When people show you who they are, believe them. I knew Grant Williams was a loser in the 2022 NBA Finals when he decided to spend all of his energy attempting to ‘get in Draymond Green’s head’ while the Warriors were, ya know, focused on actually winning the NBA championship. Draymond Green vs Grant Williams […]
The trade deadline is my favorite part of the year and the 2024 NBA Trade Deadline did not disappoint. It probably helps that my favorite team had the best day but we’ll get into that later. And with every big event, there are winners and there are certainly losers. Let’s start with the winners… 2024 […]
The 2024 NBA Trade Deadline might be a little disappointing with no real stars changing teams but I think there are more than a few role players that could change cities and alter a team’s championship potential. I’m also just obsessed with trades like, imagine opening up Twitter and finding out your job is sending […]
It feels silly to speculate about a team trading away LeBron James but there was a tweet this week that made a LeBron trade seem like a real possibility. Hearing from @nba peeps @KingJames is the top of the @Lakers list to trade the 39 year old. Pelinka is looking for the right team to […]
NBA players I want to talk about this week is a new weekly column where we go through some guys in the league who I’m strangely obsessed over at this current moment. 1. Jalen Brunson I just want to talk about this one play from New York’s victory over the Miami Heat: JALEN BRUNSON […]
Before the season started, I wrote about the NBA’s new rule requiring players to be in a minimum of 65 games to be eligible for end-of-the-season awards and how unbelievably short-sided and silly it was. My original point was this rule incentivizes organizations to do shady shit and manipulate playing time to keep their guys […]
I constantly try to make Deadseriousness stand out from the crowd. Zag when they zig. Or vice versa. Whatever. I would’ve loved nothing more than to see the Milwaukee Bucks hire Doc Rivers as their new head and coach and write an interesting article on how Doc is a smart hire and defensive coverages and […]
As a Knicks fan, I am fully aware of my favorite team’s reputation. Since the 2000s, the Knicks have been run by a neanderthal who simply doesn’t understand the sport of basketball. But when he handed the keys to Phil Jackson in 2014, James Dolan essentially wiped his hands clean of all meddling and intervening […]
Since joining the Knicks on January 1st, OG Anunoby has helped New York go 8-2 while recording a league-high +170 plus-minus in 10 games. The Knicks have the No. 1 defensive rating over this time. OG and the Knicks are putting teams in the torture chamber every night. And this is why you trade RJ […]
We’ve passed the threshold where it is officially time to take the NBA season seriously. The NFL season is over. We watched Charles Barkley say we need to give white people more credit for Civil Rights on MLK Day. So let’s get these power rankings started bay-beeeeeeeeeeee: 1. New York Knicks I couldn’t write the […]
Chain Reaction is something new I’m working on. Basically, after a big move goes down, I’m going to try and break down all of the people affected by the trade/signing/firing/cutting/resigning/re-signing. And here is our very first chain reaction: BREAKING: The Indiana Pacers are finalizing a trade to acquire All-Star F Pascal Siakam in a deal […]
Josh Giddey simply fell for the wrong girl. It’s happened to all of us. We meet a girl we like and our rose-colored glasses shield us from all the obvious red flags. For some, it’s clinginess or perhaps substance abuse. One time I fell for a girl who I’m still to this day, convinced could […]
If you’ve been reading Deadseriousness for a minute then you know I have strong feelings about Quentin Grimes. I believe he has the ideal skillset every NBA playoff team would want in their rotation but for some reason, the New York Knicks are reportedly shopping him around before the trade deadline. This story is coming […]
On Saturday night, the NFL aired a playoff game exclusively on Peacock so millions of people had to purchase a new subscription (or find a working stream online). But some of us, like myself, have had Peacock for years. If you were forced to pay for this streaming service and you see shit like the […]
The NBA defines ‘Clutch Time’ as the final five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime when the score is within five points. On Thursday night, I watched my beloved New York Knicks travel to Dallas. They lost 124-128 and although the score looked close, the Mavericks were in complete control the entire game. And […]
Gilbert Arenas is one of the better NBA media personalities out there. You can tell all of his thoughts are consumed by basketball. He doesn’t sugarcoat his opinions and it genuinely seems like being a credible, respected basketball analyst is important to Gil. But lately, Gilbert Arenas has become what makes guys like Stephen A. […]
