I am still not used to Jamal Murray having the Jalen Brunson braids instead of the small fro poof up top.

Jokic behind the head no look pass out of a double team, finish your drink.

Tim Hardaway Jr. having the impact folks thought Cam Johnson would have in Denver so far.

The Bulls and the Sixers were probably in the top 3 teams I avoided the most on League Pass last year. They now might be in the top 5 I try to watch this season. Neither team is a serious contender to win anything significant this year. They’re just fun to watch.

🚨 Clippers owner Steve Ballmer has been sued by 11 Aspiration investors who allege Ballmer used the company (now named Catona) "to secretly funnel millions of dollars to star NBA player, Kawhi Leonard [...] paying him more than allowed by the NBA’s salary cap rules” — www.pablo.show/p/update-ste...

I bet that’s a shot the Pacers would give up 10 times out of 10. Just gotta tip your cap when Giannis hits a fall away 18 footer at the buzzer.

Amen Thompson has at least one moment every game where his pure athleticism makes it seem like there’s more than one Amen Thompson out there.

I can’t believe what I just watched.

PANDEMONIUM

This is so Bears.

Cairo Santos

Top 5 World Series of my lifetime. Hell of a show.

That’s baseball

[Stands and claps in living room for Max Scherzer]

Scherzer is two months younger than I am and I can’t think of a better reason than to root for a fellow old guy still got it story.

An oft-injured starting pitching into a dirty inning on zero days rest.

Incredible defensive inning for Toronto.

I’ve managed through a balance of devices and logins but I need YouTube TV and Disney to

Wow

The baseball.

Ok that was pretty. Hawks gave up the odd man rush but Jets capitalized in an emphatic way.

lol Jets

The Pelicans might lose 55 games this year.

Was back in my old neighborhood for a haircut and went to my favorite taqueria. During a rush dinner service I was one of two customers. There used to be a line out the door of this place. It is infuriating that people are afraid to go eat because of the goon squad in Chicago.

Hat trick for the kid. The fun level with the Blackhawks is rising. They’re still fun-bad, but more fun than bad.

There is no lead too big for the Sacramento Kings to squander.

OKC-SAC on League Pass (Prime). NYK-MIL on NBC/Peacock. And I’m somewhat interested in keeping tabs on the World Series tonight. That’s YouTube TV. Three goddamn different streaming services just to watch live sports. Four if you count me borrowing a friend’s Fubo login to watch the Blackhawks.

The consumer had been in steady decline when it comes to the current landscape for consuming the NBA but this League Pass change to Prime absolutely sucks. That I need three different devices to watch three different games tonight is ridiculous.

A major improvement of watching 76ers games would be if their home broadcast crew had the same availability as Joel Embiid.

My favorite untracked stat when watching Victor Wembanyama is opponent U-Turns on drives. There are at least 3-5 times per game where a guard beats his guy off the dribble on the perimeter and then once they see this giant French condor near the rim they just go NOPE and turn around.

Dylan Harper has my attention

Wemby has achieved the rare air of pushing RedZone to the smaller screen.

That was a catastrophe from the Bears offense once it got to goal to go.

Man Utah really had Colorado in the first half not gonna lie

lol Gophers

I love boat racing PJ Fleck

Well hello there Zion

I like RJ. I like Legs. It’s still total horseshit they demoted Doris Burke to the B-Team broadcast.

Can only be good for the Nuggets to have Jamal Murray firing early in the season. He usually hibernates until around Christmas.

Going to see Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere tonight with tempered expectations. I think there will be great performances out of the Jeremys but a whole is unlikely to be the sum of its parts.

Victor having done the Olajuwon footwork camp over the summer has put Lively and Davis in HELL tonight. Even if you manage to stay in front of him, he goes over or around you.

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH VICTOR WEMBANYAMA

WEMBANYAMA ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Wemby with another reverse slam after a ball fake 👽

There are going to be so, so many “how did he do that?” moments from Wembanyama this season.

VJ Edgecomb now has more points in his NBA debut than anyone except Wilt Chamberlain

It’s Wemby Time, folks.

It kills me to admit how much I like this Knicks team. Brunson’s foul merchant stuff aside this squad is deep, versatile and Mike Brown has them running a much faster pace than the Thibs teams of the past few years.

The Rockets' starting five grabbed 53.3% of their own missed shots last night. Holy hell.

Not gonna lie. Skinny Luka freaks me out a little bit. Don’t get me wrong, him being in better shape can only help his game. But he was our doughy king. I do wonder if it negatively affects some of the bully ball game he would employ on smaller guards.
