It’s difficult to call the Charlotte Hornets 2021-22 NBA season a disappointment. Sure, they finished as the 10th seed again but they won 10 more games than they did last year. Unfortunately, they still fired their head coach and there are rumors they are about to interview Mike D’Antoni. Amazing. Mike D’Antoni is one of […]
The playoffs are the best time to make wildly irrational takes based on quite literally the tiniest sample size ever solely because the games ‘matter more’ or whatever. Stephen A. Smith gets to yell even harder at Kyrie Irving for costing the Brooklyn Nets a chance at the title even though it had more to […]
If you’ve watched any of the Minnesota Timberwolves home playoff games you’ve noticed a couple of trends: 1. Karl-Anthony Towns is a crybaby who commits the worst fouls in NBA history and then complains to the referees as if he is pleading to avoid an arrest and 2. protesters keep trying to glue themselves to […]
Winning Time is an HBO series about the rise of the ‘Showtime Lakers’ in the 80’s. Dr. Buss purchases the team, drafts Magic Johnson and the rest is history. Many people agree this era of basketball saved the NBA. Definitely a story worth telling. Winning time is a decent show or whatever. Not my favorite […]
The Atlanta Hawks are out getting ragdolled by the Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs. They took one game on a last-second shot by Trae Young but outside of that narrow victory, they appear to be a college team being dominated by a group of grown-ass men. But there is a secret […]
The Phoenix Suns and the New Orleans Pelicans are tied 2-2 after the New Orleans Pelicans embarrassed the Suns 118-103 to win Game 4 and tie the series. Phoenix was far and away the best team in the regular season and should not be losing games to a team full of NBA 2K computer-generated players […]
The Brooklyn Nets are about to get swept out of the first round of the playoffs by the Boston Celtics and all eyes are on Ben Simmons making some triumphant return in a Game 4 of an elimination game having not played professional basketball since last April when he broke the record for the WORST […]
Joel Embiid just won the scoring title. He’s most likely going to be the runner-up for the 2022 MVP award. He has solidified himself as one of the best big men in NBA history. But unfortunately, he plays for the Philadelphia 76ers which means he’ll never win a championship. The Sixers will face the Toronto […]
The NBA is a league where a team can dramatically change the trajectory of their organization with one single trade yet so many teams are afraid to swing for the fences or admit when their previous swings for the fences have failed. You can keep treading water OR..you can blow. it. up. Here are 5 […]
The Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA Title 18 months ago. They are now struggling to make the 10th seed and it is now being reported the team will be firing head coach, Frank Vogel, when this terrible season finally ends. The Lakers—a team with LeBron fucking James on the roster—is ranked 23rd in offensive […]
It’s extremely lame signing onto Twitter dot com and pretending to be a body language expert capable of dissecting every player’s movements and determining what is going on in their mind. But I can’t see these clips of Julius Randle behaving like a toddler and ignore his nonsense. Here is Randle Sunday night against the Utah […]
When an NBA player struggles and turns into the butt of every Twitter joke, there hits an inevitable tipping point when it is no longer funny. That accelerates when the player being clowned has to speak out and discuss how the jokes are affecting his family. Here’s Russell Westbrook passionately explaining how much the nickname […]
At the end of February, Denver made one of the most underrated moves of the 2021-22 NBA Season: they signed Boogie Cousins for the remainder of the season. Fast forward a few weeks and let’s see what he did to the Houston Rockets: 31 points 24 minutes 10-for-14 shooting 3-for-4 from 3 9 rebounds 4 […]
Alec Burks has become the butt of Knicks fans’ jokes recently as he’s been tasked with being the starting point guard following the exile of Kemba Walker and Derrick Rose’s ankles evaporating. The Knicks have been on a downward spiral and Burks running the offense is directly related to that downfall. Let’s look at the […]
NFT’s are a scam. Let’s start with this basic fact before we go any further. If you purchase a .jpg that can easily be copied and pasted onto my phone then you do not own what you just purchased. You gave your money to someone who tricked you. Now onto De’Aaron Fox. The Story Of […]
Last season, Elfrid Payton was the worst starting point guard in the NBA. The Knicks played 4-on-5 every night because Coach Thibs refused to bench his 43% shooting and 28% from 3. So it made all the season in the world for us all to be excited about the Knicks stealing Kemba Walker prior to […]
