Western Conference

What Is Going On With The Timberwolves?!?!

This is a strange situation. The Minnesota Timberwolves are having one of their best seasons in franchise history, yet all the talk about the team is revolving around their strange ownership situation! What is going on with the Timberwolves? Despite the team’s tremendous success on the court, the Minnesota Timberwolves are in the midst of

The Warriors Are Going To Fail…

What has happened to this team? The Golden State Warriors are literally clinging onto their Play-In lives in the 10th seed in the West as they hold a meager 1 game lead over the red-hot Houston Rockets. I don’t like making statements like this, but it’s just the truth if nothing changes. Despite having the

Rudy Gobert Has Just Drawn The NBA’s Wrath Against Him…

Yeah, he’s going to be out for a while. Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert is going to be hit with a massive fine and probably a lengthy suspension to boot after essentially insinuating the NBA officials are corrupt and the league’s too involved in gambling. It’s an interesting debate…but one’s that’s definitely going to cost Rudy’s

LeBron James Now Has Over 40k Points!

This is a tremendous accomplishment…on a terrible team, unfortunately. LeBron James became the first player in the history of the NBA to score over 40k regular season points in a career…despite his Lakers losing 124-114 to the Nuggets. This really is how LeBron’s Lakers career has gone down in a nutshell. In spite of getting

The NBA Needs To Take Away All-Star Selections…

That was yet ANOTHER embarrassment to the league. The NBA is really in the midst of a massive player entitlement crisis for these pathetic, embarrassing “all-stars” have disgraced the NBA All-Star game ONCE AGAIN! How many more times do these players need to show their abject disdain for the sport of basketball before the NBA

Wait, The Warriors ACTUALLY Tried To Trade For LeBron James?!?!

This actually happened at the deadline? Some pretty massive and shocking news broke today as it was revealed the Golden State Warriors actually reached out to the Los Angeles Lakers in a bid to try and trade for LeBron James! This is almost comical! Despite both of these teams being Play-In fodder and struggling massively

The NBA 65-Game Rule IS WORKING!!!

This is the best rule the NBA has implemented in years! The NBA rule to stipulate all awards and postseason honors based upon if they played 65 games or not has been a TREMENDOUS success as players are actually playing basketball consistently again. When players get too selfish and entitled, this is what is needed

The Lakers ABSOULTELY SUCK…And Prove In-Season Tournament Is Goofy

Yeah, this is exactly what I thought the In-Season tournament would mean to the NBA season. The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the worst teams in basketball since the In-Season tournament and have fallen all the way out of the West playoff picture. At least the Lakers can hold around their In-Season tournament

The Warriors And Steve Kerr Are RIGHT: The NBA SUCKS To Watch!

FINALLY, we’re getting more and more people to point this out. Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr brutally and justly called out the NBA for how pathetic basketball has become in regard to the sheer number of fouls called these days. Why even have defenses if you’re just going to call fouls on players

The Warriors Are SCREWED With Draymond Green’s INDEFINITE SUSPENSION!

This is going to destroy the Warriors. The Golden State Warriors are going to be EXTREMELY SCREWED for the foreseeable future as Draymond Green has been suspended INFEDINITELY by the NBA. What a disaster this is going to be for the Warriors. The Warriors are really in massive trouble now as they are not only

The NBA In-Season Tournament Was…Promising, I Guess?

And the inaugural tournament is finally done. The very first season of the NBA In-Season tournament has come and gone, and even though there were some very bright moments, it also had some dull spots too. This tournament has more promise than I expected…but I don’t know if the NBA can harness it. With the

Mark Cuban Is SELLING The Dallas Mavericks!

Well, this is really surprising news. It seems like Mark Cuban has decided that 23 years is long enough to be the owner of the Dallas Mavericks as he’s selling the team for $3.5B! I really didn’t expect to see this news this morning. Despite being one of the most prolific, entertaining, recognizable, and longtime

The NBA In-Season Tournament SUCKS…Because It Could Be So Much MORE!!!

