The blossoms, though, are what make the court sing. They are beautiful yet unintrusive. Rendering them unfilled -- outlined only -- somehow makes them feel light, soft, fluttery. The blossom petals at center court seem to cascade downward into the blue paint, echoing the way the real petals fall into the Tidal Basin, Kacsur says. (That motif is echoed on the gradient-style cherry blossom jerseys, which transition from pink down to blue in the shorts.)

Thus far, playing Simmons at center hasn't worked to unlock the offense. Despite the majority of those minutes coming with Durant on the court, Brooklyn is still averaging just 107.7 points per 100 possessions when Simmons plays without Claxton, per analysis of data from NBA Advanced Stats, barely better than the team's offensive rating with Simmons and Claxton (107.6).

"We don't have time for feelings or people being in their feelings. Like, we're trying to turn this thing around," Ham said after the Blazers' win dropped the Lakers to 0-3 on the season. "For one person to be in their feelings about when and where and how they should be in the game, I don't have any time for that."
