I messed up. Last Day of the Cyber Monday sale!
So I did not intend to do that spammy, manipulative thing websites do where they say a sale ends on a certain day, and then they’re like, “Surprise! You have ONE MORE DAY!”
But I did! Apparently, I just fat-fingered when the sale should end, which I guess means you’re in luck if you forgot to sign up for the best deal in NBA writing (or to buy one for your loved ones). Just $22.50 for a year’s subscription, 25% off the ridiculously low list price.
I’ve had a surprising number of people take advantage of the offer so far, which is both great and a little bruising to my ego. Mostly great, though, so please continue to insult me by taking advantage of this incredible deal before it (actually) expires:
In case you want to go straight to the good stuff, here are some recent paywalled pieces that I and/or readers rather liked:
First Quarter Awards for the 2024-25 NBA Season
It’s hard to believe, but we’re already at the quarter-mark of the season. We’re at the point where many of the early-season statistical mirages have started to either fade or solidify. Nothing is set in stone, of course, but a 20-ish game sample is a significant chunk of the season.
Next, a debunking of the “everyone plays the same” theory I keep hearing:
How differently do NBA teams play today?
I’ve spent a lot of time in my stupid, dumb brace watching basketball this last week, and it struck me just how differently every team plays on a night-to-night basis. Despite certain extra-large broadcast partners suggesting that every game is the same — a race to jack up threes — I could not disagree more. Curry’s Warriors look nothing like Jokic’s Nuggets look nothing like Tatum’s Celtics, right? (Right!)
