The NBA Draft Was REALLY BORING…And Predictable
Well, it was really predictable if your name is Shams Charania. The 2023 NBA Draft has come and gone, and it was the most…boring night one could have imagined as nearly every player went where they were predicted and there wasn’t any major trades. Do you want to know how to bore 5M+ people for
Warriors Trading For Chris Paul Is A Very Odd Move…
I don’t know how I like this move for Golden State. The Mike Dunleavy Jr. era as the GM of the Golden State Warriors has gotten off to an interesting start as he made a blockbuster trade to acquire Chris Paul from the Wizards for Jordan Poole and draft picks. I get the logic behind the
Celtics MASSIVE 3-Team Trade For Porzingis Is…Great, I Guess?
This has to go down as one of the biggest and strangest trades of the offseason. The Celtics, Wizards, Grizzlies have just made a huge, weird 3-team trade that saw Kristaps Porzingis join the C’s and Marcus Smart head to the Grizzlies. I really don’t know how I feel about this deal. The Boston Celtics,
The Wizards Are TRADING BRADLEY BEAL To The Suns For WHAT?!?!?!
Are the Wizards just this stupid, or is there another deal happing in the works. The Washington Wizards are trading away Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns for Chris Paul and a bag of potato chips…even though they literally have no one else on their roster to compete with. Whenever you think your franchise is
Michael Jordan Has Sold The Hornets For $3B!
Well, at least the Hornets might actually be good for a change. Michael Jordan has finally called it wraps on his ownership adventure as he’s officially sold his majority stake in the Charlotte Hornets for a whopping $3B! Say what you will about MJ as an owner, but he’s just made 10X his original investment.
THE DENVER NUGGETS ARE NBA CHAMPIONS, WIN GAME 5 94-89 OVER HEAT!
The longest drought in NBA history is at last over. The Denver Nuggets have finally won the NBA championship as they beat the Miami Heat 94-89 in Game 5 to win the series 4-1 and secure the franchise’s first ever title. 50 years of misery, sadness, anticipation, hope, disappointment on repeat has finally been broken.
Nuggets Swept Past Heat In Miami, One Win Away From Title
Yeah, this series is over. The Denver Nuggets just had a series-defining win as they completed the Miami sweep by winning Game 4 108-95 to push their series lead 3-1. It’s really impressive the Heat have gotten this far, but the fairy tale story is just about over. The Denver Nuggets have passed the third
The Nuggets Take Their Defensive Duties Serious Again, THRASH Heat 109-94
Well, I guess Mike Malone’s criticism proved to be effective. The Denver Nuggets have taken another step closer to be crowded NBA champions as they played stellar defense against the Miami Heat, humbling them 109-94 to take a 2-1 lead. This game was the epitome of how the Nuggets can win this series. After a brutal,
The Heat SURVIVE Nuggets Comeback 111-108, Tie Series 1-1
We’ve got a series again. The Miami Heat pretty much saved their season and hopes for another NBA title as they beat the Denver Nuggets 111-108, coming up with a huge last-second stop to tie the series 1-1. This Heat team just won’t give up! The Miami Heat have tied the NBA Finals against all
Pistons Hiring Monty Williams To A 6-Year, $78M Deal Is Super Smart…If Given Time
This could turn around this dysfunctional franchise…if done right. The Detroit Pistons have finally made a competent coaching hire as they brought in former Suns coach Monty Williams to a 6-year, $78M deal that should really help this franchise so long as Williams is given enough time. The Pistons really need this coaching hire to
The Nuggets TAKE OUT Heat EASILY 104-93, Lead Finals 1-0
This could be a very short series if the games continue like this. The Denver Nuggets continue destroying every opponent in front of them as they tore apart the Miami Heat 104-93 in Game 1, cementing a 1-0 lead for them in the NBA Finals. We might be heading for a sweep if Miami isn’t
Scottie Pippen Calling MJ A “Horrible Player” Before He Arrived In CHI Is Just Wrong
This is just factually incorrect. Scottie Pippen has shown his bitterness about his time with the Bulls once again as he had the nerve to say Michael Jordan was a “horrible player” before he arrived in Chicago. I don’t think I’ve ever seen more bitter, jealous person than Scottie Pippen. In classic Pippen style, the
The Heat CRUSH Celtics And Avoid Game 7 Disaster, Clinch Another Finals Appearance
This Heat team has a nerve of vibranium. The Miami Heat overcame a terrible GM 6 loss, the raucous Boston crowd, and the threat of history as they crushed the Celtics 103-84 in Game 7, cementing their 2nd Finals appearance in the last three years. This Heat team is what every team in the league
Celtics WIN GM 6 WITH A DERRICK WHITE BUZZER BEATER, FORCE UNPRECEDENTED GAME 7!
