He can't get his 3 to fall, but I like what I'm seeing from Cedric Coward. High-points rebounds. Really tries on defense. Getting more aggressive as the game goes about putting it on the floor and getting into other kinds of shots.

Amid this mess of a preseason game, Jaylen Wells showing some growth as a ballhandler and mid-range shooter. Looks like a guy ready to build on his good rookie season.

Why are you sharing this? He wasn’t “censored.” He’s a hothead who bristled at routine editorial back-and-forth and threw a self-absorbed tantrum.

On Ja Morant, Tuomas Iisalo says “It was just a basketball play. These things happen and we hope to have him back soon.” Asked about opening night availability, Iisalo stuck to the script (while smiling): “He’s week-to-week.”

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

The "Ja & Jaren" era enters a new phase this season. Could it see the rebirth of a once-promising two-man game?
