I understand we're talking about a big horse does she weigh over 15,000 pounds youtube.com/shorts/_DZKw...

Raptors take Cavs to 7 Magic and Pistons going 7 after 6 games of horror basketball I still cannot believe the Hawks voluntarily declined a spot in this half of the East bracket in order to lose at home by 50 points

didn't get to turn on the DVR until a little before 10. So when the lead hit 20, I started fast-forwarding, telling myself I'd watch on normal speed once the Hawks got it back to 15 At the 7:12 mark of the second quarter--7:12, 2Q !!!--the lead hit 60-19 and I just turned it off and went to bed

y'all come curl with me when this is done, cool? (or sooner. sooner's good too)

unfortunate for Jalen his playoff coming-out party happened to come against OG Anunoby, but if we're talking about the Hawks entering actual title contention, he needed to show more this series regardless the below seems plainly correct

meanwhile, 28 combined minutes for Vincent and Kispert Quin's season dying as it lived: in a flurry of utterly inexplicable rotation decisions

Y'all thought we were already not getting enough cool Round of 64 upsets? How about if we suck 2 more 15s onto the 16 line and 2 more 14s onto the 15 line and so on, so that every auto-bid team in the tournament has a tougher matchup than before? Sound good?

lot of different songwriters out there doing different things with different goals, but one thing they've *all* tried at least once is writing a Christmas song and only one of them wrote the greatest Christmas song of the past 60 years

Detroit finished *15* games ahead of ORL in the East. And unlike some past one-and-done 1-seeds, they're not injured, all their dudes are available. At some point you have to wonder if staying healthy and trying hard to win regular season games is *detrimental* to playoff chances for some teams

Yeah, think it's fine to go ahead and say: yes, the Hawks absolutely should have made the (not even that strenuous) effort to get themselves into the Cavs/Pistons bracket over the Knicks/Celtics bracket

Feel like I have a memory from years ago of this total passing $100,000 and thinking "Holy crap! A hundred thousand dollars! This is incredible!" and now look

Had the usual good time talking Town with Matt and Killer at @takesthatchance.bsky.social. Would've been a better time if Town (or the Town men, anyway) gave us anything positive to talk about

Maybe the best goal you'll see an American score this year

been said already, but increasing your usage enough to add 11.4 freaking points to your scoring average while also somehow upping your TS% *and* AST% is outrageous richly deserved

Understand Quin closing w/ Kuminga when they need his defense on Towns. But overall Dyson was still probably the best Hawk on the court for the first 3.5 quarters

ell oh ellllllllll

And he played 34 minutes! Wasn't like he got in foul trouble and sat for a quarter Remarkable

Back-to-back 1-point wins and a 2-1 lead in the series despite a -9 scoring margin CAW-CAAAAAAAWWWW

Not a good time for Okongwu to develop greasefingers

Up 11 (pending KAT's FTs) w/ JJ and NAW a combined 5-of-20 from the field is wild

bummer to not be up more, honestly, given possession battle is almost even and Hawks were so much better from 3 but I will certainly take it

love how hard it's become to recognize this team sometimes

gimme all the positive shooting variance, plzkthx (Hawks also finally moved the ball a bit and got some actual looks)

NIU should be allowed to steal this ump's car, throw a basket of dead trout into the back seat, let it sit in a Wal-Mart parking lot for a week, and send him anonymous note letting him know where to pick it up

Celebrated Hugh Freeze's departure with a $58 donation to @newap-georgia.bsky.social (plus fees)--a buck for every point by which he lost ATS to Diego Pavia and NMSU in his final Liberty game before blighting Auburn, a 49-14 loss as a 23-point favorite @edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social

Still doubt Hawks' chances to win this series are much > ~10% --"save us with iso jumpers and floaters, CJ McCollum!" is not a sustainable plan on O, even if Brunson's guarding him--but 1. last night was awesome 2. as long as Dyson and NAW force Brunson to work this hard, there *is* that chance

Donnarumma could have just picked that up, right? Backpass rule doesn't apply to a throw-in, right? Think that's an even worse error than it's being given credit for

Couldn't watch Hawks-Knicks live. Avoided spoilers, just got home, fired up Prime, hit the "watch from beginning" button stream immediately jumped to the postgame show with the final score on the screen thanks guys, great stuff

Surprised at the strength of consensus here that it wasn't worth trying to avoid the Knicks when we *just saw* how one of NYK's greatest strengths (MitchRob/offensive rebounding) lines up w/ the Hawks' biggest current weakness (no backup 5 for the matchup/defensive rebounding)

It's April 15, 2026, and Steph Curry is *still* doing the Steph Curry thing and it's *still* just the coolest damn thing ever

It's so damning of the English media that it was an American who wrote the article explaining why Tottenham's squad building has been such a disaster even though it's been obvious for years www.espn.com/soccer/story...

guy who hired our World Cup coach is Lyle Lanleying his way out of town (to Saudi Arabia!) before the World Cup even gets here, huh I try to be even-handed about US Soccer--would argue hiring Poch was still a major achievement when if the results are very much TBD--but it's all so uninspiring

young boys young girls young boys young girls (young boys) ain't supposed to die on a saturday night (young girls) ain't supposed to die on a saturday night (young boys) well they ain't supposed to die on a saturday night

Let's go Ma-gic! (clap clap clapclapclap) (not that I care all *that* much about Knicks vs. Cavs, but am in the camp that feels like w/ Landale out and/or hobbled, the Hawks would have a harder time matching up w/ Mitchell Robinson than the Cavs' frontcourt)

22 shots to Wycombe's 8, 2.48 xG to 1.08, somehow still concede 3 and draw (at home) with their last realistic chance at top 6 on the line the summer cannot come fast enough

have spent all season trying to look at the positives of Quin Snyder's forest (good O despite poor spacing, huge development leaps for JJ/NAW/OO, overcoming Trae/KP failure) and not obsess over his infuriating, enraging trees (too many rotation decisions to name) but he makes it so damn hard, y'all

SCULLY: It's impossible. There's no one on earth who could teach you to fit that many marshmallows in your mouth. MULDER: Daff righ...... No one...... on urff...

sucks that all of the attention right now is on something extremely bad instead of the coolest thing that has happened in my entire life

not the thing that sucks the most this morning, but boy howdy does it suck all the same

My biggest pet peeve in all of sports broadcasting: a team wins a huge college basketball game and instead of watching the players lose their minds celebrating the achievement of a lifetime, we see the thrilling, iconic visual of...the coaches shaking hands. Show me the interesting things! Please!

Thanks Goga! Thanks Magic! Appreciate you!

When the easy thing is not to care about -- or as Murphy demonstrated, even play in -- a tournament like the NIT, pretty cool to see this Auburn team show up and take care of their business for 5 straight games Didn't have to do that. Did anyway. Proud of that

Happy Easter

days late but it's Friday afternoon, gonna share some lesser-shared faves

well, if they had to rob NAW, this is the most pleasant way for them to do it

probably when we found out goblins were posting among us the whole time, we just never noticed

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!
