I truly believe this Nets team could threaten Roy Rubin's Sixers team for futility.

Nets franchise should be happy that NBA doesn't have relegation. This is a G league team. But tanking got Sixers Edgecombe.

It appears that Embiid's only response is a sarcastic tweet. Team no official response. It's fourth time for him. Team needs to be be held accountable. Embiid needs to be held accountable.

I don't want to be a war machine
All the death, all the pain
The guns and the ammo
I don′t want to be a war machine
I don't want to turn back into what I've been
I don′t want to be a war machine
I am hard on the shell but inside I am hollow
I don′t want to be a war machine
War machine

We need to address the fact that the LAPD - which is not ICE and at least nominally under the control of a liberal Democrat -- is violent and out of control and violating human rights just like the feds are

Five fans will be hospitalized because of insane, inane screeching interminable light show every 10 seconds.
Maxey, VJ unstoppable. But Nets dissed too long.
Poor Embiid, who missed potential game winner, sits again.
Hurting or just more misdirection?
His vertical this season is about 6 inches.

Sixers takeaways: Dominick Barlow’s glaring absence, VJ Edgecombe’s dry spells and more from season’s first loss Barlow’s energy was missed in the Sixers' slow start. Meanwhile, Edgecombe only got one shot attempt in the fourth quarter.

Why the NBA’s investigation of Terry Rozier raises questions about future gambling probes Suspicious prop bets on Terry Rozier were flagged in 2023. But after an NBA investigation, the guard played until his arrest last week.

Before he was indicted by the DOJ, why was Terry Rozier able to play for two more years after an NBA investigation? And what does it mean for future NBA investigations into sports gambling? www.nytimes.com/athletic/676...

Things like a) emailing the wrong Bill de Blasio and b) then interviewing that wrong "Bill DeBlasio" through HIS DOORBELL are definitely things that couldn't have happened when I started in journalism. We were calling police precincts on landlines and the ER nurses, since there was also no HIPPA

Influential news outlets like NYT/ WSJ continue trivialize coverage of the pro-democracy movement & demonstrations like #NoKings. Editors of local outlets did better.
