    Bucks player Sterling Brown had a knee to his neck and was punched by Milwaukee PD for parking incorrectly. Former Buck John Henson had the cops called on him while shopping for jewelry, just for being black. This is personal to them.

    Kyle Korver scrum ends. Then Kyle interjects: "Can I just say one more thing?" Cameras come back, mics turn back on. Then he delivers this soliloquy about Donovan Mitchell.

    Will Hardy: "In the second half, it seemed like everybody in the gym knew that Dalton Knecht was going to shoot the next shot, with the exception of a few people. The problem was that those few people were on our team."

    Respectfully, if Damian Lillard wanted to play in Miami, period, he should not have signed an extension to play for Portland through 2027. Period.
    News: Regarding report about message to non Heat teams, Lillard's agent, Aaron Goodwin, tells me: "I do what I should for my client. Some teams I did call. Other teams have called me. It's a respectful relationship with most teams. Truthfully, he wants to play in Miami. Period."

    Just poor refereeing from Ismail Elfath there. Worse VARing from Armando Villarreal. The best refs MLS has to offer.

    Obviously, multiple former teammates of Thabo Sefolosha, who had his leg broken by NYPD (!!!) are on the Bucks.

    Basically... the advanced stats all favor Kessler, and I've always been an analytically-oriented voter. I think I would have made this vote even if I covered another team. Here's where the rookies rank in EPM, and here's what I wrote in explaining my vote.

    This happened in Utah… Duke played BYU yesterday. We must admit that we have a racism problem in Utah and take action against it.
