While the Philadelphia Eagles were running it up the middle for zero yards over and over again, the Knicks flew into Portland to face the Trailblazers. The Knicks, losers of 5 of their last 6 games, suddenly in a dog collar match with the Jayson Tatum-less Boston Celtics, battling for second place in the East. […]

I had a blog in my drafts titled “Trade Everyone”, the Knicks 4-game losing streak had me ready to turn Deadseriousness into a hockey website. After getting blown out by the first-place Detroit Pistons on Monday night, nationally broadcast on Peacock, in front of all the hoes, I didn’t go into Tuesday night’s game against […]
It’s Sunday afternoon. Everything on my phone is on edge about America stealing the Venezuelan president. On my TV screen, the New York Giants are about to end their wasted 2025 season with a victory over a Cowboys team that wasted their 2025 season. Welcome to Hoop Diaries, let’s talk about the return of […]
If you are free of the daily news slop on your social media timelines, happy, I’m jealous. If you’re like me, deserving class action lawsuit settlement recipients, brains permanently surrendered to Orweillian algorithms, Doomsday clock approaching midnight, anxiety-inducing scrolls, you know about Bari Weiss. Bari Weiss is the newly hired Editor-In-Chief of CBS News, a […]
Last night, my beautiful baby boys took home the 2025 Emirate NBA Cup, winning the in-season tournament with a 124-113 victory over Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs. THE NEW YORK KNICKS HAVE WON THEIR FIRST TROPHY SINCE 1973 🏆 KAT, Brunson and the Knicks storm into Vegas and win the 2025 NBA Cup […]
Today, ESPN reporter and Russian Nesting Doll-bodied Brian Windhorst made an announcement: Giannis Antetokounmpo asked for a trade before the season. This week, folks recognized Giannis removed all Bucks content from social media, the universal indicator of a professional athlete’s unhappiness. The Milwaukee Bucks are 9-13. If the playoffs started today, they wouldn’t even qualify […]
Coming into Sunday’s matchup in Madison Square Garden, the Toronto Raptors were the no. 2 in the East following a 9-game winning streak but most of those wins were against the slim at the bottom of the Eastern Conference trash can. Wins over Brooklyn, Indiana, Washington, Philadelphia, Charlotte. Two of those wins against the Cavaliers, […]
Nico Harrison is gone. Local Dallas service workers can stop spitting in all his Uber orders. The Dallas Mavericks are 5-13— one of the worst teams in the NBA. With new execs coming in, looking to re-focus the roster around Cooper Flagg instead of Luka Doncic’s ghost. Anthony Davis never asked to play for the […]
In this week’s humiliation ritual, NBA sickos tasked with philosophizing the state of the NBA—injury reports full of stars only 15 games into the season—whose fault is this? Giannis Antetokounmpo; out, groin. Trae Young; out, knee. Anthony Davis; out, calf. Victor Wembanyama; out, calf. Anthony Edwards missed games. Jalen Brunson missed games. Cade Cunningham missed […]
In 2023, Joel Embiid won the MVP Award—appearing in only 66 games. The following season, the NBA implemented a new rule requiring players to participate in 65 regular-season games to be eligible for awards. A short-sighted rule change—expedited by NBA TV broadcast contracts up for renewal and a loud narrative claiming NBA stars miss too […]
I stopped doing game recaps last week because the views fell off a cliff—but eff it—someone asked me to bring them back and what is Deadseriousness if not a passion project that only myself and a handful of distinguished gentlemen and fair ladies sneak a little taste of on their phones when no one’s around—Russell […]

Cade Cunningham. Jalen Duran. Ausar Thompson. Jaden Ivey. Tobias Harris. Out. All out. The Detroit Pistons starting five were all nursing icing their wounds on Wednesday night with the Bulls bussing in from Chicago. Didn’t matter. 124-113 victory to win their 8th straight game, their flag at the top of the Eastern Conference remains uncaptured. […]
On a 5-game winning streak, playing in a back-to-back at the crib—the New York Knicks looked to end all the “East is wide open” chatter—thumping the Orlando Magic and marching to the 1 seed (although, the Pistons just beat the Bulls without Cade Cunningham or Jalen Duren so the plucky young heroes still remain at […]
The 8-2 Detroit Pistons hosting the 1-9 Washington Wizards on Peacock’s big Monday night primetime game. I liked Washington’s offseason acquisition of Cam Whitmore—but I’m not sure I’d lock them into the 3rd week of the NBA’s return to NBC. But Washington might be the greatest 1-win team of all time, pushing Detroit to overtime, […]
