Work asked our team to start experimenting with short-form video stuff. They asked us to be authentic and true to our own interests and styles. In case you're wondering why I've been sitting in the ice-cold river by my house talking about terrible NBA shooters.

Savvy, galaxy brain solution to the Aspiration/Kawhi scandal by the Clippers — just be so terrible that no one cares about your financial shenanigans to try and create a contender. Whatever crisis PR person came up with this plan deserves a raise.

In today's NBA roundtable at The Whiteboard: @btoporek.bsky.social, @hickoryhigh.bsky.social, @ecassels.bsky.social and more share MVP picks, favorite Ja Morant trades scenarios and consider apologizing to Nikola Vucevic.

Proud to deliver the best cold-plunging NBA analysis on the interwebs. (That I am aware of).

Happy Mushroom Monday! It's getting pretty late in the season, but was still lucky enough to find this little flush of oysters poking out. #fungifriends 🍄📸

The only thing colder than a Vermont river in October ... is Trae Young's shooting!

Also, trying to bring back this irregular series from a few years ago called Deconstructed, where I try to break a player's game down into it's most meaningful and interesting components. Here's what I found with Paolo Banchero.

A couple new basketball things to share — first power rankings of the year, along with some interesting stats I'll be tracking after the first week of the season.

College basketball is almost here and @christopherkline.bsky.social is updating his NBA Draft Big Board, helping identify all the prospects you need to follow.

Well, I'd like to see ol @montaworldpeace.bsky.social write something mind-blowingly joyful about inherent laziness and that MVP-level performance by Wemby! "Mat writes this on his phone while playing with his cat and eating breakfast." Ah! Well, Nevertheless,

First Whiteboard of the regular season, on all the ways the Rockets impressed on Opening Night, plus the insane challenge of trying to dribble near Cason Wallace and why the Lakers may already be doomed READ MORE: fansided.com/nba/nba-expe... SUBSCRIBE: fansided.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=...
