Hard out
James Harden opts in to opt out. What now for the Big Fella and the Sixers?

NBA trades are not competitions
Trades in the NBA don't have to result in winners and losers, because "winning" trades is not the point. Winning games, now or later, is the point.

Is that all Marcus Smart meant to the Celtics?
Set aside sentimentality and gaze in wonder at how Boston decided what guard to move. And for what.

What the Spurs do now
With Victor Wembanyama en route, San Antonio's biggest need is at point guard. Is patience or boldness on the menu?

Jamal Murray is the perfect second star for Nikola Jokic
The chemistry, the playmaking, the shooting -- it's just a great match.

How I'm thinking about Nuggets vs. Heat
Nikola Jokic is inevitable. But are the other Nuggets? What happens if the Heat lock them down four times?

The immaculate Heat
Miami gets the breaks and makes their own, and they are headed back to the NBA Finals.

But they lost to the Hawks in the play-in!
Miami, who almost didn't make the playoffs, is a win away from the NBA Finals.

The NBA coaching carousel reaches terminal speed
Monty Williams is dismissed by a baffling billionaire. PLUS: Jayson Tatum chokes out the Sixers and Ja Morant is the bad influence.

Naptime for the Warriors
Golden State's season comes to a premature end. PLUS: Jalen Brunson literally isn't enough.

We should have 9 All-NBA teams, not 3
Let's go back to the top 10% of the league getting honored.

James Harden put on his big boy pants
PLUS: Nikola Jokic is the best player in the Suns vs. Nuggets series, in case you were wondering.

Bucked around, found out
Miami vanquishes the East favorite in five. PLUS: The Warriors conjure up a victory, the Knicks advance and the Grizzlies survive another day.

The Clippers' superteam goes missing again
PLUS: It's getting cold in Boston and a rant about the NBA's cowardly scheduling.

We need to shut down the 76ers until we figure out what's going on
PLUS: Local beam remains unlit and LA almost survives without Kawhi.

Another gut punch for the Timberwolves
PLUS: Maybe Miami is just not very good?

A play-in adjustment idea that leads to a playoff adjustment idea
PLUS: DeMar DeRozan's daughter exacts revenge on the Raptors for making her move to Texas. Also, Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Kuzma escalate their beef.
