We're Talking Hoops, Not Talking Heads
After a successful season as a full-time starter in Oklahoma City last season, Jerami Grant was shipped out to Denver where he was immediately slotted as a backup for recumbent veteran Paul Millsap. Grant has been an impact player for Denver as the first man off the bench, but I've been hungry to see him [...]
After perhaps one of the worst shooting months ever recorded by a rookie (28.7% from the field and 21.3% from 3 across 17 games), or by a player in general, Cam Reddish received a multitude of "bust" labels from analyst and fans alike. Speaking honestly, I was extremely disheartened watching Reddish struggle this season. I [...]
Today, 9 people lost their lives in a helicopter crash, Kobe Bryant among them. I finished up recording a podcast and upon grabbing my phone, I had numerous messages asking if I'd heard about Kobe Bryant. Checking my twitter feed and confirming his passing put me in a state of utter disbelief. Taking the news [...]
As a lifelong Pacers fan and relatively new NBA writer/podcaster, I've tried to avoid writing or speaking about Indiana in excess in order to maintain a non-biased and omniscient view of the league. However, Doug McDermott's play and growth this year has not gotten enough praise, so I hope to shine some light on his [...]
Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris is a key part of Denver's rotation, likely an All-Defense candidate, and a quality all-around player. He's having a solid season in his 6th year putting up 11ppg/2.8rpg/2.2apg on 42.1% fg/31.6% 3p/82.3% FT while routinely guarding the opposing team's best guard. However, a few years ago, I and many others [...]

Overall this trade is a positive for both teams, although there's potential that this backfires for the Timberwolves. Swapping Expirings For Atlanta, this is a low cost [...]
Just under a month ago, December 23rd, the Utah Jazz released forward Jeff Green after a rough start to the season. While it is very possible that he may be picked up by another team, the 11 year vet appears near the end of his career. I originally wasn't planning to write on this, but [...]
https://twitter.com/the_fullcourt/status/1214578804309610496 Why the Jazz make this Trade Mike Conley has been out with injury since early December, and prior to that he was struggling greatly to integrate into Utah's offense. While it would seem logical to continue to roll with this team and try to make things work with Conley once he returns, I would [...]
The Lakers currently own a 29-7 record, the 5th best offense and 3rd best defense in the league, and are four games ahead of the Clippers. So, why the hell am I worried? Both Anthony Davis and LeBron James are in the top 20 in both Usage Percentage and Minutes Per Game. This has already [...]
As I talked about in my most recent podcast, the Nuggets have been a team on the rise over the past month. After a torrid month lead by the stellar play of Nikola Jokic, I'm impressed, but also trying to get a feel for how the rest of this team pieces together. While the frontcourt [...]
