You could tell this would be a different kind of game than we’re used to from Landry Shamet when, early in the game, he grabbed a rebound, pushed it up the court, and instead of pulling it back out to wait for someone else to take the ball, he drove it straight to the rim….

For most players, a jump in production between seasons one and two is expected. The NBA is hard for a rookie to adjust to, but an off-season of refined workout techniques and a year of NBA games under one’s belt means that the second year is supposed to be significantly easier than the first. And…

It would have been neat if Landry Shamet’s clutch game-tying three near the end of the first overtime period had given the Clippers the strength to dominate the second OT to come away with the win. You’d think that the jubilation at being given another chance to win the game would have resulted in a…

Whose idea was it to only schedule one game for a whole night? Was there something else going on where the NBA didn’t want to compete? Was the Super Bowl happening without me being aware of it? Because here’s the deal: when there are no games, there are no highlights. Straight up. The correlation between…
