Welcome to the Deadseriousness Audit where we break down the season that was and preview the season to come. The Dallas Mavericks finished 38-44 and the 11th seed in a weak ass Western Conference after trading Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a 2029 first-round pick, and second-round picks in 2027 and 2029 for Kyrie Irving. […]
On Tuesday night, the Knicks lost 90-107 in Game 2 and now the series is tied 1-1 going back to New York. It’s shocking to see the Knicks manage to even reach 90 points after the Cavs put that team in handcuffs all game long. 1. Fuck Jarrett Allen With just over 2 minutes […]
Whenever people talk about this Golden State Warriors run, there is always a mention of how many Hall of Famers they have. When referring to Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, people will say all 3 players belong in the HoF but we really need to stop all pretending as if Green is some […]
The 2022-23 NBA season has concluded which means it’s time to hand out awards. Let’s not overthink this whole thing and try to stand out by making ludicrous selections so that we stand out and look like geniuses and get clicks and this whole intro is definitely a shot a very specific sports media personalities. […]
Before this season started, I stated that Quentin Grimes would have a better career than Donovan Mitchell. They called me a mad man for believing it wasn’t worth giving up all of the Knicks young players for a guy who scores a bunch but doesn’t really do much outside of that. Fast forward to the […]
The NBA and the NBA player’s association came to a new 6-year collective bargaining agreement to avoid a lockdown and keep the league going without any real contention. This is massive news and let’s quickly run through the big rule changes. Deal includes In-Season Tournament, 65-game minimum for postseason awards, new limitations on highest spending […]
There comes a time in every organization’s lifespan when it’s time to simply blow it up. Teams that believed they had a chance to succeed only to realize their roster was flawed or teams that are too stubborn to completely restart from scratch. Blowing it up is your best chance at bringing in some draft […]
On Wednesday night, the Knicks had one of the biggest wins of the season with a 101-92 victory over a Miami Heat team that is desperately attempting to get their shit together before the playoffs start. Unfortunately, Julius Randle didn’t make it through the second quarter after suffering an ankle injury. Julius Randle goes down […]
The 2023 NBA MVP debate was obliterated when JJ Redick and Kendrick Perkins fought on First Take over the idea of racial bias skewing the voters’ decision-making. Now, every thought surrounding Joel Embiid or Nikola Jokic begins with people dissecting some intangible, unmeasurable vibe instead of talking about what is actually occurring on the basketball […]
All my life, I have been waterboarded with Los Angeles Lakers propaganda. I’m constantly told Kobe Bryant is one of the top 5 greatest basketball players ever despite never being the best basketball player in the NBA when he played. As I write this, the Lakers are currently 9th in the West thanks in large […]
ESPN’s First Take is a show that exists exclusively to generate clicks online and to create narratives that the network can then further discuss for the next 24 hours until the next episode of First Take. Participants on the show are encouraged to argue the most mundane bullshit with zero nuance. The more outlandish you […]
The NBA Power Rankings are BACK (Because I remembered to do them this week). We have about 20 games left in the season which is so weird since the All-Star game just happened. Remember when the All-Star game used to be like, in the middle of the season? Anyway, here are this week’s NBA […]
The 2023 NBA All-Star Weekend was blah all around so I don’t want to spend too much time even talking about it. But I can’t act like it didn’t happen so here’s some content almost exclusively for SEO purposes. Usually, I try to make these winners and losers lists a little longer but again, I’m […]
2023 All-Star Weekend is upon us. The best basketball players on planet Earth face off in an All-Star game. The best shooters compete in a 3-point contest. And 4 random guys no one’s heard of take turns performing dunks we’ve already seen before in front of a bored crowd of their peers and their peers’s […]
The 2023 NBA trade deadline was one of the most exciting weeks in the league’s history with a few of the greatest players ever being shipped around the country. Russell Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, Kevin Knox. All these future Hall-of-Famers are being traded right before our eyes. Wow. Here are the winners of the […]
I hate to write back-to-back pieces about the Los Angeles Lakers but as I was going through the team’s depth chart to see where D’Angelo Russell fits in, I noticed they don’t need to wait for Bronny to be drafted for a father and son to play together. Malik Beasley and Scottie Pippen Jr will […]
