So this in-season tournament. Was it the Mavs-Spurs game they were talking about it? One of the Tues games crews were bluntly saying it'll take players & teams a few years to truthfully take it seriously. Maybe it was the Canadian broadcast of T-Wolves-Raptors. I think players need to see the ramifications of trying & winning before they believe what's on paper. That's fine, if the Kings or Magic win this 1st one & see how that pans for them, maybe it'll influence. Will probably depend on the prize money. Let's see if they take any of the relevant in-season games with any extra intensity.

Raptors still doing Raptors things... struggling to eke out the win over a competitively paired T-Wolves side. At least the Nurse grind era is over. I've been posting since forever here, & their ceiling is now yearly 6th place in the East. Holy fack... down 19 tonight, go on some 60-20 run at the Bulls... f'n jump into every f'n Bulls shooter sending them to the line to comeback, goes to OT because DeRozan misses 3 FT's from 3 different shots no less under a minute... Barnes with a triple double but couldn't handle the inbounds with seconds left in regulation. It's clear they need an NBA capable backup PG, Flynn is decidedly not the answer. Poetl fouled out, OG went out injured, so I'll blame that. This team is like trying to run uphill the entire way 24/7/365 never make it easy for themselves. Ever.

The new look Celtics seem a little shaky early on. Canβt be too upset with them winning the first 2 games. Iβm hoping for more dominance and consistency as the season progresses.

Steph and the Warriors had their trademark 3rd quarter blitz vs the Kings in Sactown, then went turnover crazy in the 4th and Fox nearly brought the Kings back solo.
Playoff atmosphere in the first half and during the final surge with Kings trapping and not letting the W's into the frontcourt.
Maybe they will have a bit more road success than last year.

Warriors up 10 at the half, but the bench is wildly outplaying the starters.
Draymond started, is -13 and awful.
CP3's first time ever coming off the bench, in his 1216th game, is +23
In Houston, so not much of a test.

Pels were 4 1/2 pt faves, went to 5 1/2 by game time. Couldn't figure out why. W's road back-to-back? Last year's road woes?
Warriors crushed them, 130-102, outrebounding them 64-39.
Steph 7-13 from 3, 42 points.

Holy crap. Spurs were down to Phoenix by 20 in the 3rd, steal the ball from Durant and take their only lead with 1.2 s left and win it

Still, Ballmer has a new building to steal some LA spotlight... might as well go all in if he can, & he did.

Raptors still doing Raptors things... Lose to the Blazers at home; blow out the Bucks in return. Being a Raps fan is the grind. 6th place 4 life.

Wow... LeBron not having any of the Clippers party tonight. 35.2 mpg is not sustainable. If he was better than 16-29 on free throws, maybe they don't play 2 OT games.

Wembanyama dominates Durant with 38 and 10 in a win in Phoenix even with Booker back. 132-121 Phoenix 2-3. That game will be on Wemby's top 10 list for awhile now. Coming out parties for superstars are historic.

Have to wonder if anyone at ESPN is allowed to correct Stephen A. He said WembanyaNa over and over again all morning.

Tournament games have been intense.
Steph layup with 0.2 left beats OKC after being initially waved off for basket interference.
