Saw that Ball is at the dunking phase of his rehab. We didn’t get the dunking update on Steph and Wiggs before they came back. Will we get one for Kuminga or Wise?

Speaking of romps and shredding defenses, I haven't seen the look of futility on Luka's face, that I saw tonight, since the last time he saw GPII. I stayed up to watch the Luca-Dame matchup, as Luka ran his mouth, promising he would outscore Dame...DAME took it personally while registering his 4th 30+ successive game. Advantage Dame, 36-15, as GPII frustrated Luka for 15 mins while dropping 10pts, sinking 2, 3pters, from opposite corners, and snaring 4 steals...where have we seen that fine defensive act and critical offensive spark before.... Meantime GPII still helping us, as with that loss, we are only one loss behind Mavs. Playback 2-nite in Portland on a B2B.

> Alex Caruso: The defensive-minded guard would be a plug-and-play reserve — and closer — for virtually any contender or team serious about making a playoff push. Golden State has been one prominently mentioned rumor. The Knicks, who have been scouting the Bulls closely of late, are another team on which to keep an eye.

I think that if this trade happened, DiVincenzo would be included.

As much as I dislike Dub's ticket pricing. I'm not sure I actually like the tickets that 15 bucks get you any better.

Watching ants play basketball seems like a poor value proposition. No, in fact, I am not entertained.

Combine JK’s demand for dangerous roof raising with Moody’s angry man and that ought to keep the kids of the lawn.

The nice thing about the view from space is that you can see the Earth rotate underneath the shot as it goes up.
