🔥HHT Ep #95🔥
After a slow start to the season the Pelicans have won 3 straight, but XJ and Geoff think something bigger might be happening:
🔹finally putting Zion in space
🔹Fears+Queen development window
And more

As someone who had dealt with chronic unexplained illness at varying degrees of debility, it's very difficult for people to understand on the outside what that is like.
Glad KP is prioritizing his health. It's imo much harder a choice than you'd think.

Well damn. I guess I'm gunna be watching me some Pelicans.

XJ has been wanting to talk about Zion forever. Well worth the wait, he crushed it per usual.

In our Celtics video essay, we talked about how part of Boston's goal around acquiring Paul George was incorporating his elite defensive playmaking as part of their possession maxing.
This is likely one of the reasons BOS thought the Brown/George swap could be a net positive.

Feels good to be back writing again. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read 🙏
The Cleveland Cavaliers are the NBA's longest unsolved puzzle. But @byjackh thinks the addition of Peyton Watson solves multiple rotation problems at once and could finally be the answer the Cavs are looking for.

I hated the Garland/Harden swap but Watson was definitely the best upside addition available to the Cavs once they went that route.
I think Jack makes an extremely compelling case for Watson the player and also the doors he opens up to Kenny Atkinson in structuring the rotation.

Easily the funniest part about the NBA season is every single night there’s a not insignificant subset of fans whose team lost acting like the sky is falling. For six straight months. It’s incredible.

JJJ
Kon Knueppel
Paolo Banchero
Jalen Suggs
Jalen Williams
Jalen Duren
Cason Wallace
Ivica Zubac
Kawhi Leonard
I'm sure I missed some.
That doesn't even include guys who were already out (Coby, BI, DDV, Butler, KP, Moody, Strus).
The season started a week ago.

What happened in the time the Orlando Magic took the lead in the 4th quarter?
I break down how to blow a lead in a minute and half

I truly don't think we're talking enough about what we're seeing from Ace Bailey. This guy was known as a bonafide hooper out of college, has been asked to be a super role player, and not only embraced it but is THRIVING in the role. Really impressive.
