Well, well, well, Mavs fans. Looking back on the Kristaps Porzingis trade, maybe you were right about the move being a total fleece after all. The Mavericks have significantly underperformed this season. The pairing of Porzingis and phenom point guard Luka Doncic was supposed to elevate Dallas to new heights in terms of the team’s […]

Kristaps Porzingis came into the league as the unicorn that would cure the Knicks and bring New York back to the bright lights of primetime. Then reality hit. Kristaps tore his ACL in 2018 and the Knicks did a good job of getting rid of him for nothing. All of the players they got in […]

Hairstyles aren’t the only thing changing for Julius Randle in his second season with the New York Knicks. While I’m still waiting for him to break out the shoulder shimmy, the Knicks forward has been playing more like Julius Curry this season than the Randle of old. Randle must’ve taken a master’s course on how […]

With Derrick Rose and Immanuel Quickley lighting it up off the bench lately for New York, it’s safe to say that Knicks fans have had enough of the Elfrid Payton experiment. Payton has been playing starter’s minutes throughout the season despite ranking 79th out of all NBA point guards in real plus-minus. His 11.8 player […]

I’ve yet to find a phrase more beloved by sportswriters than ‘cautious-optimism.’ You see, writers love espousing their cautious optimism because it acknowledges that, yes, shit might hit the fan, but the possibility remains that expectations could be exceeded. It is for these reasons that Knicks fans, especially, should have cautious optimism regarding the 2020-21 […]

The preseason is over. I chose not to write about it because beating the Pistons and Cavaliers is not something to write home about; especially that last preseason game. Some fans were overreacting a bit too much. It took a long time to get to this point, nine months to be exact. Last night was […]

I’m not going to lie. I really enjoyed Mitchell Robinson’s game during this his rookie year. A lot of dunks and blocks. He turned out pretty good for a second-round draft pick. Then the next year came and it was… the same thing but with more dunks and blocks and recklessness on the court with […]

While we are here in the offseason, writers are coming up with content to keep people intrigued. Where is he going? What moves can they make? Will the Knicks ever get better? To answer all these questions, all I’d really have to say nowhere, nothing, and never, but that isn’t really much fun. Instead, I’m […]

In a building in Manhattan. A group of New Yorkers looks up at the sky, and they look for an answer to the question. Will I see a point guard this season? Seriously, what in the 6th, 21st, 3rd, and 11th letters of the alphabet are going on with this team at point guard? I […]

You know what? As bad as I have been criticizing the Knicks, they have a shot to win the East. Yeah, I said it. The reason is that the East has been in shambles for the last 20 years. Ever since THE SECOND BEST PLAYER EVER, Michael Jordan retired the East has been a mess. […]

Well, we made it through the NBA Draft. It was a night of odd picks, great talents slipping, and oddly few trades. However, NBA draft producers never fail to disappoint on the entertainment component of the draft. We had player features, consistent analysis, strong outfits, and a smoothly run draft for a virtual format. Let’s […]

God damn is the best way for me to start this because I don’t know what the hell was I watching last night. After Patrick Williams got taken with the 4th pick. The draft was in shambles. There were some players drafted WAY TOO HIGH like Jalen Smith and Isiah Stewart and there were people […]
