Think @chrispongrass has done an outstanding job this summer both with deals big and small. Xavier Cooks most important, but building around Cooks as your primary isn't simple. Need frontcourt shooting with him. Getting Spurgin and Leaupepe from CBB is REALLY good roster building

Talked about this on the podcast after Game 2, but totally agree with Kenny on the lack of urgency from Suns and overall stagnation on offense in Game 3 too. Never collapse defenses or get them scrambling. Total credit to the Wolves but it's so stationary.

I don't agree with Draymond on this, but I love him just being willing to say whatever even about Klutch guys. Would be super easy for him to fall into line on that. But he decided against it. Respect that a lot. We know his media career will be good, but another positive.

I had some questions about how the PJ Washington experience would work in Dallas after the way his last couple years went in Charlotte, and he's answered every single one. Has brought exactly what Dallas hoped for from him on defense and in terms of toughness.

Just watching Sixers-Knicks now. It's a shame that Joel Embiid game is going to get overshadowed by that bullshit move he pulled on MitchRob because my god that was unbelievable by him. Just an unbelievable basketball player.

Hand up: totally thought the Heat were just entirely out-gunned and out-manned in this series and thought it would be a sweep. I did not respect the Miami Heat and Erik Spoelstra's dark arts enough.

Boston might want to start contesting some 3-pointers at some point. Third quarter has been pretty rough.
