    a comedy where Clarence and Knicks in ‘26 live together as divorced roommates

    These two are clearly a comic duo. They’d be great together.

    Folks, Andre Drummond warmed the bench for a guy named Adem Bona last two seasons and then Philly was super excited to replace him with Huk. Give me break with all this Drummond optimism please…

    You got me there.

    I can only carry my Mitch grief for so long, though.

    I’m in my “the Knicks are champs & Drummond will be fine” era now.

    I’m in the “Drummond is going to be this years Clarkson and will learn to adapt and play defense for championship Knicks team” thinking

    I guess they had to choose between LeBron vs his old team and Brown vs his old team, and they went with the bigger star, even if Brown is probably more important to this Sixers team.

    ETA: There is for some reason a Celtics-Pistons game at 3 p.m. on opening day, a few hours before our game against Philly.

    i love having a random third opening day afternoon game. the anti-tank provisions weren’t perfect but they were far better than expected. this season should be a marked improvement on the badly leaking nba regular season ship.

    The Christmas Day slate of games is so weird. I understand why they did Knicks/Spurs but it does mess up the other games because instead of OKC/SAS and Denver/Minnesota they had to do OKC/Minnesota. And I understand why LAL is playing but if you’re doing LeBron vs a former team Cleveland and Miami are more interesting storylines.

    Also, poor Cleveland made the ECF and didn’t get an opening night game, which are usually the CF teams, or a Christmas gang.

    Knicks/Spurs Christmas is going to be on ABC right? There’s no way they’d put it on ESPN?

    Last year’s Christmas game vs Cavs was both/simultaneous, so good chance for that again.
