prudent, and to take advantage of opportunities born from other teams’ mistakes.
