Friday afternoon, Mike Brown walked out of Sacramento Kings HQ with his possessions in a box . Just In: The Sacramento Kings are parting ways with head coach Mike Brown, sources told ESPN. pic.twitter.com/mNdn5EOv4U — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) December 27, 2024 Can’t look away from how Mike Brown was fired. Brown led a full Friday […]
The NBA is in crisis. The league has lost its footing in American culture. You can tell from the constant Anthony Edwards Christmas Sprite commercials. See, the NBA tries to trick you into believing they’re relevant by constantly shoving their stars in your face 24/7 but they’re barely keeping their heads above water. Their ratings […]
The NBA’s ratings are plummeting by the day and after Wednesday night’s Emirates Cup quarterfinals between the Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks The Hawks beat the Knicks 108-100 in Madison Square Garden. Dyson Daniels put Jalen Brunson in a figure four leg lock all night, holding him to just 14 points on 5-for-15 […]
On July 7th, Chris Paul signed a 1-year, $11 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs. The 39-year-old police officer transferred to San Antonio, Texas to have one final campaign with the hot, up-and-coming blue chip prospect, Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs suck. They’re currently the 11th seed looking up at the Lakers for the last […]
From Wilt Chamberlain to Dennis Rodman to James Harden, we’ve heard about NBA players veryyyy much enjoying the night life. And good for them. What is the point of sacrificing your body, spending more than half the year on the road and allowing dorks like Stephen A. Smith to destroy your reputation on TV every […]
I spent Black Friday purchasing things I cannot afford thanks to discounts that aren’t nearly as discounted as they used to be when Black Friday first became a thing. Friday night was spent flipping between NBA Cup games and I couldn’t help but be overwhelmed by the thought that this new thing is bad because […]
I’m lowkey rooting for the Charlotte Hornets this season. The Celtics, Heat, Bucks and Sixers have been the only relevant Eastern Conference teams of the last decade. We need new blood, new stars, and simply new color schemes to watch. Sure, the Hornets only have 6 wins and currently sit in 11th place but they […]
Mikal Bridges moved to the big city for a Villanova Wildcats reunion. After being jettisoned from Phoenix for Kevin Durant,, sent to purgatory—trapped in the cave with nothing but paint and the cave walls to pass the time—Bridges mastered his artistry and prepared to share his gifts in Manhattan. Then the Knicks traded one of […]
So far, the 2024 NBA TV ratings are down. The NBA’s opening night ratings were down 42% from last year. The entire first week of games saw double-digit percentage drop-offs. NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver, fought back against some critiques and said this to defend his product: “I don’t think it has anything to do with […]
The entire New Orleans Pelicans organization seemed shocked that the 2024-25 NBA season began. They came into opening night without a real center on the roster. Brandon Ingram was on the trade block all summer and the organization thought to just bring him back after going door-to-door and begging anyone to take him off their […]
I’ve been shitting on the Philadelphia 76ers since the Knicks eliminated them from the first round of the playoffs. I genuinely could not believe how many people were praising the Sixers for winning the offseason. They signed an injury-prone 34-year-old who fans sarcastically call “Playoff P” because he stinks in the playoffs and the first […]
Karl-Anthony Towns was the star of the Minnesota Timberwolves for 9 years. A decade of constructing a boring culture—briefly interrupted by a year of Jimmy Butler using them to build his brand—Minnesota finally made it to the Western Conference Finals. Lost in 7 games. They could’ve easily made the NBA Finals had a few bounces […]
The Milwaukee Bucks fell to 1-6 after another back-breaking loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Giannis Antetokounmpo missed the game with some BS injury to help get him a bonus day off before the NBA’s dedication to get people out to the polls on Election Day. Not you, Jonathan Isaac. You can stay home. Milwaukee was […]
The Knicks aren’t a basketball team without Josh Hart. They’d be 11 millionaires standing around watching the coach’s son chuck up 900 shots a game. Josh Hart is the most important player on the New York Knicks. At 6-foot-4, he rebounds the way Andre Drummond talks about Andre Drummond rebounding. I’m convinced Josh Hart is […]
When Kristaps Porzingis played for the Knicks, he was 20 years old and moving to a brand new country. On the court, he could put the ball in the basket fine but he didn’t do the microscopic things that lead to wins—and off the court, he was getting jumped in Latvia and may or may […]
We made it. We finally made it. The 2024-25 NBA season begins this week which means it’s time to wildly speculate on the outcomes of all 82 games before a single one gets played. As is tradition. Some of these predictions fit the bold category and some of these predictions fit the stupid category but […]
