We open with some thoughts on how the in-season tournament is going so far, and how it can be further legitimized, before turning our attention to some under-the-radar storylines that have caught our attention during the first three-plus weeks of the season. We hit on Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers' historic offense, the Celtics' wacky cross-matching defense, Anthony Edwards' newfound mid-range mastery, the sorry state of the Warriors' starting lineup, the Knicks' hellacious rebounding and gargantuan possession differential, the Thunder's 3-point shooting, the Heat's 7-game win streak, and more.
