When the Rockets were in the playoffs competing for a championship during the Chris Paul era, Luc Mbah a Moute got injured and played through the injury. But he didn’t know what to do now that his injury prevented him from dunking the ball. And I tweeted to him, don’t […]

The Pelicans have started wearing fluro green and black this season, which regardless of what they say, is done because they liked the look of the Dallas Stars. The Stars already had green in their uniforms though. It doesn’t make sense for the Pelicans to wear green. A neon blue […]

The Miami Heat have focussed on adding players that can stretch the floor such as Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic, but they lack toughness compared to Jaime Jaquez Jr. Bam will appreciate the toughness that Jaime Jaquez Jr. brings. Jaime Jaquez Jr. is not only a good basketball player; he’s […]

The sports team you ought to support is the one you want to watch. There is no need to think any deeper than that. If your team is resulting in you no longer watching the sport, you no longer like that team. With this understanding, you should try to choose […]

50% of me loves Nikola Jovic and the other 50% worries about him. His mechanics are very good, and he is what we have come to know of European players: tall, good mechanics, and good shooters. The part that worries me is his health. He has missed time already as […]

Do newer NBA players always outplay players from the past? There is a common argument that Michael Jordan wouldn’t compete with more recent players because the game has advanced. As I browse the league today, there is no new player who could match Ray Allen at what he did. There’s […]

I traded Ja Morant for Scoot Henderson and a high to mid first (2024). It’s not that I don’t believe in Morant; it’s that once you start getting into trouble, it’s very difficult to break the cycle. It’s not only Morant who may get himself into trouble. Everyone else who […]

It’s concerning to hear Eric Gordon say that he’d like to shoot the ball more. Gordon is one of the best shooters in NBA history. He has by far the best mechanics on the Suns’ roster for shooting. Generally, Gordon should be shooting when he’s open naturally. The fact that […]

Mario Chalmers was a much better point guard to a Big 3 than Rajon Rondo was. Rondo heard one too many commentators refer to the Celtics as a Big 4. They weren’t a Big 4. The reason Rondo appeared to have so much value was because of the attention the […]

Kyle Lowry, who will go down as one of the best undrafted point guards in history, and certainly in the Miami Heat’s history, was getting too old for what this team needed from him. I watched several Miami Heat games today. Terry Rozier hasn’t been great statistically for the Heat […]

Precious Achiuwa has a chance to be an all-time great center for the Knicks. If he can play 5 healthy seasons, he could be in the top 10. The sky is the limit from there. Mitchell Robinson was meant to be that guy, but has had too many injuries now. […]

JJ Reddick recently said to Lebron James on the Mind The Game podcast that screen assists, aka the man setting the screen that aids in scoring, should be a box score statistic. Lebron James concurred or at least was willing to be agreeable at the time during the conversation. I […]

This is a thread dedicated to JJ Redick’s Mind the Game basketball podcast, which I think is going to share lots of great information about the technical side of basketball. Even those of us who love the game can lose interest if we don’t keep up with the X’s and […]

Anthony Davis has game-worn jerseys in his man cave. I’m sure many other NBA players do too. Game-worn memorabilia is popular to collect by sports fans of all ages. One of the coolest things to happen to sports trading cards was the idea of including a jersey relic in the […]

I’m surprised to see Chauncey Billups go to the Hall of Fame. I respect his game, but he wasn’t a superstar. The HOF should be reserved for superstar talent and ability only. Billups himself didn’t suggest he ever was a superstar. He said he should be elected based on how […]

The Heat should look to sign Jonas Valanciunas only if he plays backup C on a team-friendly deal. He & Abebayo can’t stretch the floor enough if they’re on the floor at the same time. I am a risk taker. If Abedayo proves he has a 3-point shot this offseason, […]
