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 […]
Tyrese Haliburton’s profile is blossoming. The best passer in the NBA just led the Indiana Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals (thanks to every player on the Knicks using their final hours of sick time before the season ended), got to sit courtside at the Paris Olympics to watch Team USA win gold from the […]
Okay, so, uh, Mikal Bridges can’t shoot anymore. Mikal Bridges’ shooting form doesn’t look sound atm.: Vs the Wizards last night: 2/12 FG 0/10 3PM Lots of talk in fantasy circles about him returning to his efficient Suns days where he was a top 50 guy. Do you think he can do it?#FantasyBasketbal pic.twitter.com/skS508jdSL — […]
I love NBA rookies. And not in a Draya/Jalen Green financial exploitation kind of way. A fresh crop of talented players hit the league and we tattoo our hopes, beliefs, fears, biases and agendas to them before they play their first minute. This year is an interesting draft class as there are no clear “stars” […]
There’s no such thing as normal. We are all unique beings just trying to make our way through planet Earth, doing the best we can. And there’s nothing normal about being an NBA player. You travel across the country, showering with your coworkers every night and everyone you meet knows exactly how much money you […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are STACKED this season. They crushed the offseason bringing in superstar, Paul George to replace Tobias Harris, a guy who would prefer to stand in the corner and watch the game instead of participating in it. So no one should bat an eye that Joel Embiid told ESPN he won’t ever play […]
We got FREEEEEEESH BEEEF in Madison Square Garden Sunday night. The Minnesota Timberwolves came to Broadway just a few weeks after the two teams completed a massive, season-altering trade. Minnesota sent 4-time All-Star, Karl-Anthony Towns, to New York for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo (and a draft pick that won’t matter). It only took 6 […]
On Saturday morning, I woke up in Vermont at 6am, hungover as shit, to see my cell phone BLOWN UP with texts about a Knicks trade I missed dancing my ass off at a wedding the night before. The rest of my weekend turned into watching Karl-Anthony Towns highlights, preparing for one of the biggest […]
With the No. 2 pick of the 2024 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards selected big man, Alex Sarr, from France. At 19 years old, Sarr will be a project to develop but fortunately, Washington is less of a basketball team and more of an experiment to see if an NBA team can continue to be […]
Luka Doncic was trending yesterday so I clicked and started scrolling. Apparently Kevin O’Connor from The Ringer took time out of his busy day full of sniffing Elon Musk’s seats to report the Lakers have long-term plans of trading for Luka Doncic when the LeBron era is over which isn’t much of a story because […]
Last season ended early for the Philadelphia 76ers as they lost in 7 games to the New York Knicks in the first round. I walked away from that series thinking that team was Tyrese Maxey, a former MVP with a busted knee that’ll never heal properly because he keeps rushing back to prove, like, Twitter […]
Shout out to LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry for leading the 2024 Team USA Olympic squad but this is their farewell tour. I don’t expect to see any of those 3 men playing basketball 4 years from now so we’ll have to re-tool the whole roster. I want to start by saying no […]
On Sunday, Team USA opened up their 2024 Paris Olympic campaign against Serbia. They won 110-84 thanks mainly to their elders, LeBron James, Steph Curry and Kevin Durant, reminding the world they are the greatest to ever do it. Durant led the team with 23 points on only 9 shots. LeBron was right behind him […]
I recently said I was done talking about the league for a while but 2024 NBA Summer League has come to an end and I have some thoughts. Here are the biggest winners from 2024 NBA Summer League: 1. Houston Rockets It’s safe to say, Reed Shepard very obviously should’ve been drafted no. 1, […]
