Steve Novak was an absolute sharpshooter for the New York Knicks. He led the league in 3-point percentage back in 2012. He stood in the corner watching Carmelo Anthony jab step for 20 seconds all while patiently waiting for a pass in the corner that he’d sink at the end of the shot clock. He’s […]
The Milwaukee Bucks have officially won the 2021 NBA Finals after coming back from behind 0-2 to a dominant Phoenix Suns squad. Giannis is the new king of the NBA while the former king is on a press tour for his Looney Tunes movie. But with every big event like this, there are winners and […]
On Tuesday night, the Milwaukee Bucks won their first NBA title since 1971 thanks to a 50 burger from Giannis where he carried the team on his back through their awful shooting performances. The most glaring of the shitty shooting performances came from the extremely cold hands of Jrue Holiday who went 4-for-19 from the […]
Not only are there rumors that the Knicks and Cavaliers are in trade talks to send Collin Sexton to New York but the talks have advanced so far that there are details to the potential deal in place. A package that would include Obi Toppin, Kevin Knox, and one of New York’s 2021 first rounders […]
On Saturday night, Team USA and Nigeria had a friendly pre-Olympic exhibition match. It didn’t go well for USA as Nigeria defeated them in a 90-87 upset that no one expected. Here is the most embarrassing moment of the night. And not embarrassing for America in any way. We embarrass ourselves in many other ways. […]
In a recent interview with Bleacher Report, Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma declared that he has what it takes to become an All-Star in this league: “I definitely can. I definitely believe that, too. I don’t really care what nobody thinks or says. I know myself, and I know my ability. It’s hard to be consistent […]
Scottie Pippen is currently on a drunk bender that landed him a guest spot on the Dan Patrick Show where he decided to randomly declare that Phil Jackson is racist for some reason. DP: “.. By saying it was a racial move then you’re calling Phil Jackson a racist…” Pippen: “I don’t have a problem […]
Reading the tea leaves, it appears Jason Kidd will be the next head coach of the Dallas Mavericks following the departure of Rick Carlisle. With zero context, this is a beautiful homecoming for one the best point guards in NBA history to the organization that drafted him and where he won his championship years later […]
Jahlil Okafor has been considered a bust after being selected no. 3 overall in 2015 by the Philadelphia 76ers. He was the no. 1 ranked high school player heading into a dominant freshman season at Duke—averaging 17 points and 8 rebounds on 66% shooting from the field. Unfortunately, he was drafted into a Sixers franchise […]
Ben Simmons can no longer play for the Philadelphia 76ers. He isn’t the sole reason for Philly’s early playoff exit but he also had the lowest free throw percentage in postseason history—vanishing in 4th quarters as if terrified to make a mistake to cost his team the win—thus, costing his team the win. A trade […]
Earlier this week, the Boston Celtics hired Ime Udoka as their new head coach to replace Brad Stevens—who was fired but somehow also earned a promotion to run the team so he hired his replacement(?). I don’t know. Jay Williams, ESPN NBA analyst, had to comment on the hire as it is his job to […]
I’ve spent so much time defending Ben Simmons against lazy and reductive takes about his inability to shoot from the perimeter and blah blah but after the Sixers just blew a 26-point lead at home to the Atlanta Hawks to go down 3-2 in their series. This historic collapse isn’t entirely on the shoulders of […]
Stan Van Gundy has been fired from the New Orleans Pelicans after only one season as head coach after a very disappointing season. They finished 31-41 in 2021. That’s a one win improvement from 2020. You don’t hire a new head coach for a one game improvement. This is in no way an article defending […]
In 2015, Russell Westbrook had a breakout season in Oklahoma City averaging 28 points a night while Kevin Durant missed a majority of the year with a foot injury. Unfortunately, the Thunder missed the playoffs and fired head coach, Scott Brooks, after the season. This season, Russell Westbrook was traded to the Washington Wizards to […]
On Tuesday night, the Brooklyn Nets beat the Milwaukee Bucks 114-108 to go up 3-2 in their series. Milwaukee was supposed to win this game. Kyrie Irving is in crutches. James Harden is limping around with a sore hamstring. But they didn’t account for the gawd, Jeff Green. JEFF GREEN HAS 24 POINTS ON 6-6 […]
For the second year in a row, the Dallas Mavericks season is ended by the Los Angeles Clippers but this season felt different. Last year, the Clippers were title favorites and the postseason occurred in a bubble that no one had ever experienced before. This year, the Clippers were vulnerable and Luka Doncic looked like […]
