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
I started this post in the fourth quarter as Boston was desperately trying to come back so I’ll just get all my thoughts out here as the game winds down: Boston just looks like they have dead legs. They can hit threes, but they literally cannot play defense at all. They’re not only giving up… Read More The Golden State Warriors Have Won the 2022 NBA Championship
You know I’ve been complimentary of Steph in this series. I think I’ve been fair, though. I don’t think he’s had an all-time great series, but he did have an all-time great performance in Game 4. I am not one of those people who say Steph isn’t clutch, or that he’s played like shit in… Read More Warriors Take 3-2 Lead in Finals with 104-94 Win
I hate to be the “I told you so” guy, but in my post about Game 3, I said that the only way the Warriors can win games in this series is if the Celtics play like shit and Steph goes for 40. Tonight, the Celtics played like shit, Steph went for 43, and the… Read More Steph Drops 43, Warriors Prevail 107-97 to Tie Finals 2-2
The game has just ended. I’m going to get all my thoughts out here quickly, and then after watching some commentary on the game later tonight and tomorrow morning, and having some more time to think on the game, I’ll add in some more insights. But these are my immediate reactions: It should go without… Read More Celtics Take Game 3, 116-100
Through two games, this Finals has basically been decided by two quarters: Boston’s 4th quarter in Game 1, and Golden State’s 3rd quarter in Game 2. Outside of those two quarters, this series has basically been dead even (although Golden State did have a dominant 3rd quarter in Game 1 as well). This was the… Read More Warriors Even Finals 1-1 in 107-88 Blowout
I started writing this post when Marcus Smart hit a dagger three ball to make it 117-103 with under 5 minutes to play in the 4th. Boston is going to win this game by at least 10, probably 15+, after being down 10-15 points for most of the third quarter. I am highly impressed with… Read More Celtics Take Game 1 of 2022 NBA Finals, Steal Home Court Advantage
Recently, the biggest story in the NBA has not been the preseason games, but Kyrie Irving’s refusal to get the vaccine. Now, apparently NBA players are not required to get the vaccine, but the issue is that Kyrie Irving plays in New York City, where the city government has made it mandatory for people to… Read More Kyrie Irving is Pulling an Antonio Brown
This is a cool clip of Carmelo Anthony talking about what LeBron said to him when he called him about becoming a Laker this offseason: “It was no-bullshit. It was a real call. I wasn’t expecting it–I mean, we talked about it the year before, about getting together. I heard it, and that’s my brother,… Read More Carmelo Anthony on How LeBron Recruited Him to the Lakers: “Yo, I Need You”
Yesterday, Steph Curry signed a 4 year contract extension with the Golden State Warriors that will probably ensure he retires a Warrior. He will be making $59.6 million in the 2026 NBA season, in which he will turn 38. Now, given that he’s a shooter, it’s entirely possible he’s still a highly effective basketball player… Read More What Are the Warriors Doing?
