Stick To One Sport

Because sometimes I'm going to want to write about cricket.

De'Aaron Fox has it

De'Aaron Fox has it

De'Aaron Fox did not really have a great game last night. He was only 4-of-13 from the field, and 3-of-7 from the free throw line. He did finish with 11 points, seven assists and only one turnover, so it wasn't completely irredeemable. But at one point late in the third and through most of the fourth, he missed seven straight attempts. It was rough, and it looked rough.

The question is omnipresent at this point: How did this guy go 27th? Kyle Kuzma had another impact game on Thursday night for the Lakers, scoring 22 on 10-of-17 shooting as Los Angeles narrowly lost to Portland 113-110. It's not any kind of revelation at this point to note that Kuzma is playing well past what people were projecting for him just a few months ago. He lit up Summer League and already had five 15-plus point games to his name before Thursday night. His offensive g

End free throws

Last night, the Lakers and Pistons played almost the entirety of the first half without taking a single free throw between them. Detroit didn't get their first until midway through the fourth quarter. It was kind of surreal. It was also kind of great. I've had plenty of ideas about how to better structure the NBA season - everything from how the schedule could be changed to how soccer-style "cup" competitions could be introduced - but mostly I think the rules of the game are
