Is he a total offensive genius or does he just have a super cool run game? This team might just be the Bulls. He might just be Billy D and the roster might just be a whole group of Coby Whites

Giannis joins Brewers ownership group MILWAUKEE -- And you thought Willy Adames was the Brewers’ biggest acquisition in May? Turns out, the club had an even bigger deal brewing. Besides picking up Adames, the shortstop who has transformed...

Thanks for this. It sent me down a rabbit hole to find this article -

You aren't going to be who you are in preseason wk 1, for better or worse, this time thankfully; but I do put a bit of stock in this because by their own words it was time to grow up and the reps mattered. And by that, you can't help but be pretty disappointed w how Packers have taken to this start

When we talk about NBA MVP we almost never hear about Giannis owning the best baseball team in the MLB? And I think that's wrong.

I don't know a lot about baseball strategy but I feel like more teams should do this Brewers thing of never losing?

Haha, the guy signed to return punts fielded one on the 4 and muffed one. Spots opening all over the roster tonight!

So all the Packers young guys are just Coby White, then

We can't save this for Monday? (I'm sure the rest will) They're letting a Friday afternoon schedule news dump happen? Shams is a dipshit and bad for the NBA, and the NBA is terrible in the attention market man

Keith Smith gets the same contract info and he doesn't have to peddle in rumors and fake trade smut to get it 3 minutes earlier. But, congrats I guess.

I just don't understand how any of that is worth. As an "insider" he's really just a text you the contract guy. Is that worth it? What an incredibly stupid career.

Tell Jrue Holiday I miss him, for me. Thanks.

It's time for the NBA schedule drop. I need to get irrationally mad at unreasonably long road trips, too few nat'l TV games, stacked months, 5 games in 7 nights, back to backs at altitude, schedule losses, and poorly timed west coast trips. You know, the things that matter in life

It's been a silly preseason for Packers injuries. Rightfully cautious with them, but it's giving me bad vibes

No one is "down" on the Pistons but I'm definitely feeling like I'm in the highest belief tier and I think it's mostly because I lived the Malik Beasley experience, and sweethearts you're fine

Anthony Gill? In August? It's too early to buy out Khris Middleton, guys. Patience.

I've been thinking about it for a couple days now, I think AJ Green is going to finish top 5 in MIP. He won't have the on-ball or usage to win, but I'm very excited for the NBA world to figure out he's better JJ Redick, finally

I was hoping to see weird ugly gold corner gone. Oh well. Go Bucks

People who didn't watch every night will call it cope, but you really had to live it to get it.

They're def going to camp with plan to play turbo offense and shoot more 3s. Losing to Pacers will do that. You don't target Myles specifically to play slower. Their words say it. I'm curious/skeptical how committed/long they actually do it. Running is everyone's idea until you run for 3 weeks

They also already played an alarming amount of games without that recognizable peak Dame bump. They already survived 45 nights of average guard play 🀷. What's a couple more.

There's just no gentle way to explain away the team defense numbers. Abysmal. And the guys you can't play next to him. Generating free throws is going to be a huge problem tho. But everything else i think gets spread out in a way that's kinda fine on aggregate

Tldr; I'm drawing a distinction between falling behind and getting ahead. Because Dame was wildly overrated in 2025

The raw stats will impress! Because someone has to score in NBA games and he had the ball a lot. They won't get that from one guy. It was just a lot of dead end possessions tho. It wasn't fun. It's weirdly not insurmountable loss with little bit of luck and a decent addition somewhere along the way

Don't think Bucks are better this season, but have such little respect for Dame the basketball player at this point I think their record is basically same. Going to miss his foul drawing. Big time. But that was only consistent contribution and his defense was 10,000 leagues under the sea underwater

I think an interesting story is how long they fight the desire to be respectable vs prudently shutting it down. Each have their own pick. I think it's easier for the Celtics to shut it down than the Pacers
