the 2026 spurs are so fun that they brought an old dad out of writing retirement to scribble a few words about a fun team. what a cool group of guys we've got here. https://t.co/kwNaA3IeFO

@fastbreakonomik other than this weird 2-week period where his admin has done some truly bizarre shit, the biden administration was mostly a case of doing decent stuff and then the media environment/intraparty squabbles making it completely impossible to actually message on the stuff he did.

other teams see dalton knecht score 37 points and think: "lakers, please. we'll send you a washed up vet if you lego of dalton. we want to see what we can build with him."

[Aaron McGuire @docrostov]

@fastbreakonomik the real message from this election is probably that high turnout hurts top of ticket dems now. the median voter is more deranged than ever and off-year “turn out the base” elections are clearly better ground for dems.

people forget snoop's J was a PROBLEM

feel like the wolves will be roughly similar in the regular season but way worse in the playoffs. feel like the knicks will bank some extra regular season wins but also be considerably worse in the playoffs. great work everyone!

[Caleb @calebjsaenz]

Wild that after all these huge trades and signings the whole Knicks season’s gonna come down to Mitchell Robinson being healthy lol

@cs_mcgowan while zach isn't quite as wacky as the stuff that was the most meaningful to me at the height of the blog era, it is worth noting he never stopped putting his personality in his work. his stuff is substantially weirder than a lot of the modern blog boys that copy him.

[Aaron McGuire @docrostov]

tbh, probably a net win for NBA fans since zach's phenomenal work won't get lost in a completely unorganized unsearchable mess like it does on the ESPN site. zach's the best. dearly hope he gets some fun time off with his fam & can return when inspiration hits.

we are moving to a new house today. part of my moving ritual is to rename the home wifi network. so long, KawhiFi (2012-2024). hello, WorldWideWemb🏀

@Biyombonesaw yeah i think the offensive power will likely win out, and they should be super fun to watch. but definitely some wonkiness, and they can't afford an age drop off from demar.

[Aaron McGuire @docrostov]

on the other end, derozan is a clear talent upgrade for the kings and i trust mike brown to solve it... but definitely a weird fit. defensively they're going to be a skosh worse, and while they can stagger their top 3, they're clearly closing with all three, right?

[Aaron McGuire @docrostov]

harrison barnes is no all-star but he's a good lunchpail guy that will be a great bridge to the next era. hyped the spurs got him, even moreso that they managed to get him + a small draft nugget.

[Aaron McGuire @docrostov]

@DewNO @andytobo good bit. unfun fact: my wife works in that house district and the kids she teach were like "are you married to that mcguire man running for congress?" and it suuuuucked. hate that man for messin' with my good name :(
