I can’t quite tell you why your car is in the front yard, or why you slept with your clothes on, but don’t worry, I’m not gone.

Every single day, the guys from Section 400 will be providing a rundown of everything that happened in the world of sports the night before. Happy Friday!

Arrival.

The alien freak of nature that is Victor Wembanyama has officially arrived. After “Wemby” struggled on the offensive end for the majority of the Summer League and first few games of the regular season, the French phenom wen’t nucluear in the desert, dropping 38 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks in the Spurs second straight win over the Suns.

The Suns got Devin Booker back from an ankle injury in this one, but it wasn’t enough to get Phoenix past “Wemby” and the now 3-2 young Spurs.

The Suns have dropped to 2-3 heading into the mid-season tournament and reports out of Phoenix suggest Bradley Beal has gone missing, as the dude cannot seem to stay on the basketball court the last few years.

The Suns spent a good amount of capital to overhaul their roster this year, and so far it’s been a bit of a disaster. I would say it’s still early, but apparently we’re in the playoffs already.

The Steelers are somehow, someway, a 5-3 football team. Pittsburgh took down the Will Levis led-Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night, winning by a final score of 20-16.

Steelers receiver Diontae Johnson scored his first touchdown in over a year and a half, which is pretty hard to believe considering he is one of the better receivers in the league. Johnson finished as the games leading receiver with 7 receptions, 90 yards, and that touchdown.

Titans quarterback Will Levis was solid, throwing for 262 yards and an interception that came in the games final seconds.

That is about all I have for this game. (If you don’t know by now I absolutely DESPISE the AFC North and all it stands for). I will say the boys went 2-1 in our best bets, and we were all on the Steelers in our TNF Roundtable.

That puts our bets at 7-2 in the last three prime time games. If you don’t read the roundtables, now is the time to start.

The fallout from the James Harden trade is more radioactive than the guard’s bank account at “Magic City” on a Friday night.

Harden took shots at the 76ers in his introductory press conference with the Clippers, stating he was “on a leash” with Philadelphia last season, adding, “I’m not a system player. I am a system.”

While it’s easy to laugh off that statement when thinking about Harden’s uncanny ball hogging, foul drawing, mentality, it does have some merit. Harden was ranked 76th in usage last year. That was well behind players like Jordan Clarkson (36), Jalen Brunson (44), and Terry Rozier (48).

For reference, his teammate and MVP Joel Embiid was ranked fourth.

Still, it’s hard to agree with Harden after watching him in the 76ers offense last year. The aforementioned Embiid took the high road when asked about the comments, stating “I think [Harden] did a lot of great things for us,

The reining MVP did make sure to mention how often his former teammate had the ball in his hands, “In my opinion, we gave him the ball every single possession, because he’s really good. He’s an amazing player. Obviously, being that great of a passer, I think we gave him the ball … we’d give him the ball every single possession to just go out and, you know, do his thing.”

Something tells me this back-and-forth is not over and the fallout of the James Harden saga is going to be felt for a while. This league!
