In the grand scheme of disappointing things one could learn about public figures, leaving your kids out of the will doesn't even register.

Also Drummond is out tonight so Boban is being unleashed.

Everyone talks about Drummond's FT shooting, but I think it's equally impressive that he's tripled his assists and is facilitating in a way that almost nobody thought he was capable of

He was always quietly a very skilled passer for his size but the new offense has opened that up a lot. Now he's not a black hole taking awful postups.

Of course the GM of the Rockets would think this

The Pistons are 5-2 in the second game of back to backs, somehow beating the Rockets without three of their top six in the rotation. Also lost by like 36 last night to Philly. I know basketball is funny but I don't understand this season at all.

My hot take: I think Pistons are very good at defending the perimeter(I have no evidence or stats to back this up fyi) but Embiid eats Drummond's lunch and they have nobody to guard Simmons

I don't have the stats but I believe opponents were shooting a ridiculously low percentage from three against them during their hot start

Michael Shannon had it right.

I used to enjoy his brand of curmudgeonliness but every time he appears on that podcast I think we should euthanize him. His take on all star weekend was especially bad.

Also they're on national TV tomorrow and the lineup is gonna be Drummond and four scrubs lol

So like how does this work now that there are teams? Since wall is an eastern dude he has to get replaces by an eastern dude? He just slides into his spot on whoever team he landed on?

The all star game is dumb.

It has to be an Eastern dude and he'd be on team LeBron.

Greg Monroe has very sad eyes and deserves a good home after years of putting up 18 and 10 for mediocre teams.
