Dear algorithm, Connect me with people who have experienced enough of life to appreciate how much they still don’t know. People who have succeeded, failed, changed direction and aren’t afraid to reconsider what they once believed. People who can disagree, exchange ideas and walk away having learned something instead of trying to prove a point. I’m interested in different perspectives, interesting experiences and conversations that actually make you think.

Malachi Toney gotta be the Heisman favorite after watching Miami tonight. The drop-off is steep without him out there. Still hoping the Hurricanes pull this out.

The Washington Wizards didn’t need AJ Dybantsa. They already have Kyshawn, Anthony Davis, Will Riley, Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr. Watching them play the OKC Thunder, he looks lost out there. I just don’t see where AJ fits as this is already George’s team. There are too many guys with overlapping games. They would’ve been better off drafting Darryn Peterson and developing him into their lead guard as Trae Young phases out.

OKC is missing some of its best players and still beating Washington with damn near an entire second unit. The Wizards have all these long, athletic guys, but who’s actually playing defense? Everybody seems to have a similar game, and none of it is translating into good team basketball.

How OKC get this dude for nothing?

Watching SGA reminds me so much of Darryn Peterson. The way he changes speeds, gets to his spots in the midrange, uses his footwork to create space and never looks rushed. That’s the kind of game I see in DP. I can’t wait for him to get the freedom to show it.

Tuned into this Wizards vs. Thunder game. No AD tonight, so let’s see if AJ can bounce back from his last game. But man, this one smells like a blowout.

I’m taking Miami over Notre Dame 27-23. Playing in South Bend won’t be easy, especially without Toney, but I think Miami has enough talent to pull it off. Gonna be a close one. I like Miami to make a big play late and get the win.

Nobody knows who designed the sidewalk, the stop sign or the water fountain. We just use them every day without thinking about who created them. Imagine creating something so useful that your name no longer matters.

Fans of both teams won’t want to hear this, but Darryn Peterson should be in Washington and AJ Dybantsa should be in Utah. Utah seems committed to Keyonte George, and Washington has Kyshawn George. I really think if you switched DP and AJ, both would be shining right now.

I wanted Washington to take DP over AJ because AJ needs the ball in his hands to be effective. DP does too, but I saw him eventually becoming the lead guard like Shai. Trae was never the long-term answer. What I didn’t expect was Kyshawn to be this good. Now you’ve got Kyshawn, Trae and AD who all need touches. So where does AJ fit?

Last game, Keyonte got hot in the 3rd and they fed him the ball every possession. Tonight, Darryn gets hot, leads an 8-0 run, and then suddenly stops touching the ball. The offense goes right back to Key. Now tell me, Utah Jazz fans, is that right?

Lauri took 20 shots and 15 3s. This is insane.

Darryn Peterson got it going in 4th and then his team freezes him out. Many you can’t make this up.

Trade Keyonte bro. I’ve seen enough. He and DP can’t coexist. Darryn had it going tonight, so why did the offense start running through Key AGAIN? Another bad 4th quarter from him. I don’t understand what Hardy is seeing that I’m not.

What happened to letting DP run the offense with the second unit? Why is Collier in? DP finally hits a three and Hardy pulls him right out. I really don’t understand these rotations.

Let’s see who guards who tonight in this Jazz vs. Mavericks game. I’m also watching how Utah comes out in the first quarter. They’ve gotten off to terrible starts the last three games. Let’s see if they can change that tonight.

It’s early, but AJ is struggling a bit. This is what I was concerned about with his game. He’s not going to be able to just put his head down and bully his way to the basket like he did at BYU. He’s gotta develop that jump shot or NBA defenses are going to make life difficult for him. Hopefully he turns it around.
