Final: Thunder 125, Suns 114. Ajay Mitchell with 30 points and five assists; rookie Aday Mara with an 11-pt, 11-reb double-double. Phoenix's Devin Booker with just three points on 1-7 shooting.

Great way to start a back to back. Good job everyone! 🍀

Everything’s been good tonight except for the turnovers.

Seeing Conley out there is giving me flashbacks to Kenny Anderson.

Terrible prediction by me! PP was the pick!

I’m counting on a major contribution from Baylor in this one. Who you got?

No block there for DWhite but a very nice steal.

Do not like the turnovers. Clean it up!

Awesome first quarter from Tatum. As I said in the first half of the last one, this is exactly the version of him I want to see every night.

I love Tatum’s passing so far. Would love to see him average 7+ assists this season. And that’s aiming low imo.

It’s insane to call a marginal push off on a veteran All-NBA guy when the defender is a rookie. This is never how things have worked in the NBA.

I’m ready for Celtics-Bulls. I will not be entertaining questions about the “lamb chops and gravy” between Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown at this time. Thank you for respecting my privacy and the privacy of my family during this tumultuous period.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

This is incredibly pathetic. Someone needs to step in and fix this, truly. It’s an embarrassment for the WNBA AND the NBA. Totally avoidable! They keep talking about it like, “Oh, there’s just nothing to be done. It’s impossible to fix.” No, it isn’t! It obviously could be fixed!

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

nytimes.comNBA announces partnership with prediction markets Kalshi, PolymarketThe deal makes Kalshi and Polymarket the league's preferred prediction markets and will expand the NBA's partnership with DraftKings.

Gross.

Mike Vorkunov@mikevorkunov.bsky.social

The NBA has reached deals with Kalshi and Polymarket to make them the league's preferred prediction markets partners. The companies can now use NBA IP on their platforms, while the NBA gets right of approval on markets that they offer. That and more: www.nytimes.com/athletic/772...

Holy shit. Lula won? Amazing news!

“Good to meet you” lied the introvert while dying inside.

For all the reasons to have disdain for the Cheesecake Factory, the most important is that it is the birthplace of the execrable phrase, “Have you dined with us before?”

nytimes.comIs it time for the NBA to start looking at the WNBA’s coaches? (Gift Article)In the wake of Game 4 of the WNBA Finals in particular, the Valkyries' Natalie Nakase looks like a potential option.

Maybe if the coaches in question are men. Otherwise, probably not. We must protect women in sports. (By segregating them as much as possible.)

I may need to mute the words “Jaylen Brown” as well as “beef” and perhaps “lamb chops” on this site.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

When Trump talks about how factory jobs are the best jobs, he means working at the Cheesecake Factory.

THE FACTORY

Trash. Neither the morally justifiable position nor smart politically. Just stupid, strategist-driven nonsense.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Obama’s been watching the same viral Ossoff clips as the rest of us.

I grew up in Nashville, which in 1996 was very much still the median American city, and this is absolutely true.

Good win. Great game from Tatum. Need more from the supporting cast in general, but 1-1 through these two games is A-Ok.

Name a Quote from a Netflix or HBO Show.

I’m gonna blow a gasket if we lose this one.

Hart fouled Tatum with his face. Come on now.

The rare case where I wanted Tatum to take the step back.

KAT traveled on that and one. Basket should not have counted.

Fantastic quarter all around.

Who would have predicted that Neemi, not Luke Kornet, would be a 3-point slinging center for the Boston Celtics?

This is exactly the Tatum I want every game.

I like Stan Van Gundy okay in general, but he’s wrong on almost every 50/50 call.

In all my years of voting, it was never personal. But Vivek.. I’m going to enjoy it. Very, very much.

I know ppl have problems with Ossoff (Laken Riley Act, etc), but I love the way he puts his opponents on the back foot. And unlike Republicans, he doesn’t have to make shit up. He just reads their own words back to them and forces them into defending themselves. Simple and effective.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Ossoff: "Mike Collins should explain his votes for the war, tariffs, and healthcare cuts, and he should come out and explain this morning's CNN report. If Mike Collins does not come out today and respond to this CNN reporting, then he is a coward." Here's the report: www.cnn.com/2026/10/23/p...

Q: Now that you know the backstory about Amy Acton and her stepfather and why she hasn't talked to her mom in so long -- her stepfather was indicted for rape -- do you change your mind about the ad? TRUMP: No. No. It's a mother speaking badly against Amy Acton. You don't know anything.

I’ll probably miss the beginning of Celtics-Knicks tonight so I expect you knuckleheads to hold it down. Don’t disappoint me! Last night I missed the first quarter of the Pats game and look how that went!

The JT-JB story, as ever, is stupid. Look, the front office probably did consult with Tatum. That’s a smart thing to do, and Brad is smart. The question for someone like Stephen A - but also for JB himself - is how the Cs would have functioned as an org going forward with two guys on max contracts.
