Last night, in the third quarter, Bucks superstar and 2x NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounpo went down with what looked like a serious knee injury. He was holding the back of his knee, and that’s where your ACL is located. He didn’t return to the game. It didn’t take a genius to put 2+2 together. It’s… Read More The 2021 NBA Playoffs Have Officially Been Ruined By Injuries
Over the weekend, the Blazers announced that they’d hired Chauncey Billups to be their next head coach. The problem is, Dame had previously stated that he preferred Jason Kidd for the job. Yahoo! Sports’ Chris Haynes reported that this, along with the Blazers’ inability to put Championship-level talent around him, “could push Damian Lillard out… Read More It Sure Looks Like Damian Lillard is On His Way Out of Portland…
Pip recently had some thoughts about KD and the Nets’ game seven loss to Milwaukee: “KD, as great as his offense was, it turned out to be his worst enemy because he didn’t know how to play team basketball.

It was there for the taking. The Clippers, without Kawhi Leonard, were a pair of Paul George free throws away from just about sealing the deal and evening up the Western Conference Finals series 1-1. Clinging to a one-point lead with 8.2 seconds to play, Paul George–a dude who shot 87% from the line this… Read More “Valley-Oop,” George’s Missed Free Throws Give Suns Incredible Game 2 Win
I don’t even know what’s going on in this man’s head. He is completely afraid of the rim: When you look at the still shot, it’s insane that he did not go up with the ball here: This man needs to see a sports psychologist or something. It is 100% a confidence thing. He has… Read More Ben. Simmons.
Last night’s game seven between the Bucks and the Nets was one of the greatest basketball games I’ve ever watched.

This came in via The Athletic: This isn’t really a surprise. At least it didn’t come as a surprise to me. Is it really so hard to believe that Zion isn’t thrilled to be playing for probably the worst franchise in the NBA? The Pelicans are never on national TV. New Orleans is a football… Read More Report: Zion’s Family Wants Him out of New Orleans
Damn, he didn’t hold back: The thing is, he was saying this stuff before the season started. I have been saying since the playoffs started that the shortened offseason was bad for players and likely causing all these injuries, but I was only saying that because LeBron was saying it. I figured he knew what… Read More LeBron Blasts NBA for Putting Players at Higher Injury Risk
49 points, 17 rebounds, 10 assists on a ridiculous 16-23 shooting. No Kyrie, James Harden in the game but basically a decoy the entire night. Series tied 2-2, everyone calling you dead in the water.