Why the hell is this even a thing? The NBA In-Season Tournament has had its opening round of games happen these last few days, and it really is just a big waste of time. There is SO MANY WAYS this in-season tournament could have been modeled, but Adam Silver really had to make it the

The James Harden Saga IS OVER, Clippers DISH OUT THEIR WHOLE FUTURE For Him!

Steve Balmer deserves to be in an insane asylum for making this trade. The Los Angeles Clippers have thrown all of their chips on the board as they’ve traded their entire kitchen sink to the Philadelphia 76ers to stupidly bring in James Harden in a 12-piece move. What the hell is wrong with the Clippers?

Celtics ARE GOING FOR IT ALL With Trail Blazers Trade For Jru Holiday!

We really do have a double-headed monster in the East now. The Boston Celtics are sitting on their hands idly after the Damian Lillard trade as they have made a BLOCKBUSTER move with the Trail Blazers for Jrue Holiday. This is going to be a bloodbath to the end. After the huge trade the Milwaukee

Bucks, Trail Blazers, & Suns MAKE HUGE DAMIAN LILLARD TRADE!!!

This is a MONSTER MOVE! The Damian Lillard trade saga has at long last come to an end as the Trail Blazers, Bucks, and the Suns all came together to make a MASSIVE, 3-team trade! I was not expecting this to be where Damian Lillard ended up. Despite very vocally wanting to go to Miami

Lakers Are STUPID For Signing AD To A New Extension…

Are the Lakers trying to destroy any semblance of future for this team? The LA Lakers have just resigned the perennially injured Anthony Davis to a MASSIVE 3-year, $186M contract extension that’ll keep him on the roster until the 2028 season…when he’ll be 36 years old! This is such a stupid decision. Despite being one

ESPN Just Blew Up Their A-Team NBA Announcing Crew…For No Reason

Is ESPN allergic to compelling, interesting content? Despite being one of the few things interesting to the NBA Finals, the announcing crew of Mike Breen, Stan Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson has been broken up for no real reason. What a stupid decision this is. After nearly 20 years of working NBA Finals series and

The NBA Is NOT HAPPY With Damian Lillard…

When was the last time the league came out this forcefully against a trade? The NBA itself has, in a rather unprecedented manner, come out firmly against Damian Lillard and his agent Aaron Goodwin with a statement making it clear the league will punish Lillard if any more comments about the PG’s unwillingness to play

Spurs Giving Gregg Popovich An $80M Extension Is Most Definitely Deserved

Would you give the winningest coach in NBA history any less, even if he’s 74? Despite a torrid season that saw the Spurs go 22-60, San Antonio has rewarded Gregg Popovich for all his success and tenure with the biggest contract extension in NBA history at 5 years, $80M. I know he’s nearly 80 years

NBA Summer League Debuts Of The 2023 Top-4 Were…Interesting

Yeah, that’s not really how I expected the Top-4’s Summer League debuts to go down. The debuts of the 2023 Top-4 draft picks at the NBA Summer League really didn’t go as planned as injury, poor performances, and general inexperience to American basketball dimmed these four players’ enormous talents. Well, at least they have a

The Victor Wembanyama-Britney Spears Story Is SO CRAZY…And Kind Of Funny

This story is just so random I don’t think even the best fiction writers could make it up. In eager anticipation of the Spurs newest center’s, Victor Wembanyama, debut in the Summer League against the Hornets in Las Vegas, somehow his security guard and Britney Spears got into an altercation. Is it me or is this

The NBA In-Season Tournament Is SO STUPID!

