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
The ferocious Andrew Wiggins dunk right in Luka’s face was the moment the series ended. It was an 8 point game with about 6:40 to play, but that dunk ended the series. Goodnight. And now the Warriors are on the verge of their 6th Finals trip since 2015. The NBA Finals since 2015: 2015: Warriors… Read More Warriors on Verge of 6th Finals Appearance in Last 8 Years
Two of the four conference semifinal series have tipped off. Let’s overreact! I guess I jumped the gun in saying the Bucks are dead without Middleton–to say the least. The Bucks are for real. Obviously Middleton is huge for them, and I don’t think they can win the whole thing without him, but losing Middleton… Read More NBA Playoffs: Round 2, Game 1s Reaction
I hate to admit it, but the Golden State Warriors are the Patriots of the NBA. Steve Kerr is the best coach in the game. They just plug dudes into that system, and they become stars. I’m not saying Jordan Poole isn’t talented or anything, and I’m not saying he doesn’t work hard. I’m just… Read More Jordan Poole is the Third Splash Brother
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?
It’s been rumored since the Blazers’ season ended last month, but now it appears to be happening. This comes via Henry Abbott of True Hoop: Fifty-five is a ridiculous number of points to score in an NBA game, no matter how many shots you take. Just 45 days ago, Blazers guard Damian Lillard—thanks to 12… Read More 🚨🚨 Damian Lillard Reportedly Set to Request Trade: Where’s He Headed?
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?
I wrote yesterday that I thought the Warriors would win, but that it would be closer than most people were expecting. By no means did I think the Grizzlies would win, but I also thought given the way they took care of the Spurs on Wednesday night, they were more dangerous than people were giving… Read More The Memphis Grizzlies Are the First-Ever #9 Seed to Make the NBA Playoffs
