In his 9th NBA season, at the age of 27 and playing for his 5th NBA franchise, Kelly Oubre Jr. is finally making a real impact on a basketball court. After years of just being another random guy in the league, Oubre and the Sixers were a perfect match. Until of course….the accident. What happened […]
I’ve been waiting for someone to put hands on Rudy Gobert for what feels like my entire life and now that it’s finally happened but I can’t even fully enjoy it because it was done by the most annoying human on Earth. Draymond Green took something special away from us on Tuesday night. About two […]
Prior to this season, Cam Reddish’s best basketball was played in 2017 in a high school gym. He went to Duke alongside RJ Barrett and Zion Williamson where he was so clearly the worst player of the three. Cam was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in 2019 and rode the bench for 2 and half […]
James Harden made his Los Angeles Clippers debut on Monday night against the Knicks. New York beat their ass 111-97. It was so bad, the Clippers waved the white flag emptying their bench with 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter. It would have been an even bigger blowout if the Knicks knew how to […]
Julius Randle can no longer play for the New York Knicks. Through 6 games, Randle is averaging 13.7 points on 27% shooting from the field, 22% from 3 and 61% from the free throw line all while simultaneously taking the most 3’s and free throws and the 2nd most shot attempts. Currently, he is the […]
We are only one week into the New York Knicks 2023-24 season which means it’s time to make sweeping accusations and wild overreactions based on a 5-game sample size. Personally, I think we’ve seen more than enough minutes to see what’s working and what’s not. The Knicks are 2-3 and just lost a nasty Wednesday […]
I imagine it’s very difficult to maintain your privacy when you’re a professional athlete dealing with an entire media apparatus dedicated to magnifying and exploiting drama for clicks and views. I imagine it’s even more difficult to maintain that privacy when you’re future NBA Hall of Famer, Dwight Howard, constantly DMing boys begging for bussy […]
The Boston Celtics have been one of my favorite teams since drafting Jayson Tatum in 2017. They are the incredible combination of being overly loved by the NBA media—to the point where it feels like 99% of the people covering basketball are from Massachusetts—and being wildly disappointing or even startled on any given night. It’s […]
Earlier this week, the New York Knicks and Immanuel Quickley could not agree on a contract extension meaning Quickley will become a restricted free agent when the 2023-24 NBA season is over. I have no real thoughts on the lack of an extension. I think the front office wants to keep him on a 1-year […]
Journalism used to be unbiased investigations into the truth but NBA journalism is all about cozying up to execs or players in order to be the first ones to tell us about a random G-Leaguer getting a 10-day contract or intentionally devaluing a player with ‘rumors’ of personal issues or whatever nonsense is needed to […]
For my entire life as a New York Knicks fan, this team has been trash. I was too young to have any real memories of Michael Jordan dog walking John Starks and them. My first real memory as an active, cognisant fan was the 2004-05 season when they traded for Jamal Crawford and put him […]
The NBA is a league driven by storylines and narratives so let’s talk about the Western Conference storylines we’ll be waterboarded with when the 2023-24 season starts. Here are the 18 biggest Western Conference Storylines heading into the year: 1. LeBron Year 21 LeBron James was drafted in 2003. Tracy McGrady led the league […]
Charlotte Hornets big man, Kai Jones, has spent his offseason being a straight-up weirdo online posting cringy videos and declaring himself as one of the best basketball players ever. After a strange, erratic summer of behaving like a homeless man shucking and jiving for pennies, the Hornets announced he would be away from the team […]
I don’t love doing Winners and Losers articles because so many sports sites vomit them out but then I remembered my shit’s better so here it is. Lillard goes Milwaukee as part of a 3-team deal with Jrue Holiday, Deandre Ayton, Toumani Camara, a 2029 unprotected MIL 1st, and unprotected MIL swap rights in 2028 […]
Kevin Porter Jr. has been a guard in the NBA for 4 years. Last season he averaged a career-high 19 points a game and helped lead the Houston Rockets to an incredible 22-60 record last year. He’s followed James Harden’s career trajectory of playing at USC, coming off the bench in his first season, being […]
Team USA lost 111-113 in the FIBA World Cup semifinals to Germany. The score looks close but they were down double digits most of the game thanks to Franz Wagner COOKING dudes. Dennis Schroder was stepping into 3’s like Kevin Durant. There was one play where Daniel Theis caught the ball at the 3-point line, […]
