Trade Deadline Review and Grades (3/26/21)

Hey everybody, it’s been a while! My last post was 11 days ago. But forgive me, because I was waiting for the biggest in-season NBA event: the trade deadline. I was gonna write an article about just the Bucks trade, but I just decided to throw it in this one. That’s why I haven’t madeContinue reading “Trade Deadline Review and Grades (3/26/21)”

The Future of the Oklahoma City Thunder (3/15/21)

The first trade of the season went down a few days ago, with the Thunder trading away a good young player, Hamidou Diallo, to the Detroit Pistons. Hami was averaging 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists before he got traded, all career highs. He was also shooting career highs from the field (48%), fromContinue reading “The Future of the Oklahoma City Thunder (3/15/21)”

I Become the GM of the Milwaukee Bucks- Part 2 (3/8/21)

Welcome to part two of my tenure as the GM of the Milwaukee Bucks. This will be the first of my GM articles where I don’t explain exactly what I’m doing. Why? Because you should have read part one already. I will give a light refresher though. After going 59-24, the Bucks lost in theContinue reading “I Become the GM of the Milwaukee Bucks- Part 2 (3/8/21)”

2021 BMB All-Stars (2/25/21)

Every year there are All-Star snubs. It’s bound to happen. There are plenty of deserving players that don’t get a spot. The biggest snubs this year in my opinion were Domantas Sabonis and DeMar DeRozan. Both are very deserving of a spot based on their play this year. (Note: I am not going to writeContinue reading “2021 BMB All-Stars (2/25/21)”

I Become the GM of the Milwaukee Bucks- Part 1 (2/20/21)

The Bucks finally won last night after a five game losing streak. Unfortunately, they haven’t looked like true championship contenders so far this season. Now, the ultimate goal of resigning Giannis has been accomplished, but we still have to win a championship. So I’m taking over my favorite team and leading them to a championship. Continue reading “I Become the GM of the Milwaukee Bucks- Part 1 (2/20/21)”

I Just Wanted to Talk About the Spurs (2/3/21)

I’ve been a “Spurs fan” for three seasons now, since DeMar DeRozan was traded there. After all, I’m going to root for my favorite player wherever he goes. But for the first two seasons, I wasn’t particularly attached to the rest of the roster. I don’t know exactly why. At the 2020 trade deadline, IContinue reading “I Just Wanted to Talk About the Spurs (2/3/21)”

2021 All-Stars So Far (1/24/21)

We’re about a fifth of the way through the 2020-21 NBA season. That’s a pretty big sample size, or at least big enough where I can make some All-Star picks. I put together lists of every player I think has a case to make the game this year, and then cut it down to 13Continue reading “2021 All-Stars So Far (1/24/21)”

My Thoughts on the Harden Mega-Deal (1/15/21)

James Harden finally got traded. After all of the things James Harden was saying and the way he was acting, we all knew that it was going to happen. It doesn’t make the trade any less crazy, though. What makes the trade even crazier is that there are four teams involved, and Harden isn’t theContinue reading “My Thoughts on the Harden Mega-Deal (1/15/21)”

5 Impressive Players So Far (1/3/21)

The NBA has been back for a couple weeks now. Every team has played at least five games. There have been plenty of suprises and disappointments so far. Today I’ll be listing five players that have been impressive so far. It is early, so these players might come back down to earth, but for now,Continue reading “5 Impressive Players So Far (1/3/21)”

The Terrible Takes of NBA Instagram (12/31/20)

Ah, NBA Instagram. Full of a bunch of casual fans who watch one game and think they know everything. The recency bias is there. The only-knowing-big-name-players is there. The pure stupidity is there. All of these factors create a ton of awful takes. I’ve spent a couple weeks finding the absolute worst takes to writeContinue reading “The Terrible Takes of NBA Instagram (12/31/20)”
