Hopefully, Patrick Beverley is watching the NBA playoffs. And the seat boils wherever Cleveland Cavaliers president Koby Altman is watching round two. They are down 2-0 to the macho Detroit Pistons, and this series can be submitted as exhibit 319 on why James Harden isn’t on Dwyane Wade’s level. Yes, yes, Harden once upon […]
Surprisingly, the Atlanta Hawks are not a Doc Rivers team. One could have looked at Cory Kispert playing, realizing that they had conceded, or checked the scoreboard highlighting a 47-point disparity at halftime. That was the largest lead at intermission in NBA playoff history courtesy of the Knicks sacking State Farm Arena. OG […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers haven’t advanced to a Conference Finals and Finals since 2018, which was LeBron James’ last year with them. They are tied with the Toronto Raptors and Game 5 is in Cleveland on Wednesday. The stakes couldn’t be higher for the Cavs in year four of the Donovan Mitchell experience. Coach Kenny […]
The Orlando Magic are on the verge of becoming the seventh team in NBA history to beat the first seed as the eighth. Game 4 easily became one of the most important in franchise history considering the stakes and how they handled the rough times that could have flipped the edge like a light switch. […]
The Nuggets’ road trip to Minnesota was a failure, and they fell 3-1, on the verge of an early vacation, at the fangs of the Timberwolves. Keep in mind that Donte DiVicenzo tore his Achilles tendon a few minutes into the game, and Anthony Edwards couldn’t proceed in the second half after grotesquely hyperextending his […]
Pity those who are missing the action because the playoffs have been terrific, as usual. And respect to those who are sacrificing sleep to not miss a moment. The playoffs reveal who teams really are, and for many fans, it’s a gratifying or humbling experience. Let’s review what has stood out on the West side. […]
Remember when Michael Jordan, via propagandadized Last Dance tapes, said the sign of a good man is when he can talk trash when they are tied or down? Well, Jaden McDaniels coldly taunted the Nuggets after the Minnesota Timberwolves’ epic road comeback that tied round one (1-1). He has no respect for their defense, […]
It didn’t take long for Nuggets versus Timberwolves to become a special series. This is the third meeting in the last four years, which has built up animosity and on-court respect, and Game 2 should be remembered as a classic. The Wolves took a bit longer to join the party at Ball Arena, going […]
Extra days of rest can be a blessing or a curse, and it was no help for the first-seeded Detroit Pistons in Game 1. They started sloppily, and the Orlando Magic, who had wiped out the Charlotte Hornets to advance to round one on Friday, opened with more vigor and mental focus, upsetting them. […]
There was no love lost between two rivals who eliminated each other in consecutive years (2023, 2024), and Game 1 was another archetypal affair that had the nastier defense take first blood. The Nuggets came out sluggish at home after five days of rest, and spent most of the first half digging themselves out […]
