In yet another loss against the Houston Rockets, Bradley Beal couldn’t help but to let his emotions just take over, as he sat on the bench shaking his head and virtually crying. So let me tell you why his story is the biggest tragedy in the NBA this season. What up everybody my name is Stefan and this is Heat Check. Let’s get into it. The same thing happened yesterday as well- during Washington’s latest game against the Pelicans. His 47 points 4 rebounds 6 assists and 4 steals weren’t enough as the Wizards fell to 3 and 11 for the season. And you can see the genuine disappointment in his eyes and body language. After the game Beal was asked if he’s frustrated. And his answer was simple: Is the sky blue? Bradley is doing everything in his power to will this Washington team, but it’s just not enough. Look at this: He has now lost 10 straight games with 40 points or more. Alone at the top of this infamous list. With 35 and a half points per game on 48% shooting he is the highest scorer in the NBA so far this season. But again, all that for nothing. So I have to mention this: When he signed that big contract, I immediately came out with a video and said that he made a mistake. However I do love the loyalty, and the fact that Beal loves the city and is so close in the community but at the same time, this is not a team like Portland, or Milwaukee, or Boston. Contending rosters that just cannot get over the hump. To get out of a situation like those and go to another team could possibly be portrayed as a bad move by the media. But the Wizards are nowhere close to that. Even with the Westbrook trade I said that it doesn’t change anything. I had them in the 7-8 range in terms of standings and an early playoff exit. But by no means did I expect this. And obviously Bradley wasn’t expecting it either. The question now is: 1. With all of these videos of him clearly showing his displeasure and disappointment- is there possibly a chance for him to ask for a trade? And if not- then number 2: How long until the Wizards pull the trigger themselves and finally go into a full rebuild mode, a couple of seasons later than they maybe should have? If there’s a perfect time- it definitely is right now. They are dead last in the entire league, and even with the new and updated draft lottery format, Washington will still get a high draft pick. Combine that with a few more that they could get for the hottest commodity on the market right now in Bradley Beal, and there is a legit start for a rebuild. As for Beal himself, he could make any of the playoff teams an instant title contender. That could be the best possible solution for both sides. A struggling franchise looking for a fresh start, and a loyal but disappointed superstar, that just wants to win. We’ll see how this one ends, but I have a feeling that a trade could be in the works pretty soon. That’s it for now, subscribe and talk to you in the next one. Peace out.

Luka got tackled by Kris Dunn last night! But the Lakers responded with some genius plays down the stretch. So, let’s start from the beginning of the city rivals game where Doncic got super busy! Oh Oooh, when he starts pulling up 3’s from way downtown, you know you’re in trouble. And the best thing is, he was just heating up. Heat Check! Luka went crazy in the opening minutes, hitting 5 of 5 from beyond the arc. And he was staring at the Clippers bench after each and every one of them. His hot streak ended on the next possession when he initially got the whistle for 3 free throws, but after the challenge by Ty Lue, the call got overturned. This only added fuel to the fire because… Doncic with the block on Harden on one end and then the tough layup in transition! It was a full display of his arsenal as Luka counted to 24 points in the 1st quarter! Unbelievable! And speaking of that, check this out!Kobe Brown exploded to the rack, putting both Laravia and Kleber on a poster! Despite Luka’s brilliance, the Clippers actually had a 1 point lead after 12 minutes of action. #nba #lukadoncic #lakers
