Now that the NBA regular season is well underway, it’s really time to settle in and take it all in. But on Friday, the weird, crazy NBA season kept on churning.

Irving finished with 16 points and seven assists. Oh and they lost to the Bobcats. Welp. Weird season.

Finally, Eric Bledsoe took home the final spot in the ‘Lights thanks to his game-winner in the waning seconds of the Suns game against the Jazz. But first, he threw this sick no-look pass to Markieff Morris:
