I most definitely have. 😆

Mike Breen has had enough of Draymond’s bullshit.

I have a feeling that Ty Jerome is crashing back to Earth this season.

Agreed. That has no place in hoop.

Seriously, how long is this Rizzler kid gonna milk this?

Only preseason but Trae is showing what you need from him on D:

* effort

* understands where he needs to be

That's all you can ask of him. He will *always* be a liability on D. But that squad ATL built around him is loooong and can easily cover up his deficiencies.

I hope he gets the opportunity to figure it out. That is one of the things that interests me about this season, how much space Joe will give some of these guys to grow.

These bigs won't replace KP or Al's shooting. I think the best path is replicating how effective Kornet was in the roll last season. But, yeah rebounding could be a problem all year. Q often seems out of position or reads the ball poorly off the rim. Given his tools he should be better.

Very few current NBA players can manipulate a defense like Trae Young. I can think of 3 off the top of my head:

Jokic
Luka
Harden

I love watching him operate.

My take is that whichever big excels in the short roll gets the most minutes.

Garza is better. Mark my words.

I'm really happy for my NFL homies who don't watch the NBA learning about Eric Collins. I got so many texts in the group chat of people being like TURN ON THE PANTHERS GAME which is not something anyone normally says and it was because of Collins. He's my favorite

I think he's actually taller. I don't know why but a lot of big men lie about their actual height: Kareem, KG, Walton, to name a few.

Ja Morant hanging on the rim. He is wearing his blue uniform with #12 that says Grizzlies across the chest.

My questions for the upcoming season:

* who on the Celtics breaks Klay's record for 3s attempted in a game (24)? My $ is on PP

* how many games before Celtics break the record for 3PA attempted in a single game? 63 for non-OT, 70 for OT. Celtics break 70 3PA before game 15.

This week, we spoke with @mikedynon.bsky.social about the smallest of preseason sample sizes and what we can glean from it about the season ahead. Check it out!

Wells is a guy, for sure. I'm pretty high on GG Jackson and Williams Jr too, though neither looked great against Cs unfortunately.

That was the Memphis Hustle bench unit for the most part.
