(Long time, no see, everybody! Sorry about the drought of articles. I was just enjoying the Finals. I’ll be back to my usual article schedule now.) The Bucks did it. For the first time in 50 years, the Milwaukee Bucks are NBA champions! I’m pumped. This is awesome. I truly love this Bucks roster. IContinue reading “Your 2021 Milwaukee Bucks, the NBA Champs”

The Giannis Era (7/8/21)
This story begins on June 27th, 2013. The Milwaukee Bucks season ended two months earlier. After finishing with a 38-44 record, they were swept in the first round of the playoffs. Their roster was led by Monta Ellis, Brandon Jennings, and Ersan Ilyasova. Young Tobias Harris and John Henson were also on the team. BecauseContinue reading “The Giannis Era (7/8/21)”
The Epic Turnaround of the Phoenix Suns (7/4/21)
Just four years ago, in the 2017-18 season, the Phoenix Suns were awful. They were last in the league in offensive and defensive ratings. Young star Devin Booker was playing for a team where his second best player was T.J. Warren (pre-bubble, of course). Their recent lottery picks, Dragan Bender and Josh Jackson, weren’t performingContinue reading “The Epic Turnaround of the Phoenix Suns (7/4/21)”
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! (6/14/21)”
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? (6/5/21)”
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)”
