I give the Celtics credit for the way they're playing, but they've now faced 5 of the 8 worst offenses in the entire NBA and one of those they played twice
#Celtics allow 39 in the 1st half after 41 on WED. Would've been the 4th-lowest 1st half points allowed total for them all of last season. Boston ranked 7th in defense entering tonight.

His shifted usage has given him the energy to become an elite defender again. It's part of the reason they brought in other scorers. They'll find better efficiency, but I think they'd take this defensive version of Embiid over running the offense exclusively through him
Sixers offensive issues in a nutshell: Embiid shifted usage and shot diet to accommodate new guys, and his scoring impact has collapsed as a result. Maxey is playing exactly the same way as always. Need better balance from both

Man, Paul Reed had some really fun moments early in this game - but he's been downright awful since

There’s literally never been a time in his career where Grant Calcaterra could do something resembling blocking.
#Eagles OC Sean Mannion on why he liked TE Grant Calcaterra in a prominent blocking role vs. the Commanders: “He’s done a great job with things like that in his past. … he’s a flexible piece.”

When you can get your hands on the offensive coordinator for the 14th-best offense in football…
I think the Eagles short list for a head coach this offseason should/would be: Declan Doyle Shane Steichen Kellen Moore Lincoln Riley Grant Udinski

Mitchell Robinson: 4 pts, 4 reb, 0 blocks, -16. What does he do well?

Hahaha. So true. The team has zero drama. They all like each other. They’re winning. So now we get “Jabari Walker eats spices”
ESPN sent like 6 guys to cover the sixers in case they collapse but they keep winning so now we get reports like this

@RobbieBuckets & I are back with another podcast. #Patriots wake up in the 2nd half to win in Miami. What was the biggest key in the turnaround? Are they contenders heading into the 2nd half of the year? Plus quick takes around the NFL + bottom 5 coaches youtube.com/watch?v=AO_BFUyb…

Look, the team I root for sucks right now, but it is truly shocking watching the Cowboys ineptitude

He’s out. You can’t have a QB return if the emergency QB comes in
QB Tyler Huntley (toe) is questionable.

They're not even top 5 in 2026
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team so decimated by injury as the 2026 New England Patriots.

Why are you guys all driving around when I should be the one owning all the cars?
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

The 65-game rule isn't the problem here. It's the rule that states that a certain award determines how much money a player can make
Due to the NBA’s 65-game rule, Anthony Edwards is expected to miss out on a 4-year, $304M supermax deal for making All-NBA due to his injury. Damn.

“Travel and player health to consider.” As the league does everything possible to keep the Hawks and Cavs on a back to back
Replying to @ramonashelburne
I’ve heard from several NBA executives about this situation today. The general sentiment is that NBA games can be moved, but it’s extremely difficult two days in advance. There’s employees to schedule, tickets to sell, travel and player health to consider. A few weeks ago, it would have been a lot easier to move a game to Cleveland or from Thursday to Friday (creating back-to-backs for both teams). But last minute is very challenging.

I'll say again, of all of Howie's not-so-good moves this offseason - the Jordan Davis contract is the worst
