One of my favorite possessions of the night VJ Edgecombe had not had a great game thus far. The play is called for Tyrese Maxey. Look at Maxey's reaction to not getting the ball. VJ calmly gets to his spot and nails the middle anyway. He's got the stuff.

His first 3 seasons, Paolo Banchero has been in the 91st, 94th and 98th %iles in midrange volume despite never having above avg efficiency. Better teammates+more space was supposed to fix that. At some point, it's on Jamahl Mosley to coach it out of him.

It's absurd how desensitized we've become to Steph Curry doing this. The moment, the range...everything. It should be more shocking but he's just made it look so normal for so long. Unbelievable.

A common talking point regarding Paolo Banchero's efficiency is how much it is weighed down by the burden he carries initiating offense and surrounding space. Orlando certainly can help put Paolo in better spots, but he can improve how he attacks as well.

We know James Harden is an all-time great player and a lock HOF'er, but he's proving himself as one of the great floor raisers of all time. You put him on the team and they'll be competitive. How else can you explain this year's Clippers?

Y'all wanted to see this team without Jayson Tatum. Season low 104 points and 8 3-pointers made. Everyone knows how good this Celtics team is, not enough know that Jayson Tatum is what makes them work. He slides each other player into their ideal role.

The Zach LaVine shot was very strange to watch live. Doug Christie was adamant it was a 3 and the refs were just like, "naw we're good" 🤣 Not a great look, especially given today's events

“But the way people talked about Karl-Anthony Towns often went beyond basketball. The ‘soft’ label has always been revealing. It flirts with lazy ideas about masculinity, toughness, and what people think physicality is *supposed* to look like…” -XJ

Julius Randle grabs a missed free throw and races the ball up the court before zipping the ball to Rudy Gobert as if to say, "fine, here ya go." Gobert fumbles the pass and Randle slumps his shoulders before walking off. Chemistry issues in Minnesota.

Imagine you're Stephon Castle--you've controlled these moments your whole life. And then some 7'7 dude claps for the ball and you get to watch him go to work. Oh ya, Wemby had the game-tying 3 AND a block just before this. The dude is unreal.

A play emblematic of what LeBron James has done his entire career Sitting on 8 points in a tie game with the last shot. The game isn't just on the line, so is his famous streak. But instead of forcing up a shot, LeBron makes the right pass. Lakers win.

The Blazers' broadcast team wasn't happy with Cole Anthony going through Toumani Camara's legs for a loose ball. "That's the second time. And if you remember, Jaden Ivey got hurt on the exact same play. It ended his season. And Cole Anthony was involved."

The Pacers put a smaller guy on Wemby who can stay in front of him so Wemby simply re-posts and goes to work from the midrange IDK what you're supposed to do if he just casually becomes a 3-level scorer

IMO this one was worse because it’s more emblematic of an overarching, leaguewide issue—Sengun created no advantage and had no path to the basket. The Lakers were in great guarding position with TWO defenders. But throw your body into a defender awkwardly and you may be rewarded!

The Lakers' defense couldn't keep up with Miami's pace. This basket finally set JJ Redick off inspiring a profanity-laced tirade. 104 points in the first 38 minutes and 30 seconds. The Heat would score just 16 points in the final 9:30. Coaching matters.

The Spurs tried to ghost Mo Diawara, but he was prepared to shoot any time he was left open. 13 3PA in just 15 minutes. What Diawara showed is not just the value of making open shots, but in showing the defense you’re willing to keep taking them, irrespective of the result.

In 64 minutes with Draymond Green, Jimmy Butler, and Brandin Podziemski on the court, the Warriors are allowing 93.6 points per 100 possessions and have a +18.6 net rating. They looking like they are capable of defending at a scarily high level again.

I am speechless. I've never seen anything like this. The Timberwolves were down 7 with 25 seconds left and go into halftime down 15. Here is the unedited footage. Make sure to stick around for Jamal Murray FLEXING in front of Kevin Harlan and Harlan standing up to make his call.
