NBA One Guy (the East!), a Man City Punishment Primer, and Tom Cruise’s Bomb

BillWe don't need to dive into this, but Jalen's obviously the guy for this.

BillMaking this as concise as possible. There's going to be nights where they need him to be last year's Jalen Brown.

BillAnd there's going to be other nights where they're going to ask him to basically be Lou Dort on the Thunder last year.

BillAnd just, can you stand over there and just stay out of the way? And how he handles that will be one of the many fascinating things about their season. because there's gonna be nights where like, hey, can you just set some picks and guard somebody and maybe take 10 shots? And I don't know if he's gonna handle that well, would be my guess.

Yeah, the Maxi -Brown dynamic will be interesting to watch, but in terms of like satiating him over the course of the season, this is a unique situation with him beating LeBron, who, oh, shocker, he's 41 from those reports that kind of went around yesterday. It's like, yeah, his feet and his back hurt.

Big shock.

There are gonna be enough openings over the course of this season, I think, to make Jalen happy.
