Trying to figure out how the NBA game works. Not for betting purposes. Forthcoming Books: The Five Body Problem (2026); It's LeBron and It's Not Even Close (2028) (or whenever he retires). Occasional cooking advice. Nachos good.

Luka, Austin, Jake, Rui, Ayton. Not great defensively, but BIG, and an offensive juggernaut.

Smart at age 31 is like the last two bottles of expensive wine; gotta save him for when Lakers have company in May.

He’s also 18 of 18 for playing his team’s last playoff game of the season. I wonder if he can make it 19 of 19 ??

Yes. The model usually brings the predictions closer together than Vegas over-unders. And as I got to the last two teams, I even said in my head, Wizards will be 24-58. Shocked to see how far off I was.

Somebody should tell our guy, the Trade Deadline is in FIVE months : )

Wizards projection is a shocker! The model has turned over a new leaf : )

Why do I need an inter dimensional way station to burn these little guys? Is the atmosphere on their world so volatile it’s too dangerous? Or does my Kyphotic friend have a small apartment and he just needs the space?
