And for something completely (not) different, it’ll be VanVleet, Trent, Anunoby, Barnes and Siakam to start
Can’t imagine any of them will play more than the 15-17 minutes of Game 1 (9 for Fred as they gave him three quarters off to calm The Minutes Police) – 6:41 PM

Only one team (the Spurs) tanked their way to a championship in the last 25 years. ONE. Yet so many waste away seasons while getting lapped by the smarter teams (Warriors, Heat, Raptors). It’s a dumb strategy. – 5:00 PM

Victor Wembanyama seems impossibly tall, even for the NBA. Here he is last night next to Tremont Waters, his teammate and former Celtics PG.