Would someone please turn off the soccer games on Adam Silver’s T.V.! The NBA and commissioner Adam Silver are going full force on the In-Season Tournament as the NBA is set to implement a Champions League-style tournament smack dab in the middle of the season. I really can’t believe Adam Silver and the NBA league

The Lakers Offseason Moves Are Getting Overhyped By Media…AGAIN

Are the media heads really that much of bandwagoners they have to grovel over every Lakers signing? The Los Angeles Lakers have been getting a nauseating amount of praise in the media for their offseason moves, yet I just don’t see how they improved all that much. The Lakers coverage this offseason shows how biased

Damian Lillard Is RIGHT To Want Out Of Portland…But Not With His Demands

Beggers can’t be choosers when you’re asking to join a contender from a lottery team. Damian Lillard has FINALLY and RIGHTFULLY asked out of Portland after 11 years of playoff misery and lottery pick seasons, yet him demanding to just join the Heat is an insane demand to make. How can you reject all steak

NBA Free Agent Fever Was…More Like A Predictable, Mild Cold

Well, that was a very boring start to the free agent rush. The opening night of NBA Free Agent Fever really wasn’t worse than the mild cold as a bunch of players chose to resign with their current teams, ruining the whole “fever” aspect of the market. I know I really shouldn’t be complaining about

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,

Are The Clippers REALLY About To Break Up The Leonard-George Pair?

It would make sense if it was true, but I’m not so sure. The LA Clippers have supposedly been hyping up the trade value of Paul George with teams across the league in hopes of making a deal to break up the George-Leonard duo. If we know anything about the Clippers, it’s that they’ll make

Draymond Green DECLINES Warriors Player Option, Now A Free Agent

This really wasn’t unexpected. Draymond Green has DECLINED his $27.5M player option from the Golden State Warriors to enter the unrestricted free agent market for the first time in his career. I don’t think this is really the bombshell contract development that it is appears to be. After 11 years with the Golden State Warriors,

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

Ja Morant Got Off Easy…

I’m sorry to say it, but Adam Silver and the league office is soft. Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies have dodged a massive bullet as the Grizzlies guard is only going to be suspend for 25 games of the 2023/24 season for violating the NBA’s personal conduct policies. This situation is only going to

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 Suns Are RELEASING CHRIS PAUL?!?!?!

Has the desert gone dry of logic and reason too? The Phoenix Suns are reportedly making one of the dumbest decisions I’ve ever seen as they are RELEASING Chris Paul for ABSOUTLEY NOTHING, despite the market of teams looking for a PG being quite strong. This may very well be the decision that dooms this

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

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

Warriors GM Bob Myers Has Officially Walked Away…

Another piece of the Warriors greatness is fading away. The Warriors have now seen another piece of their famed dynasty walk away as GM Bob Myers, who has helped lead the team to the last 4 NBA titles, has officially resigned from his post. This guy is truly one of the best GMs the league

The Nuggets FINALLY Reach NBA Finals, Complete Sweep Of Lakers

At long last, Denver shall have a chance of winning the title. The Denver Nuggets ended 47 years of anguish and misery for their loyal fans as they completed the sweep of the LA Lakers and won their first Western Conference championship, sending them to their first NBA Finals. What a way to reach your

The Nuggets WIN GAME 3 OVER LAKERS TO TAKE 3-0 LEAD!

This series is all but wrapped up now. The Denver Nuggets are now just a win away from being in the NBA Finals as they thumped the Lakers 119-108 to go up 3-0 in the series, all but ending any hope of an LA comeback. Not even the greatness of LeBron James and Anthony Davis

Nuggets Take Series STRANGLEHOLD With GM 2 Win!

This series isn’t over yet, right? The Denver Nuggets have eked out a crucial 108-103 Game 2 victory as they exploded in the 4th quarter to take a 2-0 series lead, setting up two decisive games to be played in Los Angeles. This feels like a really pivotal moment in the series. Led by Jamal

Ja Morant Is An Idiot…

How dumb is this guy? Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant has been indefinitely suspended by the team and his Nike shoe line has been pulled from all company advertising as he was seen recklessly flashing a gun again. Some people really do need everything taken away from them to see their error of their ways.

