Going to repeat myself. The Prime NBA crew is fucking fantastic. It's sooooo much better than we've had for years.

Did an NBA All-Breakout 1st & 2nd team for Y! Sports, and I'm sure you will all agree with the names, since that's how sports writing works. sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

It's beyond shitty.

So, it's been 11 games. Let's check in on Nikola Jokić and OH MY GOD! 77.3 TS% 74.0 eFG% 78.3 2PTFG% 52.7 AST% 39.4 PER (h/t @johnhollinger.bsky.social) 29/13/11. What the actual fuck. Like, seriously. What the actual fuck.

First and most importantly, no one wants AI Second, why would I want to pay for user generated content? If I paid for Disney+, it would be for professional content. That's the point of paying for it

"Bots watching content by other bots" is so real, and so depressing.

I ask again. Who is fucking asking for this? Show me who is asking for this.

Same.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Need LeBron to actually play in a G League game to fulfill his greatness.

Statistically speaking, Victor Wembanyama should crack 500 career blocks in eight games. .... he's 21, and has half a missed season in there. It's preposterous.

There was a DeMar-for-KCP idea I'd been toying around with in my head, which I didn't hate if the Kings were going to just make some alterations. That's definitely out the window, if they're looking at a full-on rebuild. But, as Bryant notes... uh, have we not seen this movie before?

Firing Nico Harrison after the Luka Dončić - which you as ownership singed off on - is extremely unserious. Yeah, it's the right call. Because if your lead executive suggests trading Luka Dončić for a poo-poo platter, he should be fired. But *after* making the trade? Then it's on you.

Oh, in Fantasy Land. But sometimes, Fantasy Land can be fun! Just look at Republicans. They've spent over two decades in the "We Have No Idea What We're Doing" section of the park, and look much how fun they're having!

I fully support this idea, and so should the Mavs.

So, LiAngelo Ball is having Stephen A. Smith on his podcast, and their PR person figured I'd be interested in writing a piece about it. Oh, how wrong that person was.

Jaren Jackson Jr has 5 rebounds in 11 minutes. I never knew he was capable of this!

Milwaukee's interior defense has been sublime.

So, Tony Wroten just signed in the Danish basketball league. There's some potential for dominance there.

This is correct. If you need real estate on Trendon Watford Island, you better reach out to Keith or I, because we own ALL OF IT.

Had Watford as my MIP pick going into last season. Guess I was just a year early!

Well, well, well. You're welcome.

Tottenham - Man U has been exceedingly boring. Very little chance, minimal individuality, passive play, poor execution.

This is a hell of a win for the Spurs. Winning games against good teams, without Wemby Wemby'ing, is such a positive sign for this group.

If Tari Eason is a shooter now, the Rockets extended the wrong forward.

The NBA Prime Studio setup is fucking BRILLIANT.

Can't wait for Part 2, when Steph reveals he was an adult film actor for five years, before pivoting to poker. (Read this, in all seriousness. Such a good read.)

I do not care what you do. There is no job, and no responsibility on Earth, which justifies this type of compensation, when people can't afford to eat.

Jokić, before I was interviewed by Danish media about him, and said "I feel he could do more": 20.8 points, 14.4 rebounds, 10.8 assists - Nuggets 3-2 Jokić, after: 33.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 15.0 assists - Nuggets 2-0 I obviously take full credit here.

Trendon Watford with 16 points and 6 assists. Had 16/9/7 the other day against Brooklyn. If he's taking a playmaking leap, I can no longer find any reasonable excuse to not play him more.

I still loathe the process of how Chicago approaches roster construction, but Matas Buzelis is a genuine stud.

What a novel idea! People who won't miss a small amount of money giving to help those who really need it. It's almost like we can lift each other up! Hunger issues should never be a thing, but they really shouldn't be a thing for kids. Good to see more people are realizing this and taking action!

Still surreal. (Even if they did put baby in the corner.)

The Nets are a ROUGH watch.

It's almost as if the league's biggest TV partner shouldn't have spent 20 years shitting on the product on a daily basis.

"One team" in the background, and over Green's head, is so deliciously ironic, given that he's lost the locker room.

I'm sorry, the Sixers had TWO players off the bench approaching triple-doubles?!?

The Suns are thoroughly kicking San Antonio's ass, and it's basically in every facet of the game. Their game plan on Wembanyama has been brilliant. Baiting San Antonio to throw high passes over the top of the defense, but having the back line ready to rotate, forcing turnovers.

21-year-old Rim Taha had this ridiculous line yesterday in the Danish women's league. Hey, WNBA, take note!

Correct, and that's an entirely reasonable plan if you refuse to rebuild, refuse to play the draft game, refuse to trade assets while their value is high, etc. (Just to remind people that Chicago's approach to roster construction is still a bad process.)

The addition of Tre Jones in the starting lineup, as well as the off-ball improvements of Matas Buzelis, has potentially fixed one of the biggest issues I saw for this team: Offensive stagnation. And legit credit to Josh Giddey for embracing the presence of another ball-handler. That's not nothing.

Ayo Dosunmu slander.

Giddey needed this. Despite fine raw numbers, he'd been outplayed by two other Chicago guards - both earning less than $10 million this year - during their streak.

Dear Americans. You somehow marketed Halloween to a point where it now has invaded Europe. I will never fucking forgive you for this.

No De'Aaron Fox yet. Didn't stop them from going 5-0 anyway. Wemby with 27/18/6/5, and he didn't even play *that* well. Vassell stepping into a mentorship role at, what, 25? Good vibes Keldon, doing whatever he's asked. Castle and Harper doing their stuff. This team has some real juice.
