Tag: Antonio Blakeney

It’s been a long time since Antonio Blakeney did anything of note. The season started with Blakeney getting a solid fifteen to twenty minutes per game, the perfect amount of time for him to occasionally generate a highlight-worthy statline. But his shoot-first, shoot-second, shoot-third, pass-fourth style of play must have worn thin the patience of…

The league has swung so far in favor of efficient three-point bombers and scoring totals distributed evenly among teammates that it’s almost a breath of fresh air to see a guy like Antonio Blakeney, who doesn’t really care about his teammates and will take whatever shot he wants. Players like Blakeny are in demand almost…

Before I made these highlights, I was speculating on why Antonio Blakeney didn’t get any minutes in this game after the beginning of the fourth quarter. I figured that Zach LaVine had gotten so hot by that point that Hoiberg didn’t want to play him with a guy who doesn’t pass. Maybe that guess is…

More minutes for Antonio Blakeney and Ryan Arcidiacono, fewer minutes for whatever cruddy PG-types are playing for the Bulls right now. That’s all I’m asking for. I’m speaking on behalf of Bulls fans here. Their voices may be the result of blind homerism and wishful thinking, but mine is rooted in logic and intelligence. I…

If the Bulls tank starts really picking up steam as the season goes on, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Antonio Blakeney drop a 40-burger à la Jordan Crawford. Strange to say about a guy who just now broke the 20-point barrier, but just watch him play. There’s no doubt that he can take the…

Antonio Blakeney only knows how to play one way: the chucker way. He was one of the G-League’s premiere chuckers last season, and he continued that trend (to a slightly lesser degree) whenever he got the call up the NBA. As everyone knows, the pendulum in recent times has swung away from iso-chucking madness and…

The Bulls want to lose. We know that. They want to lose so bad that they’re willing to blatantly (so blatantly that Adam Silver had to tell them not to be so blatant) rest some of their better players for no reason other than to hurt their chances of winning. So why haven’t they played…

I like Antonio Blakeney because he’s currently scoring almost thirty points per 36 minutes. I also like him because he has a flattop and because he apparently has a bunch of childhood friends who go to the comment sections on his videos and call him “Tone”, but the main draw for me is how singularly…

The first thing I thought of, immediately, when I saw Antonio Blakeney was this: Flattop-era Brandon Jennings. I’m pretty sure Jennings scored 55 with that thing on his head, so this is a good sign for Sir Blakeney. Another good sign for him: his name really goes well with the title “Sir”. This is an…
