Detroit Basketball, Baby! (6/23/21)

And the first pick in the 2021 NBA Draft goes to… The Detroit Pistons! Congratulations Pistons fans! I’m happy for you. The first pick is really big for a team whose franchise player was Andre Drummond for most of the decade. All signs point to Cade Cunningham being the number one selection. Although I’m notContinue reading “Detroit Basketball, Baby! (6/23/21)”

Thoughts on the Kemba Walker Deal (6/18/21)

The first trade of the NBA offseason went down today, and it involves some biggish names. Kemba Walker is headed to OKC. Al Horford is returning to Boston. Some draft picks are involved. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the full deal. OKC Thunder get: Kemba Walker, 2021 16th overall pick, 2025 2nd roundContinue reading “Thoughts on the Kemba Walker Deal (6/18/21)”

Thoughts on Bucks vs. Nets Game 5

Game 5 between the Bucks and Nets was crazy. One of the best games of the playoffs so far. It made me incredibly mad. I tweeted a lot during that game, so if you want a simple summary of my thoughts, just visit my Twitter. Anyways, I have a lot of different things to touchContinue reading “Thoughts on Bucks vs. Nets Game 5”

Run it Back, Denver! (6/14/21)

The Denver Nuggets season is over, and it didn’t end in an ideal way. After beating Portland in 6 games, they got swept by the Phoenix Suns. Of course, Jamal Murray being injured is a large part of that. Anytime your second option goes down, you’re gonna be worse, so the Nuggets shouldn’t be tooContinue reading “Run it Back, Denver!

What’s Next for the Portland Trail Blazers? (6/5/21)

Another first round exit for the Portland Trail Blazers. That’s unfortunate. Losing to a Denver Nuggets roster missing their second best player is not the way that Portland wanted to go out. Damian Lillard definitely didn’t want to lose. Over the six games, he averaged 34 points and 10 assists while shooting 45% from three.Continue reading “What’s Next for the Portland Trail Blazers?

We Love the New York Knicks (6/3/21)

After an overachieving 2021 season, the New York Knicks are finally done. They kinda got crushed by the Hawks, but that doesn’t matter. The Knicks had the most successful 2021 NBA season. The big reason why is, of course, their overachievement record wise. Nobody (besides maybe some die hard Knicks fan) had them finishing anywhereContinue reading “We Love the New York Knicks (6/3/21)”

What’s Next for the Boston Celtics? (6/2/21)

The Boston Celtics just lost in five games to Brooklyn. This outcome wasn’t unexpected, as even if Jaylen Brown was playing the Celtics just wouldn’t have been able to match the offensive output of the Nets. It’s still disappointing though, of course. After this loss, Danny Ainge stepped down from his GM/President of basketball operationsContinue reading “What’s Next for the Boston Celtics? (6/2/21)”

What’s Next for the Miami Bubble Guppies? (6/1/21)

The Miami Heat, after making a Finals run in the 2020 playoffs, just got demolished by the Bucks. They got swept 4-0, and only one game was close (and that was the one Bucks struggle game. The Heat didn’t play well all series). That’s super disappointing. So, because of this disappointing loss, we now knowContinue reading “What’s Next for the Miami Bubble Guppies? (6/1/21)”

Thoughts and Takeaways From the First Playoff Games (5/24/21)

I’ve got some takeaways from these games. A few involve the play-in, the rest relate to the first playoff games played this weekend. Here we go! (BeforeContinue reading “Thoughts and Takeaways From the First Playoff Games (5/24/21)”

My Official 2020-21 NBA Awards (5/18/21)

The NBA regular season has wrapped up. For me, it was a great season. I enjoyed watching games this year. The one bad thing for me was all the injuries. So many stars missed time this year. Hopefully next year everybody stays healthy. Because the regular season is over, I can now give you myContinue reading “My Official 2020-21 NBA Awards (5/18/21)”