I can’t believe what I witnessed in that game. The Boston Celtics survived elimination AGAIN as they forced Game 7 against the Heat with a 104-103 win on the back of a Derrick White BUZZER BEATER! This might very well be the game (and series for that matter) of the decade. The Boston Celtics are
Celtics Stave Off Elimination Once Again, Force Game 6
Okay, this series is becoming far more interesting. The Boston Celtics survived yet another elimination game as they beat the Miami Heat 110-97 in Game 5 to get the series to 3-2 and give themselves a sliver of hope of advancing for Game 6. I’m not taking back anything I said after Game 3, but
The Heat CATEGORICAL HUMILIATED Celtics 128-102 To Go Up 3-0, Series Is OVER
If you need any proof on what is and is not a championship-caliber team, go watch this game. The Miami Heat decided to show the world what a championship team actually looks like as they DESTROYED the Boston Celtics 128-102 in Game 3 to go up 3-0 in the series. As a Celtics player, it
Heat Outlast Celtics AGAIN With 111-105 GM 2 Win, Heading Back To Miami Up 2-0
This series is over, isn’t it? The Miami Heat have again proven hard work, discipline, and commitment to a gameplan will always triumph inconsistent greatness as they beat the Celtics 111-105 in Game 2 to take a 2-0 series lead back to Miami. That ESPN guy who gave the Heat a 3% chance of winning
The Heat EXPLODE For Game 1 Victory Over Celtics, Proving This Is A TIGHT SERIES
Who was the idiot that gave the Heat a 3% chance of winning? The Miami Heat exploded in the 3rd quarter for nearly 50 points as they won Game 1 123-116 over the Celtics, proving this is going to be an extremely close series. This Heat team is honestly one of the most remarkable units
The 76ers FIRE Doc Rivers…
Yeah, this was obviously going to happen. In the wake of yet another blown series lead and a horrid Game 7 performance, the 76ers have fired Doc Rivers as The Process is unraveling before our very eyes. I really do like Doc Rivers as a HC, but his record in big games is simply woeful!
The Celtics ABSOUTLEY OBLETIRATE The 76ers, Dominate GM 7 To Advance
FINALLY, the C’s showed just how good they can be. On the back of a historical, epic performance from Jayson Tatum, the Boston Celtics utterly annihilated the 76ers 112-88 in Game 7 to win the series and earn a spot in the Eastern Conference Finals. And here I thought Jayson Tatum couldn’t have a better
Celtics Somehow Get SAVED By Tatum…After Nearly Being Doomed By Him, Force GM 7
I’ve got no words for how this game went down. The Boston Celtics were somehow able to pull off an incredible 95-86 win over the 76ers in Game 6 both in spite and because of Jayson Tatum, giving way for an all-decisive Game 7 in Boston. Has an NBA franchise superstar ever saved his legacy
The 76ers UTTERLY DOMINATED The Celtics In Game 5 115-103, One Win Away From ECF
As a Celtics fan, all I can say is well done, Philadelphia, for actually trying. The Philadelphia 76ers made franchise history as they won their first road Game 5 in a tied series to date as they THRASHED a wimpish Celtics team 115-103 to put them a single win away from a Conference Finals appearance.
Bucks FIRE Mike Budenholzer, Unceremoniously Ending His Successful Reign
I have to say this was a bit premature. The Bucks have made their first big decision following their upset 4-1 series loss to the 8th seeded Miami Heat as they fired longtime coach Mike Budenholzer. This may end up being the right move, but it just feels wrong to do so right after such
Celtics ABSOLUTELY OBLITERATE 76ers By 34 PTS, Tie Series 1-1!
That was an utter slaughter. The Boston Celtics showed they aren’t going to get pushed aside by the 76ers as they humbled Philly 121-87 to tie the series 1-1 and take back all the momentum. I don’t think we’ll see a blowout that bad for the rest of the postseason. The Boston Celtics halted the
The Celtics FINALLY Knock Off The Hawks, Win Series 4-2
What a hard-fought series. After some of the most intense, hard fought playoff games of 2023 yet, the Boston Celtics finally beat the Atlanta Hawks 128-120 in Game 6 to win the series 4-2 and book their place in the Second Round. I really mean this when I say it: both teams deserved to move
THE HEAT UPSET THE BUCKS IN MILWAUKEE 128-126, Win Series 4-1!!!
