Managed by Aaron Boone, on a roster built by Brian Cashman and skimpily paid for by Hal Steinbrenner.

It shouldn't happen but we know it will: Volpe as the starting SS in game one.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

I like the what if the Tyson Chandler to OKC trade doesn't get rescinded due to his injury?

You can't prove that I am not a member of the NBA, nor that my rebounding in 2019 was not as good as it was in previous seasons.

Nobody takes better advantage of being a New York celebrity than Steve Schirripa. Dude is at every game for every team.

Got to the Yankee game about 3 seconds before the first pitch. Naturally had to watch Vladdy homer almost immediately. This team is so annoying.

3️⃣ Things NBA Preview: Houston Rockets

⏭️ Reed Sheppard, come on down
🌎 Amen Thompson, all over
👣 Big ball, overwhelming?

Sheppard is suddenly one of the most important players in the NBA this season.

Thompson is my favorite player in the NBA.

Are the Rockets going to play four PF/Cs at once?

Also, "Thank you." "For what?" "For everything." That one's gotta go, too.

I gotta say, Trevor Lawrence is the ideal quarterback for Jason Mendoza to root for. Perfect amounts of awesome and terrible and ridiculous and silly and fun.

The Clippers don't have any players in their rotation who are younger than 28. Even GSW has a few guys in their early-to-mid 20s to offset the olds.

Used these minutes projections to get projected minutes-weighted age for each team. This would make the Clippers the oldest team of all time by over a full year.

3️⃣ Things NBA Preview: Dallas Mavericks

🫵 Cooper Flagg, on-point
🎯 Anthony Davis, off-center
🛑 Defense, wins championships

I ... kind of like the idea of playing Cooper Flagg at point guard and letting him try and letting him fail and letting him build himself up as a playmaker. Shocking, I know.

At the HP Substack, I started my list of reasons to be excited for the season with the Cavs' Moment of Truth, the Thunder battle vs. history, and Houston trying a heist job.
