Discussing Ron Holland, Chaz Lanier, roster construction & more! Summer League has wrapped up and we are fully in the dog-days of the NBA schedule. But there is plenty to be excited about with the Detroit Pistons! Blake and Wes break down Ron Holland’s impressive showing at summer league and Chaz Lanier performing at expectation. They also discuss some minor concern for Bobbie Klintman, if there is enough shooting in the rotation and whether or not there is any credence to the recent Cam Thoma...

After a tumultuous offseason, the veterans who supported Detroit’s young core have almost all been replaced Let’s take a walk down memory lane and review some team-building trends in the NBA over the last 20 years. Let me take you back first, to the 2010s, where the NBA was dominated by the “big three.” After LeBron James famously took his talents to South Beach, the name of the game in the Association became trying to get a trio of star players in one place and fill out the rest of the roster...

Another game for the 2025-26 is on the books… Jon Rothstein is sharing that his sources are noting that Villanova will begin a home-and-home this season with an old BIG EAST foe, Pitt. This will be the first meeting between the cross-state schools since 2013. Historically, the series is very even with the Panthers holding […]

Ever noticed how some chores around the house feel never-ending, but a few are actually kind of fun? Trimming the lawn might not sound exciting, but there’s one tool that makes it way more satisfying than expected. It’s loud, it spins fast, and it clears up all those scruffy patches around fences and flower beds. [...]

The Nats season is over in the "compete for anything worthwhile" but it's far from over in the "kids development sense" we know about the kids that are here and doing well. What's coming down the pike? More time for kids here Brady House - looks like a talented kid up for the first time. Strong swing, solid form but he's getting fooled a lot. Works out to about an average bat in his limited time. A little iffy in the field so far. If he can just slightly i...

The New Orleans Pelicans went winless in Las Vegas Summer League. Again. That’s 0-5 this year and an 11-game losing streak dating back to 2023, the longest such stretch in the event’s history. No, Summer League isn’t about wins and losses. However, it gives fans and front offices a gauge of where their young players […]

Everything? Ha ha. No! Didn't you read the last post? There are some good and in the comments I mention the sort of neither good or bad (Garcia, Irvin, Parker, all the kids just getting their feet wet) But there are some bad things. You can't be 20 games under at the All-Star break on luck alone. Plan Ruiners Keibert Ruiz had a hot start making optimistic Nats fans say "forget about the last few years! Maybe he was hurt!" Nope. He stinks! Always bad behind the pl...

With the team reeling there isn't much to say here but we generally start out with right so... Unqualified Successes James Wood is a bonafide star. All-Star. HR Derby participant. On pace for 40 homers, 100 RBIs, and 100 walks. He strikes out a bit much and never developed the skills in the field you'd hope but at 22 he's one of the best bats in the game and likely to get even better. He's a build around player. MacKenzie Gore is an ace. Maybe not a Skenes ...

The Nats did not get better after the firings. The 1-5 run isn't anything off than expected, facing two good teams away from home 2-4 is the baseline with 1-5 and 3-3 happening almost as easy. This is not a good team, and it's still being run by Davey's guys so don't expect any miracles. The big thing that happened was the draft. I don't usually care much about the draft, but in the past the Nats having the #1 pick with generational talents has made me take a closer look at it. That was ...
