We did it. It’s finally over. The New York Knicks drove the Sixers to the airport to start their summer vacations. On Thursday night, New York won 118-115 in a brutal Game 6 where the Knicks were up 20 in the 1st quarter and ended up going down and somehow, went into halftime down 3. […]
The Dallas Mavericks are up 3-2 on the Clippers after a Game 5 beatdown. Dallas beat LA by 30 in the Clippers building thanks mainly to another Luka Doncic master class and no-call no-shows from the James Harden Paul George camp. Harden scored 7 points on 16% shooting. Paul George scored 15 points on 30% […]
The Knicks lost 106-112 in overtime to the Philadelphia 76ers. What do you want me to say here? New York was up 6 points with 28.2 seconds left. They lost by 6. I’m disgusted. I barely slept last night. But let’s talk about what happened Tuesday night. 1. Tyrese Maxey wants to keep playing […]
I’ve done these live articles for New York Giants games in the past. The NFL has way more stoppage time and breaks to gather thoughts than an NBA game but this Knicks Sixers series is the most important playoff series of my life. This is the first Knicks team I truly believe can win a […]
In the early days of the 2019-2020 NBA season, Russell Westbrook and his Houston Rockets beat the Los Angeles Clippers 102-93. James Harden dropped 47 points and Russ immediately took this as an opportunity to mock his defender, Patrick Beverley. “Pat Bev trick y’all man. … He just running around, doing nothing” Russell Westbrook and […]
On Thursday night, the Sixers beat the Knicks 125-114 to save their season. The Sixers are down 1-2 in the series. Going down 3-0 would’ve been a death sentence. Jobs would’ve been lost. Players families would be uprooted and sent to new cities. Here’s what Joel Embiid did to rescue his squad from national embarrassment: […]
We made it through a longggg season. Remember the In-Season Tournament?? It feels like that happened right after The Bubble. It’s time to honor the best and brightest and weirdest and worst. Most of these are random awards I made up after leaving the marijuana distributor and sampling too much. Here are the Deadseriousness 2023-24 […]
The Knicks Sixers Game 1 was everything it was supposed to be. Both teams defensively smothered the other and both teams struggled offensively. It was a back-and-forth battle but my beloved New York Knicks took home the 111-104 victory to go up 1-0. Game 1 is a great indicator of how a series will play […]
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 […]
