On August 4th, the Boston Celtics signed Enes Kanter to a 1-year $2.7 million contract. Lucrative. It seemed like a favor from an old friend. Earlier that summer, head coach Brad Stevens stepped down and somehow immediately received a promotion into the front office. Stevens traded for Al Horford who he coached from 2016-19 and […]
Weeeeeee back with more random thoughts about the world of sports. I should probably bang these out as much as I can before the NBA season ends and I have to write about like, the Little League World Series or my own lackluster personal life. Here are 5 things I can’t stop thinking about this […]
According to everyone with a blue checkmark on Twitter, there is nothing more exciting than a Game 7. Your wedding day, the birth of your first child, losing your virginity. All meaningless compared tp a Game 7. The most recent NBA Game 7 was exciting for the Dallas Mavericks, who won by 33. Not so […]
This is a new column over here at Deadseriousness where I will randomly discuss some various sports topics that have been swishing around in my brain all week long. I am constantly thinking about everything all the time. Let’s turn it into some content. Here are 5 things I can’t stop thinking about this week: […]
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 […]
