Josh Giddey simply fell for the wrong girl. It’s happened to all of us. We meet a girl we like and our rose-colored glasses shield us from all the obvious red flags. For some, it’s clinginess or perhaps substance abuse. One time I fell for a girl who I’m still to this day, convinced could […]
If you’ve been reading Deadseriousness for a minute then you know I have strong feelings about Quentin Grimes. I believe he has the ideal skillset every NBA playoff team would want in their rotation but for some reason, the New York Knicks are reportedly shopping him around before the trade deadline. This story is coming […]
The NBA defines ‘Clutch Time’ as the final five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime when the score is within five points. On Thursday night, I watched my beloved New York Knicks travel to Dallas. They lost 124-128 and although the score looked close, the Mavericks were in complete control the entire game. And […]
Gilbert Arenas is one of the better NBA media personalities out there. You can tell all of his thoughts are consumed by basketball. He doesn’t sugarcoat his opinions and it genuinely seems like being a credible, respected basketball analyst is important to Gil. But lately, Gilbert Arenas has become what makes guys like Stephen A. […]
There are a handful of coaches who have tricked us into believing they are some of the best coaches in the NBA by winning championships or having deep playoff runs but this season is exposing a lot of truths. Before we point out the frauds, it’s important to talk about what separates the great coaches […]
I will never forget CBS Sports giving the New York Knicks a D+ for drafting Immanuel Quickley with the no. 25 pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Since then, he’s become a microwave scorer capable of putting up extraordinary numbers in limited minutes off the bench. He would’ve won the Sixth Man of the Year […]
The New York Knicks traded RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to Toronto for OG Anunoby. He made his debut on New Year’s Day and was vital in New York’s victory over the no. 1 seeded Minnesota Timberwolves. Here’s what OG did in his first day wearing a Knicks jersey: 35 minutes 17 points 7-for-12 from […]
For my entire lifetime as a New York Knicks fan, James Dolan has hired the worst front-office executives in NBA history. In 2005, Isiah Thomas gave up a first-round draft pick and a pick swap to the Chicago Bulls for Eddy Curry—an obese, undersized center with a heart condition. In 2010, the Knicks attempted to […]
From the moment Anthony Edwards did his first interview, it was clear he was built different. On the court, he has the raw athleticism of Michael Jordan and off the court, he has Michael Jordan’s aura and star power. This season, especially in that overtime win against the Celtics last month, Edwards has shown he […]
This is the most competitive Western Conference race of my NBA-watching life. The best team right now is the Minnesota Timberwolves and if they went on a 10-game losing streak would you be surprised at all? The 13-10 Houston Rockets currently sit at the 11th seed ahead of the Phoenix Suns. Everyone in that building […]
Everyone loses from time to time. Some of us lose more than others. Not me though. I’m a massive sore loser who will flip a table over if I even think you’re cheating at Scrabble. I’ve been physically removed from parties for knocking over beer-pong tables when I was losing. But the Detroit Pistons are […]
Draymond Green punched another player in the face again. I have nothing cute to say about it. Man just cannot stop beating the shit out of his opponents. This time it was Jusuf Nurkic on the receiving end of another Draymond beatdown. Draymond has been ejected after flagrant foul on Nurkić pic.twitter.com/RmrLU5tdw8 — Bleacher Report […]
I was excited about the NBA In-Season Tournament. I’m all in on finding ways to make games in November matter. The Lakers beat the Pacers 123-109. LeBron adds another bullet point to his resume while Indiana proved they aren’t some vague team of the future. They’re here now. Let’s start with the winners of […]
NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver, has always been strange to me. Like, he looks like he collects women’s clothing. What he does with them is his business but there’s something off about this man who looks like he speaks fluent Parseltongue. And then he went on the Pat McAfee show this week to hype up the […]
From the very first moment I saw Quentin Grimes getting minutes, I knew he was going to win this franchise a championship. I even went as far as declaring he’d have a better career than Donovan Mitchell two summers ago when the Knicks passed up on trading for one of the most overrated players in […]
Mark Cuban is selling the Dallas Mavericks for around $3.5 billion to the Adelson family. However, he’s maintaining a role as governor of the team in control of basketball operations. After 23 years of ownership, Cuban is finally giving the keys away and. As much as I love Deadseriousness, I will gladly sell this shit […]
