3. Go ahead and marvel at Wemby all you want. Enjoy it while it lasts. Because with his size and aggressive play style, those twig legs of his are one hard foul or bad landing from snapping in half. And he'll never be the same again after that happens.

Hard not to agree, and I am enjoying him while it lasts and pulling for him. He seems likable.

But by the odds, he’s just not built for longevity. Similar with Chet, who has already had a couple uncommon injuries. Thunder paid him almost $50 mil per year, and gotta be crossing their fingers.

“… Yet Jones’s presence in the indictment is surely causing the most concern in Olympic Tower. Jones’s NBA playing career ended in 2009. He spent several years as an assistant in Cleveland before moving on from coaching, too. But he was very popular during his playing days—Jones played for 10 NBA teams—with a large collection of high-profile friends. Including LeBron James.

In the indictment, Jones is identified as an unofficial assistant coach for the Lakers during the 2022–23 season. Also named is “Player 3,” a teammate of Jones (which James was) who would later coach him (ditto). On Jan. 9, 2023, Jones claimed in text messages to associates that Player 3 would sit out the game against Milwaukee. “Get a big bet on Milwaukee tonight before the information is out,” Jones texted. James did not play that night. The Bucks won the game.

No one has suggested James knew anything about illegal bets, and it would be surprising if he did. But James is just one player in Jones’s extensive digital Rolodex; indeed, the indictment claims that Jones used his relationship with the Lakers and NBA personnel to access non-public information. Some within the league walls see the Rozier and Billups situations as containable, even viewing the indictments as a deterrent for years to come. Jones’s involvement, though, could cause the fallout to linger. And spread. …”
 
Great games again last night. Dubs showed a TON of grit coming back to tie it up and win in OT. Steph doing Steph things. Gordon was a video game and it wasn’t enough.

Shai going nuts as the gutsy Pacers pushed them to 2OT, again.

What an amazing week of action so far.
 
I can’t be the only one who noticed Chauncey wearing klutch sports gear on his perp walk 👀
