I was going to wait until the Finals are finished for this post, but I see no need to wait. I’ll go over it more when we get to Giannis, but this is the top 10 players in the NBA right now, according to me. It’s based on simple criteria: what is the player capable… Read More Who Are the Top 10 Players in the NBA Right Now?
The Bucks just secured their first win of this 2021 NBA Finals series, 120-100 at home in Milwaukee, and it’s exactly what the doctor ordered. The Bucks desperately needed this game after losing the first two in Phoenix, because you cannot go down 3-0. In my last post, I wrote about how Giannis’ teammates–specifically Khris… Read More For Milwaukee Bucks, There’s No Place Like Home
The Suns took Game 2 of the Finals 118-108 and are now up 2-0 with the series shifting to Milwaukee. The Bucks are now 5-6 on the road during this postseason, but 7-1 at home. They’re going to need to continue that home-court dominance if they’re going to get back into this series, because obviously… Read More Giannis’ Teammates Are Letting Him Down
A report recently surfaced via Evan Massey of NBA Analysis that the Lakers are interested in DeMar DeRozan, whose contract with the Spurs is up and is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the coming weeks. DeRozan, 32, is from the LA area and played his college ball at USC, so you’d imagine… Read More DeMar DeRozan to the Lakers?
Despite the surprise return of Giannis Antetokounmpo just before tip-off, the Suns managed to hold off the Bucks 118-105 and take a 1-0 series lead. Despite shooting just 32.4% from three (11-34) compared to Milwaukee’s 44.4% (16-36), the Suns were able to make up the difference at the free throw line, going an impressive 25-26… Read More Suns Take Game 1 of 2021 Finals
Colin Cowherd recently floated a brow-raising trade proposal (sorry): Anthony Davis for Damian Lillard: The gist of it is that AD is unreliable due to his frequent injuries, while Dame Lillard barely misses any games at all and would be a better fit alongside LeBron. Colin also believes that Anthony Davis isn’t fully committed to… Read More Should the Lakers Trade AD for Dame?
The Phoenix Suns closed out the LA Clippers four games to two, clinching the Western Conference and sending Chris Paul to his first-ever NBA Finals. Ironically, the game was in the building–the Staples Center–where Paul played for six seasons and against the team that, if we’re being honest here, Chris Paul transformed from a joke… Read More After 16 Years, Chris Paul is in the NBA Finals
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. He kept trying to go punch for punch.” “Have you ever seen LeBron take a shot… Read More Scottie Pippen Takes a Shot at KD, KD Fires Back
