Just four years ago, in the 2017-18 season, the Phoenix Suns were awful. They were last in the league in offensive and defensive ratings. Young star Devin Booker was playing for a team where his second best player was T.J. Warren (pre-bubble, of course). Their recent lottery picks, Dragan Bender and Josh Jackson, weren’t performingContinue reading “The Epic Turnaround of the Phoenix Suns (7/4/21)”

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.

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).

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)”