What an utterly incredible performance by Miami. The 8th seeded Miami Heat have overcome all the odds and BEATEN the 1st seeded Milwaukee Bucks 4-1 as Jimmy Butler had another all-time great performance to help the Heat win Game 5 128-126. That’s how you pull off one of the most incredible upsets in NBA history.
Heat Vs. Bucks: Playoff Jimmy BALLS OUT For 56 PTS, Gives Heat 3-1 Lead
That may have been one of the single greatest playoff performances I’ve ever seen. The Miami Heat were CARRIED to victory by Jimmy Butler as he posted an incredible 56 PTS to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks and give the 8th seeded Heat a 3-1 series lead. WHAT A PERFORMANCE! I don’t know what else to
The 76ers Have All But Wrapped Up Series Vs. Nets Despite Controversies, Take 3-0 Lead
Yeah, this was the expected result…even with the ejection controversies. The Philadelphia 76ers have all but secured their place in the Second Round as they defeated the Brooklyn Nets with their 102-97 controversial win in Game 3 to take the unconquerable 3-0 series lead. This series has been wrapped up…finally. I’ll give the Brooklyn Net
Bucks Could Be In Seriously Trouble After 130-117 GM 1 Loss To Heat…
There’s definitely no reason to panic if you’re a Bucks fan…yet. The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a big blow in their title quest as they lost Game 1 130-117 to the Miami Heat as Giannis Antetokounmpo left the game early with a back injury. Like I said in the intro, the Bucks are pigeonholing themselves into
Timberwolves, Heat Both EASILY Fend Off Challengers, Make It Out Of Play-In
This is why these two teams finished within the Top-8 in their, respective, conferences. Both the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Miami Heat beat off their lower-seeded opponents as they handily won their Play-In games, cementing them as the 8th seeds in their, respective, conferences. Like I said, the results of these two games are why
NBA & NBPA Finally Come Together, Reach New CBA Agreement
Hopefully, this fixes the glaring errors in the league. The NBA and the Players Association have finally come together and agreed to a new, 7-year CBA agreement starting in the 2023-24 season, ensuring there won’t be a lockout. Well, the deal is not officially signed yet as the players and board of governors (aka: the
Nets MUST Cut Ben Simmons After Latest Shutdown
I’m sorry to say it, but this situation has turned into a worst-case scenario for both parties. The Brooklyn Nets have been forced to shut down Ben Simmons for an entire season once again as his back injuries have returned, leaving his expensive spot on the roster an unnecessary expense. I think it’s clear to
Kevin Durant And Charles Barkley Feud Just Never Gets Old
This two will be fighting from now to the end of time. Charles Barkley has found a new way to take a shot at Kevin Durant during the former’s 60 Minutes interview, which obviously provoked Durant to insult Barkley in an equally new light. Forget the Celtics vs. Lakers, 1990’s Bulls vs. Pistons, 1990’s Bulls vs.
Celtics Are In Serious Risk Of Losing Jaylen Brown This Offseason…
It really wouldn’t surprise me if Jalen Brown rejects the supermax and hits the free agent market. The Celtics and Jaylen Brown haven’t really gotten on the same page for a contract extension as the constant trade speculation involving Brown could have permanently soured the relationship. This would be a catastrophic loss for the Celtics
Celtics Blow YET ANOTHER Double-Digit Lead, Lose 118-117 Vs. Jazz
At least the Heat’s loss secured their 9th straight trip to the postseason. The Boston Celtics are crawling over the finish line as they lost another double-digit lead to a lottery-picking team with their 118-117 loss to the Utah Jazz. This team has a serious, serious, serious problem: THEY ARE TOO SMALL! In their last
Hornets Owner Michael Jordan Is In Talk To Sell The Team…
It’s going to be a sad day when MJ isn’t at the forefront of the NBA. Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan has been in talks with outside businessmen and his own minority owners as he is looking to sell his majority stake in the team. I know Michael Jordan has been a pretty bad owner
Ja Morant Getting Suspended For 8 Games By NBA Was The Only Way Forward
There has to be a strict discipline for such behavior, and I think Adam Silver got it right with this suspension. The NBA and commissioner Adam Silver has suspended Grizzlies superstar guard Ja Morant for 8 games in light of his nightclub-gun video that has set the NBA world on fire these last few weeks.
Fred VanVleet Is Right With NBA Refs Being SO SOFT!
