Brian WindhorstAnthony Edwards is the best player on Team USA
[Steve Kerr] came to Ant [Edwards] before they played. And he's like, 'Hey, you know, when team USA sometimes star players come off the bench'... and Ant was like, 'I was cool, but I didn't see Kobe on the roster.' And by the maybe the third exhibition game... Steve Kerr was like, 'yeah, actually he's our best player.'

HankThe Celtics' Game 1 win over the Pacers was a 'wake-up call win,' which is the best kind of win
It was a wake up call win, which are the best types of wake up calls... they overcame, they were stumbling at the end of the fourth quarter, couple of really bad turnovers. Jalen Brown was not playing good in the fourth quarter. And then he came up clutch when it mattered most.
PFT CommenterThe Pacers' Game 1 loss to the Celtics is the most demoralizing loss possible
This seems like the most demoralizing loss possible. The Pacers had the game won and they gave it away. And when you give a game away like that in the last like 20 seconds, it feels like even if it goes into overtime, there's nothing good that's gonna happen to you.
HankI predict the Celtics will blow out the Pacers in Game 2
Blowout wake up call. Celtics. They've been woken up. This was the perfect ending. It was a wake up call win.

View profileBrian WindhorstThe Thunder, Timberwolves, and Nuggets title windows will stay open through the end of the decade.
SGA is like 26. Jalen Williams is the third season, Chet, this is technically his third season, but he's only played two seasons. I could see these three guys, us talking about these three guys in playoff games like this for the rest of the decade.
Brian WindhorstThe Timberwolves will likely be forced to break up their core roster next season due to the salary cap.
I don't think they can keep this team together. The core, the big piece is they can, but, so Julius Randle's a free agent, Nickeil Alexander-Walker is a free agent, and Naz Reed is a free agent. He has an opt-out... I would be surprised if they were able to re-sign all three guys.
Brian WindhorstAaron Nesmith's ankle injury is a more significant X-factor for the Knicks-Pacers series than any tactical adjustment.
Another thing I'm gonna say is that a big factor is Aaron Nesmith's ankle. That potentially is a huge X factor. And another reason why, if you're a Knicks fan, you think that you can do it. That to me, more than any Xs and O thing or whatever lineup you wanna play or who's ever got a hot shot, that potentially is a huge X factor.
