WHAT THEY TRIED IN 2018-19Make the playoffs, picture Dwyane Wade performing to a primetime audience one final time. Basic cable.WHAT HAPPENED IN 2018-1939-43, ninth in the Eastern ConferenceWade (15 points per game in 26 minutes a Miami Nite, two starts) came to ball. The 37-year old propped up the Heat in dynamic ways that rang well beyond his occasional last-second theatrics.The rest of the club wasn’t up for much: Goran Dragic sat 50 games, Dion Waiters 38, and fancy-passing Justise Winslow

WHAT THEY TRIED IN 2018-19To deliver on Fred Hoiberg’s promise as an NBA head coach, shuttling spacey prospects around until the rest of the league couldn’t catch up with whatever the Bulls already executed. Establish Jabari Parker as a superstar Chicago could call “home.”WHAT HAPPENED IN 2018-1922-60, thirteenth in the Eastern ConferenceParker sucked, Hoiberg couldn’t survive a 5-19 start to the season: I think he coaches football at Nebraska now.Former volunteer high school football assistant Jim

Dennis Rodman’s wildest (basketball) weekend

2019/07/24

(Never Too Much podcast: Three years! And we appreciate the Knicks! We often fear them.)The Chicago Bulls wrapped up a home win over the New York Knicks in Game 2 of the 1996 Eastern semis on a Tuesday, May 7. A boon for Chicago, as the NBA didn’t schedule Game 3 until Saturday. The Bulls, up 2-0 following two bouts with Knickerbocker bruisers, were in pain. “The wear and tear of playing close to 100 games” caught up to Michael Jordan (back spasms) in the opening round, Jordan removed himself from

Kawhi Leonard tracks out of Toronto

2019/07/06

Kawhi Leonard got what he wanted. All he had to do first was win a championship for the entire country of Canada ahead of settling in on the dismantling of a team from Oklahoma City. From there, Kawhi signed with the Los Angeles Clippers. Four years and $141 million to play for what looks like the best collection of talent in the NBA at the moment. Thunder star Paul George will join Leonard as California-raised Clippers, George became a member of the organization on Friday night when the Clippers

Kyle Lowry has the floor

2019/05/26

The note that began, can also destroy.“Lowry on floor.”After that jot, a bunch of scratches about passwork, trust on offense, the nonsense I usually stick the word “alacrity” into later. Quick decisions! Room for alternate reads! More basketball s**t, then, again:“Lowry diving.”Notes about transition defense, baskets being taken away, baskets becoming earned, and then the first repeated note of the evening:“Lowry on floor.”More and more notes, pages of them. Critical, enduring moments bled into blue

The 1986 NBA draft lottery

The Second Arrangement ·

2019/05/14

Up until ESPN took over, the NBA’s lottery took place on a weekend. Up until 2002, when the Rockets won the right to draft Yao Ming midway through a Boston Celtics/New Jersey Nets Eastern finals tilt, the drawing was shoved within the sort of space that suited it — 15 minutes of draft gab in between actual basketball. Honest-to-greatness NBA playoff games saw their halftime spaces interrupted by the sad state of seven-to-14 sacks of sometimes-smiling team representatives sucking up the seats in

Behind the Boxscore: Denver gets weird

2019/05/02

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE!!Portland 97, Denver 90 (series tied 1-1)Nikola Jokic relayed late on Wednesday that Trail Blazers “didn’t even play that good” in Portland’s Game 2 victory, and he wasn’t incorrect.“They can play better than that,” Jokic qualified, kindly. There was no malice or Westbrook-sized skunk to the Nugget center’s scouting report, he was correct in his estimation that Damian Lillard (5-17 shooting) and C.J. McCollum (8-20) typically contribute better performances, and that Portland in

Gettin' kitten with the Detroit Pistons

2019/04/24

The Pistons’ problem is that Detroit knows its basketball.Your Detroit Pistons were in the top-10 in attendance every year in the 1990s and it ranked either first or second in Butts Seated from 2002 through 2009. People get out to watch the Pistons when the effort is warranted. The Pistons have a new arena, I been there and it’s awesome, downtown Detroit is beautiful and the rest of the clubs in the city’s sporting ecosystem are struggling, in relative terms. The Tigers lost 98 games last season,

HELLO ONE AND ALL!!Utah 118, Phoenix 97Utah’s starting lineup (minus Ricky, still without Derrick Favors and his bum back) sparked a dud, Phoenix ran out to an early lead and even reigned by 13 at one point.Devin Booker left the game with an ankle injury around the same time Donovan Mitchell (29 points) began to develop his wind. Around that same issue, Dragan Bender began to consider the math needed to line up four three-pointers in an NBA game.He’d miss each, the Suns’ most reliable scorer was

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE!!Portland 122, New Orleans 110If you are here to figure out why Julius Randle scored 45 against Portland, understand that the Trail Blazers can’t guard your screen and roll and that PDX has a little trouble meeting bodies coming through the rye (at the front of the rim). This was in place well before Randle started tapping his way past 30.The Blazers weren’t alone in the giveback. At one stretch in the contest Portland fielded Enes Kanter and Zach Collins up front against the

2019/03/06

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE!!Boston 128, Golden State 95The Celtics won this game because Boston stopped trying to figure out what was wrong with themselves long enough to concentrate on what was beatable on the other side. Nothing is wrong with the Warriors, either, this was only a basketball game that Boston won handily.The contest did highlight just how f*****g important Klay Thompson is to these Warriors, the band was begging for scores in spots during this performance and Thompson (who delivered

GOOD MORNING PEOPLE!!Orlando 103, Golden State 96Basketball has a clock and the game still demands that you work up intelligent output within the clock’s terms. Time’s flat circle even exists within Orlando, a place we’ve all spent a month in (one weekend). Your hometown Magic did not play exceedingly well in this win, but the club’s shots went in and the defense was pointed and accurate enough to reel in the victory. Terrence Ross was around for a lot of it. Golden State wasted its fourth quarter,
