I want the Spurs to win just for the sake of uniform matchups.

🟠🔵 vs. 🟠🔵 for a finals is nasty.

⚪️⚫️ vs. 🟠🔵 is much better.

Real life Lakers fans really tried to argue to me that I should care about the Lakers’ luxury tax bill over Alex Caruso

[cloading @cloadingLA]

@damanr He should’ve retired a Laker

[cloading @cloadingLA]

Wembanyama, Castle, Harper and Carter Bryant. What a transformative stretch of drafting.

A Drake song will be going well and then he’ll say some shit like “I’m doing my big one, you doing a little one. What kind of man are you? A middle one”

Happy to share that I am reviving a basketball newsletter I created as an undergrad. This is the culmination of my early navigation of the industry and rediscovering my love for writing.

[Anthony F. Irwin @AnthonyIrwinLA]

The funny thing about the Lakers apparently being frustrated with having to employ Bronny is he’s pretty clearly better than any of the young guards Pelinka has drafted or signed while they’ve had Bronny.

JHS: Bust
NSJ: Didn’t play
Bufkin: Didn’t play
Dalton: Bust
Mañon: DNP

@Cream_Friche Tried investing for the first time and took a massive L on Shea and Will Contreras. Probably won’t ever try again.

[cloading @cloadingLA]

I understand OKC is unlikeable, but lets chill on Caruso maybe? It’s not his (or our) fault that Pelinka kicked him to the curb in favor of THT. I still love AC.

[Connor Moreno @cmorenoNBA]

Call me a layman all you want, but how does a team reciprocate OKC’s physicality successfully?

I’ve credited the Thunder for establishing the physicality all season. But in playoffs, when you claim to allow more physicality, why does it seem they always have the edge? (1/2)

[cloading @cloadingLA]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Bron this furious with the refs ever in his Lakers tenure

[kiana 🌙 @KianaKuuipo]

Notice how one is flailing around and the other is just drawing contact

JJ is a good coach. Just need to get him the right roster.

[Jovan Buha @jovanbuha]

The Lakers held Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to a season-low in points (18) and a season-high in turnovers (7).