The Nuggets Survive Lakers Comeback Scare, Take Game 1 Of CF

What a crazy game this was. The Denver Nuggets somehow almost lost a shootout against the Lakers despite being up by over 20 points by halftime, but still managed to eke out a 136-129 victory to go up 1-0 in the Western Conference Finals. This game should never have been this close. The Denver Nuggets

THE LAKERS HAVE TAKEN DOWN THE GOLDEN STATE DYNASTY, Win Series 4-2

Of all the teams to break the dynasty, I guess it had to be them. The Los Angeles Lakers have ended the Warriors incredible dynasty as the blew out GS 122-101 in Game 6 to win the series 4-2 and reach the Western Conference Finals. That’s how you take down the most prolific dynasty the

Suns Get PATHETICALLY RAGDOLLED By Nuggets IN GM 6, Denver Moves On To WCF

This Suns team is utterly atrocious and cowardly. The Phoenix Suns got absolutely rocked by 25+ points for the second consecutive season in an elimination game as the Denver Nuggets won Game 6 125-100, sending them to their second Western Conference Finals in the last four years. There’s at most 2-3 guys who should survive

The Lakers GO UP 3-1 Over Warriors From A Lonnie Walker IV TAKEOVER GAME!

What a performance from Lonnie Walker IV! The Los Angeles Lakers are just one more win away from the team’s 42nd West Conference Final as they beat the Warriors 104-101 on the back of a Lonnie Walker IV takeover game. Is the Warriors dynasty really about to get put down by a bench warmer that

The Lakers-Warriors Series Is So STRANGE

This is hands down the weirdest series of the NBA playoffs yet. The Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors have had the weirdest playoff series yet as both teams, despite being evenly matched, have blown each other out in back-to-back games. Are these two teams just going to trade blowouts for the rest

Warriors CARRIED By Steph Curry’s Greatness, Win GM. 7 Vs. Kings To Advance

That’s how you show you’re still the best PG in the game. Steph Curry once again proved his all-time greatness as he led his beloved Warriors to a crushing 120-100 Game 7 victory over the upcoming Sacramento Kings, setting up a Second Round matchup against LeBron James’ LA Lakers. Is there a more clutch player

The Lakers DESTROY The Grizzlies 125-85 In GM. 6, Clinch Spot In The Next Round

That was a beating of the highest order. The Los Angeles Lakers have won their first playoff series in two years in empathic fashion as they humbled the Grizzlies 125-85 to win the series 4-2. Well, there goes the hope of having another Game 7 in the First Round. The Lakers utterly, wholeheartedly, and empathically

NBA Playoffs: Timberwolves & Clippers Both Get Eliminated In 5…

This really was to be expected. The NBA playoffs just had two more victims as the Los Angeles Clippers and the Minnesota Timberwolves fell 4-1 to their, respective, opponents, yet their exits come under totally different circumstances. It’s funny how two teams with totally different circumstances and mindset entering the playoffs can end up with

The Clippers MUST MOVE ON From Kawhi Leonard, Now Down 3-1 To Suns

I hate to say this of an NBA legend, but he’s honestly stealing a living. The LA Clippers now find themselves down 3-1 to the Phoenix Suns as Kawhi Leonard, who was instrumental in the opening two games, has cost LA by sitting out the last two games. I don’t even know what to say

How Did The Ja-Less Grizzlies Beat The Lakers 103-93 To Tie The Series?

Uh, didn’t the Lakers know the Grizzlies were missing three starters? The Ja-less Memphis Grizzlies somehow were able to beat a fully loaded Lakers team 103-93 to tie the series 1-1 and give them hope of making an unlikely comeback. I don’t even know how this result happened. In what has to be the most

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

Lakers Fend Off Timberwolves To Secure 7th Seed…BARELY

Lakers fans should be happy they’re in the playoffs again, but that wasn’t a great performance. The Los Angeles Lakers have booked a place back into the playoffs as they barely managed beat a disjointed Minnesota Timberwolves 108-102 in overtime. I get if LA fans are rejoicing right now about making the playoffs after last

The Timberwolves Are A Mess…

This franchise really has never gotten off the ground running. The Minnesota Timberwolves will be without defensive stalwarts Rudy Golbert and Jaden Mcdaniels in their Play-In matchup against the Lakers as the former is suspended and the later fractured his own hand. When you think of the expression “shoot yourself in the foot”, the first

The Mavericks Are WISELY Giving Up…

I know this isn’t fun for the fans, but it’s the best decision for the franchise. The Dallas Mavericks have officially given up on the season as they have rested 5 important players, including Kyrie Irving, in tonight’s must win game vs. the Bulls. Like I said, there’s nothing more annoying for fans than to

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

The Sacramento Kings Are FINALLY BACK In The Playoffs!

