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 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!

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?

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)”
