I write and talk about the NBA, especially the salary cap, CBA and roster construction stuff. I do these things for Spotrac, NBA Front Office Show and The Basketball Bulletin. Any nonsense you see here is from me, not my employers.

Big-time shot by Jalen Suggs. It would be huge for the Magic to close out this game on the road in New York.

Is there a Pistons challenge to see if they take a new player out of the lineup every day and can keep winning every game?

I’m doing some G League roster updates, and I know it’s a rehab assignment, but this still made me chuckle!

Jaylen Brown never got a body on Kelly Oubre Jr on that play. Celtics got the stop, but couldn't finish it with the rebound. Feels like a feature and not a bug at this point with Boston and the lack of rebounding.

Really good defense by Jordan Walsh against Tyrese Maxey on the last two possessions. Was able to stay in front and force Maxey into two really tough looks.

I'd like to see Joel Embiid get and stay some sort of healthy. But this version of the Sixers is a lot of fun!

Celtics are doing a lot of scrambling around tonight. They've forced a few turnovers, but they've also given up a lot of open shots so far.

As best I can tell from looking through box scores and game logs, the last two games were the first time in his career that Chris Paul has been a DNP-CD in consecutive games.

Firing Nico Harrison makes sense for the Mavs. You can't undo what's been done, but a fresh start is necessary. Crucially, a fresh start without any attachment to the players who are currently on the roster, minus Cooper Flagg who should be untouchable. Everyone else? Worth a conversation.

This is Luka's Garza best game as a Celtic so far. He had a good game vs the Pelicans too, but the Magic are a higher caliber of opponent by quite a margin.

This is the best game Desmond Bane has played for Orlando since opening night. Giving the Magic everything they hoped he would. He's played pretty solid defense too.