It’s about time, Sacramento! The Sacramento Kings have at long last broken their 16-year playoff curse as they smashed the Trail Blazers 120-80 to clinch a postseason spot and help them near a Pacific Division title. What a slog the last 16 years have been for the Sacramento Kings. Setting a modern NBA record for

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.

Lakers Getting LeBron James Back Now Is A Godsend!

There wasn’t a better time The King could have returned. With the Lakers managing to secure a Play-In spot over the last 14 games, LeBron James’ return gives them all the momentum needed to make a run for the Top-6 West seedings. The West playoff race really couldn’t have worked out better for the Lakers

Yeah, The Mavericks Are Going To Miss The Playoffs…

I’m actually really surprised this team has collapsed so quickly. The Dallas Mavericks have completely collapsed since the trade deadline as they now sit in 11th place in the West, leaving them stranded of the even the Play-In round. For a team that has two of the Top-10 best guards in the game, it’s honestly

The Clippers Season Is Doomed In Light Of Paul George Injury…

This was always going to be the only thing that would take the Clippers down. The Los Angeles Clippers have been dealt a huge blow to their playoff chances as Paul George went down last night with a knee injury that’ll keep him out for at least the next two weeks. This Clippers team lacks

Pelicans HAVE TO MOVE ON From Zion Williamson…Sadly

I hate having to write this article, but it’s the truth. With Zion Williamson all but certainly going to miss yet another season due to injury, the Pelicans really need to seriously consider moving on from the former #1 overall pick. Like I said, I hate that I have to write this article, but it’s

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

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.

Ja Morant Is Heading Down An Extremely Dangerous Path…

Morant has to grow up right now or else his NBA career is in jeopardy. Ja Morant has been suspended by the Memphis Grizzlies for at least the next two games after he posed with a handgun in a social media video, just a few days after he was also accused of intimidating a teenager

Is Nikola Jokic A Stat Padder And Unworthy Of The MVP? (Wikimedia Creative Common License/Author: All-Pro Reels) (All-Pro Reels, CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons)

Is Nikola Jokic A Stat Padder And Unworthy Of The MVP?

Even though I love me some Kendrick Perkins, he’s so wrong about this. The NBA MVP frontrunner, Nikola Jokic, is getting a lot of silly and downright dumb criticisms from some former NBA players as they say he’s unworthy of the award because he’s a “stat padder”. To answer the questions in the title: No

Clippers Vs. Kings: The 2nd HIGHEST SCORING GAME In NBA History!

What an introduction to the new “Big 3” era in Los Angeles. In the first game with the Clippers new “Big 3” all playing, Los Angles and Sacramento played to a thrilling 176-175 double OT victory in favor of the Kings. This will probably be one of the Top-10 games of the year when all

Pelicans Have A Huge Zion Williamson Problem…

How much longer can they justify keeping around a player that only plays a third of an NBA season? Zion Williamson has been ruled out for multiple more weeks after aggravating the hamstring injury he sustained in early January, which has caused the Pelicans to plumet down the West standings. Remember when the Pelicans were

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

Lakers Make NECESSARY Russell Westbrook Trade In 3-Team Deal

The end of the Westbrook era in Los Angeles has finally come. The Los Angeles Lakers have finally woken up and shipped out Russell Westbrook as they traded him to the Utah Jazz in a 3-team trade with the Timberwolves that saw D’Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley, and others moved around. This trade deadline day has

LeBron James Officially BROKE The NBA Scoring Record, Cementing His Historic Legacy

There has never been a more dominate offensive talent in the history of league. LeBron James has officially broken the great Kareem Abdul Jabbar’s 40-year scoring record with his 38-point performance last night against the Thunder, cementing his legacy as the best offensive player in NBA history. I really mean it when I say that

Will The Warriors Survive Newest Steph Curry Injury?

