This is the Knicks' MO right? Like how they always make a big deal about C-list celebrities like Pete Davidson and Fat Joe being in attendance.

This has to be the end of the Clippers as presently constructed. I don't think Paul George will re-sign. Watch for him to go to Philadelphia - they can sign him to the max that LA apparently is hesitant to give.

With Allen out, I'm not surprised about the rebounding. The turnovers are a different story. Garland's eight-second violation during the final few minutes was completely inexcusable.

I've loved that the games are on NBA TV - saved me $80 in a Youtube TV subscription.

I don't think many people are watching this Cavs-Magic series, but Paolo Banchero has arrived. That guy is a hell of a player. Deadly mid-range game.

Denver should be worried about Minnesota regardless of Murray's status.

Also pulling for the Clippers, only because Luka stans are the most obnoxious people in NBA fandom.

Now that my Cavs are staring at a first-round exit again, I'm really pulling for the Knicks. A hard-nosed team that plays without ego and never gets intimidated. Signing Brunson instead of trading half their assets for Mitchell is already one of the smartest moves in recent NBA history. Brunson...

I just learned today that the leader of the band is formerly of the post-punk group Women, who were awesome in their own right.

I'll say it again: New York is the biggest threat to Boston in the East. They can knock Tatum and Porzingis around enough to throw Boston off their three point game, and they've got a flair for winning late-game 50/50 situations.

Not defending LA, but those Memphis reserves have a lot of grit. They gave Cleveland a hell of a fight until the fourth quarter the other night. Speaking of my Cavs, they have an interesting choice on Sunday. Locked into the 4 seed at least, but potentially go as high as 2 with a win. I think...

Apropos of nothing, I really like the dunking astronaut logo the Rockets are using now.

Nobody seems to want the 2 seed in the East.

I really don't like the "bonus bet" incentives companies like Caesars give. It's completely predatory. The advertising these companies are allowed to do should be much more strictly regulated.

Really impressed with the new Adrianne Lenker album. I hated Vampire Empire in the full band style, but it sounds so much better in the stripped-down, slower-tempo version.
