Evan Mobely is the dominant force in this game right now.

Involved everywhere. Fingerprints on everything.

[SamSalt @SamSaltHoops]

People aren’t prepared for how involved Marcus Smart will be in these non-Luka and Reaves playoff games.

Every game will somehow come down to his actions.

The ball will find him at the end of every game.

Not a projection, proven science.

If you gave me 1,000 guesses on how the NCAA would fill the time between the two Final 4 games, I truly never would have gotten close to a James Naismith impersonator into a 25-minute Chainsmokers set.

The gravitational pull is too powerful.

All roads lead to Ochoa somehow starting for Mexico at the World Cup.

[DAZN Football @DAZNFootball]

Heartbreak for Mexico. 💔🇲🇽

Ángel Malagón, expected to be El Tri’s starting goalkeeper, has suffered a torn Achilles and will miss the World Cup.

The situation could bring Guillermo Ochoa back into the picture, with the veteran chasing a historic sixth World Cup squad appearance. 🧤 #FIFAWC2026

Mark your calendars.

We're officially at the point in the NBA regular season where you can get tricked.

Stay wary. Don't buy stock. Remember, teams aren't playing to win.

It only took Vucevic 3 quarters to kill the Celtics.

This season’s Traitors cast systematically convincing themselves and then voting out all of the people color getting tougher and tougher.

ESPN needs to be imprisoned for continuing to use the 🚨 emoji in push notifications about “trade buzz” and not actual trades.

🚨 can only be broken out when a deal is done.

[SamSalt @SamSaltHoops]

Very strategic release timing on this from the Golden State Warriors communications and video team.

Bump that trade value.

Marcus Smart at this stage of his career on a successful Los Angeles Lakers team...

[SamSalt @SamSaltHoops]

The Jet being a straight-up better golf player than Bobby Fairways and Joey Coldcuts is an unexpected but very funny part of the Internet Invitational.

@statmuse This is not a good sign for any of these teams.

[SamSalt @SamSaltHoops]

You can't watch the Deandre Ayton highlights without watching Luka.

There is no higher floor raiser for a big man in the NBA than playing with Doncic.

5 of Ayton's 9 FG makes last night came from Luka assists, most of them lobs.

Watch for yourself.

Deni Avdija and Josh Giddey are the same profile as Luka Doncic and Cade Cunningham.

Once you understand that, you understand the recent success. There is no more valuable repeated profile in the league.

[SamSalt @SamSaltHoops]

@TheDunkCentral All quality pieces on an individual level.

Unfortunately, not one that makes a winning puzzle.

[SamSalt @SamSaltHoops]

Derrick White is a strong example of what happens when even a very good player gets asked to become a team's No. 1 or even No. 2 option.

He's a Tier 1 role player (incredibly valuable)

Being able to lead a team night after night is a different beast.

[Ian Inangelo @iinangelo]

Is it time to be concerned with the shooting slump Derrick White is in?

White is shooting: 31% FG% on 15.8 FGA and 25% 3P% on 9.5 3PA in 8 games this year

I’m sure water will find its level soon but it sucks seeing him slump so hard

[SamSalt @SamSaltHoops]

The Alex Sarr leap has taken place.

So much more under control.

Then again, every big man looks like they've taken a leap going up against this Boston Celtics team.

[SamSalt @SamSaltHoops]

Jim Nantz just said Marvin Lewis and Bill Cowher played “Midget Football together” 😂

Blows “peewee football” out of the water.

[SamSalt @SamSaltHoops]

Sexton, Knueppel, Kalkbrenner, and James -- Charles Lee is getting and playing guys in his image of play style.

Team first. Off the chart work ethic. The culture is being built.

Don't forget, it's all to prop one player up, if this is really to work.

The Brandon Miller leap.

[SamSalt @SamSaltHoops]

Dillon Brooks wasted no time bringing the Dillon Brooks experience to Phoenix.

Such a winning player.
