Alex Speers started full time at the Athletic this week. Obviously already making an impact with his wit and creativity.
Alex and I have been friends since kindergarten, and having the opportunity to work with him on Down to Dunk and Slam n Jam PLUS everything at the Athletic is a dream come true.
Thanks to all that listen and support our work. It’s going to be such a fun season.

My current payroll projection for the 2027-28 Oklahoma City Thunder that won’t actually turn out like this.
They’ve got big decisions to make next summer though I still expect them to pay an exorbitant luxury tax bill and operate above the second apron next season.
This is a crucial analysis, especially the SGA part.

I watched the finals, so yes I know he did not perform well enough against San Antonio.
But let’s pump the breaks, shall we? He is awesome and played like an All-Star up until that moment.
There are..1/n
Many players who had awful series for various reasons - Kd shot 42% and 28% from 3 vs GSW
It happens. You make a note, but you surely don’t put all your eggs into that single matchup, that single playoffs

Abbiamo tifato per fasci e/o dopati, figuriamoci se il problema è un pagliaccio egomaniaco con mezza barba.
Si può ragionare quanto si vuole sulla simpatia (che però non vale punti/metri/secondi extra), ma è uno dei migliori agonisti mai visti, con un palmarès senza senso.
I see lots of “Ajay needs to come off the bench” because Shai needs to have the ball. Shai plays the entire first quarter and likes A LOT to start slow, playing off ball and then take command of the offense.
So, on top of what I said on the pod, there’s value in bringing…
