It’s been a rough road for former Kentucky Wildcat, PJ Washington, and the Dallas Mavericks in these 2024 NBA Playoffs. After dropping the first two games in Boston, they nearly pulled off a comeback win at home in Game 3 but faltered after Luka Doncic fouled out late in the 4th quarter. Facing a sweep in Game 4 on Friday, the Mavericks did not sail off quietly into the night. Instead, they beat the Celtics’ heads in. This one was a blowout from the opening tip, as Luka Doncic, who received all kinds of criticism in the last few days for acting like the NBA was European soccer with his constan...

PJ Washington was the second-leading scorer for the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday night, but it was the bucket he didn’t score that was the highlight of the game. You were probably busy watching the Kentucky baseball team punch their ticket to Omaha when it happened, but with the Mavs down five with less than a minute to go, Washington got the ball on a fast break. As he went up for what looked like an easy two points, both Derrick White and Jaylen Brown converged on him and turned away the dunk attempt at the rim. Boston scored on the ensuing possession to put them up for good as they held on to...

The University of Kentucky holds the greatest tradition in the history of men’s college basketball, but throughout the years, success at the next level hasn’t been as prominent. That began to change with John Calipari’s one-and-done system over the last 15 years, which produced over 50 NBA players from out of the Joe Craft Center. That being said, only two former Wildcats who played under Calipari have been part of an NBA Finals-winning team. Anthony Davis won a title with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020 before Jamal Murray won one with the Denver Nuggets last season. DeMarcus Cousins ultimatel...

Up until this year’s NBA trade deadline, PJ Washington spent the entirety of his NBA career on the Charlotte Hornets. While he had always been good for the Hornets, the franchise itself hadn’t been so good. Charlotte had only won 40+ games once since Washington was drafted in 2019, and that was in the 2021-22 season. So, when Washington was dealt to the Mavericks, who were 29-23 at the time, ahead of this season’s trade deadline, you could say he got an upgrade. After acquiring the former All-SEC selection, the Mavericks went 21-9 to finish 50-32 in the regular season, and they have since made...

The Western Conference Finals were largely one-sided as the Dallas Mavericks held firm control throughout the series. The Minnesota Timberwolves’ defense was just no match for the offensive firepower that Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving produced. As a result, former Kentucky forward PJ Washington and the Mavericks steam-rolled the Timberwolves in Game 5, advancing to the NBA Finals following a 124-103 victory. Despite a rough start to the series, Karl-Anthony Towns wound up being one of the more positive points of focus for the Timberwolves. In what would be their last game of the season, KAT sco...

With help from PJ Washington, the 5-seed Dallas Mavericks went into Minnesota and stole Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the 3-seed Timberwolves. Washington, who averaged 14.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game through the first two postseason series, nearly hit both benchmarks on Wednesday night. The 6-foot-9 forward chipped in 13 points, seven rebounds, and two blocks in the Mavericks’ tight 108-105 victory. Washington hit a pair of triples, marking the ninth Playoff game in a row he’s made at least two shots from deep. He played just a hair under 41 minutes — the most among any...

Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals between the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder was a thriller, and PJ Washington, once again, was the unlikely hero. The Mavericks found themselves down by as many as 17 in the second half and a Game 7 looked certain, but the home team went on a flurry in the 4th quarter to steal the 117-116 victory and advance to the Western Conference Finals. And of course, both former Kentucky stars were the two central figures in the final play of the game. Down by one as seconds ticked down, PJ Washington got the ball in the corner and went up to attempt...

In a series that features All-Stars Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving, and former Kentucky guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, it’s been PJ Washington who has tipped this series to one side. During Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals on Saturday in Dallas, Washington poured in 27 points on 11-23 overall shooting, including a 5-12 mark from long range. This comes just two days after he finished with 29 points (on seven made triples) in a Game 2 win for the Dallas Mavericks. Washington struggled in Game 1 against Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he’s a massive reason why the Mave...

If you were a Kentucky Wildcat fan during the two years PJ Washington was on campus, you undoubtedly screamed, “Hit ’em with that mean mug, PJ!” more than once during a game. On Friday, PJ hit ’em with that mean mug so hard, he got ejected. The Dallas Mavericks steamrolled the LA Clippers in Game 3 of the Western Conference first round. The final score was 101-90, but it wasn’t that close. The Mavs got up big early and maintained a 20-point advantage most of the game until the end-of-the-bench players (including BJ Boston) came in late and made the score look more respectable than it was. The ...

The Dallas Mavericks were on a mission Tuesday night in Los Angeles. After getting beat 109-97 by the LA Clippers in Game 1 on Sunday, Dallas stepped it up in Game 2. Led by star duo Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, the 5-seeded Mavs tied the series up 1-1 on Tuesday night with a 96-93 victory in LA. Although he was not the leading scorer, former Kentucky Wildcat PJ Washington played some vital minutes for the Mavericks in a massive road win. The Western Conference first-round series will now head to Dallas for Games 3 and 4. Washington Shines from DeepScoring zero points in the first quarter mig...
