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?

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)”
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)”
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)”
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)”