These guys might actually be some of the softest people in all of sports. Toronto Raptors PG Fred VanVleet publicly and rightfully called out the NBA referees as being too soft and emotional as technical calls and ejections are happening every night. It’s crazy how emotional the NBA referees have become in such a short
The Celtics Are Really Worrying Me Now…
So much for me saying this team was untouchable. The Celtics have been absolutely dreadful since the all-star break as they’ve gone 3-4, lost the lead in the East, and have blown three 10+ point leads in said span. Is this just a mid/late season stumble, or the Celtics getting found out by the rest
Hawks Hiring Quinn Snyder Was A FANTASTIC Move
There’s finally going to be unity and order established in this franchise. The Atlanta Hawks have made a brilliant move in signing former Utah Jazz HC Quin Snyder to a 5-year contract as their playoff push grows even more contested and tight. This might very well be the best thing that has happened to the
Hawks Fire HC Nate MacMillian As Their Playoff Dreams Fly Away
Okay, bad pun but you get the point. The Atlanta Hawks have fired yet another coach as Nate MacMillian has been relieved of his duties only a few days before the NBA season was set to resume, leaving the Hawks coach-less in the most important stretch of the season. There comes a point in time
NFL Drug Testing Just Never Lets Up…Even When Their Athletes Play Different Sports
Can’t a man just have fun at another sports’ all-star game? After putting up an MVP performance at the NBA Celebrity All-Star game, DK Metcalf posted that the NFL Health And Safety office has contacted him about getting drug tested, even though it’s the offseason. We all know that DK Metcalf is a freak of
The NBA Is Going To Have An Almighty Reckoning…And It’s The Nets Fault
There’s going to be a massive battle between ownership and players at the new collective bargaining agreement. Adam Silver has blatantly said that “player trade demands are a bad thing” in an interview with ESPN, ensuring there will be a fight over player empowerment at the 2024 NBA collective bargaining agreement negotiation. There was always
This Was The BEST NBA Trade Deadline EVER!
This had to be the biggest trade deadline in NBA history. None of the NBA teams shied away from making huge moves today as there were over 15 official trades, with half the Western Conference bolstering up for a competitive playoff run. Like I said in the title, this has to be the very best
MASSIVE TRADE: Suns Give Up Future To Land KEVIN DURANT From Nets In 4-Team Deal
What a blockbuster move by Phoenix and new owner Matt Ishbia. The Phoenix Suns have made the biggest move of the trade deadline as they coughed up 5 1st round picks and four roster players to acquire Kevin Durant in a deal that also involved the Nets, Pacers, and Bucks. WHAT. A. TRADE! This might
Kyrie Irving Has Been Traded To…The Dallas Mavericks!
The Kyrie Irving saga has at long last been concluded. The Brooklyn Nets have finally cut ties with their extraordinarily controversial superstar, Kyrie Irving, as they traded him to the Mavericks for three picks and two players. Thank the basketball gods that this saga is over. I don’t think there has been a worse player-city/franchise
Kyrie Irving Demands OUT OF BROOKLYN, Proves He’s A Team Destroyer
This guy is honestly the most baffling basketball player to have existed. Despite putting up all-star level numbers on a contending Nets team, Kyrie Irving has demanded a trade out of Brooklyn a week before the trade deadline. This is why you can NEVER, EVER rely on Kyrie Irving as a franchise basketball player. Like
Celtics Vs. Nets: That Was A Blowout Of EPIC Proportions
What a shellacking Boston dished out to Brooklyn last night. The Boston Celtics showed no mercy to the Kevin Durant-less Nets as they led by as many as 49 points in a 139-96 dismantling of an Eastern Conference rival. That’s how you bounce back from a slump in form against a contending team in the
LeBron James Was Robbed Vs. Celtics…But It’s Not Like Lakers Are Going Anywhere
You’d have thought that LeBron was robbed of the NBA Championship by his reaction. The Lakers and LeBron James were robbed of an obvious foul call late in their 125-121 loss to the Celtics, but it’s not like the game was that important. Ah, there’s nothing like seeing LeBron James, the biggest star on the
Pistons Vs. Magic Brawl: Almost A Second Malice In The Palace
The Detroit PA announcers must have had Vietnam flashbacks when the Magic bench cleared. The Pistons and Magic got into a huge brawl over a cheap shot by Magic center Mo Wagner and then a dirty sucker punch by Pistons PG Killian Hayes, resulting in over a dozen suspensions. You can take the Bad Boy
The Nets Have Done Something I Thought Impossible: They Stopped Being Selfish
I’ll be the first one to admit I may have written off the Nets too early. The Brooklyn Nets and their superstars have stopped being the biggest sideshow in the NBA and have actually focused on playing the game, resulting in them going on a 9-game winning streak. This was always the thing about the
The Bulls Are In Huge Trouble…
Can this Chicago team get any more disjointed? The Chiago Bulls have fallen to 11-16 with their 128-120 loss to the New York Knicks last night, pushing them down to 11th in the East and well outside the playoffs. This team is so much better on paper than what they are producing on a nightly
