RIP Duvall.

@AdamHimmelsbach Would love someone to ask JT how the reconditioning part of the rehab is going and what he is focusing on there. Considering if he does come back, the ramp up to the playoffs will be condensed and he will likely be on a minutes restriction.

Willa's scream after she shoots Tim, paired with her delivery of "WHO ARE YOU!" is not only damn good acting, but each time I've seen it, the emotional toll gets bigger and bigger.

Superb.

I'm already deeply in the bag for Trier, but the way he crafts these moments is masterful.

[Matt Strout @TheRealStrout]

There is this little detail in SENTIMENTAL VALUE that I can't stop thinking about.

[Matt Strout @TheRealStrout]

The Celtics are 27th and 28th in EFG% and TS% through 8 games.

[Matt Strout @TheRealStrout]

Good effort from the Celtics.

Liked a lot more of the half court stuff they did tonight on offense. Bigs worked hard.

[Matt Strout @TheRealStrout]

Others have pointed it out but the league will not touch the details that allegedly a team admittedly tanked and it’s coach in turn sold that information for bets.

The NBA's memo to teams on Monday, obtained by ESPN:

[Matt Strout @TheRealStrout]

2025 nba draft class is very good

[Matt Strout @TheRealStrout]

@TrillBroDude No “Mr. Big shot” for billups is insult to injury from the govt.

[Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix]

Per the indictment, Damon Jones allegedly revealed information about a prominent player Jones has played or coached with missing a Lakers-Bucks game in 2023. LeBron James, who Jones played with and coached in Cleveland, sat out the game

[Matt Strout @TheRealStrout]

Loving the Pritchard/Simons/Brown/White/Tillman lineup

[Matt Strout @TheRealStrout]

No teeth on defense. Effort is kinda there but it’s been way too easy getting into the paint for Philly.

[Matt Strout @TheRealStrout]

Edgecomb. Holy smokes.