I thought the last Curry injury would have sunk them, but they barley hung on. The Golden State Warriors are going to have to come together and play their best basketball of the season as Steph Curry’s new knee injury will leave him out indefinitely. This was the worst news the Warriors could possibly have

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

Will The Nuggets Finally Win The West And Make Headway In Playoffs?

Will this be the year Denver finally gets over the line? With the West being wide open this season, it seems like this will be the Denver Nuggets best chance of winning the conference and making it to the team’s first Finals appearance. There has been a big question ever since the Nuggets uber-talented Serbian

LeBron James Joins The 38,000 Point Club (Wikipedia Creative Commons License/Author: All-Pro Reels) (All-Pro Reels, CC BY-SA 2.0 , via Wikimedia Commons)

LeBron James Joins The 38,000 Point Club

The King has taken the next step to becoming the Points King of the NBA. In a fantastic 35-point night that saw his Lakers narrowly fall the 76ers 113-112, LeBron James became only the second person ever in NBA history to break over 38,000 career points. It’s honestly incredible how LeBron James is this good

Massive Blow For The Pelicans: Zion Williamson Is Out For AT LEAST 3 Weeks

This was exactly what New Orleans was fearing would happen ever since Zion’s return. It was only a matter of time before Zion Williamson’s unfortunately injury-prone body would give out from the labors of an NBA season as the former #1 overall pick is now out for 3 weeks with a hamstring injury, severely damaging

The Phoenix Suns Have Official Been Sold For $4B To Billionaire Mat Ishbia!

There’s a new era brewing in Phoenix. The Robert Sarver era with the Phoenix Suns is officially over as billionaire mortgage lender and member of the 2000 Michigan State national championship team Mat Ishbia has purchased the franchise for $4B! First, let me just gawk at that price! 4 billion US dollars for the Phoenix

The Warriors Are Screwed With Steph Curry’s Injury

This was one of the most devastating losses any team in the NBA today could endure. The Golden State Warriors are going to be without their legendary point guard and pretty much their entire offense, Steph Curry, for weeks after his shoulder injury. Like I said in the intro, there’s very few players who are

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

The Pelicans Are The Team To Beat In The West, Thrash Suns 128-117

That’s how you put in a championship-like performance, Phoenix. The New Orleans Pelicans utterly thrashed the Phoenix Suns in humiliating fashion, winning the game 128-117 to get revenge for their 1st round exit in last year’s playoffs. If the Phoenix Suns wanted a lesson in how to put in a championship-worthy performance, they just got

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

Are The Lakers ACTUALLY Fixing Their Season?!?

Wow, I really didn’t expect this from the Lakers. The Los Angeles Lakers are slowly but surely clawing back into the West playoff picture as they are now just three games out of Play-In Round with their win over Portland. The Lakers might be in the midst of pulling off one of the most improbably

The Mavericks Are Going To MISS THE PLAYOFFS If They Don’t Change…

This team has taken the phrase ‘let the superstar fix it’ to a whole new level. The Dallas Mavericks are currently in the midst of a 4-game losing streak as their overreliance on Luka Doncic has really exposed them to the league’s best teams. There’s no easy way to say this: the Dallas Mavericks are

Zach Collins Didn’t Deserve To Get Ejected For Westbrook Foul

It was just an accident after all. Zach Collins was ejected from the Spurs vs. Lakers game after his Flagrant 2 foul on Russell Westbrook that caused the Lakers PG to go down with a bad head injury, but I think his ejection was a little uncalled for. I honestly believe that the whole situation

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

Devin Booker Is Right. Patrick Beverley SHOULD Stop Pushing Guys In The Back…

Devin Booker is 100% right. With the Lakers losing their 11th game on the season against the Phoenix Suns, Patrick Beverley and his classic shove-from-behind move came out to play as he nailed an unsuspected Deandre Ayton during a late-game scrum. First off, let me just preface this by saying that I’m a fan of Patrick

Are The Sacramento Kings Actually Playoff Challengers?