The Celtics Desperately Need Another Big Man, Overcome Lakers 122-118
This team will win the championship…if they can keep their big man healthy. The Boston Celtics showed last night with their 122-118 OT win over the Lakers that they desperately need another big man in their lineup or else this championship-caliber group will go to waste against bigger teams. That game was the epitome of
Michael Jordan Is The NBA’s MVP…Literally
You never could get this trophy away from MJ when he was playing, so why not give it to him now. In the show of ultimate respect, the NBA has announced that they have effectively immediately renamed and redesigned the MVP award after Michael Jordan, thus further cementing his legacy. MJ was the only person
76ers-Lakers Game Shows That Philly Isn’t Going Anywhere…
This team is not winning two playoff series, let alone the championship. The Philadelphia 76ers showed with their narrow victory over the Los Angeles Lakers that they are not a contender in the East, despite paying so much money on generational superstars. If you needed any more proof that the 76ers aren’t a contender in
Celtics Prove Their Dominance, DESTROY Suns 125-98
That was the best team in the West? The Boston Celtics utterly destroyed the best team of the Western Conference, the Phoenix Suns, in an uncompetitive blowout by winning the game 125-98. That was a slaughter of extraordinary proportions. The Boston Celtics and the Phoenix Suns came into that game last night as the two
The Knicks Are Underperforming AGAIN
What a shocker: the Knicks suck. The New York Knicks have failed to live up to expectations once again as they have yet to get going this season with them currently sitting in 11th place in the East on a 10-13 record. No matter how many times the New York Knicks are hyped up in
The Celtics Keep Rolling With Win Over Kings
This team is nearly unbeatable. The Boston Celtics have furthered their lead atop the East by 1.5 games as they beat down the resurgent Sacramento Kings 122-104 to improve their record to 15-4. Can anyone stop the Celtics? Despite so much offseason turmoil, this Celtics roster has proven that their Finals loss to the Golden
How Did The Nets Lose To The 76ers?
No Embiid, Harden, and Maxey and they still lost?!? The Brooklyn Nets have floundered once again as they lost to an injury-battered, starless 76ers team 115-106 in Ben Simmons return game to Philadelphia. The Brooklyn Nets are such a weird team to watch. On one night they can look like the greatest team to have
Giannis Burns Bucks With 11 FREE THROW MISSES, Lose 110-102 To 76ers
That was a performance Shaq would be proud of. The Milwaukee Bucks have dropped to 11-4 on the season with their loss to the Philadelphia 76ers as Giannis missed 11 free throws in a dreadful shooting performance. Wow, I don’t think Giannis Antetokounmpo could have had a worse night from the free throw line if he tried.
Nets Really Need To Trade KD…
The Nets really need to blow everything up and start over. The Brooklyn Nets fiasco continues to grow larger and more volatile as the day go by as now Kevin Durant has come out and openly criticized his teammates by name, even saying that it’s impossible to win with them. The KD-Kyrie experiment has been
The Celtics Are A FORCE To Be Reckoned With, Crush Hawks 126-101
Wow, that was a drubbing if I’ve ever seen one. The Boston Celtics continued steamrolling the NBA as they crushed the Atlanta Hawks 126-101 without even having Marcus Smart or Malcolm Brogdon in the backcourt. This Celtics team is a legit contender for the NBA Championship in spite of all of the negative press and
Nets Look Really Good…Without Kyrie Irving
Well, this is a little awkward. The Nets have surprised everyone by winning three of their last four games and looked good doing it…even though Kyrie Irving has not played a single minute. It seems like Kyrie Irving has hurt himself with that post even more than anyone could have realized. Prior to getting suspended
And Now Kyrie Irving Has Been Suspended AT A MINIMUM Of 5 Games…
I knew this situation would divulge into an utter mess. The Brooklyn Nets have clearly had enough of Kyrie Irving as they have suspended their star for a minimum of 5 games, though Irving’s newest apology might just save him from complete ruin. Everyone knew that Kyrie Irving was playing with fire when he doubled
Kyrie Irving Is Becoming A Huge Problem For The NBA…
This situation could get very ugly. Even though he and the Nets pledged a combined $1M to various Jewish-support groups, Kyrie Irving has doubled down on his comments and posts that has now forced Adam Silver to have an in-person hearing with him. I’m not even exaggerating when I say that Kyrie Irving might get
Nets Problems Get Even Worse, Lose 108-99 To Bulls
When it rains it pours, and especially when you’re in Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Nets came into their first game since Steve Nash’s firing…and blew multiple 10+ point leads to lose 108-99 to the Chicago Bulls as Kyrie Irving had a Nets’ career worst 4-point night. There isn’t a team more comical in the NBA than
What A Shocker: Steve Nash Is OUT As Nets Coach…Yes, That’s Sacrasm
Obviously, this isn’t very shocking at all. The Brooklyn Nets have finally put head coach Steve Nash out of his misery as they fired the NBA legend after only seven games into the season, though they were a dreadful seven games. Yeah, this Brooklyn Nets abomination needs to be set on fire and forgotten about
