Bucks Off-Season Wishlist (5/17/22)
With their loss on Sunday, the 2021 NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks fell short of a return to the Finals in disappointing fashion. A combination of putrid shooting and a questionable defensive scheme led to the game seven collapse. Now that their season is over, it’s time to start thinking about what will be an importantContinue reading “Bucks Off-Season Wishlist (5/17/22)”
Unsung Heroes of the Playoffs (5/10/22)
As 2022 playoff basketball rages on, it’s difficult to keep tabs on all of the happenings. Without multiple games played every night, it’s easy to miss the little things if you can’t catch every contest. Because of that, I want to stop and take a breather in the madness that is playoff hoops and shineContinue reading “Unsung Heroes of the Playoffs (5/10/22)”
Thaddeus Young- Toronto’s Key to Success (4/24/22)
Thaddeus Young has been in the NBA for a long time. Drafted in 2007, he has shared the court with many all-time greats. LeBron, Kobe, Shaq, Duncan, Wade, Durant, Dirk, Giannis, the list goes on. He’s had some solid seasons himself, as he averaged 14 points per game across seven years with the Philadelphia 76ers.Continue reading “Thaddeus Young- Toronto’s Key to Success (4/24/22)”
2021-22 NBA Award Show (4/18/22)
Another fantastic NBA regular season has come and gone, and it is once again time for NBA award selection. Picking my winners was tough this year. There wasn’t a clear winner for a single accolade, and there were a lot of guys I wanted to show love to. Just like last year, I will giveContinue reading “2021-22 NBA Award Show (4/18/22)”
Derrick White: Boston’s X Factor (4/13/22)
The Boston Celtics have been one of the best teams in the NBA since the trade deadline. They boast a record of 20-6 post-deadline, and a major factor in that success is their defense. Boston ended the regular season with a defensive rating of 106.2, ranking them at the top of the league. It’s easyContinue reading “Derrick White: Boston’s X Factor (4/13/22)”
I Become the GM of the Los Angeles Lakers (4/8/22)
The Lakers have been eliminated from playoff contention. That’s freakin’ wild. Whether you want to pin it on injuries, roster construction, coaching, or age, the fact that a team led by arguably the greatest player ever and two other superstars didn’t even make the play-in is crazy stuff. It’s even crazier that a team withContinue reading “I Become the GM of the Los Angeles Lakers (4/8/22)”
Grand Theft Alvarado: The League’s Most Entertaining Backup Guard (3/30/22)
You might recognize the name Jose Alvarado from this video: If you haven’t seen that, there’s a chance you wouldn’t know who he is. I didn’t either prior to this season. I first learned the name Jose Alvarado during a game in November where his enthusiasm on the bench stood out to me. At theContinue reading “Grand Theft Alvarado: The League’s Most Entertaining Backup Guard (3/30/22)”
Oshae Brissett: The Unseen Gem of Indiana’s Rebuild (3/26/22)
At the trade deadline, the Indiana Pacers finally hit the reset button. After years spent stuck in mediocracy (and being seemingly content with it), a roster overhaul was long overdue. Now, the team is filled with exciting young talent. Tyrese Haliburton, who Indiana received in return for Domantas Sabonis, is a fantastic core piece forContinue reading “Oshae Brissett: The Unseen Gem of Indiana’s Rebuild (3/26/22)”
Markelle Fultz is Back and Ballin’ (3/17/22)
When he was selected first overall in 2017, Markelle Fultz was supposed to be the savior of The Process. He was oozing with talent and upside. Then came the injuries. A rare condition called thoracic outlet syndrome destroyed Markelle’s shooting ability and held him to just 33 games in his first two seasons. He wasContinue reading “Markelle Fultz is Back and Ballin’ (3/17/22)”
Lonnie Walker’s Ascension and What it Means for the Spurs (3/4/22)
The 2022 Rodeo Road Trip was a sensational one for Lonnie Walker IV. He scored 17+ points in six straight games, and his 30-point performance at home last night against Sacramento extended that streak to seven. Lonnie has shown flashes of his scoring ability throughout his career. He’s pulled off absurdly acrobatic lay-ups like thisContinue reading “Lonnie Walker’s Ascension and What it Means for the Spurs (3/4/22)”
