NEW WORDS FROM ME @NoCeilingsNBA My annual tradition of publishing the "My Guys" column of the 2026 NBA Draft cycle!! Read below on the 6 guys that I would bet it all on to bring into my building from this draft class! Honorable Mention: Bruce Thornton noceilingsnba.com/p/draft-de…

I will say, VJ Edgecombe has struggled to fit in on offense and rightfully so. Hes (maybe never?) been the fifth-best player on his team. This is a kid who has been on an ascension his entire HS/college/rookie season in the NBA, now having to really adjust. I know he’ll do it.

So much better effort defensively in the second half for the 76ers. Reading passing lanes, playing fast, not settling for pull-up jumpers.

Domination inside so far by the Cavs against the 76ers. There’s lack of cohesion on offense similar to 1H against the Knicks, but this interior defensive effort, little boxing out, is just killing Philly.

During what should be an incredible NBA opening week, I've personally had the week from hell. Please keep myself, and my family, in your thoughts and prayers. Trying my best to put a smile on my face and keep covering basketball, but it's really, really hard right now.

Not a lot of positive debuts from the NBA’s rookie class last night…. But that’s professional ball! Welcome to the league rookies!! I’d say Keaton Wagler had the most balanced debut against Sacramento, but will go back through the tape on all these rookies.

I love when the NBA makes me look like a fool after just one game

Already knew I was going to love watching the Wizards this season. This game confirms that. This team is going to be FUN.

As expected, the Grizzlies have owned the paint so far against the Jazz. Great rebounding advantage, and the length at forward, not just center, hasn’t made life easy for the Jazz despite Keyonte George and Darryn Peterson doing their best.

Yea, Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball will be must-watch television in primetime. Damn these two are fun together

Zach Edey screen assists for Ty Jerome >>>>>

This Timberwolves offense has been BEAUTIFUL to watch. Everyone’s in control, and Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels have taken advantage of clean looks from deep. The LaMelo effect.

On Aday Mara: he looked as well as anyone could've hoped last night. Obviously the rejection-lob sequence is what you'll see on social media, but overall his movement is as good as I knew it was advertised, his touch, and you'll see more layers mixed in from the preseason as this year goes on. I can't wait to see more of him playing. Picked him All-Rookie Second Team on the pod.

Catching up on Spurs-Thunder this morning, MAN we need more of that. Stephon Castle hit some HUGE shots to keep San Antonio within striking distance, but a fully healthy OKC roster is still so versatile and dynamic offensively. That chess match will be just as excellent this year

That Cason Wallace floater is such a good shot for him to be able to get to, especially coming off that PnR action

Some of the 76ers shot selection and offensive flow hasn’t been great (though it’s been better in the 2nd half as they’ve shared the ball more) BUT a major positive is this team has controlled turnovers. Winning that margin will be HUGE for this team.

As expected. 76ers offense is ROUGH. But it’s what is going to happen until this team abandons 1v1 ball and starts playing a complementary offense. Going to take time to tone down those bad habits.

Love LeBron being used as a screener early on in this 76ers offense. That’s a whole new way to unlock functionality with this Philly group. DHO, slips, short rolls. LeBron can solve so many basketball problems working as the “big” in screening actions.

76ers Knicks… this is MY season tip-off. Welcome back to the NBA everyone!! Let’s basketball.

Pistons scrapping and clawing back in this game through defensive grit and movement threes. We have a ball game folks.
