Refreshing to hear the guys on NBC talk about load management

I think Milwaukee is the team to beat in the East.

Are they on or near peak Kareem Abdul Jabbar level?

Giannis is bigger, stronger, faster, and a better rebounder. For now. Victor is still filling out. He's taller and a much better shotblockier. Victor appears to already have better three-point range.

Which player will be the best?

This Sixers team is intriguing. They're 4-0 now. Maxey is balling. Edgecomb looks good. Embiid isn't playing back-to-backs but he's not as bad as he looked opening night - 25/7/5 on 52.9% FG tonight. Supporting cast looked good. PG isn't even playing yet. You're never going to bet on a team that's relying on Embiid and PG's health, but man if everyone stayed healthy...
The Wizards lose a lottery pick if they win too many.

If Brandin Podziemski is hitting you with the chase down block, it might be time to retire.

Post with a good game. I love his fit on GSW. They have needed a stretch five for a while, especially with Dray and Jimmy being on the floor.

79 points in a game is embarrassing in 2025

Harden went scoreless in the second half and both he and Kawhi looked like they couldn't care less about winning when the going got tough.

Warriors were on a back to back and 5th game in 8 nights and played with far more intensity.

And? I'm talking about how he looks physically, movement-wise.
