pretty tough week to be playing the guy who has Bam in fantasy
On one hand, 43 free-throw attempts seems like an impossibly absurd number. On the other, watching the way the Wizards defended ... seems a little low.
Best use of a challenge in league history?
I can't believe that somebody might get to 81, and that that somebody is Bam Adebayo
Bam made seven 3s in his first five NBA seasons total. He has taken more 3s tonight (17) than he did in any of his first six seasons. He's been stepping out more over the past two years, but tonight, obviously, is delightfully uncharted territory.
Spo keeping Bam out there to start the fourth, with 70 within reach, is pretty great.
"Another timeout for the helpless Washington Wizards. I have empathy for them." Legitimately hilarious call from Eric Reid on the Heat broadcast.
Looked to me like Jaylen Brown had a legitimate gripe on not getting that foul call on the bump out of bounds from Stephon Castle. But ringing him up for two Ts in that spot, in a game like this ... man, I don't know.
6 shots in 5 minutes! His career high in a game is 12.
"If you feel like youβre speaking up on our behalf, I hate to break it to you. youβre not. Youβre belittling us."
"This sure is a lot of Carter Bryant shooting," he thought, succinctly detailing the Celtics' defensive gameplan
"oh look at me, I'm Ben McKenzie, I was in the OC and then I got a degree in economics and crypto is a scam but no one was doing anything about it so I made a documentary also Iβm married to Morena Baccarin" man good for you
Meta wants me to feel OK.
Saw a bumper sticker in the wild that said "IF YOU HONK AT ME I WILL KILL MYSELF," laughed and posted it on my IG story. Next time I picked up my phone, I had this notification. I deeply appreciate the concern of oomf.

"he wasnβt arguing against criticism of his game. he was arguing against a characterization of his mind. the problem is he bundled that argument with everything else." || "zero turnovers," from bang! bangnba.substack.com/p/zero-turno...
The general approval rating of Draft Kings and Fan Duel among normal people is probably pretty negative, but in a sort of obvious way. Some of us participate in it. Almost all of us find its ubiquity in sports annoying. Most nof us see it as a net negative but just accepting that fact is enough to sort of not investigate any further, the way people can kind of say "politicians are corrupt" and then not follow their local races or propositions.
fo his weekβs My Time Back, i wrote about @dannyfunt.bsky.social βs Everybody Loses, why i think itβs the most important sports book this decade, my own gambling addiction, and why iβm glad it was an illegal bookie who got their hooks in me mytimeback.beehiiv.com/p/everybody-...
The numbers are different three months down the line β though, kind of shockingly, not *that* different β but still feel pretty good about this one! yhoo.it/48dEwsS

For a second there β the second where I forgot about the existence of a university of same name β I was actually considering picking up the phone to talk to a PR flack about a story

the flavor that you gain outweighs the risk
Cool, man, have a good day
The Warriors just lost to the Jazz to fall back to .500, and could be tied with the Clippers for 8/9 by the end of the night. Now 7-13 since Jimmy went down and 5-9 since Steph joined him; 22nd in net rating since the start of February. Not great! yhoo.it/4l4ZM8N
Some SGA fun facts:
- On pace to be the first player since Michael Jordan in 1993 to have 4 straight 30 PPG seasons
- On pace to have the 2nd-highest TS% in a 30 PPG season all-time, behind Steph Curry.
- On pace to lead the NBA in 30-point games for the fourth straight season.
Doesn't seem *great* that KAT got hung on a dunk, smoked a layup, and then repeatedly grabbed for and tried flexing his right knee, and then stayed in the game
