"I feel like we're comfortable with it. We've finished games with this lineup before.”
The Spurs’ bold decision to start 3 guards certainly comes with positive tradeoffs, but an 0-2 start won’t go unnoticed.

"We didn't get a chance to do it last year — this is what it was supposed to look like before.”
The Rockets are racing, spacing and most importantly, healthy. It’s October so no one knows what it means, but it’s provocative.

It's somewhat ironic that the Thunder's greatest display of strength came as their 7-foot center was flung to the ground by a man nearly a foot shorter. But rivalries are an inexact science.

Free agency, trades, the draft, extensions, etc. — a ton has happened since the last NBA game. How has it changed the big picture?

Wemby's gravity is unlike anything the Spurs — or the NBA — have seen before. So I asked him how his presence benefits those around him.
On the new 3-guard lineup and why chemistry matters just as much as concept. New words for @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article…

“We felt that they could both play with a joy that would be reflective of one another.”

We're about to find out how much a new head coach can matter for a team whose biggest roster change was swapping Moe Wagner for Nikola Vucevic. On the challenges ahead for Sean Sweeney and the Orlando Magic: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article…

While I was at Knicks media day, @JeffEisenberg checked in on the smoking crater where the Clippers used to be: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article…
And @KellyIko was in Philadelphia for our first look at LeBron James as a 76er: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article…
"I think in this situation, there is no comfortability to be had."
At @YahooSports: Wrote about a surprisingly downbeat Knicks media day, where stalled extension talks for Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart trumped any post-championship exultation: tinyurl.com/3yz27spb
Kelly Iko retweeted
“We're speaking the same language.”
As 76ers training camp opens and championship dreams begin to manifest, LeBron James is preaching patience — but he isn’t here to waste the twilight of his career.

The loss of Mitchell Robinson is the one negative about this summer for the Knicks. But what if Andre Drummond and more minutes to go around ends up beneficial to New York? New on @YahooSports: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article…

The Nuggets have spent years trying to survive the minutes without Nikola Jokic. This year's backup center group? Marvin Bagley, DaRon Holmes, Zeke Nnaji, and Trevon Brazile.
Oof.
