A’ja Wilson says she has to remind Bam to “act like a WNBA player” when he guards her in workouts A’ja: I’m like, no one in our league can do that.. I get mad at times and I’m like ok, now be a WNBA, don’t do that.” Bam: She fails to mention I block that sh*t into the 2nd row (Via @TIME) 😭

The NBA is formally stepping into the prediction markets ecosystem. The league announced agreements Monday morning with Kalshi and Polymarket that will allow the companies to use official league data and intellectual property and give the league control over what trades the companies are allowed to offer. nyti.ms/4smgsfG

I'm still worried about Miami's offense, just as a function of not having much variety, lacking creation talent, and missing natural PG skills. However, I'm not worried about the defense. They've just been getting absolutely nuked on jumpers over a miniscule sample size. In the 50 minutes Giannis & Bam have played together, they've been an elite rim defense that dominates the glass, as you'd expect. The problem is that opponents have made 63% of their mid range shots and 51% of their 3s on extreme volume. That's going to come back to Earth. I wouldn't panic just yet.

Kellen Moore said they’ll evaluate if staff changes are needed but not jumping in

Every time I’ve watched Miami this year, I’ve had Becky Hammon’s voice in my head “I can give them the best schemes in the world, but if you don’t run it with juice, it isn’t gonna matter. I can give them the worst schemes, but if they give full effort, it may be okay anyway.”

Leaving fuaga on an island with TJ watt is definitely a choice

This game has a shot at turning the tide for the Saints, much like the 2017 game in London. The Saints got off to a slow start and found themselves that game. Adrian Peterson and PJ Williams were late to a meeting that week, paving the way for Alvin Kamara and Ken Crawley to take bigger roles. Everything changed after that.
