There is still one more game left for the gold medal against the host France, and it will not be a walkover game. But still, we really need to cherish what we just witnessed in the semifinal against Serbia. For three quarters, Team USA looked out of sorts and uninspired, heading into the 4th quarter… Read More We Just Witnessed the Greatest Basketball Moment of Our Lifetime
I will start this post off by saying I would have taken Wemby #1 overall were I in the Spurs’ position last month. I loved Scoot Henderson as a prospect but Wemby just has a higher ceiling. I think that, if he stays healthy–which is a big if, as we’ll get into–he will be a… Read More Will Wemby Live Up to the Hype?
The consensus 2023 NCAA National Player of the Year, Purdue Center Zach Edey, took his name out of the NBA Draft on May 31, opting to return to school for another year rather than try his luck in the draft. He was not projected to be drafted, which is why he went back. Kentucky’s Oscar… Read More Is College Basketball “Dead”?
Let’s get this out of the way first: Nobody can fault Phoenix for making this trade. If you can get Bradley Beal without giving up a first round pick, and all you have to give up is Chris Paul (who you were planning on waiving anyway) and Landry Shamet, you do that deal. Now, the… Read More Does Bradley Beal Turn the Phoenix Suns into the Title Favorites?
I know this post is a bit late but I still wanted to weigh in on the 2023 Finals. I had a feeling it would be Denver in 5, but I didn’t want to sell Miami short after they proved me wrong for three rounds in a row, so I picked Denver in 7. I… Read More The Nuggets Are NBA Champions–And a Dynasty in the Making?!
After that insane ending to Game 6 in Miami, where Derrick White saved the Celtics’ season at the buzzer with a game-winning putback to force a Game 7 back home in Boston, I don’t think many people gave the Heat a chance. I didn’t, personally. I thought they were cooked. But like they always say,… Read More Miami Heat Become Second 8th Seed to Reach NBA Finals, Celtics Left Looking for Answers
Yet again, Temetrius “Ja” Morant was filmed flashing a gun. One of his friends was on IG Live while in the car with Ja, they were bumping some music, the friend panned the camera over to Ja who had pulled out his gun and was showing it off. The friend quickly yanked the camera away… Read More The NBA is Not Going to Tolerate Ja Morant’s Behavior
From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals. From the 13th seed at the trade deadline to the Final Four. You didn’t actually think LeBron and AD would choke a 3-1 lead, did you? Please tell me you didn’t fall for the Bron Hater fan fiction–the ESPN wet dream. Don’t tell me you believed the little… Read More Lakers Eliminate Warriors 4-2; Western Conference Finals Prediction | Where Do Warriors Go From Here?
I feel partially vindicated here. On the one hand, I look like an idiot for picking the Timberwolves to beat the Nuggets in the first round. After two games of that series I immediately recognized the error of my ways and changed my thinking on the Nuggets. But on the other hand, I have been… Read More Nuggets Destroy the Suns and Advance to Western Conference Finals–Is Jokic the Best Basketball Player in the World?
Milwaukee was at home and up 14 going into the 4th quarter. In fact, there was a point late in the 3rd quarter where Milwaukee was up 102-86 and I turned the game off. I started watching the Warriors-Kings game instead because I thought it was over. Miami stayed hot from three, as I predicted… Read More Bucks Bounced in 5 By Butler and Heat After Another 4th Quarter Collapse
