In this video clip, he asks him about… Read More DeMar DeRozan Sounds Like He Really Wants to Play for the Lakers
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 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.

He fought valiantly, averaging 34ppg and 10apg on a ridiculous 45% from three, but in the end the Blazers fell to the Nuggets in six. The Blazers just don’t have the defense to win in the playoffs. They can score, but they can’t prevent other teams from scoring. That was my biggest takeaway watching that… Read More It’s Time for Dame to Leave Portland
First true home playoff crowd since 2013. Covid restrictions finally lifted and at last a packed house. Not a mask in sight–at least in the crowd.

It didn’t feel like a normal playoff game, it was even crazier than that… Read More Last Night Was a Turning Point for the New York Knicks
Shaq says this team would be unbeatable, assuming of course all guys are in their primes: I’m inclined to agree with him. That’s as close to unbeatable as you can get.