Ben Simmons Is A Problem…
He’s becoming a huge issue for the Nets now. It’s painfully clear that Ben Simmons return to the NBA has gone worse than imagined as he’s already fouled out of two games and has less than 6 points/game, making him a huge liability on the court. If you ever wanted to see what a broken
Nets Looked Terrible, Blown Out 130-108 By Pelicans
Is this really surprising anymore? The Brooklyn Nets have overcome all of their offseason turmoil and struggles…to only get blown out by Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans 130-108 on their own home court. The Brooklyn Nets are truly an abomination of a basketball team. Everything about this team and the franchise just looks
Celtics, Warriors Surge To Wins On Opening Night
Last season’s NBA title finalists have gotten their, respective, follow-up campaigns off on a winning start. The Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors have won on the NBA’s 2022/23 opening night, sinking the 76ers and the Lakers in the process. Well, out of the two losing teams, one of them put in a great
Is LeBron James Right? Should There Be An NBA Team In Las Vegas?
King James might be onto something with this suggestion. LeBron James has recently said in an interview that if the NBA had another expansion, he would like to see the next expansion team located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Out of all of the sports that match the atmosphere of a city like Las Vegas, I
Something’s Off With This Ime Udoka Story…
There’s obviously more to this story than what the Celtics are letting on. With Ime Udoka now officially suspended for the 2022/23 season, the coyness and secrecy still surrounding this topic by the Celtics hierarchy in their press conference today was really strange. What are the Celtics not revealing about this Udoka story? I thought
Wait, Why Is Ime Udoka Suspended For A Year?
This really came out of left field. Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka will be SUSPENDED FOR A YEAR by his own team as the Celtics said he engaged in an inappropriate affair with a female employee. This story is crazy. Ime Udoka was (and really still is) the brightest young coaching candidate in the
An NBA In-Season Tournament Is Just Plain Dumb
Why is this even a thing being seriously discussed? With the recent news that the NBA in-season tournament will be introduced into the NBA next season, it just further proves that the NBA executives have way too much time on their hands. Who thought that this tournament was a good idea? The NBA is currently
Cavaliers Make Themselves East Contenders By Acquiring Donovan Mitchell
The East is STACKED! The Cleveland Cavaliers have made themselves contenders overnight by acquiring Utah’s Donovan Mitchell for 3 unprotected 1st-round picks and 3 players. How many great teams are there in the East now? 7? Well, you can definitely add the Cleveland Cavaliers to that mix as by acquiring Donovan Mitchell, the Cavaliers hierarchy
Kevin Durant Is STAYING In Brooklyn As His Trade Request Is Refused
The three-month long saga has ended. The Brooklyn Nets hierarchy and leadership has recently meet with Kevin Durant and told him that he WILL NOT be traded. What a letdown this trade saga ended up being. From potentially seeing two of the NBA’s most marketable and skilled players traded for massive hauls, to not seeing
Sorry Milwaukee Fans But Giannis Is Going To Leave
It may not be in the next few years, but this is going to happen. Giannis Antetokounmpo has recently done an interview with a local Chicago T.V. network and expressed his interest (well, more like life-long goal) in joining the Chicago Bulls and leave Milwaukee. The story of the 2020-21 Giannis-led Milwaukee Bucks overcoming every
Bill Russell’s #6 Will Become The First Universally Retired NBA Jersey
There really is no greater man to have this honor posthumously bestowed upon him. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has announced today that Bill Russell’s #6 jersey will be the first jersey to be retired universally around the NBA. This is an honor that few players in sports history, let alone the NBA, have received. Only
KD Ultimatum: Either Trade Him Or Fire Steve Nash And Sean Marks
Kevin Durant has reportedly confronted Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai with an ultimatum: trade KD or get rid of coach Steve Nash and GM Sean Marks. If these reports are true, then KD has just set the beginning groundworks of the most influential decision for the next five years of basketball. Will a franchise superstar
Bill Russell: The Legend Of Basketball Has Passed Away
The basketball world has lost its most influential star. Boston Celtics legend, Bill Russell, has unfortunately passed away today at the age of 88. I think it’s only fair to take a moment and honor the icon that was Bill Russell. When one looks back at the trailblazers of equality in professional sports, one of
Uh Oh, 76ers, You Guys May Be In Trouble
The Philadelphia 76ers may have just been busted for tampering with the CBAs rules on free agency with their recent acquisitions of P.J. Tucker, Danuel House, and resigning James Harden. The current CBA deal has strict rules in place to combat against NBA franchises reaching out and agreeing to deals with soon-to-be free agents before
Finally, There Is Some KD Trade News!
