Sneaking a Clippers Hornets game on at 1pm on a Saturday is the equivalent of a 5pm news dump on a Friday night

The last four games of the Pistons loss to the Knicks in the playoffs last season were decided by 2, 1, 3 & 3 points. I asked Cade Cunningham how that experience has helped the Pistons close out games during this 11-game win streak.

Underrated dunker Bob
November 16, 1996: Cleveland's Bob Sura dunks on Detroit's Stacey Augmon.

Sura finished with 17 PTS off the bench, but the Cavaliers lost to the Pistons, 102-98. Grant Hill scored 27 PTS for Detroit (8-1). Terrell Brandon had 25 PTS for the Cavs (6-3).

🇨🇿 Atlanta Hawks Guard Vít Krejčí has been on a heater lately, going 17-for-23 from 3-point range. It’s no surprise he believes in the “Hot Hand” theory.

If we only need 8 international players for the ASG, here are 8 locks:
Jokić, Giannis, Luka, Wemby, SGA, Şengün, Markkanen, Siakam.

Nico had to go but the Mavs owners should go too

Tough to be a Mavs or Clippers fan right now. The vibes around both teams don’t look fun.

The last time Luka Dončić played in Atlanta he had 41 at halftime enroute to 73.
Tonight he has only 22 at h/t so that’s a win for the Hawks.

Incredible story telling here by Steph
Before I was an NBA writer, I was a pro poker player for 12 years. I played against many pro athletes, including Ty Lue a few times.

Here's a snapshot of that period of my life, and thoughts on Lue's alleged connection to Chauncey Billups' private game:

Tyronn Lue's reputation inside the Las Vegas poker circles was a good one among us professional players.
