The New York Knicks needed to make a move at the trade deadline. There were too many talented players sitting on the bench begging for playing time to ignore. Well, the Knicks have now added a new player who will be battling for minutes in coach Thibs’s tight rotation. The Trail Blazers are trading Josh […]
There is a lot going on in the NBA right now. LeBron James just scored the most points in the history of basketball. Kyrie Irving was traded to Texas to ruin Luka Doncic’s life. Oh, and Cam Thomas is quietly the best player in the league. 40+ points in three consecutive games 🔥@24_camthomas, ladies and […]
Last week, Kyrie Irving demanded a trade from the Brooklyn Nets once they offered him a max contract extension that had irregular stipulations. The Nets wasted absolutely no time accommodating his demands and immediately sent him to Texas. Official: Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks. Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, 2029 first-round pick and two second-round […]
Ja Morant is the most electric player in the NBA. He has transformed the Memphis Grizzlies into real threats in the West and changed their identity into shit-talkers trying to fight Shannon Sharpe sitting courtside because they want all the smoke or whatever. They were about to jump an 8-time NFL All-Star. Last week, the […]
This week, Kyrie Irving officially demanded a trade from the Brooklyn Nets two weeks before the trade deadline. He refused to sign the contract extension he was offered and told Brooklyn he was leaving in free agency this summer if he was dealt swiftly. Brooklyn doesn’t have to make a move—especially now that Kyrie told […]
Dillon Brooks is one of the most annoying players in the NBA. Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies are such a fun team to watch but it’s impossible not to shake your head at Brooks who will do some unbelievably dumb shit at least once a game. On Thursday night, Dillon Brooks and Donovan Mitchell […]
On Tuesday night, the New York Knicks lost 123-129 in overtime to the Los Angeles Lakers. With 6:51 left in the 4th quarter, Tom Thibodeau benched RJ Barrett. He would never touch the court again. This has become a common theme for the Knicks as of late. RJ Barrett sits most of the 4th quarter […]
I wasn’t on Earth to see Michael Jordan’s first few years in Chicago. When LeBron was drafted to Cleveland, I was a little hater like all of his teammates. But I am ready to embrace Anthony Edwards as the new Prince Who Was Promised. Anthony Edwards truly has the potential to become the face of […]
On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers traveled to Madison Square Garden and beat the New York Knicks 129-123 in overtime. Most sites would take this opportunity to write about LeBron James recording his first triple-double of the season or LeBron James passing Steve Nash for 4th in all-time career assists. But not I. Let’s […]
One of my favorite aspects of the NBA is the league, and the players’, willingness to stand up for social causes. The Los Angeles Clippers considered forfeiting a playoff game just because they refused to play for then-owner and racist Oogie-Boogie, Donald Sterling. The NBA is on the forefront of social change. And it’s very […]
The New York Knicks are currently 26-23 and sitting at the 7th seed in the Eastern Conference. There is a clear separation between the top teams like Milwaukee, Boston and Brooklyn, and the middling teams like New York, Miami and Indiana. If the Knicks want to establish themselves as a real threat, they need to […]
Former Spur and current lunatic on the Atlanta Hawks, Dejounte Murray, went on Stephen Jackson’s podcast or TV show or whatever he’s doing on Showtime and told the story about his final days in San Antonio with the lovely Tony Parker. “That was the year I took the job from Tony [Parker]…I know he didn’t […]

If the NBA season were to end today, the Los Angeles Lakers would be watching the playoffs at the bar next to you as they are currently 3 games below .500 and are occupying the 12th seed in the Western Conference. On January 5th, teams are allowed to start handing out 10-day contracts and with […]
On Tuesday night, the New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers 119-113 at home thanks almost entirely to the grit and tenacity of their new star point guard, Jalen Bruson. Jalen Brunson could be on Broadway with this kind of footwork pic.twitter.com/vSn3ESkiBj — Mike Vorkunov (@MikeVorkunov) January 12, 2023 Here’s what Brunson was able to […]
The Los Angeles Clippers just had a huge 113-101 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday night at the historic Crypto.com arena. A crucial W following a brutal 6-game losing streak where the NBA media gathered around to throw flowers on their grave. But when the Mavericks take the court, the Clippers see a pie […]
