as I said on the Playback, that was the ultimate LeBron play, really. Individual streak on the line and still made the right pass

β€œHe trusts his formula. It often works. But when it doesn’t work, it looks awful, and blame is rightfully placed on him.”

Good, nuanced analysis here:

. @chelsealeite.bsky.social hit the nail on the head. You can't talk about your growth and how popular you're becoming at every opportunity and then cry poor when it's time to pay your workers (who are also the actual product in this case!)

Giannis in discussion with Bucks over future Giannis Antetokounmpo in in discussion with Milwaukee Bucks over his future with the team, which is far from settled

"In light of the dour present and the potentially dour short- and medium-term future for the franchise, Giannis may view his best chances at a title lie elsewhere. It is his right to make that call."

They aren’t but they will be if they make the league. The combine is a little more than a job interview, your prospective employer doesn’t get all your detailed medical records and future evaluations

Like I get the union sometimes using future players as a concession to get what current players want but agreeing to salary reductions for your future members seems ludicrous to me

I was at the Clippers' game last week when they had sort of an impromptu CP3 Appreciation night and our friend (a lifelong Clips fan) compared it to a family giving their dog "one last great day" before sending them to the farm and was accidentally the most prescient woman alive

It’s time for the Bucks to fire Doc Rivers Rivers is 74-66 (.528) in 140 career games as the Bucks head coach

"This season has proved, more than any, that the league has passed Rivers by."

@brewhoop.bsky.social was early on the calls to fire Adrian Griffin, and now @jgrossreporter.bsky.social says it's time for Doc to go.

Cavs bench talent has helped negate some second-apron penelties The Cavaliers have gotten useful contributions from the back half of their rotation.

"Having multiple key contributors on affordable deals will be the name of the game for the Cavs if they want to keep the core four together. So far, they have done a good job of navigating the second apron in terms of filling out the back half of the rotation."
