Shai Gilgeous-Alexander saw his rotation change last night, I asked him, Mark Daigneault and Jalen Williams about it - thought it shed light on the trust they all have in one another and SGA's leadership: www.si.com/nba/thunder/...

This helmet is visibly caved in

New League Pass Recs are live. Feat. Josh Hart’s motor and the Grizz’s woodshed. Jay Huff’s giving free rides over the oceans of Europa. Wear your bolo.

Laughing at some of these quotes from Mark & players in Vegas today. The NBA and reporters are trying so hard to get them to say something about the NBA Cup feeling different/being its own thing/etc. No one bit and they all down played it. No wonder we can’t get any calls. 🤣 I love this team.

For your Heisman consideration: Ashton Jeanty is up to 2,497 rushing yards, 30 total TDs and 7.25 yards per carry. He's 131 away from Barry Sanders' single-season official record (353 from unofficial record). 12-1, MW champ, CFP appearance, possible first-round bye, backflip

This is now (by far) the highest vert on any recorded dunk this year, beating the previous top dunker: also Sharpe

I feel like as a hater/neutral observer, this is objectively the outcome that creates the most potential for angst. Don't know how you neuter him in public and then expect recruiting to improve. But I'm just a doge on the internet

Anthony Edwards has a self-censored message for Carson Beck and Georgia football

ive just been staring at this

Mark Daigneault notes that Lu Dort has been playing through what he described as "mallet finger." Dort has been wearing a cast of sorts since the Dallas game on his shooting hand's pinky. Says Dort has "shut up about it," playing through different tapes and treatments.

They really fired Zach Lowe for this

Still got a character limit here, so take this screenshot of an interesting Isaiah Hartenstein quote from last night:

There's a widespread expectation among league sources that when Brandon Ingram's 15 days are up and he is eligible to sign with a new agency, he will sign with Klutch. Obviously none of this is official yet because it can't be.

Shai was asked tonight what's keeping him from being a complete player. He went down the list: - decision making - physicality defensively - focus - off-ball defense - shotmaking (not sure he believes this) - deep paint decisions -play off the catch "I'm really self critical,” he said.

Wallace starts in place of Jalen Williams for the second half.

No Dub to start the second half… brutal.

Thunder shooting only 29% from 3 at half. Have 8 turnovers and are losing in fast break points, too.

Cason back in 🙏

Caso comes up hobbled after that steal and layup. We can’t catch a break.

so is this like Pat Spencer's side hustle or is he a full-time NBA player

Me: “I bet Wiggins or Podz or Buddy go off against us without Steph and make this closer than it should be.” Cam Spencer:

Man, Cason and Wiggins both looking great. Great rebound there from Kenny. He finally looks healthy again from those back issues.

Really like all the options OKC has out of horns with Isaiah Joe and Isaiah Hartenstein screening for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. They should go back to that early and often.

Box score shows Dub with two steals and a block, but I swore he has 3. Insanity.

Jalen Williams is playing some insane defense holy shit. This is probably the most active I’ve seen him out the gate

Not sure we’ve seen each of Dub and Shai come out this aggressive in tandem to start a game. Usually comes in the second half. This is fun.

OKC has had serious injury misfortune, but has had a pretty fortunate schedule. Through 17 games it’s seen: No-KD Suns No-Paolo Magic No-nobody Pels No-Murray or Gordon Nuggets No-Luka Mavs No-Wemby Spurs *No-Kawhi Clips x2* And now the no-Curry Warriors tonight (knee).

Steph Curry (knee) OUT against Thunder

What a game

Lord in heaven the Notre Dame Fighting Irish

OMG

Allocco going insane 🤣

Some are saying it’s even, “very nice”.

Overtime Pt. 2! That was rough from Harper. Should’ve passed to Ace.

Madness in the basketball world tonight. Basketball is very good.

YES!!! NBA on TNT gives us HD video of Jalen Rose's iconic broadcast moment

Charles goes 0-6 on his parlay "Is it my fault LeBron's a bum?"

It ultimately comes down to cash but if this is the standard the #SEC should end the 9 conference game talk and go to pods. Pods would pretty much make 4 a year a given most years.
