The new rule in action. Sorry to pick on Steph Curry, but this is the clearest example we have at this early stage in the preseason: It’s about damn time. I’ve always said it should be an offensive foul to do that, but I’ll settle for a no-call. Glad the NBA finally addressed this. No… Read More “Not This Year.” First Look at New NBA Rules on Unnatural Motions, and It’s About Time
It’s no secret that LeBron pays attention to what is being said about him him in both the sports media and on social media. He’s not like KD, where he will respond directly to haters and critics (sometimes even on burner accounts), but is usually keenly aware of the media narratives about him and his… Read More LeBron Responds to Critics of New-Look Lakers: “Keep that Same ENERGY when it Begins!”
Right around 2pm central/3pm eastern, some serious Woj Bombs were dropped: Patty Mills signs 2 year $12 million deal with the Brooklyn Nets. It was reported last night that the Nets were out on Mills, but apparently that was untrue. The Nets now have shooting for days, but are probably going to look to add… Read More More Big Moves Made on Day 2 of Free Agency
Last night’s game seven between the Bucks and the Nets was one of the greatest basketball games I’ve ever watched.

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. This is one for the history books. He played all 48 minutes. Didn’t sit at all. He hit a huge… Read More Kevin Durant With a Playoff Performance for the Ages
Harden has been out since game 1 with a hamstring injury. Kyrie just went down with an ankle injury in the second quarter of last night’s game. Now the series is tied 2-2 and it looks as if it’ll be KD and Blake Griffin vs. the Bucks. If both Kyrie and Harden are out for… Read More Kyrie’s Injury Changes Everything
They did it the hard way, that’s for sure. But they needed this win badly and they got it. That’s all that matters. The Bucks could’ve put this game away early when they were up 30-9, but they let the Nets climb back into it in the second quarter. I mean the Bucks started this… Read More Bucks Grind Out Game 3 Win, Get Back in the Series
LeBron’s team is out in the first round for the first time ever. The team he plays for, the Lakers, are a perennial playoff team and have won 17 NBA championships throughout their storied history. The Celtics, who also have 17 titles, are already out. The Warriors missed the playoffs. The Miami Heat are already… Read More Dawn of a New Era in the NBA?
It feels like the 2020 NBA Finals in the bubble just ended a couple of weeks ago, but here we are gearing up for the 2021 Playoffs, which will be finalized tonight with the Warriors/Grizzlies game and officially begin tomorrow. I think the Warriors are going to win tonight, but I’m not super solid in… Read More 2021 NBA Playoff Predictions
Over the weekend, the LeBron-and-AD-less Lakers blew out the Harden-less Nets by 25, surprising just about everybody in the basketball world, including, I suspect, even LeBron and AD, who were in street clothes on the bench and were clearly loving every single minute of the game. Andre Drummond bullied LaMarcus Aldridge inside, and Dennis Schroder… Read More The Nets’ Fatal Flaw?
