    They worded this strangely, because this is clearly from that workout he did with Steph a few weeks back.

    If it makes you feel better, my sources told me after the game Scoot is going to spend time with Dame and do a sitting-out workout.

    Here's what Dame is doing.

    1. Calling Goodwin 10 reps for hand strength. Yes, he has him on speed dial, but still.
    2. Five reps of cryptic tweets.
    3. Stretching on his couch to find the most comfortable position.
    4. Freestyling diss tracks about Joe Cronin -- works for mental accuity.
    5. Run cross country away from the grind.

    Scoot is looking like the dude in front of Westbrook at subway taking the last of the lean protein.

    I see people posting odds.

    Scoot 20+ +120
    Wembenyama 20+ +130

    Not sure how I feel about either.

    Surprising to see it slightly more likely odds wise for Scoot to score 20+?

    But what about him and his wife trying to block low income housing being built behind their mansion at the bottom of the hill?

    I love that you bring up Westbrook. That is who Jay Billis and a couple others are comparing his game to. I've brought it up a couple times here with no response. Imagine that we could be getting a Hall of Fame in this kid who could break records that at one point seemed untouchable. I'm excited.

    I expect Whitmore to come out aggressive. The man has to have a chip on his shoulders...

    Maybe THAT'S why he slipped in the draft?
