So until I get a few minutes to unpack all the boxes of strategy and organizational structure and sales plans that are cluttering my mind, here's a brief tour of the new season(s) on the hardwood.
We'll start with a Tribe-adjacent item. Now that I'm a VCU Dad, I've paid even more attention to the Rams than I might've previously. Many of you will recall my affinity for former Ram and now Denver Nugget rookie Nah'Shon 'Bones' Hyland. You should buy tickets on the Bonesmobile now, 'cause they're only gonna get more expensive.
After an immaculate career-high 18 points (and three assists, three boards, and two steals) in the Nuggets' blowout win over Portland, Bones is averaging 9.1 ppg, 2.3 apg, 2.1 rpg, and 1.0 spg through the first 10 games of his NBA career. According to local sources, he's the clear leader of Denver's second unit, bringing energy and a knack for scoring off the bench. He's got work to do on the defensive end of the court, but there's no doubt he belongs. And Nugs fans love him.
Closer to home, the Knightwolf hasn't had a breakout moment in Minnesota, but he has scored in consecutive games for the Timberwolves. Nate Knight got two against the Clips on Friday and another pair against the Lakers on Sunday. He's averaging 32 points per 48 minutes. Baby steps.
Been kinda avoiding actually getting to the point, because the point, well, it's not particularly enjoyable. The Wrens have lost their first two games, getting throttled at Wake Forest before coming home and losing by 12 to an American team picked to finish fifth in the Patriot League.
There's a long way to go, starting tonight at Norfolk State, and Dane Fischer has proven to be a solid head man. But this team looks to have a whole lot of room (and need) for improvement. Not sure I'm counting on this to be the year we go dancing.

At least the Gheorgheballs aren't tender or turgid. Did I hear on the radio that Ghita has a son hooping in college somewhere?
Was that on Gheorghe: The Radio Station?
ghitsa's older son graduated from gheorghetown, where he played sparingly. his younger son is a sophomore on the roster for the hoyas but didn't see any action his freshman year.
g:tb mush in full effect - bones had his worst professional game last night and nate didn't see the floor. i'd bet a lot of money on norfolk state tonight.
usmnt playing at jamaica at 5:00 in a world cup qualifier. they say that you want to win your home games and draw on the road in concacaf. but i say that anything less than a win would be a bit of a bummer after our strong performance against mexico on friday.
in related news, mexico are playing canada in edmonton this evening. temps at kickoff should be around -2 farenheit. that ain't gonna be fun for our neighbors to the south.
I hope none of our lads on the squad run into the machete squad Zman, Slick 50, SpecDoc and visited in Jamaica.
They could've been to the mushroom tea shop and figured a walk on the beach would be more chill than a road walk. They'd be wrong, just like we were.
big day in pet ownership for me. first, my cat met my company's ceo on a call this morning. then, i got to pick up my dog's shit with a leaf because i forgot to check to see if we had any bags on the leash.
no machetes involved, though that seems like a story that deserves a bit more fleshing out
I'm sure each of us would have a somewhat different recollection, but agree on that we wanted to keep those machetes as far from our flesh as possible.
I think we’ve told at least some of that story here before.
usmnt was bossing that game until michail antonio scored a worldy. that's a disappointing draw. also disappointing, if predictable, the tribe's 17-point halftime deficit at norfolk state.
Warriors-Nets is a highly entertaining. I’d watch a 7 game series between those two.
