how many spam calls a day do you get? so far today I've had 8 which seems excessive, even with how prevalent spam callers are recently

the new Hyrule Warriors game has a new korok character who wears a little leaf cowboy hat......... need 2 play

having the hats on set for the roster reveal is so cute!

Nneka... Nneka no...

Sports in 2025 in a nutshell: the President of the WNBA Players Association has chosen to align herself with perhaps the world’s foremost purveyor of human rights abuses against women while being the public face of a fight over the exploitation of WNBA players

basketball Asians!!!

The most exciting basketball documentary I’ve ever heard of is on its way… for YEARS, a small independent team has been working on a film about EJ Lee, whose story captures what makes women's basketball so glorious, heartbreaking and provocative. Learn more about it: www.ejleedocumentary.com

this game went from a tie to OKC being up 25 in no time

Dillon Brooks technical foul from the bench? alright

I try to know these things, but: Isaiah Livers is still in the NBA? and on the Suns???

whoa (I'm curious about other long player-vs-team win streaks)

good board by Davion Mitchell to end the game there

god bless Russell Westbrook, honestly

"a lot of Russell here" is not what you want to hear if you're a Mavs fan

I let out the most mirthful cackle to see Jusuf Nurkic hit what appears to be the game-winner

Jaylen Brown hasn't shaved his head yet? I guess he's safe because the Jazz aren't wearing white jerseys today

Tom just asked me if Dave Roberts is Rob Manfred

congratulations to Miguel Rojas' necklace and Yoshinobu Yamamoto's necklace

that is a really gorgeous sapphire necklace that Yoshinobu Yamamoto has on

Warriors don't make me mad on a weekend challenge: failed horrendously

the silliest thing about digital ads is seeing the San Jose State University logo artificially projected onto the Pacers' home court in Indiana, which is very far away from SJSU

obsessed with the kid they showed a picture of on the Dubs broadcast, who was wearing a curly wig, a lavender hoodie, and a Valks jersey. he was dressed as Brandin Podziemski, Valkyries super fan!

I have the basketball Jellycat plush, which is adorable and perfect, but I just realized that I reaaaally want one with the WNBA ball design (which doesn't exist, but could and should)

"no soup for you" on a block call is...novel

they keep talking about isolo’s “ championship in europe” and it’s freaking eurocup

LEGEND OF ZELDA ANIMAL CROSSING UPDATE??????

I bought sansho pepper to put on my food and it's doing a lot of work on this Costco rotisserie chicken

there is a typo in the Japanese header that makes it appear to say "Toronto Gulls," which is also intimidating but in a different way

anyway, I'd like to thank the Warriors for winning on Pride Night and for not embarrassing themselves in front of Veronica Burton, Kate Martin, and Coach Nakase!

E-40 is wearing a Burberry hoodie, I think there is a hat under there but I can't tell what kind of hat it is

whenever I want to know what I'd look like talking to [insert basketball player here], I look for a picture of Coach Nat

Podz with the chasedown block on Chris Paul in transition has me in stitches

I really enjoyed these! I wonder if players get to choose where they're introduced as being from? for example, Kuminga's is "Democratic Republic of the Congo" (though his last team before being drafted was the defunct G League Ignite), and I think Jimmy Butler's is just "Tomball, Texas"

aunty discourse contribution: it wounded me when my husband's cousin's 21-year-old son called me "aunty" instead of 姐姐 (big sis) because we're a generation apart, but as much as it hurts my pride he was raised right

Can you believe it’s almost midnight? That’s so late to be watching baseball. Good thing it’s not any later than that for anybody reading this

since this game started, I: drove to another city, had dinner with my family, went to an entire piano recital, listened to two encores, drove two people home to two different cities, returned home myself, and the game is still going on

alright time to lock in on this baseball game I guess

Adam Silver looks like he’s never had a soup he didn’t like

Lakers/Kings is hilarious

why was water spraying off of Courtney Kirkland during that review? (this has also been an extremely long first quarter)

a kid at the Pistons game got on the jumbotron, and as he popped out of his seat he spilled the drink of the lady sitting next to him, but possibly managed to knock it onto the lady next to her? minor disaster

the way he crouches behind Keldon Johnson as if to hide himself is hilarious to me

is it good? that Egor Dëmin is the first rookie all-time with 11 3PA and 0 2PA?

I've never watched or read Chainsaw Man, but the song JANE DOE from the recent movie was the only song I listened to for 2 weeks straight (the song is by Utada Hikaru and Kenshi Yonezu, two of my favorite musicians)

"Usually when we're talking spillage, we're talkin' liquid. But this? This is a solid." –Ryan Ruocco, on the topic of popcorn

what on earth are the Cavs doing lol

here's our last piece for the week: an examination of all the off-season trades with tenured players, and how much those trades feel like front office pencil-pushing! there's also a bonus section with other player movement, like James Wiseman returning to the Pacers. buttondown.com/wedontknowba...

Why are we putting Adelman’s minutes coached in the game stats highlights?

I knew the Warriors wouldn't lose in front of Kate, Veronica, and Kayla
