This might be the beginning of the end for the Dallas Mavericks. The team had a chance to fight back in the series in Game 3. A win at home would’ve been a big boost for Luka Doncic and the team. Instead, we saw yet another collapse as the Golden State Warriors clawed back from […]

Andrew Wiggins has been an underrated part of the Golden State Warriors machine in the playoffs.

The Boston Celtics’ Game 3 performance was a rollercoaster in the worst way possible. After going down big in the first half against the Heat, they proceeded to come back to within one point of their opponents. However, when they needed it most, their stars buckled. Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum both misfired on their […]

Robert Williams III has been arguably the Boston Celtics’ most important player in the playoffs. The center is the cornerstone of their stifling defense, and has allowed their stars to focus more on offense. He’s also an excellent lob threat, and is a solid dump-off option for their playmakers. So when the Celtics announced that […]

The Miami Heat shocked everyone in Game 3 when they ruled out star Jimmy Butler in the second half due to injury. Butler seemed like he was playing fine in the first half.

Kevon Looney has long been the underappreciated member of the Golden State Warriors. The UCLA big man has been a solid role player for the team ever since their 2016 runs.

To say that the Miami Heat’s Game 2 was embarrassing is an understatement. After starting off strong, the home team seemingly lost all its momentum during the first half.

A few days removed from completely annihilating the Phoenix Suns, the Dallas Mavericks looked like a different team to start the Western Conference Finals.

The Miami Heat lost in more ways than one in Game 2. Aside from getting blown out by the Boston Celtics, the team lost one of their most important players.

The Minnesota Vikings are essentially running it back next season on offense. Most of the core of the offense remained on the team, such as Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook, and Kirk Cousins. For them to see improvements next year, they’ll need to undergo evolution in the off-season. It does seem like the team is already […]

The Boston Red Sox’ 2022 campaign has been… well, not good, to say the least. After making it to the ALCS last season, the team has seemingly fallen off of a cliff. They sit at a terrible 13-21 record. It’s early in the season, but it’s safe to say that starting off like that isn’t […]

Michael Jordan is one of the greatest instigators in league history. Aside from being a phenomenal superstar, the former Chicago Bulls legend is well-known for his trash-talking ability.

Something was off about Chris Paul in Game 7 of the Phoenix Suns-Dallas Mavericks series. It was clear that the Point God wasn’t quite himself the entire game.
