I rewatched every bucket and foul drawn from Bam's 83. An incredible and totally weird achievement. And truly, in that sense, the best of the NBA. www.teamziller.com/how-the-hell...

If the Hawks would have just called it Ass-piration night Adam Silver would have ignored it

Brilliant idea from @teamziller.bsky.social:
"New lottery rule: you lose lottery combinations for every start by a player without an NBA.com profile photo. Full employment for photographers!"

wildest sports event of the weekend: the 3 leaders at the USA half-marathon national championship followed a motorcycle which led them off-course, costing them the race, prize money and spots at the World Championships

I think "killing children is always bad" is maybe the easiest simplest position to hold.
Deandre Ayton is right: he is not no Clint Capela. He and the Lakers should be so lucky!
Thanks be to DA, in all seriousness, for giving me an opportunity to ramble about how good Capela was for a very, very good team: www.teamziller.com/deandre-ayto...

Wrote about Rick Carlisle's rant about the tanking fine, and why the NBA policing tanking is totally absurd and absolutely necessary www.teamziller.com/rick-carlisl...
An update concept of rookie free agency. No system is without flaws, but I do think it would end up better for the league and its teams than the draft. www.teamziller.com/abolish-nba-...
Wrote about what the Pistons and Spurs (who meet tonight on Peacock, must-watch) are trying to do, go from no playoff wins in at least five years to a title. One team has done it in the past 15 years. www.teamziller.com/pistons-spur...
That's not my take, I prefer letting the lotto decide all 14 picks instead of the top 4, which makes it marginally more possible for the worst teams to slide far and ruins all the jockeying for pick protection thresholds. I really prefer abolishing the draft, of course.
locked and loaded if this thing turns on me
Always love writing a piece that I'm unsure will result in appreciation or anger from the fandom of the team in focus. www.teamziller.com/detroit-pist...
