One of my favorite aspects of the NBA is the league, and the players’, willingness to stand up for social causes. The Los Angeles Clippers considered forfeiting a playoff game just because they refused to play for then-owner and racist Oogie-Boogie, Donald Sterling. The NBA is on the forefront of social change. And it’s very […]
The New York Knicks are currently 26-23 and sitting at the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference. There is a clear separation between the top teams like Milwaukee, Boston and Brooklyn, and the middling teams like New York, Miami and Indiana. If the Knicks want to establish themselves as a real threat, they need to […]
Former Spur and current lunatic on the Atlanta Hawks, Dejounte Murray, went on Stephen Jackson’s podcast or TV show or whatever he’s doing on Showtime and told the story about his final days in San Antonio with the lovely Tony Parker. “That was the year I took the job from Tony [Parker]…I know he didn’t […]
Welcome back to Deadseriousness NBA Power Rankings—a weekly list of the best things happening in the NBA that I often forget to write about so it comes out like, every 12 days instead of weekly. 9. Boston Celtics I don’t want to write about the Boston Celtics but they have been the best team […]
If the NBA season were to end today, the Los Angeles Lakers would be watching the playoffs at the bar next to you as they are currently 3 games below .500 and are occupying the 12th seed in the Western Conference. On January 5th, teams are allowed to start handing out 10-day contracts and with […]
On Tuesday night, the New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers 119-113 at home thanks almost entirely to the grit and tenacity of their new star point guard, Jalen Bruson. Jalen Brunson could be on Broadway with this kind of footwork pic.twitter.com/vSn3ESkiBj — Mike Vorkunov (@MikeVorkunov) January 12, 2023 Here’s what Brunson was able to […]
The Los Angeles Clippers just had a huge 113-101 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night at the historic Crypto.com arena. A crucial W following a brutal 6-game losing streak where the NBA media gathered around to throw flowers on their grave. But when the Mavericks take the court, the Clippers see a pie […]
On Monday night, the New York Knicks lost a 107-111 heartbreaker to the Milwaukee Bucks. It was the Knicks chance to prove they belong in discussions about the best teams in the Eastern Conference and they took an L. But there was one play—and one player specifically—that set the tone for the Knicks. Let’s talk […]
Julius Randle is having an even better 2022-23 season than he did two years ago when he earned 2nd team All-NBA honors. He is far more efficient at scoring the ball and with Jalen Brunson playing next to him, he can focus totally on scoring instead of having to be the main scorer as well […]
Welcome to the Deadseriousness NBA Power Rankings where we rank the teams, players and coaches who are having the biggest impact on the season. If you want a boring article that just lists the teams in order based on their win-loss records, Bleacher Report is that way. Here are the official Deadseriousness NBA Power Rankings […]
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 […]
