No reason to be giving Miami handouts everybody!! But Walter Clayton or KPJ is probably there in a matter of days
Should be Spurs -2.5 tomorrow with no Chet. Obviously about as great as motivation can get in a spot for OKC but while the Spurs won THIER championship they did not win THE championship so motivation should still be as much as you can hope for from them
I also LOVE Boston. Down to a PK from the opening +2

Man. A new era of Oregon Basketball has begun. At least it starts with an extremely solid roster

What is Dylan Harper's ceiling? Could he be the next MJ? Kobe? Dylan says absolutely.
Should be a year of getting back to the tournament and Altman standard for the Ducks.
There’s been a lot of talk about Altman in the past few years when Oregon has been at the mercy of some significant injury situations, but I see this year as an opportunity to totally right the ship and I think we have the talent/team to do it in Eugene

You’re gonna need about 38. Every game.
Bickerstaff: Ausar Thompson expected to play more minutes this season, via @omarisankofa.
"I definitely see his minutes going above 26."
On a mission for the right agendas of this league. Beautiful stuff

Acaden Lewis is one of the best guards in this class. It was a tough start to the season v BYU, but this is now everything we want to see and the wins are there for Nova. The numbers are backing him as an elite offensive player @EvanMiya. Synergy gives him excellent assist ratings … I think the eye test and a level of comfort from him just scream NBA guard. The ball is on a string // there is some waviness to his game that is aesthetically pleasing with flashes of elite athleticism. High-level shot-making that should translate to the league (some Dylan Harper like makes). Has his spots and can get there with elite burst and shiftiness. This is like the Fears of this class, I see more of an elite shooter in Peterson...
There are some shades of Kyrie Irving in his game … can’t even get to the passing yet for this post. It feels like I see some nuanced NBA capabilities: athletic corner catches keeping the play going // quick put backs // ability to keep his defender where he wants him as he moves towards the basket. Lewis is one of the main players I feel great about flying up boards as we enter 2026.

Only 700K for Kawhi and he still owns the Maine Red Claws ?? 😂😂😂
Toronto title chase is on. Darko KL and Scottie Barnes are the only thing in the way of Philly reaching the NBA Finals
BREAKING: The NBA has ruled on the Los Angeles Clippers in for salary cap circumvention investigations on Kawhi Leonard after yearlong probe -- stripping the franchise of 5 first-round picks, issuing a $30 million fine to owner Steve Ballmer and suspensions for Ballmer, Lawrence Frank and Gillian Zucker, sources tell ESPN.
Kawhi Leonard will have to pay $700,000 in restitution for improper benefits by the Clippers for his uncle and former business rep, Dennis Robertson. No contract void or suspension for Leonard. And Robertson -- who was fired by Leonard in June -- is being banned by the NBA from all business dealings.
Figure this out now Finch. I don’t see how Minnesota can be +1300 to win the WEST (LaMelo has peaked as the best offensive player in the NBA via DunksAndThrees).
Do the Spurs avenge their failures or are they now broken? Understanding if they can turn the corner towards seriousness in the biggest moments is a top priority of this NBA season for me .. and once again maybe we somehow don’t know until the finals again but I’m more than happy to hold this Minnesota ticket with that up in the air
BREAKING: Jonathan Kuminga has agreed to a two-year, $13 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, plus a player option, agent Aaron Turner tells ESPN. Kuminga will be a starter alongside Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert on the West contender.
