Work don't stop 💪

A competitive group focused on getting better 💪

Also, Derik Queen, revisiting the Pels/Hawks trade -- and how it influences the coming trade deadline. New ZL Show! -->

Random takes include: Edey, Embiid, big man combos I'm monitoring, Cup courts, British accents -- much more! New ZL Show -->

The texts I got from around the league during OKC's demolition of Phoenix, whether they can win 33 straight and 73+, OKC vs The Field for the title, much more! New ZL Show -->

Sad Mets Corner! -->

OKC chasing history, do we crave dynasties again?, the state of the mega-trade/Giannis, NYK grooving, trade buzz, much more NBA w/ @HowardBeck -- new ZL Show -->

Zach Edey’s injury news is a bummer. He’s been great. Ja Morant is returning soon tho. Grizzlies have won 7/10 without him. Playing with pace + ball movement. If he screws it all up, and they go back to playing slow and stagnant, it'll be obvious they need to explore Ja trades. Memphis has a clearly bright future with lotto picks like Edey and Coward, and second rounders like Wells and Spencer, plus the haul of first round picks for Bane. But the Bane trade also shows the Grizzlies aren't afraid to move on from the old core to build for the future. It’d be nice to see this whole group together but I start saying they need to blow it up—Ja and JJJ are both only just turned 26, so it could work with everyone. But that’s exactly why, with or without Edey for this next month or so, the pressure is on Ja to start fitting in. The system and supporting pieces seem ideal if he just adapts a little bit by making quicker decisions offensively and putting in greater effort on defense. The road map is so clear considering how well the Grizzlies play without him. So we’re all about to find out if Ja can evolve, otherwise it’ll be quite clear what needs to happen in Memphis.

We had fun. We're having fun.

What about a Spurs package without Castle or Harper? (Not saying Bucks should do it, just from San Antonio’s standpoint.)

Spot on. Every word is true.

Amazing how much more complete the Spurs are this year. They go 8-3 without Wemby and it’s a different guy almost every night going off. Last night: Stephon Castle with 30/10/6 on 10/14 from the floor. Can’t wait for Saturday vs OKC hopefully with Wemby.

The man is almost 41 years old 😂😂

Kuminga has one month to figure out Kerr's motion offense or he's getting converted to a rebounding big man. The Warriors flow better when he's not disrupting ball movement. His corner threes could save him, but if he can't adapt, trade talks will heat up.⁣ Link to full vid:

How many games will OKC win?

Jaime giving back to the kids this holiday season ❤️🎁

Back on @NBAonPrime tonight -- like now! -- reacting to last night's games, looking ahead to Cup semis! Tune in!

Hey @SeanFennessey are we feuding with @MalloryRubin now

Farewell, sweet polar bear. (Right as I get back into the Mets. True trial by fire)

THE BANE EVENT: Orlando joins New York in Las Vegas as a first-time Semifinalist after rallying past the Miami Heat in the Quarterfinals last night. Desmond Bane continued to show why the Magic acquired him in a trade last June, scoring 37 points for the third time in six games.

Jalen Brunson’s basketball memory is insane 🤯 JB ran the same action last night that the Heat used against them in the 2023 playoffs!