This has to be the longest, most drawn out trade negotiations in history. Kevin Durant has yet to be traded, despite wishing to be moved three weeks ago. Thankfully, there was finally some brand-new murmurs that the Boston Celtics, of all people, are in for KD. I have been crying out for the Celtics to
Jerry West Is Right. JJ Redick Hasn’t Earned The Right To Discredit Bob Cousy
A few months ago on First Take, former NBA guard JJ Redick mocked Boston Celtics legend Bob Cousy’s accomplishments by saying that he was “guarded by plumbers and fireman”. Well, LA Lakers great Jerry West clearly didn’t agree as he slammed JJ Reddick’s whole career by essentially calling him a nobody. First off, let me
Knicks Are Going To Be Bad Again…It’s Just A Matter Of How Disappointing It Will Be
To the sadness of Stephen A. Smith and Spike Lee, we all know the New York Knicks are going to be bad next season. The only thing we don’t know is how disappointing they will make it. To the surprise of myself (and probably every Knicks fan), the New York Knicks actually made it to
Indiana Pacers Push The Initiative Onto The Suns By Offering Max Deal To Ayton
Clearly, the Indiana Pacers are also sick and tired of waiting around for the monstrous Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant trade to happen. Thankfully, for all of us, they have pushed the initiative back onto the Phoenix Suns by offering RFA Deandre Ayton a 4-year, $133M max offer sheet. This should be the domino that
Michael Jordan Is Once Again The Face Of The NBA…2K
For the fourth time, Michael Jordan will be on the cover of the NBA 2K gaming series as he is set to appear as the face of NBA 2K23 and NBA 2K23 championship edition. So, in other words, MJ will be the face of the NBA once more. This is a great idea from 2K
Heat Will Be Title Favorites Again, But Will Face Much Tougher Competition Than Before
These past three years really should have been the time for Miami Heat to have one their long-awaited fourth NBA title. With the same core ready to go for a fourth consecutive season, the Heat will again be considered favorites to emerge from the East. The only problem is that this time there will be
Bulls Are Standing At The Doors Of Greatness, KD Might Be Enough To Push Them Through
The Chicago Bulls have assembled one of the all-round best rosters in the NBA this offseason. Resigning superstar Zach LaVine has cemented the Bulls as a definite playoff team next year. Yet, trading for KD could cement them as definite NBA championship contenders. This very well may be the best Chicago Bulls team since Michael
Pacers’ Brogdon Traded To Celtics, Puts Them Right Back Into Title Contention
It feels like every team in the NBA is becoming a title contender this offseason, except for Brooklyn. I’m just glad the Celtics are trying to be one of them as they just picked up Malcolm Brogdon from the Indiana Pacers for Daniel Theis, Aaron Nesmith, and a 2023 1st-round pick. A bargain, I know.
Kevin Durant WANTS OUT Of Brooklyn, Suns and Heat Want Him
It’s official. Kevin Durant has asked to be traded from the Brooklyn Nets. This would-be dynasty in Brooklyn spoiled faster than warm milk on a hot summer day. I would say that I’m shocked that KD wants out of Brooklyn, but that would be a lie. If I was KD, I would want out of
What A Suprise: Bradley Beal Stays With Wizards
Did anyone expect anything different? Of course, Bradley Beal was going to opt-out of his previous deal with the Wizards to sign a monstrous 5-year, $251M max extension. I’m starting to believe that Bradley Beal lacks any championship ambition as he signs away his prime years to a team that hasn’t made it to the
Bucks Keep Portis, Add Joe Ingles To Cement Championship Roster
In this crazy NBA world, the Milwaukee Bucks have made sensible, smart choices by resigning Bobby Portis and adding veteran Joe Ingles to their championship-winning roster. The Bucks know that they don’t need a KD or a Kyrie-type trade to put them into title contention. Nor do they need a $100M (overpriced, if you ask
Is Kyrie Heading Back To LeBron And His Lakers?
