NBA Breakfast Special: LeBron And The Canton Charge

December 20, 2017 - by Fox Doucette

As complete wastes of a great night went, LeBron James scoring 39 points for the Cleveland Cavaliers but watching his team play like a G-League outfit in losing to the Milwaukee Bucks 119-116 Tuesday night has got to rank right up there. Sure, LeBron had seven turnovers, and sure, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Eric Bledsoe went for 27 and 26 respectively and shot a combined 60 percent (18-of-30) to average 1.77 points per shot while between them having fewer turnovers (six) in 72 minutes than LeBron had in 34, but the simple fact remains that when the GOAT goes for 39, …

NBA Breakfast Special: Like A Good Neighbor, Chris Paul Is There

December 8, 2017December 7, 2017 - by Fox Doucette

The Utah Jazz have turned back into a pumpkin offensively, and questions must now be raised whether Rudy Gobert is doing more harm than good to the team since his presence tends to turn Utah’s offense into a clogged toilet. There are more questions than that, however. Donovan Mitchell has turned into the focal point and the primary scorer—and his team-high 26 points in Utah’s 112-101 loss to the Houston Rockets on national TV Thursday night certainly spoke to that development—but what is the rest of the offense doing? Ricky Rubio‘s not facilitating, and he’s not the kind of player …

NBA Breakfast Special: Bradley Beal Eats All the Voodoo Donuts

December 6, 2017December 5, 2017 - by Fox Doucette

The Washington Wizards recovered nicely from the pure embarrassment of getting smacked by the Utah Jazz on Monday, and on a SEGABABA in Portland, Bradley Beal went for 51 points, nearly half the output of the 106-92 win over the Trail Blazers. Also, I don’t want to hear a word out of you Oregonians, because there is no UGH in donut. Even if it says so on the sign. You can put golden arches on a Jack in the Box, it’s still a Jack in the Box, and you can put three unnecessary letters in donut, it’s still dunkable for …

Look, I’m just going to leave this here and go eat some breakfast. I’ll be right back. 😎😂 (sound on) pic.twitter.com/KGg8bB1AVi — NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) November 10, 2017 OK, let’s get this show started. Lonzo Ball Is Still Garbage And Everyone Still Knows It OK, you all know how I keep calling Lonzo Ball “Dollar Store Westbrook” around here. Tonight was a prime example of why. Ball had 10 points, eight rebounds, and eight assists. And you’d see that and think “whoa, he almost got a triple-double, that’s great!” Until you realize he shot 3-of-12 from the field, 1-of-7 …

Is This 2018 NBA Team Any Good?: Washington Wizards

September 29, 2017October 16, 2017 - by Fox Doucette - Leave a Comment

by Fox Doucette John Wall and the Wizketeers started last season 2-8. They finished it 3-5. In between, they went 44-20. Wall and company gave the Celtics all they wanted and nearly snuck into the Eastern Conference Finals out of the four seed, in the process perpetrating the brutal murder of the Atlanta Hawks as an NBA entity and precipitating the rebuild in the 404 that we’ll get to tomorrow. But for now, the question becomes was Washington’s 49-win campaign and solid playoff run a sign of things to come, or just a sign that the East is legitimately that …
