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)”

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)”
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)”
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)”
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)”
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)”
NBA 2021 Opening Night! (12/23/20)
(I wrote this article on the 22nd, but I edited and posted it on the 23rd. That’s why I’ll say tonight instead of last night, and things like that.) Today, after 71 long days, NBA basketball returned. You best believe that I skipped gaming with the guys so I could watch basketball (that’s something thatContinue reading “NBA 2021 Opening Night!

2021 NBA Power Rankings (12/21/20)
The 2020-21 NBA season starts tomorrow! Hurray! It hasn’t even been that long since we last had basketball, but it feels like a long time. I’m going to be watching basketball all week (The Christmas day games will definitely be playing while we are at my Grandma’s). So these are my preseason power rankings. IContinue reading “2021 NBA Power Rankings (12/21/20)”
Rudy Gobert’s New Deal/Who Deserves a Supermax? (12/20/20)
Rudy Gobert just got a big-time bag. 5 years, $205 million. That’s the largest contract ever for a big man. Did he deserve it? No! Rudy Gobert is an overappreciated player. He’s the fifth best center in the NBA going into the season (behind Jokic, Embiid, KAT, and Bam), and he could fall lower thanContinue reading “Rudy Gobert’s New Deal/Who Deserves a Supermax?
