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)”

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)”

10 Days and Two-Ways/Opportunity in the NBA (4/27/21)
If you read my recent article about underrated young players, you may remember that I mentioned how important opportunity is in the NBA. If you didn’t, I’ll sum it up for you. I said that having young guys on the end of a bench can be very valuable. All it takes is a young playerContinue reading “10 Days and Two-Ways/Opportunity in the NBA (4/27/21)”
Tyler Herro Thinks He’s Nice (4/25/21)
Recently, I’ve seen some stuff come out about Tyler Herro. Apparently, the Heat organization is worried about his stardom getting to his head, which is leading to a decrease in his work ethic. This may legitimately be the case. Tyler has that cocky demeanor on the court that makes him easy to dislike (unless you’reContinue reading “Tyler Herro Thinks He’s Nice (4/25/21)”
An Underrated Young Player from Each Team (4/19/21)
Young NBA Players. They can be so fun, and that’s because their development is so unpredictable. Second round picks can become All-Stars, and lottery picks can be out of the league in three years. J.J. Redick said on an episode of his podcast that he thinks teams in the NBA should have more veterans onContinue reading “An Underrated Young Player from Each Team (4/19/21)”
Top 25 under 25 lists from ESPN and me (4/12/21)
The other day, ESPN released their top 25 NBA players that are under 25 years old. It didn’t get a positive reaction. Even Stephen A. Smith had a fit about it, and he works for ESPN. Because the list is behind the ESPN+ paywall, here it is: 1. Luka Doncic 2. Zion Williamson 3. LaMeloContinue reading “Top 25 under 25 lists from ESPN and me (4/12/21)”
The Recent Overrating of Kyrie Irving (4/7/21)
Kyrie Irving. One of the best ball handlers ever. Great scorer. Second best player on the 2016 Cavalier championship team. 7-Time All-Star. 2-Time All-NBA player. Obviously an excellent player. This season, he’s averaging 28 PPG, 5 RPG, and 6 APG on 50/39/90 shooting. Those would be MVP numbers if he wasn’t the third best player onContinue reading “The Recent Overrating of Kyrie Irving (4/7/21)”
3 PT Shooting Experiment (3/29/21)
The other day, I was listening to an episode of Bill Simmons’s podcast Book of Basketball 2.0 where he talked to Daryl Morey and his time with the Rockets (especially the 2017-18 season). While listening to this episode, I randomly came up with the experiment that this article is about: Can I make two NBAContinue reading “3 PT Shooting Experiment (3/29/21)”
