Never thought about how much the Thunder championship meant to OKC exactly 30 years after the bombing happened. Really powerful.

The Wizards opened the season with a projected win total o/u of 34.5 wins Their new win total o/u now sits at 32.5 wins, despite a current 4-3 record 🤔 All alternate win totals have also gone up 👀 (i.e. 40+ wins is now up from +300 to +400) (odds below via @FanDuel)

Super cool watching the Brewers finally win it all last night but gutted for the Rays fans losing for a THIRD World Series 😭😭😭 DC sports fandom is tough but also we’re really SO lucky to have actually shipped both these titles when we made it there 🏆🏆

Checking out @HUMensBB practice as they prepare for their exhibition game against American tomorrow at 1pm. Their overall size, especially in the front court, really stands out. The game is at 1pm, come out & watch two preseason conference favorites!

Before the season gets started, I want to say another thank you to all the Wizards fans (new and old) who have followed along 💙 Last year we started the season with less than 2,000 followers… This year we open at over 6,500‼️ The goal by end of season: Hit 10K 👀🔥 I don’t know if we’ll get there, but what I do know is we’ve got a REAL FUN season ahead I can honestly say I haven’t been this excited as a Wizards fan since walking out of the building following John Wall’s game 6 shot I’m gonna try to do some more giveaways and other new interactive content all year, so if you aren’t already following please do And if you are going to any games please shoot me a message and let’s grab a drink! NOW LET’S HAVE OURSELVES A YEAR 👏 Much love, SleeperWizards aka DC Lee (@LNewmanDC)

Wiz season opener AND Terps fired Locksley
Sources: Maryland coach Mike Locksley has been dismissed. Maryland dropped to 2-5 on Saturday after a last-second loss to Rutgers. Locksley is 39-54 overall at Maryland, including his interim stint in 2015. Maryland is on a bye this week.

Many Washington Wizards fans want a franchise rebrand. They say a new era demands new primary uniforms, a new logo and perhaps a new name. What are the chances of all that happening? Story at @TheAthleticNBA, free for everyone to read: nytimes.com/athletic/7677666…
