The Offseason Preview Series continues today with... The Sacramento Kings! They look way too much like the 2020s Chicago Bulls West to contend right now in the West. So can they adjust the roster to fix that? Or is entering a rebuild the right call? youtu.be/hzTIpPXNOBs

Honestly, thinking more about that Haliburton game, it’s just one of the best offensive games in a big spot in the playoffs that I have seen in forever. A total masterpiece.

The All-American Rejects house party thing is one of the smartest things I've seen in a long time. Like, the perfect band to do it because they have the right energy for it. And just a brilliant idea to get new, younger fans.

Broke down Pacers-Knicks with @motorcityhoops.bsky.social. I'm so excited for this. Think it's going to be an incredible chess match. The key we talked a ton about: can the Knicks avoid cross-matches in transition on defense with how they attack offensive glass? www.youtube.com/watch?v=41cG...

Did a write up on what I’m hearing from folks in Chicago at the combine this week. Unsurprisingly, way more focus is on overall roster building league wide versus the prospects on court. Stuff on Spurs, Bucks, 76ers at 3, and point guard prospects. www.nytimes.com/athletic/635...

Going live now! Talking the OKC-DEN game, and the rest of the last two nights of the playoffs: youtube.com/live/Ho1fy0U...

Genuinely pretty stunned that I can't remember the last time OKC legit brought Jokic into a ball-screen action. This is wild from Daigneault and Shai to not bring him into the action and instead go and try to hit mismatches and isolate.

submitted 44 days ago • 4 comments

Win or lose from here, OKC is gonna have a lot of regrets on how they played in the second half of this thing. Denver did a great job defensively muddying the picture for Shai with drive helps and showing doubles but man. The process has been so bad.
