Jrue Holiday has always been known to be one of the best veteran guards in the league. Aside from his contributions as a primary defender and being arguably the best defensive guard in the NBA, Holiday has been a leader everywhere he has been in his career. Between his contributions on and off the court […]

Caitlin Clark had an amazing last home game at Iowa. The Hawkeyes crowd who had Georg Kittle were loud and proud to see their Hawkeyes legend blaze up against West Virginia.

The Brooklyn Nets had clear expectations entering the 2023-24 season: a scrappy team that would compete nightly but struggle to close games against star-studded rosters.

Giannis Antetokounmpo indirectly put pressure on the Milwaukee Bucks to swing for the fences to try and convince him that the team was serious about competing for a championship to get him to stay and sign a contract extension. As a result, the Bucks traded away Jrue Holiday, a core member of their 2021 championship-winning […]

Patrick Beverley may not be putting up gaudy numbers, but his impact on the Milwaukee Bucks cannot be understated. Just ask Damian Lillard. Lillard, just like Giannis Antetokounmpo who called Beverley “my a-hole,” was full of compliments for Beverley following their showdown against the Los Angeles Clippers. Pat Bev used to play for the Clips, […]

Damian Lillard hitting clutch shots night in and night out is more of an expectation at some point.

Damian Lillard and Patrick Beverley used to be rivals on the court. Now, they are working together with eyes on a common goal — to win an NBA title for the Milwaukee Bucks. Lillard was effusive of Beverley when he recently spoke about his teammate amid Milwaukee’s scorching stretch. “There’s a lot of guys in […]

For much of the 2023-24 season, the Milwaukee Bucks’ drop-off on the defensive end of the floor has been one of the defining narratives of their season. Trading away Jrue Holiday for Damian Lillard may have been the right call when it comes to convincing Giannis Antetokounmpo that the franchise is willing to do whatever […]

The transition to being the guy with the Portland Trail Blazers to being more of a secondary option for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks hasn’t exactly been the smoothest for Damian Lillard. His numbers are down across the board, and the offensive upgrade he brought into the team has been more or less a […]

The Bucks 113-106 come-from-behind win over the Clippers had the NBA world looking at Doc Rivers differently.

The subsequent games under Rivers’s […]

While it certainly wasn’t the biggest move across the league, the Milwaukee Bucks addition of Patrick Beverley was one of the most divisive deals ahead of the trade deadline in the NBA this season.

Many players decided to rest during the All-Star break, and some even did during the 2024 All-Star Game (much to the chagrin of the NBA).
