I will avoid deeply discussing the major topic of last week in the NBA, which is none other than the arrest of both Terry Rozier and Chauncey Billups by the FBI for alleged illegal gambling, by leaving it to just that in general maybe the professional sports leagues embracing gambling was a bad idea and […]

No, it’s just not based on a famous movie’s title that was based on the existential dread one feels when watching Clippers get destroyed by an eventual 15-win team. Today’s title describes today’s official state of mind. We’ve talked about, they’ve talked about it, everyone’s talked about it; with Victor Wembanyama heading into his year-3 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Well, took a couple weeks off for Christmas break and time with family. By family, I mean in-laws, so it was more survival, but did feel as if the time was well spent not writing and pretty much ignoring the NBA. Back into it now, and weird, almost sinister doings are afoot. Suns: A lot […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Fresh off a victory against the Celtics (105-92) after holding them to a historic franchise low 12-points in the fourth quarter, the Thunder and Cavs are now on a collision course this week. Crazily enough, we’re talking about two elite and young teams that have not lost against the opposite conference, both sharing 15-game winning […]

One thing the NBA is trying to do is make this play-in tournament thing happen. You can count on teams playing their guys normal minutes, or even extended minutes for these games. The next game? All bets are off, and guys are resting left and right. Same goes to back to back games, but that […]

So we’re at that special time and place when all NBA teams have played at least 10 games and most are around or near the dozen mark. And as many of you have seen, even if you just merely peruse the injury list from time to time, know that the (generally) first 10-12 game sample […]

See, look guys, a theme! I can’t stress the importance enough of monitoring minutes. One thing I should mention, I won’t make notes about blowout games. Yes, I’m talking to you Golden State and Portland. Those minute distributions won’t be accurate. The rest though are gold. Pacers and Pistons: Andrew Nembhard hit 34 minutes, Bennedict […]

Well, the season is officially complete and boy, did the drama at the end of the season not disappoint. If you love seeding (as much as yo momma), the last day of the season was totally created for you… and in case you missed the craziness that was the NBA Playoff bracket this passed week, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I know, I tried to predict trades. That didn’t work out. I tried to predict stuff. That’s like, really-really hard guys. So here’s some final takeaways as the NBA enters silly season…. Lakers They signed Spencer Dinwiddie, and last night he logged 31 minutes with 7 Ast. The shot volume wasn’t there, but this guy […]

Three game slate last night… I watched the TNT game; Sixers vs. Nuggets, and was highly entertained. The Nuggets continue to have a very stable rotation and there’s not really any takeaways unless someone gets hurt. Nobody got hurt. Same with the Sixers. Just sit back and enjoy Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid go head-to-head, […]

You know my love for NBA stats so it is once again fun stats time and we move to Portland as Stephen Curry failed to hit a three pointer in the Warriors match against the Trailblazers. That ended his streak of 268 consecutive games of hitting at least a triple, which is obviously the current […]