The talk of Kyrie Irving and his future with the Brooklyn Nets has been discussed to death in the sports media world and will continued to be talked about until Irving finally decides his long-term future. Yet, even with Kyrie deciding to opt-in to his $36.5M deal with the Nets this season, I’m not so
Hawks Trade For Dejounte Murray, Instantly Become Contenders In The East
The Atlanta Hawks obviously were unhappy with their early, First Round exit in the playoffs last season. So much so, that they went out and traded 3 First Round Picks and Danilo Gallinari for San Antonio’s All-Star guard Dejounte Murray. Like it or not, they now have one of the best back courts in the
Orlando Magic Complete The Rebuild By Drafting Paolo Banchero 1st Overall
Of all the teams that needed a future All-Star, from this draft, it was the Orlando Magic. Their greatest ever players Shaquile O’Neal, more known for his time with the Lakers, and Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway, who had his career severely hampered by injuries, last played for the Magic over 30-years ago. It has been a
Pistons Are Coming For The NBA Championship Soon
The 2022 NBA Draft was awful to some teams (New York Knicks), while being great to others. The Pistons were one of those “other” teams as they drafted Jaden Ivey 5th overall, greatly complimenting an already developing team. The Detroit Pistons have been bad for a while. Making the playoffs only twice in a decade
Knicks Really Are Trying To Drive Their Fans Crazy
It must be painful to be a Knicks fan. Not only has the team not won an NBA championship since 1973 and have been hardly competitive under James Dolan’s ownership, but also the management (James Dolan, more specifically) has continued to sabotage the Knicks future. Their three-team trade of their 11th overall pick last night
Where Does Brooklyn Go Now After Three Years Of KD-Kyrie Playoff Faliure?
It has been three years since Kevin Durant made his career-altering decision to leave the Warriors’ dynasty and join up with Kyrie Irving to start a new superpower with the Brooklyn Nets. So far, however, they’ve failed. The Nets are further away from an NBA championship than ever before under the KD-Kyrie reign. The Brooklyn
Young Celtics Played To Best Of Their Ability Against Warriors, Still Need More Experience To Win Championships
The Celtics gave it their all in this series, but in the end, the Golden State Warriors were just too experienced and too good to overcome. But that was to be expected. The young, fearless, and naïve Celtic faced off against the disciplined, measured, and experienced Warriors and lost a hard fought, best of seven
Warriors DOMINATE Celtics, Win 7th NBA Title
It’s over. The Golden State Warriors are the 2021/22 NBA Champions. This win brings them their 7th title overall, and this current Warriors dynasty’s 4th title. And, boy, did they win this title convincingly. After going down 2-1 in a disappointing Game 3 loss, the Warrior won the next three straight games, with two of
2 Losses In A Row Spells Impending Doom For Celtics
Back-to-back losses for the Celtics. The first time all playoffs long anyone has uttered those horrendous words. The Celtics have been defeated at the hands of the Golden State Warriors in both Game 4 and now Game 5. And with a Game 2 loss, that puts the Celtics one game away from elimination. But, at
Andrew Wiggins and Warriors Dunks ON The Celtics In The Weirdest Finals Game Yet
Well, that was a strange game. If Game 4 was Steph Curry’s game to show he is the heart of the Warriors’ dynasty, then Game 5 was the rest of the Warriors’ dynasty showing they aren’t too bad either. And, boy, did they prove it by absolutely beating up the Boston Celtics. Everyone on the
Celtics Are Not Out Of This Series, But It Is All Down To Jayson Tatum Now
Losing a massive Game 4 at home to an injured, but still painfully deadly, Steph Curry, was a momentum killer. There is no two ways about it. The Celtics had the chance to put the series on ice, taking a 3-1 series lead back to Golden State where they would have only had to win
Celtics Give Away Golden Chance To Ice The Series
I don’t know how to express my disappointment and frustration with the Celtics. The championship was practically in their hands if they won tonight. Up 3-1 going back to Chase Center, only needing to win 1/3 final games of the series, and all the pressure on the Warriors to win out against a team that