I can’t believe I’m even putting this into words. After sixteen years, the Sacramento Kings actually look poised to make a serious run for the playoffs in the wake of their utter trouncing of the Brooklyn Nets 153-121 last night. SIXTEEN YEARS! It’s been sixteen years, and the Sacramento Kings have just now gotten their

How Do The Utah Jazz Have The BEST RECORD In The West?!?

How is this even possible? The Utah Jazz have shocked everyone as not only have they not sucked, but they have also done one better by going 9-3 in the first 12 games of the season to have the best record in the West. This shouldn’t be possible. Under new CEO, Celtics legend Danny Ainge,

The Lakers Have FINALLY Won

It’s about time, LA! The Los Angeles Lakers have finally won their first game of the season as they avenged their earlier loss last week to the Denver Nuggets and won 121-110. Man, I’m sure a lot of Lakers fans breathed a huge sigh of relief when the final buzzer sounded, and LA sealed their

The Lakers Need To Tear Everything Down

And this is why you don’t allow a superstar player dictate player personnel. The Los Angeles Lakers have started 0-4 for only the fourth time in their storied history, which all but cements the fact that this team needs to be torn down and rebuilt. This Lakers team’s expiration date has been up for two

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 Russell Westbrook Really A Backup Now?

Has Russell Westbrook fallen that out of favor? Supposedly, new Lakers head coach Darvin Ham is planning on using Russell Westbrook to quarterback the second team for this upcoming season, all but making him a backup. I thought that Russell Westbrook had buddied up with Darvin Ham enough to keep his starting spot. Are you

Wow, Draymond Green Really Clocked Jordan Poole, Huh?

I guess you don’t mess with Draymond Green and get away with it.  A new video leaked to TMZ today showed the utter rocket of a right fist Draymond Green laid on his Golden State Warriors teammate Jordan Poole a few days ago. What could have caused such an outburst from Draymond Green? To be

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

Robert Sarver Agrees To Sell The Suns…But Still Chastises His Critics

I don’t think Mr. Sarver here understands what accountability and redemption actually means. After days of constant outcries for Robert Sarver to sell the Phoenix Suns, the maligned owner has finally agreed to do so but not before chastising those who have criticized him. First off, let me just say that this was necessary for

Everyone Wants Sarver Out Of Phoenix

This could get really interesting if Sarver refuses to leave. Everyone with a notable voice in the NBA, even if they aren’t associated with the Phoenix Suns, have called for the resignation of Robert Sarver as the owner of the Phoenix Suns. Well, if Sarver thought that he was going to be able to get

Why Has Phoenix Suns Owner Robert Sarver ONLY Been Suspended For A Year?

The NBA has found another racist owner in its midst. Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver has been suspended for the entire 2022/23 NBA season and has been fined $10M as the investigation into him found he engaged in racist and sexist behaviors during his 20-year ownership. The NBA really does have a problem with these

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

Vanessa Bryant May Finally Find Peace With $16M Settlement

Vanessa Bryant more than deserves this settlement. Yesterday, a jury awarded Kobe Bryant’s widow, Vanessa Bryant, over $16M in a settlement against Los Angeles County because its firefighters and deputies shared gruesome photos of her husband and daughter’s, Gigi Bryant, deaths. I can’t believe it has taken over TWO YEARS for Vanessa Bryant to get

Patrick Beverley Is Heading Back To LA…But With The Lakers

Finally, the Lakers have done something right this offseason. In a semi-surprising move, the Lakers have acquired former LA Clippers guard Patrick Beverley from the self-destructing Utah Jazz. I didn’t think Rob Pelinka had the ability to make smart decisions in him anymore. The much-maligned Lakers GM has not only made a smart basketball acquisition
