After back-to-back heartbreaking 2nd-round exits, the New York Knicks finally reached the Eastern Conference Finals—4 wins away from an NBA Finals berth with only the Indiana Pacers in their way. The New York Knicks could return to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999—but first, they have to survive one more round against […]

Welcome to Free Throws, Deadseriousness’s weekly NBA column, getting some shots up and tossing around some basketball takes. This week, we have a breakdown on why the Boston Celtics are down 0-2 in the second round, a whistleblower on the Draymond Green Agenda™ and some quick Tyrese Haliburton slander, as a treat. The […]
Last night, I hovered over my bed—replaying all of my favorite moments from the Knicks stealing Game 1 of their second-round series against the Boston Celtics—a team that annihilated them on the first night of this season—breaking the record for most 3’s in a single game. Garbage time started with 9 minutes left in that […]

Welcome to Lester’s Diaries, where I rant, ramble, yap and yuck about some sort of tournament or weekend-long event or whatever. Lets’ talk about the 2025 NBA Playoffs. Play-In Tournament NIGHT TWO Wednesday, April 16th 2025 7:30PM Eastern Miami Heat dogwalk the Chicago Bulls in a 109-90 road victory to advance in a win-or-go-home game […]
The 2025 NBA Play-In Tournament begins this week. After losing in OT to the Los Angeles Clippers in the final game of the season, the Golden State Warriors have to fight for their lives against a Memphis Grizzlies team, throwing grenades into the bleachers, having the time of their life playing without a coach. The […]
Game 82 is one of my favorite sports days of the year. All the teams play in the afternoon, around the same time. One-third of the league is battling for playoff seeding. One-third has one final opportunity to lose and increase their draft lottery odds. And one-third has their playoff seeding locked in so they’re […]
Project 2025 enacted. DEI is dead. The White Walkers have breached the Wall. Cooper Flagg is coming. 18 year old Cooper Flagg explosive athleticism pic.twitter.com/aPcw1vu5Qr — Pitless (@pitlessball) April 8, 2025 I finally understand why the White House is Eternal-Sunshining the country to forget Jackie Robinson’s existence—they’re changing all the textbooks to say Cooper Flagg […]
Ja Morant is lobbing grenades at civilians. On Thursday night, the Memphis Grizzlies were steamrolled by the Minnesota Timberwolves, 141-125. Memphis was outscored 52-25 in the third quarter as the Grizzlies stepped on every rake and slipped on every banana peel—egregious fouls, nasty turnovers and an offense vacant of actual plays or any existence of […]
The Knicks have consecutive 50-win seasons—a dry-mouthed mirage becoming reality after years of crawling the desert sands, dragging the remains of Derek Fisher and Steve Mills and David Fizdale and Mario Hezonja. Yet still—as the Knicks have their most successful ball club since I was using AOL disks to load up pixelated photos of Anna […]
The 2025 NBA Playoffs are a few weeks away—you can tell from the god awful basketball played nightly as half the NBA loses everything for a chance at a teenager—like Subway Jared—and the other half exhausts their PTO in an attempt to maintain their health for the postseason. It’s the worst time in the calendar […]

Since Luka arrived in Los Angeles, the Lakers became an instant title contender—which meant ESPN would devote all of their energy into developing weeks of surface-level analysis of box scores or quick glimpses of games they caught looking up at a few times behind the bar while they were out to dinner with execs, colleagues, […]
For too long, we have allowed LeBron James to go about his career without any real criticism, examination or pushback. He’s been untouchable from his first steps onto an NBA court—never questioned or faulted for any mistakes he’s made. The media, as well as the fans, all treat LeBron like an untouchable diety—fearing internal damnation […]
Coming into Thursday night’s showdown of my favorite basketball team and ESPN’s, the Knicks were 0-8 against the top 4 teams in the NBA—including the Lakers flying into Madison Square Garden and beating them by 16 before they stole Luka from the Mavs. Meanwhile, LA was on a 7-game winning streak with JJ Redick suddenly […]
