It's kind of wild that Jaylen is one of the leaders of the players' association that agreed to this terrible CBA, given that it's probably going to prevent him and Tatum from staying together as long as they should.

But what if every other employee underwent mandatory training to learn how to get along with the bad one?

All the "Biden decline cover-up" coverage just seems wild in the context of the current president's obvious decline (which isn't being reported on).

Payton Pritchard said he’s “ready to go to war tonight.” “There’s nothing worse than having to go home and not be able to play basketball.”

(opens patio door) I’ll be taking my ice cream sandwich al fresco this evening

Elon Musk didn’t buy Twitter to promote free speech, he bought it to spread white supremacist propaganda.

They hit 22 threes tonight… If they had hit ONE MORE three in the first two games, they’d be up 3-2 instead of down 3-2 right now

Really interesting read from @tomhaberstroh.bsky.social on Jayson Tatum's injury, the rise of postseason star injuries overall, and the dangerous intersection of expanded geometry and increased physicality: sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/...

According to NBA dot com tracking data, players are running nearly 10% more distance per minute on court than they did a decade ago It's no surprise that the more miles a player puts on his body, the more likely he is to get injured

WHERE MY ROAD DOGS AT?!?

Jokic dressed like the Joker (via NBA)

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

People keep asking why NBA players don't play as hard during the regular season as they do during this Knicks-Celtics game and the answer is because if they did several players would die by February.

i love this stupid league

AND HE HIT EM WITH THE SAM CASSELL

Brunson played in 32 games from Jan. 1 through the end of the season. The Knicks went 17-15 in them, got outscored by 2.9 points per 100 possessions with him on the court in them, and the starting lineup was -1.9-per-100 in them. They weren't mid/worse because he was out; that's just what they were.

I cannot stand any attempt to diminish the Isaiah Thomas Celtics It was a magical time and it’s one of my most cherished sports memories and if you bash them for never winning it all I don’t think you really understand or watch sports for the right reasons

Media’s favorite pastime is overrating the Lakers, but in fact since 2012-13 their W-L is 475-570 (.455). They’ve had 8 coaches. Omit the weird bubble year and in the other 12 seasons: -2 series wins (both 2023) -4x 1st-round exit -3x play-in -7x lottery Oh, but they won an in-season tournament.

Luka is a CONE defensively 😭😭 (via BrickCenter) #NBA

Per Dick Lipe: "Jayson Tatum is the first player in NBA playoff history with 35+ points, 12+ FT and 1.000 FT PCT in consecutive games. He also had 14 rebounds and 3 steals tonight."

Myles Turner… #NBA

the wall is the single greatest thing to happen to basketball since the invention of the 3 pointer tell me i’m wrong

To recap: —Cost to have a baby: $33K —Cost for annual childcare: $20K —Cost of median house: $419K Meanwhile, Trump's "solution" to the decrease in birth rates? Give parents $5000 to have a baby. This isn't just performative—it's offensively stupid. Moreover, here's what MAGAs WON'T do 1/2

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

stealing the opponents jersey after each celtics playoff win ☘️ playoff record: 1-0

30 piece with seven threes 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@karenkrussell.bsky.social owning and wearing my bill russell tribute jersey truly a wtf moment. deeply honored

"The phrase ‘defending a title’ is a very passive-aggressive term. If you look at the animal kingdom, some of the strongest animals don’t defend; they’re the most aggressive, and they attack the most." (9/6/2024)

derrick white is boston and boston is derrick white

The Pelicans hired a President of Basketball Ops who hasn't been a serious candidate for any other NBA team in years without even interviewing anyone else and somehow they're not even the most embarrassing team in their own division today

Nick Emmanwori measured 6'3" 220 lbs at the NFL combine. Those 4 pounds sure make a huge difference.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

“The reporter from MyPillow asked the White House press secretary why the president looks so healthy and robust” is a true sentence that exists in our current reality.

Nikola Jokić's last three games: ◽️ 61 PTS, 10 REB, 10 AST vs. MIN ◽️ 33 PTS, 12 REB, 9 AST vs. GS ◽️ 41 PTS, 15 REB, 13 AST vs. IND The Nuggets are 0-3 in that stretch.

Schwarzenegger winning seemed like the most embarrassing thing that would ever happen in politics at the time and now he’s to the left of every elected Republican and a few Democrats and just makes videos going “young men, my fadda was a Nazi and he was a contemptible loosah”

@ditzkoff.bsky.social The Tesla salespeople watching from inside:

Seriously: arrest him. The governor should have state police arrest him and charge him with election fraud. Then immediately hold a press conference explaining you arrested someone for committing election fraud and will continue to do so. Just fucking arrest him already. You can actually do this

Wizardry

They're calling it a mishap. A MISHAP. It's 1) a grave and embarrassing breach of national security and 2) a criminal leak of sensitive top secret info plus 3) a blatant violation of the Presidential Records Act by the most powerful officials in the federal government

So Trump saw Dems pathetic response to Jan 6th and concluded basically everyone with 'power' in America was actually a pathetic push over coward and... It turns out he was right.

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.
