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
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 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?
Okay, I know I’m a little late with this as we are through Game 1 in every playoff series (I am typing this up in the middle of the Minnesota/Denver Game 1). So I’m going to cheat a little bit, but also, I made this bracket before the playoffs started and so these are my… Read More 2023 NBA Playoff Predictions
Last night, I was up late watching some analysis of the Russell Westbrook trade and listening in on some Lakers Twitter spaces (which are the an absolute riot, by the way). I was just about to fall asleep when someone in the Twitter space said the Nets and Suns were nearing a deal for Kevin… Read More 🚨 Kevin Durant Has Been Traded to the Nets | Thoughts on the New and Improved LA Lakers
LeBron has become the all-time scoring king in NBA regular season history. He’s held the record for combined playoff and regular season points for a while now, but Kareem’s 38,387 number is the one that is really the gold standard. It’s crazy that this moment has already arrived. I feel like it was yesterday I… Read More 🐐 LeGOAT 🐐
I started working on this post on Friday and wrote a whole bunch about Kyrie’s potential fit with the Lakers, but I swear I included a part at the end where I said a trade to the Mavericks would make a lot of sense. This is what I wrote on Friday in my draft: “While… Read More Kyrie has been traded to the Mavericks 👀
This video is very well made and exposes Woj for what he is: a PR mouthpiece for his friends around the league. And a first-rate LeBron hater. I never knew about all his Yahoo columns about LeBron from the 2000s. Wow. Woj might be a bigger LeBron hater than Skip and Screamin’ A Smith. I… Read More Woj Is a Snake
It’s becoming increasingly clear that the Nets’ preference right now is to simply run it back with the roster they have. This is why there haven’t been any trades despite KD requesting out in early July. This is the reason the Nets don’t like any of the offers that have been made for both KD… Read More The Nets Are in Denial
It took about two weeks for LeBron to sign the extension he was eligible to sign starting August 4: This jibes with a lot of what we’ve been seeing lately: that LeBron is very happy where he is, he’s on good terms with the Lakers front office, and he wants to remain a Laker. I… Read More LeBron Signs 2 year, $97 million Extension with LA Lakers; Russ Trade Imminent?
