So this is now, officially, real. It is a labor of love for hoops, edited w/ @johnhollinger. The great @ShotDrJr did the thing, combing through each of the 100 essays from our incredible NBA staff at @TheAthletic. Pre-orders available now; drops 11/26. Humbly, it's a good read.

Why this man is about to win his 1,000th NBA game sometime in the next couple of weeks. The standard is the standard, whether you're competing for an NBA title or trying to make a 3-16 team better:

Really enjoyed this quote from Coach Rick Carlisle about commitment to defense, not celebrating a win when you're 3-16 and what type of guys will be playing on this team: "Defense in today's NBA has to be coached hard. Has to be coached hard by the Head Coach, the Defensive…



At Commanders-Broncos Sunday night: Washington will wear Super Bowl era alternate uniforms. Honorary captains: Doug Williams, Charles Mann, Dexter Manley. Toys for Tots: team will collect new, unopened toys/$$$ at Gates A, D, E, and H from 6p – end of first quarter. And:

Modern day football. I get it. But going for it on fourth and 3 from midfield up seven with 90 seconds left...hey, big Aunt Bunny catch by Dontayvion Wicks to seal it. #iykyk


PMers: CJ McCollum got on a heater (46 points) Tuesday, leading the Wizards past Atlanta for their first-ever Cup win. It was a reminder of what Washington could look like with a lead frontman that brings out the best from the band. In @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/68380…


It's a real, real honor to be included with this group – most of whom still speak with me. :-)

Dan Quinn says that this week is for starting the ramp-up for Jayden Daniels, though it's very unlikely he'll play Sunday. Concurrent w/that is the opinion of the medical staff on when Daniels can go full in practice: "Until that happens, you can't really take the next step."


Per Dan Quinn, the Commanders are close to a "full crew" again. That includes Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown, who are practicing this week; how full they're going wasn't detailed.

Wizards break their 14-game losing streak, and win for the first time in 10 tries in NBA Cup play over the past two-plus seasons, with a 132-113 win over the Hawks at Capital One Arena. C.J. McCollum goes for 46 points, on 10 of 13 shooting from 3. Alex Sarr adds 27 and 11.


So, the Wizards are struggling this season. But they're up 111-78 over Atlanta after three quarters. If they don't get outscored by 34 in the fourth, this will be their first win at home since last April 2, over Sacramento. They've lost eight straight at Capital One since then.


Hawks' current starting lineup – Jalen Johnson (1), Dyson Daniels (5), Nickeil Alexander-Walker (7), Kristaps Porziņģis (8) and Zaccharie Risacher (10) – could have the lowest jersey number total in the league, at 31.


PMers: The NBA’s first month has featured great performances from expected (OKC) & unexpected (Daniss Jenkins!!) sources. But there have also been injuries to multiple superstars. What will the league & its key stakeholders do about it? In @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/68335…

The most successful high school in the history of the United States .... just keeps being successful. #OneDeMatha

DeMatha wins 20-13. The school's 26th title in football, 19th under Bill McGregor.



Absolute dominance from @AU_Volleyball all season, and throughout the @PatriotLeague tournament. Straight sets over Army in the PL final. Seventeenth straight win this season. Seventeenth PL championship and NCAA Tournament appearance. Go Eagles!
