I love the NBA Play-In Tournament. It requires teams bust their ass to lock up the top 6 seeds and avoid a single-game elimination while also incentivizing teams who would typically start tanking at the end of the season to try and make the play-in game and potentially sneak into the postseason. No organization is […]
This season, it feels like anyone can win the championship. Sure, the Nuggets and Celtics have a better chance compared to like, the Bulls or whatever but with no real favorite, a few organizations whose seasons end earlier than expected will look around the building for people to fire or trade. In the past, this […]
The Boston Celtics have a squad full of chokers. Like, generational chokers on the level of a Gianna Michaels/Carmella Bing tag team video. Sure, they have the best regular season record this year but they’ve done most of their damage against an Eastern Conference where 33% of the teams are tanking. Jayson Tatum is a […]
I’ll never know what it feels like to follow in your father’s footsteps when your father is the greatest to ever do the thing you are attempting to do. My dad worked for New York State and I’m sure he was good at his job but I wouldn’t say I felt a ton of pressure […]
Malachi Flynn scored 50 points last night, yo. 50 POINTS FOR @malachiflynn! Career night for the Pistons guard as he goes 17-25 off the bench 🤯 pic.twitter.com/V2dQeNyrfD — NBA (@NBA) April 4, 2024 Here’s what Flynn did in the Pistons 113-121 loss to the Hawks: 50 points 18-for-25 from the field (72%) 5-for-9 from 3 […]
I had a huuuuuge Friday night planned. Netflix dropped a brand new season of Is It Cake—the show where contestants bake cakes that look identical to real-life objects, in an attempt to trick celebrity(ish) judges into believing their cakes are real objects. Sometimes they bake a cake that looks like a tennis shoe. Sometimes they […]
Alex Rodriguez is one of the most simple athletes of all time. And I don’t mean simple like I believe he’s slow or incapable of understanding complicated concepts or anything like that but I call him simple because for so many years, people have described A-Rod as ‘complex’ while every step of the way, this […]
This week, the NBA began an investigation into Toronto Raptors backup big man, Jontay Porter, following peculiar rises in action on prop bets where people were suddenly rushing to bet the under for a guy who’s barely able to hang onto an NBA roster. Toronto Raptors center Jontay Porter is out of the lineup and […]
From 2018-2021. Ben Simmons was one of the best defenders in the NBA who would force guys into terrible shots, grab those rebounds, push the pace down the court, and use his natural court vision to find open shooters, racking up assists. Despite being a triple-double machine capable of guarding strong wings as well as […]
Thanks to the NBA installing a new rule this season, creating a strict 65-game minimum in order to qualify for end-of-season awards, Cleveland Cavaliers star, Donovan Mitchell no longer has the opportunity to make an All-NBA team. Here is the list of top guys, like Donovan, who also won’t be able to take home a […]
In 2020, the Detroit Pistons hired Troy Weaver as their GM. Since then, the Pistons have a 70-229 record, the worst record among any NBA team during these 4 years. This season, Detroit suffered a 28-game losing streak, a new NBA record. It’s not a hot take to declare Troy Weaver sucks at his job. […]
The Houston Rockets were attempting to make a late-season push for the 10th seed and a chance to sneak into the playoffs through the play-in game. Those dreams may have come to an end on Sunday after losing their star center, Alperen Sengun, in a brutal accident leaving his leg in shambles. Prayers up to […]
We’re at the last leg of the 2023=24 NBA season. Teams are playing for real now. No one’s breaking scoring records anymore. Every night is warfare. I love this point in the season where the NFL is over and the NBA televises games all weekend long. You learn everything you need to know about these […]
I’ve reached an age where I am quickly realizing I am no longer a young man. My hangovers last an extra 24 hours. I refuse to get a haircut in fear it will never grow back. If I yawn too hard, I may need an ambulance. Which is why I was hyped as hell to […]
The New York Knicks are currently 35-25 and desperately holding onto the 4th seed in the East despite their entire roster struggling to stay on the court. But as they limp to the playoffs, impatiently waiting for everyone’s injuries to heal, they add Shake Milton to the squad for some guard depth. ESPN Sources: Shake […]
Sometimes, an NBA team will take a big swing and try to pair up stars in hopes their talent will win out in the end only to find out chemistry and compatibility and personality all matter. There are plenty of NBA duos who have come together recently and worked out like the Kings bringing in […]
