I know that headline is a little wordy but there’s something about corniness that turns me into the biggest hater on Earth. On Monday night, Donovan Mitchell scored a historic 71 points against the Chicago Bulls as the Cavs went on to win 145-134 in overtime. 71 PTS 8 REB 11 AST W Donovan Mitchell […]
On Monday night, the Pelicans lost 111-120 to the Philadelphia 76ers but the team suffered an even bigger loss late in the third quarter when Zion Williamson grabbed a rebound and went to push the ball up court but came up hobbling with an apparent leg injury. Pelicans announced that medical imaging taken earlier today […]
The Memphis Grizzlies are one of the best teams in the NBA. They have a 23-13 record and battling nightly with New Orleans and Denver for first place in the Western Conference due in large part to Ja Morant carrying this team on his back. Here’s what Ja is doing so far this season: 27.2 […]
On Wednesday night, the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic got into a benches clearing brawl. Moe Wagner shoved Killian Hayes into the Pistons bench and well, uh, let’s see what Killian Hayes did to Moe Wagner: This scene at the Magic-Pistons game 😳 Moe Wagner, Killian Hayes and Hamidou Diallo were all ejected after this […]
Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks are beefing. There was a report in The Athletic earlier this month detailing a major rift between Trae and head coach Nate McMillion and their massive ‘miscommunication’ that resulted in Trae straight-up no-call no-showing an NBA game. So let’s do what we do here at Deadseriousness: trade star players […]
The NBA media loves nothing more than being cute and trying to create narratives when they get bored. Nikola Jokic is the back-to-back reigning MVP having an even better season than he has in the past and every discussion about the best player in the league seems to exclude or ignore Jokic completely. On Sunday […]
There was a cute little story over the weekend about former NBA All-Star Amare Stoudamire graduating from Miami University. In the midst of my faux-excitement for Stoudamire’s least interesting achievement—later that night, Amare punched his teenage daughter in the face. According to a copy of the police report obtained by The Miami Herald, Stoudemire allegedly […]
Two years ago, the New York Knicks made the playoffs for the first time since 2013. They were immediately bounced in a gentleman’s sweep to the Atlanta Hawks. Trae Young embarrassed the team in Madison Square Garden and made Knicks fans feel like the losers we have been conditioned to be. This season, the Knicks […]
The New York Knicks are currently on a 6-game win streak, so it’s time for Deadseriousness to become insufferable. I will brag about this team like they’re the defending champions. Let’s start with much-deserved Quentin Grimes praise. Here’s what Grimes has done over the course of this Knicks win streak: 13.5 points per game 27-for-53 […]
No matter what you do for a living, going to work every single day can get boring and grueling. Sometimes you need to manufacture motivation just to get through your 9 to 5 and there’s no bigger motivation than hate. I’d have to imagine that’s true for NBA players as well. We’re approaching Christmas and […]
Zach LaVine is slowly beginning to trickle into daily trade rumors and it makes sense. He and Bulls head coach, Billy Donovan, don’t appear to be on the same page and the Bulls are currently 12th in the Eastern Conference hanging out with bum teams like the Hornets and Magic. Disclaimer: Not the Lakers. Rob […]

This is about to be a disgusting article. I’m literally about to sit here and praise Tom Thibodeau. The New York Giants are on a 2-game win streak holding the Cleveland Cavaliers and Atlanta Hawks to under 90 points which is unheard of in the modern NBA. Still, Tom Thibodeau, the defensive specialist has finally […]
On Tuesday night, the New York Knicks pummeled the Pistons in a 140-110 victory in Detroit. Julius Randle went crazy on his birthday dropping 36 points. Everyone gave their best efforts and contributed to a big victory that could potentially turn the Knicks season around. Well, everyone contributed except for RJ Barrett who went out […]
The Chicago Bulls currently sit at 9-11 so far this season and it appeared as though their championship window—which had just opened last season—had been pretty much shut until a strange Billy Donovan story was revealed this week. Sources: The Chicago Bulls signed head coach Billy Donovan to a contract extension after last season’s playoff […]
Indiana Pacers rookie, Bennedict Mathurin, had something exciting to say about LeBron James prior to being drafted this summer. Here’s what he told the Washington Post: “A lot of people say he’s great,” Mathurin said. “I want to see how great he is. I don’t think anybody is better than me. He’s going to have […]
