Steph's historic night provides a reminder that he's aging and very slightly fading. Is he still enough? Is the revamping supporting cast enough? Is there enough hope kindled to make this season a fount of happiness? open.substack.com/pub/ziller/p...

The really good version of the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is the one that's currently on TV, is in my opinion the coolest any NBA team has been since the early Curry Administration Warriors. There's a ton of fun stuff to watch on both ends, and when that fails SGA just does crazy hooper shit.

Also: the weekend NBA slate is loaded with promising, high-stakes games. NYK-CLE, NYK-BOS, LAL-DEN, MIN-HOU, GSW-SAC, GSW-DAL, OKC-MIN, MEM-CLE, MIA-MIL. Many of them on ABC or ESPN!

I really enjoyed @howardbeck.bsky.social's piece on NBA expansion skepticism (www.theringer.com/2025/02/18/n...). But the question I kept coming back to is: what and who are expansion for? ziller.substack.com/p/what-and-w.... Geography is a hugely important factor in building fandom.

A reader asked me what it would look like if I did an @actioncookbook.com post, but I don't really cook, so you get my recipe for the Double Decker Breakfast Quesadilla. open.substack.com/pub/ziller/p...

Rodger's newsletter is consistently thought-provoking, well researched, and funny. This one hit the trifecta.

Wrote about the only thing that has ever happened, which is the Luka trade. In an entertainment business in which maximizing and maximally monetizing your audience is the purpose, isn't alienating fans like this a bad idea, even if you really believe in the move? open.substack.com/pub/ziller/p...

Unlocked newsletter: on the top two tiers of title contenders at the break. Four teams in the top tier (would not be a surprise if they won the championship), five more squads in Tier 2 (it'd be a surprise). open.substack.com/pub/ziller/p...

The Suns kicked up a lot of dust (that got in their eyes), the Cavs made a bet, the Grizzlies traded a pick to get off a player they traded a pick to get 18 months ago and the Bucks' vibes are uh, maculate. open.substack.com/pub/ziller/p...

All these trades while I'm writing my newsletter while early access to Civ 7 is just sitting there is totally fine, folks. I'm totally fine.

Here's the WIRED piece from 1AM, reporting that -- contrary to White House claims -- a 25-year-old Musk lackey has obtained direct access to Treasury Department systems responsible for nearly all payments made by the US government: www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

This morning's newsletter focused on decoding the reporting around the Luka trade to come to some conclusions. (I also posted perhaps my most controversial Paramore opinion?) open.substack.com/pub/ziller/p...

This is not just a "pause." It is an unlawful destruction now. Foreign aid is a cornerstone of national security with diplomacy and defense. USAID's work reaches 100s of millions worldwide and America will be harmed. Here are some of the lives at stake.

My core take here is that, yes, the Lakers keep landing superstars in exceptional fashion. The results have not nearly been the same in the past 15 years.

I was wrong about Trae Young deserving an All-Star spot. My bad. The coaches were wrong about Alperen Sengun over Domantas Sabonis. open.substack.com/pub/ziller/p...

Made my brief cases for the 14 All-Star reserves. I know that at least one of my picks (Norm) will not make it, and I know I will become the Joker if Sengun gets a nod over Sabonis. open.substack.com/pub/ziller/p...
