Ellis is everything I hoped Okoro would be. Schroeder is everything I hoped Ball would be. Honeymoon Harden has been a pleasant surprise. Turns out replacing guys who can't play with guys either due to being bad or injured helps a good team

Early returns on James Harden, Jonathan Kuminga and the biggest trade deadline moves It's been a month since the trade deadline, so let's check in on how some of the bigger names are performing on their new teams.

At Y! Sports: A month removed from the 2026 NBA trade deadline, let's get caught up on how some familiar faces are doing in new places, in what many are calling "the only piece of writing published on the Internet today featuring Luke Kennard layups." yhoo.it/40dgnho

probably not the best tease I could have written

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 5, 2026 ANTHONY DAVIS INJURY UPDATE WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Washington Wizards announced today the following injury update for forward/center Anthony Davis: Davis, who is out with ligament damage in his left hand, was reevaluated Wednesday by Dr. Steven Shin of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He continues to progress as expected and has been cleared to begin limited individual on-court basketball activities. Davis will be reevaluated in two weeks, and further updates will be provided at that time.

"Hey, y'all hear about Tatum coming back? Wild, right? anyway, lemme just scoooooooooch past you so I can drop this off in here, sorry about that, will be out of your way in a sec"

Here we go. The most interesting subplot in the league the rest of the way.

"duke" it out

The Hornets walked into Boston, looked a top-six defense in the eyes, drilled 19 3s, had 26 assists against four turnovers, blew their doors off and walked out.

Would you like to know more about the scorching-hot Charlotte Hornets? @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social and I have you covered:

Yes, lest anyone think that a statement evaluating one team is necessarily and inherently a slight to another: the Thunder are also very good

Sorry — now 21-8 since, after drilling the Celtics. (The standings page hadn't reloaded yet.) This is only the second time since 2015 the Hornets have been over .500 this late in the season. Really incredible.

Pacers were 10-15 on Dec. 8. (After a loss to ... the Hornets!)

Went 40-17 the rest of the regular season, sixth on offense, eighth on defense.

Charlotte was 11-23 on Jan. 2. Have gone 20-8 since, first on offense, third on defense. Just a stunning turnaround.

pretty good time to listen to this episode

Hornets have won 6 straight games by 15+ points, the longest streak by any team since the 2017-18 Warriors.

It's tied for the 2nd-longest streak in NBA history.

ht: @stathead.com

Particularly hurts given the opportunity to close the gap on the Celtics, who got drilled by the Hornets in Boston. Knicks still 1.5 games out of second in the East.

Knicks had two good looks from 3 to tie it on the final possession, but neither Brunson nor OG can convert. Strong showing on the second night of a back-to-back against the champs, but come up just short.

OG and-one wiped off, Knick possession erased, KAT fifth foul, two FT for Dort. Pretty massive swings for OKC on challenges here midway through the fourth.

more and more people are saying this

Late to this, but @xavierjdesigns.bsky.social and @hothandtheory.bsky.social did a fantastic job on this one. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe_C...

Philly has a Jared McCain problem Daryl Morey could be correct about McCain having no future with the Sixers, leading to his trade. The problem is everything else the team did betrays the real motive here.

A chart comparing the DARKO Daily Plus-Minus progressions of Anthony Edwards and Dwyane Wade at different ages.

Though, now that you mention it ... pretty surprising!

Whoa, whoa, whoa: nobody said Ant "passed" Wade. It was a just stylistic point of comparison for the shift in Ant's game — going from a relentless downhill driver without a consistent long-range jumper to suddenly knocking down those Js at an elite rate.

AnthonyEdwards dazzles with the dribble, drills a stepback three, blows child's mind

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

Absolutely. And I'm glad I caught him scoring like 10 straight on increasingly wilder jumpers tonight, because "he's not Wemby or Jokic" shouldn't inure me to just how fuckin' cold and special what he *is* is
